The promoters of the Company are Shapoorji Pallonji and Company Pvt Ltd and Khurshed Yazdi Daruvala.
SW Solar is engaged in providing Solar engineering, procurement & construction (EPC) solutions.
The company according to IHS Markit is the world's largest Solar EPC Solution Provider with presence in almost 30 countries.
For FY 2019 company had revenues of 8240 crores, with net profit of 639 crores.
The stock currently trades at a Market Cap of 5100 crores (Mcap/Sales of 0.61) and P/E of 8x.
Sterling & Wilson Solar IPO opened in August 2019 at an issue price of 780 and the stock listed around 700.
Post that the stock was marred with rating downgrades for the group over delay over loan repayment, The management during the IPO had promised to repay debt of 1000 crores it had taken as a loan (ICD) from SW Solar which will reduce 1000 crores out of total debt of about 2200 crore on the books of SWSOLAR by CY 2019 end.
Due to group level liquidity crunch the management sought more time to repay the loans and said to be working on a new schedule of repayment.
Due to such uncertainty over repayment of loans the stock price heavily corrected, SW Solar crashed from around 570 at start of November to about 245 at the start of December.
As known Shapoorji Pallonji's wealth remains locked in shareholding of Tata Sons and the Ratan Tata v/s Cyrus Mistry (son of SP Group chairman Pallonji Mistry) boardroom scuffle has resulted in bitter relationship between the two groups.
Recent media reports suggested that the SP Group sold shares in TCS worth almost 400 crores, Now the NCLAT came out with a ruling in Cyrus Mistry's favour seeking to re-appoint Mistry as the Exec Chairman of Tata Group and if at all any announcements on Re-Payment of SW Solar loan comes there will be a huge bounce-back for the stock.
Funda:
- Cheap valuations
- World's largest SOLAR EPC player
- Good financial performance delivered
- SP Group despite downturn remains a strong promoter group.
Techno:
The stock as said has gone through heavy correction, the fall has been vertical and has left a lot of gaps on the charts, Since we are punting on a turnaround in fundas, the techno gap-filling at 400 and 490 can happen, The highest single day volume post listing day was at lower levels close to 259, Recent lows of 290 should act as technical support which is why our SL is placed at 280 with a target of 400 and 490 in the next 20 trading sessions.
