| HAIL Financials |
HAIL is a potential delisting candidate as under new norms every listed company should have at least 25% of public float and HAIL has only around 19% of public holding, while promoters of HAIL have more than 80% of shareholding and are reluctant to dilute their holding. Its peer companies are Havells India, ICSA India and diamond power.
Order book is around 1350 crore (CY 10) which comprises 70% domestic demand and 30% export demand, thus it is a company which shall soar with the India growth story.
HAIL shall benefit from Indian government’s spending on the infrastructure projects like rail, airports, mass transit system etc. In CY 10 company had 0 debt but in Q2 CY12 it had 20 crore of debt, which can be considered insignificant (just 4% of sales).
Concerns:
· Only significant concern is of industrial slowdown and reduced CAPEX activities, which could adversely affect the profitability of the company.
· Higher interest regime is also pernicious for the company.
Inference: long investors may buy this stock systematically on every fall. Present precarious global economic scenario shall be giving good entering opportunities.This stock is very illiquid and it may not offer any significant gains to short term investors besides the delisting gains (which are probable but not guaranteed).
