Sunflag get easy access with trust to Daido's global relationship with leading automobile manufacturers such as Honda, Suzuki, Toyota in India. It has helped Sunflag to build and maintain its strong market position in automotive-grade micro-alloy steel business with wide product mix and established clientele base.

Alloy and special steel market are one of the fastest growing markets in India steered by the accelerated growth in automobile, infrastructure, defence and engineering  sector. Sunflag has large scale of operations with stable revenue outlook.

To meet the increasing demand and to keep-up with expanding special steels market, Sunflag is consistently developing new grades of steel and doing incremental investments for adding up new production capacities.

Auto industry is expected grow more than 7% and most of the world famous automobile companies are setting-up their manufacturing units in India. The cost of imported auto components is very high in India due to higher import duty. In current scenario these companies have to manufacture all critical components locally, it gives very good growth opportunity to special steel manufacturers to supply quality steel for these critical components.


Conclusion



Sunflag is very strong fundamental, asset rich, fast growing company in special steel segment. Sunflag mainly serving to the automobile, railways, defence, power and engineering sectors which are backbone of economy and growth possibilities are huge.


Market correction has given ideal investment chance to buy it 50% below from yearly peak. Sunflag Iron and Steel stock at cmp Rs 47 is one of the best investment opportunity in steel sector. It can be bought + / - 10% from cmp with 10 -20% of portfolio allocation.

But very few companies are having strong balance sheet in the steel sector and Sunflag is the one of the best company which has performed very well in last 2 - 3 years and it will continue to perform well in future .

  13. Good Afternoon Mam. Your view on Schneider electric automation india on the basis of Make in India & e-vehicle revolution of India ? Eager to know your valuable comments.

    1. Now almost every major automobile company have already e-vehicle but I am not tracking Schneider Electric.

      below reply is on e-vehicle comment on our way2moneymarket (it may be useful to some of our blog readers)

      I have also different view, which is going to happen in the future. In fact use of special steel will increase much more in the future.

      In future speed of every equipment, vehicles is going to increase and weight is going to reduce. But safety will come with strength of material and strength will come from replacing the old material with special alloy steel and new materials development.

      What is the special in bullet train ?

      It is the special steel which keep the structure stable at very high stress and at very high speed.

      How much we are spending to make one line to run the bullet train??

      For me railway sector alone gives multi- billion dollar opportunity for specialty steel manufacturer in India.

      Daido is having latest technology and expertise for special and alloying the steel for advance application. Just need to have a look on their website for detail product and technology.

      Japan is known for best steel quality in the world, Even one kilogram handmade Okinawa sward is costing more than five lakh rupees because it is made of special steel, it can cut anything which comes in its way.

      For example even now trains are running on electric but still all trains are made of traditional steel but in the future it will replaced with special and alloy steel to increase the durability and reduce the maintenance cost.

      What is the cost of fighter aircraft like F-16 or Rafael or submarine ?

      Aircraft and Submarines are made of which material or most of the critical components are made of which material?

      Surprisingly it is also a special steel,

      Nuclear power plants are also made of special steel. All electric vehicle frames, aircraft, goods vehicles, ships, military equipment, industrial machinery, Construction and earthmoving equipment etc I can say even every field of life will find the application of special steels with very high strength, durability and maintenance free.

      In the future infrastructure and housing steel will be also replaced with special steel to increase the lifespan and reduce the maintenance cost.

      Special steel is the future of engineering and new industrial application.

  28. Dear Madam, Thank you for suggesting a new stock. I’ve been following and investing in stocks from early 2017 with my own interest and invested almost 5 years of my saving into it. Since I came from middle class family, my parents/in-laws, relatives and friends always inject a second thought in investing in real estate, leveraging bank loans to buy properties and talk about how they have made money in real estate.

    Though I feel we can make more money in stocks than real estate if we invest in good stocks for long-term but sometimes my logical sense is getting shattered by others for sometime!!. Maybe because I’ve not enjoyed the returns in stocks yet.

    From your experience, do you think we need to diversify our investments also in real estate? Like buying apartments and plots?
    And, How to think long-term and be stable and calm in thoughts especially when you don't have experience in dealing with them.
    Thank you for guiding us madam and I’ve a high respect for your words.

    1. 1) it is not advisable to buy any property or make any investment in stock market with borrowed money on loan.

      2) Property rate already shoot up at very high level since last 7 years. It may not able to give good returns similar to the past.

      3) How much money required to buy a plot or apartment in a city? Is it easy for middle-class person to make such investment?

      Making an investment in property is different thing and buying a house to live in it is different thing. One good house in the city is a dream for average income person and generally end up with a whole life saving on it.


      In stock market, it can be started with small investment and slowly grown up much bigger than dream, without taking much risk and without any additional time on it.

      Most of the people have seen that several people earned from property in last 25 to 30 years, but equity investment is new trend among young generation in India , if we compare with countries like USA or China our participation is very small. So you have started investment at very right time, there is huge scope in equity and mutual funds in India, active investors will invest directly in equity and passive investors will invest through mutual funds in next 10 to 15 years. Investment & return from property will decline gradually.

    1. Some business failed due to external factors which are not in the control of company or promoter. Jet Air is best example, high fuel prices, low fare, high maintenance cost has brought it down. There is nothing wrong with Jet promoter Naresh Goyal he is the same person who has started run it successfully for 26 years.

OR as the growth of the orient electric is clear visible, is it better to ride the rally and hold it with out making booking profit to get more profit in future? I have 10% allocation on this.

    1. It is not necessary to invest in every stock, Investment should be done on the availability of fund and it is continuous process. It means that whenever you have some money and you don’t need it for next 3 -4 years then you can put that money in to the equity market.

    Could you please update on Kesoram tyre business demerger?
    Should i wait for the demerger to complete or sell and invest in sunflag iron as i dont have money. Please suggest.

    1. It is not necessary to invest in every stock.
      30% stop loss is good option if not willing to take higher risk in equity.
      Generally demerger process will take 12 to 18 month for completion from the date of announcement.

  43. Mam, in case of TPL, it is trading at 3.5 times lower than industry PE; currently there is no sign of stock recovering to general market valuation of 1/2 of industry PE for such companies, if i am right. Is there possibility (in terms of capacity utilization) of sudden and consistent rise in earning to be able to see rise in price of stock? also, sever market correction has happened due to selling of bridge India fund, is the only possibility is to similar FII/institutional buying in the stock to see earlier levels?

    I had invested 20% in this stock and worried to exit at 30% loss, now is not the right level to exit as well and scared to see the situation carried for another year or so...it will still be in loss. Not hesitant to hold for several years but at the same time missing opportunities to invest in other spaces...how should i deal with this situation? is the holding on to stock for 2-3 years going to be the best possible choice? It is very difficult to see that all profits in other spaces being eaten by single stock...i hope nothing has changed for a stock as a fundamental.

    Similar situation with Ganesh housing as well, invested 20% and is currently in loss.
    These two stocks have pulled entire profits in last 2-3 years in to negative return.

    I think we can at least be hopeful for rest of this year to see buying in mid/small caps.

    1. If you will analyse that it is not only the TPL but almost every plastic moulding stock has corrected severely in last one year. But definitely TPL will lead the rally off once they complete sector will reverse it’s trend.
      Hopefully within a year all small and mid cap stock will recover.

    2. Same is the case with me. Betted heavily on SPTL and TPL

    3. SPTL + TPL = 20% of my portfolio and they are both down 50%.

      But we need to stay in this for 2+ yrs for the entire SECTOR to be back up. Does not look like any problem with the companies itself. I know it is difficult looking at loss everyday...but we need to have conviction and stay with patience.

    2. There are other companies operating in this industry such as JSW steel ,Tata steel (there could be more) who also can utilise the opportunity. Does Sunflag hold an added advantage over Tata steel or JSW steel?

    1. Most of the steel companies are struggling with huge debt and high interest burden.

      In case of sunflag it is having very low debt, captive raw material linkage, wide customer base diversified portfolio, high-technology access so there are a lot of positive with that company will able to maintain good growth in the future, even 10% consistent growth can bring decent results.
