After Sugar, Next is AGRI - JK AGRI GENETICS LTD

INTERESTING STOCK TO WATCH
SECTOR FOCUS: AGRI
AFTER SUGAR, ITS AGRI TIME.

JK AGRI GENETICS LTD
BSE: 536493
CMP: 389
MCAP: 140 CRORES
52 WEEK HIGH: 620
52 WEEK LOW: 389

JK Agri Genetics Ltd.(JKAL), is a leading seed company established in 1989 with its headquarters at Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh(India). JKAL is engaged in research and development, production, processing and marketing of Cotton, Maize, Paddy, Pearl Millet, Sorghum , Sunflower, Castor, Mustard, Wheat, Sorghum Sudan grass, Fodder beet, Tomato, Okra, Chillies and other vegetable seeds.

The company just announced its Q4 numbers and have surprised with small profits which is rare in the march quarter,
For the full year 2016 the company has clocked Sales of almost 189 crores with net profit of 8.01 crores and annualized EPS stands at 22.25.
At cmp 389, the stock is trading at almost 17 x P/E.

Last year Monsoon had a huge short-fall, this time  Monsoon is expected to be very good.
I think the company can do well in FY17-18 with good monsoon.
It was recently reported that there has been shortage of Corn (Maize) seeds and the stock of Monsanto rallied 40% last week on the same news.


Maize Seeds is a key product for JK AGRI GENETICS LTD too.

Peers of JK AGRI trade at rich valuations with Monsanto commanding a p/e of 50 odd, Advanta commanding p/e of almost 40. But these companies are doing much better than JK AGRI and at a much larger scale.

Going forward from here i expect good movement in JK AGRI both business wise and Stock price action wise.

There is also one IPO of a seed company expected sooner or later (nuziveedu seeds)

After recent mad rally in Sugar Sector, i expect the market focus to be drawn towards Agri sector (fertilizers,seeds,agri chem) which is the back bone of India and a major thrust area for the Modi government.

I feel both (traders/investors) can look at JK AGRI GENETICS LTD for both short and long term opportunities.

That's all for now, even though we do not discuss micro and too small cap stocks in a detailed way here anymore, i thought this one was worthy of a post... Will post more such stuff as and when i notice.

Happy Reading!

    1. I believe your question is on SUDITI Industries, i don't closely track it.. The news of Yuvraj Singh investing was there and that had propped it up.
