Past will not be repeated in future but peaks and troughs do revert to mean, period and order of those peaks, troughs and mean days is the one i.e. not predictable- riser3 valuations

Wendt back to near all time high. It hardly corrected when small cap index was down 30%. With FY12 EPS of 115-120, BV of 300+ and Auto Capex boom led Sales growth of min 40% YoY for next 2-3 years looks like this Murugappa company could become one of the top performer stock in C 2011.

Wendt hit 20% upper circuit @ 1440. Grindwell (235) and Carborundum (262) both just 6% away from their respective all time highs.
Disc: I hold Wendt India and Grindwell as of writting so I am biased.

Wendt  - 1945 - up 20% - completely shocked looking at its speed. June Q1Fy12 EPS at 25.5. Time to sell above 2000?
 
Disc: I hold.

My two cents worth:

Abrasives are used in any kind of manufacturing facility where a smooth finish is a desired result for the product or the component. It is also used for deburring, denibbing and defuzzing.

Allied industries are Refractories and Ceramics. CUMI, GN, Orient and Wendt either have their own divisions for refractories and ceramics or supply abrasive products to these industries.

There are 4 prominent players in India alongwith the cheaper Chinese imports and other firms having in-house grinding facilities.

Operating margins tend to be in the 18%-25% range for all of these except Wendt which has a more limited product range catering to a more high end segment.

CUMI at 2690crs Mcap is the largest player with GN being 2nd. CUMI has a significant international presence with factories and subsidaries in Asia, Australia, Africa, Europe and USA. I

GN is debt free, its largest stake holder is Saint Gobain which is a world leader in abrasives from France.

Wendt is JV between CUMI and a German firm.

Orient's prospects post demerger of its profitable high margin refractory operations are unknown to me.

Overall I like the prospects of an industry that has a fairly high entry barrier (capital, expertise), has widespread application across industries and the largest company is valued less than a billion dollars.

My number one pick is GN for its valuation and it being debt free.

One question:

Abrasive business is inevitable and demand is less or more regular. But isn't growth depends on the growth of their end customers? If economy as a whole does very well then Abrasives will also do good and vice-verca. This makes abrasives bit cyclical in nature.

Players can increase the prices but capacity expansion is controlled by end user segments so it may not make one very rich. Anyway it is reflected in their valuation too.
