PSL Limited: Inefficient Management

BSE 526801; Sell
 
After a recent inter-action with analysts, the consensus view is the management at PSL Limited, is inefficient, backward looking and unable to foresee problems.
This is apparent from Q4 FY09 numbers:

While Revenues showed a quantum jump, net margins declined to roughly 1 per cent making building pipes another trading type of a business with no downward protection for any business exigencies or shaky trading conditions.

The management cast the blame for a poor Q4 on currency losses, the INR Vs Dollar cross and huge rise in Steel costs, suggesting that it built steel sheet inventories at the highest possible point in time.

The management has been unable to spell a clear vision for its Sharjah operations where orders are soft, as also the newly commissioned pipe mill in the USA. Plans for China are unknown as yet.

The corporate carries a sizeable debt of Rs 1000 crore on a Equity of Rs 42 crore.

The Debt is now to be swapped with Equity through a Rs 300 crore QIP which could raise Equity to over Rs 50 crore, another massive dilution.

If current trends persist, PSL FY10 PAT could fall to Rs 60 crore on an even higher Revenue base, with EPS post dilution dropping down to Rs 10-12 from the present Rs 20 per share.

The share can easily halve down from here over the next six months, and investors should seek better stocks to invest in. A clear thumbs down for the management.

(Some forward looking statements on projections, estimates, expectations & outlook are included to enable a better comprehension of the Company prospects. Actual results may, however, differ materially from those stated on account of factors such as changes in government regulations, tax regimes, economic developments within India and the countries within which the Company conducts its business, exchange rate and interest rate movements, impact of competing products and their pricing, product demand and supply constraints.)
