The company as seen above is consistently paying dividend, Actually its paying dividend since FY 2002.

The packaged food industry is the 5th Largest sector in India. The Indian packaged food industry is worth $ 39.7 billion and is expected to more than double by 2025. India presently is ranked 5th in the world and 2nd in Asia and with per capita consumption of 24 kg per year the market is yet to boom and is only at the early stage. India is also the 4th largest market for beverages in Asia with a consumption of 22 bn litre of drinks (soft/hard).

With the new Food Safety & Standard Regulations focusing on the quality of packaging, It is set to boost the sales of reliable flexible packaging.

With the New Govt. at centre, Weakening inflation and Make In India plans there are hopes that soon there will be a rise in the disposable income among young Indians which will boost the sales of packaged foods.

  Recently the shares of packaging companies have witnessed great movement and still a lot of buying is going on at these higher levels (e.g. Mold Tek Packaging was trading in the 40s at FY14 end with an EPS of 8.03 the P/E was around 5.60 and now it has appreciated to 260 and trading at a P/E of 23) Similar is the case with TCPL Packaging and whole lot of other packaging sector stocks.

While packaging stocks are over the moon already India's largest and only listed player in it's packaging related industry "SHILP GRAVURES LTD" is trading at a P/E of under 6,
 Not to forget that SHILP's clientele includes one of India's largest FMCG player.
While gathering data, We found something common between MOLD-TEK Packaging, TCPL Packaging and SHILP GRAVURES LTD, That is Mr Anil Kumar Goel the seasoned value investor who got covered in the Business Standard and is often noticed along with Dolly Khanna in shareholding patterns of various companies, Mr Goel and his wife "Seema Goel" are holding 3.25% in SHILP, They also bought Mold-Tek in the past and booked extremely huge profits, Their success in value investing is not limited to the Packaging space they also have holding in many companies including "MM FORGINGS" and most of their holdings have shown capital multiplying returns. Mr & Mrs Goel have acquired the 3.25% stake in SHILP around 40-50 levels.

  With high entry barrier in the industry and being India's only listed player in this industry, SHILP is a compelling value pick, At current levels of 43 it is no where near where it should be trading at, Being a market leader and trading at a P/E of 6 does not make any sense and promoters have already noticed it, that's why they have increased their share holding by more than 1% (YOY) to 59.91%, If we even completly ignore the growth factor and assume that SHILP's topline will remain around 50s and the EPS will remain around 7 then also the stock deserves the valuation of 30 p/e because of the fact that it is the only directly listed company in this industry and is also the market leader, a 30 p/e will workout to a price of Rs 210 for the stock (388% price appreciation prospect) and if we consider the growth prospects already discussed above then it can give further returns.

Hope above inputs have made it clear that SHILP GRAVURES LTD is an excellent value pick and extremely undervalued rare gem.

Note: The volumes in SHILP are very thin and only those who are reading the blog live as soon as posted will get a chance to buy in the 40s, I personally will not mind buying this stock till the level of Rs 100 which leaves atleast 100% price appreciation prospect without over ambitious growth expectations, Though we always say one should not be chasing a stocks here we are clearly saying one can go for the chase.

  3. Regarding Mr. & Mrs. Goel share holding, in my view their entry price must have been below Rs. 30 as the share holding pattern as on Mar 14 shows that as on 31st March 2014 they both hold together 2 lacs shares. Correct me if i am wrong.

    1. This dip is purely on the back of manipulators, Those who bought on friday for trading have sold their positions today... So now only genuine investors like us are on board.

      This blog is only for genuine investors and traders should stay away.

    3. What is your problem buddy? Its a long-term pick, Not a short-term trading call.
      Please don't follow our blog if you are here for short-term gains.

      And note, Shilp is trading above reco. price so no timepass out here.

  26. dear ace, should i wait for a dip to enter shilp gravures?

    1. Promoters have bought in the 40-50 range... They have increased their stake from 58.54% in FY13 to 59.91% currently.

      I think we are getting it at around 52-53 today which is just 3 Rs premium to the upper range of promoter buying, there is no use of waiting for a small dip and missing out on a big rally.

  29. Aceinvestor sir,

    Dont you think the products of shilip are more of one time investments for its clients. The growth aspects seems muted in that case. Moreover it is not directly involved with the packaging , and rerating chances are not strong.

    Kindly share ur views.

    1. umang diaries is ordinary, trading at p/e of 17 while reserves are lesser than equity capital, the debt increasing and negative cash flows for FY14.

      haryana leather looks good, but no specific call on it.
