GNFC - A small peek into Valuations and Results before studying the Business

Posted Best ever Results - It was a clear Bumper

An EPS of 35 in a Quarter with a Margin of 28% and Sales at 2400 crores

Trades at a P/E of 6 ... Yes you heard me right .. A P/E of 6 ..
Well before concluding what is cheap is cheap for a reason do hear me

I question valuations a lot and always trust my charts and price more . More often i think market values stocks better than me ..

Reserves of 7200 Crores on Books with almost Zero Debt . ( I'm not Kidding)
The FII have kicked their Stake up from 14% to 17% in a Jiffy .

The Public Stake is Decreasing . A Killer combination for a stock to start it's Upward Journey .

Yes GNFC is a cyclical .. But the Antidumping duty makes it a Partial Cyclical Story and infact more of a Structural
The diversification of GNFC into many streams and chemicals rather than concentrating its dependance on just 1-2 chemicals makes this a great name .

When one product dominates a business ( That too in a Cyclical ) it's not a great place to put your feet in ..
Getting bored cuz I'm talking about just the Business of GNFC

Chalo .. Let's dive into some Technicals ..

A Power Earnings Gap up on Results and holding the Gap well even in this Poor Markets

Strong Relative strength

Excellent Price action breaking the 2018 High .
Now what makes GNFC different from the Ex-GNFC in 2018

It was clearly a cyclical business . Still it is but not so cyclical like the past . The FII know this and is jumping in Quickly

Selling everything around the market but Buying GNFC .. Looks unique and cool
2018 EPS at 50 and 2022 EPS above 100

Price is exactly where it was in 2018 peak ..

Wow . The market is unfair at times but with fertilizer prices going over the moon and Fertilizer stocks doing crazy moves in US . GNFC could soon pick up and do a great show with Momentum
How to manage Risk ..

According to me the Stock is ready for a Blasting move with regards to technicals if the PEG is held .

If the stock doesnot fall back into the Earnings Gap , it's all set for a Blast .

So my Stop Loss is the Power Earnings Gap ( 490 SL)

Let's move on
Let's talk about business .

Dont fret because i'm too optimistic about valuations

I have mentioned this name at 400 as a great investment and invested too . Do read my Tweet about GNFC

GNFC is a chemical major in love with a Fertilizer Minor
I'm present in your Day to Day life
TDI - Prices are steadily in Rise and Antidumping duty is a Cherry on the Cake

Aniline is the next engine in GNFC
The other engines for GNFC are as follows

Formic Acid
Technical Grade Urea
Acetic Acid
Ethyl acetate

Now how does being diversified help?
Lets look
Most of these chemicals are commodity chemicals and hence the profit is based on the Spreads internationally

If you deal in more chemicals if the spread of one chemicals is down 5-10Rs the other could gain the same and compensate the net EBIDTA
Dependence on single chem is Bad
"Among the very few Public Sector companies with no Debt "

Give them an applause

Best Result among peers and least valued company

Things will change . The volume Charts and RS say that as of now ..
Ok let's wrap it up now . Hey after analysing for this long you have a Stop Loss . Dont you feel silly

This is a question i frequently get

For me Risk first Reward later . All this research is done to find the reward .

But Risk first . @markminervini

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.


In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
