PARAS DEFENCE Broken & Sustained Above 133 Weeks HighPositive factors – The outlook will be revised to Stable if the company demonstrates a material improvement in its working capital cycle and liquidity position, along with improvement in earnings and scale of operations. Healthy order book provides medium-term revenue visibility – The company’s fresh order inflows over the past four fiscals remained adequate, with orders worth ~Rs. 621 crore added in the last 21 months ending December 31, 2023. The pending order book of Rs. 526.3 crore as on December 31, 2023 (OB/OI ratio of 2.4 times of the OI in FY2023) provides medium-term revenue visibility. Comfortable capital structure and healthy coverage indicators – The company’s capital structure remains comfortable with TOL/TNW of 0.3 times as on September 30, 2023, supported by equity infusion of Rs. 162.3 crore during FY2021-FY2022 and low debt levels. The interest coverage stood at 12.2 times in 9M FY2024 due to the limited dependence on external borrowings to fund its working capital. Going forward, ICRA expects the coverage indicators to remain comfortable, benefitting from the scale-up in operations, given the strong order pipeline. Extensive experience of management team – PDSTL’s promoters have more than three decades of experience in designing, developing and manufacturing a wide range of engineering products and solutions for the defence and space sector in the domain of optics, heavy engineering and electronics. Its long presence in the defence and space sector has helped to establish strong relationships with its customers as well as suppliers. It has developed a strong management and execution team comprising several ex-employees of BEL and DRDO, among others. High working capital intensity due to elongated receivables cycle – The business is working capital intensive with NWC/OI of 88.3% and 114.8% in FY2023 and H1 FY2024, respectively, owing to the high inventory holding period and long receivables cycle. The inventory levels are high because of additional stocking of critical raw materials to avoid any disruption in the delivery schedules and high work-in-progress due to elongated manufacturing cycle. PDSTL has been partly managing its working capital cycle by stretching its trade payables by more than three months as it has a longstanding relationship with most of its suppliers and availing mobilisation advance for part orders. Going forward, the company’s ability to alleviate its working capital intensity while scaling up its revenues and improving its operating margins will be the key rating monitorable. Moderate scale of operations – Though the company reported a robust YoY revenue growth of 21% and 10% in FY2023 and 9M FY2024, respectively, supported by healthy order book and the timely execution of orders, the scale of operations still remains moderate. Given the Government’s thrust on ‘Make in India’ in the defence sector, PDSTL has been mainly catering to domestic demand (~84% of OI contributed by domestic orders in FY2023). Driven by the healthy order book status, ICRA expects the company to sustain its revenue growth in FY2024 and FY2025. High customer concentration risk, though largely mitigated by reputed customer base and repeat orders – The company faces client concentration risk with top three clients contributing 46% to the total order book as on December 31, 2023 and top five clients accounting for 51% of the revenue in FY2023. The client profile mostly comprises government organisations with repeat orders received over the years, largely mitigating the counterparty credit risk. A major part of PDSTL’s clientele included reputed government organisations, namely Laboratory for Electro-Optics Systems (a unit of ISRO), BEL, Instruments Research and Development Establishment (a unit of DRDO) and private companies like RRP S4E Innovation Private Limited and Unifab Engineering Project Private Limited. The company has long standing relationships with most of its clientele. PDSTL also exports to companies based in Israel, Singapore and USA.

Moderate profitability albeit moderation in scale of operations PIL’s Total operating income (TOI) declined by 35% y-o-y to Rs. 184.11 crores as against Rs.285.40 crore in FY22. The decline was on account of decrease in quartz sales due to levying of anti-dumping duty in July 2022 by U.S. Department of Commerce and no sales from trading of iron ore in FY23. The anti-dumping duty was subsequently reversed in January 2023. In 9MFY24, PIL achieved sales of Rs. 134.93 crores. PBILDT margin of PIL moderated by 322 bps to 7.55% in FY23 as against 10.46% in FY22 on account of higher raw material cost as well as lower absorption of overhead costs.

Comfortable capital structure albeit moderate debt coverage indicators The capital structure of PIL improved with overall gearing of 0.43x as on FY23 end (1.25x in FY22). Improvement in overall gearing was on account of successful completion of rights issue of Rs.47.53 crore in February 2023 which resulted in augmentation of networth base as well as reduction in o/s debt with repayment of USL from directors/ subsidiaries and repayment of working capital borrowings. The debt coverage indicators however continued to remain moderate in FY23 due to lower profitability with PBILDT interest coverage of 1.72x (4.50x in FY22) and total debt/ GCA of 5.53x (6.20x in FY22)

#SOLARA Looking Good for Long-Term Holding around 1 YearStrengths: Established market position in key APIs, along with strong customer and supplier relationships: Solara has a strong portfolio of APIs in key therapeutic segments, with expertise in anthelmintic, anti-malaria, anti-infective and non-steroidal anti- inflammatory. Furthermore, it has been increasing its focus on the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory segment by adding capacity and working on other therapeutic segments. Solara has a diversified customer base, with more exposure to regulated markets. Its longstanding presence in the industry has helped Solara build healthy relationships with customers and suppliers. Moderate financial risk profile: Solara's financial risk profile is moderate marked by comfortable capital structure, albeit constrained by expected weakening of debt protection metrics. Gearing remained healthy at less than 1 time as on March 31, 2023, while networth was robust at Rs 1083.01 crore. However, networth and gearing are expected to deteriorate to Rs 835.98 crore and 1.09 times, respectively, as on March 31, 2024 led by net loss owing to the fire incident. Debt protection metrics, likely to be negative in fiscal 2024, are expected to improve in fiscals 2025 and 2026. Improvement in financial risk profile would remain a key monitorable. Weaknesses: Exposure to risks relating to strict regulations: Most of the products manufactured by Solara face increased inspections and regulatory actions by authorities, such as the US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA). Additionally, production of a few products involves waste discharge, which needs to be treated in effluent treatment plants (ETPs). Thus, Solara needs to invest continuously to upgrade ETPs and bring efficiency in the process to reduce waste discharge. Large working capital requirements: Working capital requirements are sizeable as reflected in significant receivables and inventory of around 142 days and 156 days, respectively, as on March 31, 2023 and is estimated to be over 120 days each for fiscal 2024. CRISIL Ratings expects working capital requirements to gradually improve over the medium term with an increase in revenue contribution from the new plant. Correction in working capital requirements that shall aid liquidity shall be a key monitorable. Volatility in operating profitability: Operating profitability fluctuated between 23.78% and 9.3% in the last 3-5 fiscal and in the current fiscal the company is making further losses due to the fire accident. Going forward, the ability of the company to demonstrate sustained improvement in operating margins will be a key sensitivity factor.

#HAL just Broken and Closed Above its Previous All Time High Company has reduced debt. Company is almost debt free. Company has delivered good profit growth of 23.9% CAGR over last 5 years Company has a good return on equity (ROE) track record: 3 Years ROE 26.7% Company has been maintaining a healthy dividend payout of 29.6% Company's working capital requirements have reduced from 98.4 days to 38.2 days Strong order book providing healthy revenue visibility HAL's order book remained healthy at ₹84,814 crore as on December 31, 2023 majorly contributed by manufacturing of various models of helicopters and aircraft of around 56,569 crore to be executed over the next five to six years. Major orders in the manufacturing segment pertains to supply of 83 Light Combat Aircraft-Mk1A version (LCA), 70 HTT-40, 6 LCA 10C/FOC, 4 Dornier apart from various aerospace structures for PSLV and GSLV. The ROH order book remained healthy at 28,277 crore and is expected to remain robust in the near to medium term as HAL undertakes the repair and maintenance work of aircraft manufactured by it for its entire life as well as for aircraft manufactured by others for which it has built infrastructure across the country. Furthermore, there remains visibility of future orders with strong order pipeline wherein orders for procurement of new platforms viz. Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH), Light Utility Helicopter (LUH), Additional Su-30, AL31 FP Engines and RD-33 Engines and mid-life upgrade of D0-228 Aircraft aggregating to 55,000 crore are in the advance stage of conclusion and are anticipated to be received within next three to siz months. In addition, orders for procurement of additional 97 Nos of LCA, 156 Nos of Light Combat Helicopter (LCH), 60 Nos Utility Helicopter-Maritime (UHM) including Performance Based Logistics (PBL) Contract, among others aggregating to 158,000 crore have been approved by the Defence Acquisition Council and the orders against the same are anticipated within next 18-24 months. Given the significantly long tenure of its contracts, HAL enters into variable price contracts with its customers, Indian Airforce, Indian Army and Indian Navy, wherein the future escalation is built into the prices excluding forex fluctuation on procurement. The forex fluctuations are paid on an actual basis by the customers. This protects its margins from forex and raw material price escalation to a large extent. However, profitability may get impacted due to time or cost overrun in case there is execution delays at HAL's end. Strong financial risk profile marked by healthy profitability and cash accruals and continued improvement in its collection period HAL continues to have a sizeable scale of operations and the TOI grew y-o-y by 8% to 26,397 crore in FY23 majorly on the back of increase in revenue from repairs and maintenance services. The PBILDT margin stood healthy at 25.68% in FY23. Income tax refund of 1193 crore and ₹973 crore further supported profitability in FY22 and FY23 respectively. The company earned gross cash accruals (GCA) of ₹7,000 crore in FY23 as against 5,634 crore in FY22. Its debt coverage indicators remain strong due to low reliance on external borrowings. The revenue contribution from manufacturing activities declined in FY22 and FY23 y-o-y, as majority of the manufacturing orders were completed, and the new contracts were under manufacturing and in development phase and delivery of the same is expected to be booked in FY25 onwards. Accordingly, its income is likely to get a fillip from FY25 onwards once deliveries start for 83 LCA Mk1A in a staggered manner. In 9MFY24, HAL registered TOI of ₹15,612 crore and profit after tax (PAT) of ₹3,303 crore as against TOI of ₹14,433 crore and PAT of ₹2,970 crore registered in 9MFY23. CARE Ratings expects the profitability and debt coverage indicators to remain healthy, going forward. The total receivables of HAL continued to remain below ₹5000 crore as on balance sheet date for past two years ended FY23 as it had realised substantial payment from government in FY22. The collection period has improved from 135 days in FY21 to 64 days in FY23. HAL also receives advances from its customers against the contracts which constitutes a stable source of funding its working capital requirement. The advances stood robust at 28,981 crore as on March 31, 2023 which further increased to *32,588 crore as on December 31, 2023. Timely realisation of dues and increase in advances has resulted in continued low reliance on debt to fund its working capital requirement. The same resulted in the overall gearing ratio of almost nil as on March 31, 2023. The company has strongly articulated that going forward HAL's debt level is expected to remain low on the back of sustaining its improved collection period.

#DLINKINDIA is Near to Break Previous All Time High Company has reduced debt. Company is almost debt free. Company has delivered good profit growth of 28.0% CAGR over last 5 years Company has been maintaining a healthy dividend payout of 39.8% Strengths: Established market position and strong distribution network: D-Link is the market leader in switches and wireless local area network (WLAN) products, with a significant market share. In fiscal 2019, the company introduced a series of high-end products for its enterprise business, including unmanaged long-term power over ethernet (PoE)/PoE plus switches; new generation layer 3 stackable managed switches with advance hardware and software enhancements for better performance, flexibility and ease of management; and industrial grade switches. D-Link has invested in state-of-the-art support infrastructure for both consumers and enterprises, which includes 10 D-Link-owned service centres with more than 50 experts in tier 1 cities, over 23 partner service centres with more than 40 experts in tier 2 / tier 3 cities, partner collection points in more than 105 cities and logistical support in over 190 cities. D-Link Technical Support Centres (DTSC) are manned by over 30 highly skilled engineers providing L1 to L3 support for all retail and enterprise customers. Healthy financial risk profile: Networth was Rs 363 crore as on March 31, 2023, and is expected to increase over the medium term because of steady accretion to reserves and absence of debt repayment. Return on capital employed improved to 36% in fiscal 2023 as profitability increased. In the absence of any debt-funded capex, the financial risk profile is expected to remain healthy over the medium term. Weaknesses: Exposure to intense competition and risks inherent in the networking industry: D-Link mainly operates in the home and small and medium enterprise segments of the networking industry, where profitability is lower than that in the institutional sales segment. The latter is dominated by Cisco India and other new entrants. Profitability in the retail segment is constrained by intense competition and commoditised products. Susceptibility to volatility in input price and currency: Copper, the key input for manufacturing cables is an open market commodity traded globally on exchanges, leading to volatility in its prices. Furthermore, fluctuations in currency also impact profitability, as the company imports about 30% of its traded products. Complete and immediate passing on of cost increases is difficult given the competitive pressure. The company experiences lag of 45-60 days in passing on price hikes. Hence, the operating margin will remain susceptible to fluctuations in raw material prices and currency. D-Link hedges currency exposure up to 70% of the total exposure by entering forward contracts. Liquidity: Adequate Cash accrual, expected at Rs 65-75 crore in fiscals 2024 and 2025, will support liquidity in the absence of any capex or debt obligation. Unutilised bank limit of Rs 10 crore will be adequate to fund the company’s fixed expenses. Cash surplus is expected to remain healthy over the medium term.

#GOACARBON Company has reduced debt. Company has a good return on equity (ROE) track record: 3 Years ROE 35.2% Extensive experience, reputed clientele and established t rack record of operations in the CPC segment GCL is a part of Dempo Group, which was established in 1941. The group has diversified operations with a presence in Iron Ore mining and exports, Construction, Publishing, Ship Building, Travel and Trade, among others. GCL has more than five decades of track record in the production of CPC and hence has an established market position amongst the leading producers of CPC in India. The chairman of the company, Mr. Shrinivas Dempo has an extensive experience of over three decades in the industry. GCL caters to reputed companies among the Aluminium Industry, Graphite Industry and Steel Industry which includes Hindalco Industries Limited (HIL), Vedanta Aluminium Limited (VAL), The Kerala Minerals and Metals Limited (KMML), Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL) to name a few. GCL has also healthy relations developed over a decade with the various global raw material suppliers such as Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, Oxbow Carbon & Minerals LLC, Mitsubishi Corporation Limited among others. Acuité believes that the established position in the industry and healthy relations with both customers as well as suppliers will help the company to maintain a stable business profile in the CPC segment. Improvement in business risk profile The business risk profile of the company witnessed improvement reflected by growth in revenues during FY2023 and 9MFY2024. The revenue from operations of GCL improved to Rs. 1364.36 Cr. in FY2023 against Rs. 766.12 Cr. in FY2022. Further, the revenues during 9MFY2024 stood in similar range at Rs. 606.42 Cr. The surge in the demand of aluminium while tightening of its supply marked by geo-political issues and consequent sanctions on Russia, which contributes almost 6 percent of the global aluminium supply, has resulted in an implicit effect on the pricing of CPC. The average selling price of the CPC during FY20-21 stood at around Rs. 22,000 per metric tonne which grew to Rs. 42,000 per metric tonne in FY21-22, while as on 9MFY23 the average selling price stood as high as Rs.77,000 per metric tonne. Acuité believes that GCL’s operating performance is susceptible to the changes in pricing of CPC and the same will remain critical for its future growth.

Company's working capital requirements have reduced from 58.6 days to 46.1 days Strengths: Diversified business presence: The company’s focus on diversification into newer segments such as palm oil, crop protection, dairy and poultry over the past 7-8 fiscals in order to lower its concentration in the animal feed business (revenue contribution down to around 49% for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 from 80% in fiscal 2012) supports its overall business risk profile and provides cushion against slowdown in any business segment. In the first nine months of fiscal 2024, overall revenue saw modest growth of 2% year-on-year, largely on account of healthy volume growth in most of the business segments, apart from the business under the subsidiary, Astec Lifesciences, which faced competitive pressures for its key enterprise products. The volume growth was offset by negative or modest expansion in realisations, especially in the palm oil, poultry and animal feed segments, leading to a muted revenue growth. Operating margin, however, improved on a year-on-year basis, to 7.7% for the first nine months of fiscal 2024, as against 5.7% for fiscal 2023, backed by lower input prices in dairy and poultry segments and higher operating levels in the animal feed and crop protection segments. The improvement in operating margin was the highest in crop protection segment, supported by strong volumes and realisations in the in-licensed product portfolio, apart from the dairy segment where operating margin improved substantially, on the back of lower milk procurement prices and operating efficiency, from operating losses seen last year. On the other hand, operating margin declined in the Astec Lifesciences segment, as it faced continued price erosion and subdued demand for its key enterprise product, despite robust performance by its contract manufacturing segment. Dominant position in the domestic animal feed and palm oil segments: GAL enjoys a dominant position in the domestic organised animal feed industry with presence across various sub-categories such as cattle, broiler, layer, fish, shrimp and other feeds. The company's efforts are driven by research and development to achieve cost leadership and competitiveness, which have supported its volume growth. The segment continued to see traction across sub-segments, especially in cattle feed and aqua feed, during the first nine months of fiscal 2024. Being the second largest consumer of palm oil in the world, India’s demand for domestic palm oil is expected to remain robust. The segment registered compounded annual growth rate of 16% over the eight fiscals through 2023, with healthy operating margin of above 19% over the period. Strong volume growth expected over the medium term, along with the longer shelf-life volumes coming from company’s newly set up oil refinery, would help keep operating margins healthy. Strong financial risk profile: Financial risk profile remains strong as reflected in gearing of 0.48 time as on December 31, 2023 and interest coverage of 7.55 times in the first nine months of fiscal 2023, versus 0.44 times and 5.62 times, respectively, as on December 31, 2022. Debt levels declined slightly to Rs 1,203 crore as on December 31, 2023 from Rs 1,321 crore as on March 31, 2023. Debt levels are expected to remain range-bound over the medium term on the back of strong cash accruals from the business, despite the capital expenditure (capex) plan and working capital requirements, because of which the overall financial risk profile would remain comfortable. Strong financial flexibility from being part of the Godrej group: GAL enjoys strong financial flexibility being part of the Godrej group and has the ability to raise debt at competitive rates and on short notice. It is able to directly derive implicit benefits being part of the Godrej group and without a formal arrangement of support with the parent, group companies or promoters.

XAUUSD Long, Inflation Correlation With The DollarDear Ziilllaatraders, We could see inflation numbers coming out of the PCE price index. These numbers were lower than the previous numbers. When inflation numbers trend lower, it can lead to a bearish sentiment for the Dollar and a bullish outlook for gold. The relationship between lower inflation and the movement of these assets can be explained by the following factors: Monetary Policy and Interest Rates: Lower inflation rates may prompt central banks, like the Federal Reserve in the United States, to adopt a dovish monetary policy stance. In response to subdued inflation, central banks are more likely to keep interest rates low or even implement rate cuts to stimulate economic growth. A dovish monetary policy typically results in a weaker DXY as lower interest rates reduce the currency's yield attractiveness for investors. Currency Depreciation: Lower inflation can erode the purchasing power of a currency, leading to depreciation relative to other currencies. In the case of the dollar, if inflation remains subdued, the value of the dollar may decline, making it less valuable in the foreign exchange market. This depreciation can drive a bearish trend for the Dollar. Safe-Haven Demand for Gold: Gold is often considered a safe-haven asset, particularly during times of economic uncertainty and low inflation. When inflation is low, investors may become concerned about the potential erosion of the value of paper currencies and seek a hedge against currency devaluation. As a result, demand for gold as a store of value and an inflation hedge increases, leading to a bullish trend in the price of gold. Real Interest Rates: Lower inflation can also impact real interest rates, which are nominal interest rates adjusted for inflation. When inflation is low, real interest rates tend to be higher, making non-yielding assets like gold more attractive to investors seeking positive real returns. This shift in interest can contribute to a bullish gold market. Conclusion: The correlation between lower inflation numbers and a bearish Dollar, as well as a bullish gold market, is driven by the impact on monetary policy, currency depreciation, and the increased demand for gold as a safe-haven asset and inflation hedge. Traders and investors should closely monitor inflation data, central bank policies, and overall market sentiment to gauge the potential movements of the Dollar and gold. As always, it's important to use proper risk management as I always tell you people. Feel free to ask any questions. Greetings, Ziilllaatrades

Fertilizer Industry As An Alternative S&P 500Greetings. S&P 500 Technical Analysis From a technical point of view, S&P 500 continues to move in wave 5 of diagonal A. Due to lower inflation in the US, there is a high probability that the Fed will slow down the rate hike and, as a result, investors will start buying assets with a higher level of risk. However, historically, after the Fed started to lower the interest rate, the price of the S&P 500 corrected by 30-50% before continuing its upward movement. The fertilizer industry as an alternative to the S&P 500 The fertilizer industry continues to be one of the most attractive in the stock market. In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, which led to massive disruption in global commodity markets, including fertilizers. Before this event, the balance between fertilizer consumption and supply was determined by two factors, namely production incentives and also price competitiveness. I estimate that in the coming quarters, the balance between supply and demand for one of the most important commodities will be determined by the ability of farmers to buy fertilizer that has become very expensive. The increase in the price of fertilizers led to a significant increase in the margins of companies such as Nutrien, The Mosaic Company, and CF Industries Holdings, traded on the New York Stock Exchange, and the subsequent increase in dividend payments. Source: IFA, IFDC, market news sources Several reasons led to a sharp rise in the price of potash, phosphorus, and nitrogen fertilizers. The first and main reason is the sanctions against two key producing countries, namely Russia and Belarus. According to an IFA study, Russia accounts for about 25% of the world's supply of nitrogen fertilizers needed to increase crop yields. In addition, the share of Belarus and Russia in the sales of potash fertilizers is about 41%, which puts these countries in the top 3 in terms of production volumes. Source: IFA Fertilizer prices continue to be significantly higher than in previous years. For example, the price of potassium chloride amounted to $562.5 per ton in the 3rd quarter of 2022, which is 161.9% more than in the 3rd quarter of 2021. Source: Author's elaboration based on data from the World Bank Group In addition, the military conflict in Eastern Europe continues to be in an active phase and, as a result sanctions from Russia and Belarus will not soon be withdrawn. As a result, I believe that fertilizer stocks are still attractive assets for long-term investors and can become an alternative to investing in companies from the S&P 500.
