Normal phenomenon....the second flush and the rains would be hitting the markets in 3 months time. Its also the time when these companies make the 'hay'.

Hello,

I'm doing my research on Goodricke, and would like to have a look at the profiles (education, experience etc.) of A.N. Singh (CEO), D.P. Chakravarti (Sr. GM), and A. Sengupta (CFO). The information I've been able to find thus far has been sketchy at best, so if anyone has these profiles, I'd very much appreciate your posting them on this board or sending them to me at [email protected].

Thank you in advance.

Some things to be considered before buying Goodricke:
 
1.Production is on the decline steadily.
2.Management doesnt reply to good questions asked at the AGM( I have attended their last 2 AGMs).
3.Being a MNC affiliate, they arent too keen on expansion, and all talk about expansion seems to be just a lip-service.
4.The social costs at the gardens are more than the average norm.
 
But the advantages surely outweigh the negatives:
 
1.Price to book value multiple is below what it has been available at 'normally'.(My last acquisition price at 38-39 was the place where BV was almost to the Price, almost about 15-17 months back)
 
2.Earnings multiple is also below what it trades at, 'normally'.
 
3.Balance Sheet is in the best shape than what I have seen in the last 7 years.
 
4.Because of Point#3, expect the borrowings cost to be significantly lower than last year.
Jai Guru!!!

Would goodricke qualify as No 1 quality tea producer in India? Or would the tag go to macleod or someone else?
Stockmarket is a weird place. For every person who buys a stock there is a person who sells it and both think they are very smart.

I have one observation. While looking at financials, it seems that we have missed the bus and have to wait for more 3-4 years. I do not understand cyclicals, hence I could be wrong. Does anyone here follow tea companies?

Year        2009 to 1989
Profit 41.94/17.59/7.74/5.50/3.75/3.22/
-8.28/0.66/0.87/0.69/12.60/22.59/
11.14/3.28/1.75/3.74/
10.38/6.61/8.43/13.60/12.24/4.06

Hi Vivek,

what is your call on Duncans after the disposal of the fertilizer business?
should it now be treated as a tea company?
Your views as TED's Tea industry analyst/expert would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
