Stock Pick - Value Stock
Kale Consultants
This stock is what you call a low downside, high upside stock. Kale consultants has been in the news recently with all the rumors of it being acquired soon (first by wipro, NTT and then by InterGlobe or another European company)
The rumors have since been denied by promoters (check bse company annoncements) but the recent slump sale of one of its loss making divisions could possibly be cleanup before the actual sale.
Kale had net earnings of 26 crores (EPS of 18.1) last year with 40 Cr EBITDA and a healthy growth year over year. It has about 40 Cr of cash and no debt. At current market cap of about 200 Cr it has a PE of 7.6 and EV/EBITDA of 4.2 (versus average PE & EV/EBITDA of about 10 and 5.5 respectively for the smaller listed IT companies) which gives it an upside of 30-40% even if there is no control premium or deal does not happen
The slump sale of its logistics division gives it about 6-7 Cr of profit and therefore about 60 cr additional equity value. for a total possible upside of 60-70%
