Just wanted to point out that Tata Tea is in the final stages of divesting their plantation business. Thus, their business will no longer be cyclical.

Tata Tea is now a funds company as well as a beverage company......at the consolidated level, they are almost deb-free at the net debt-level. Also, some of its associates are doing very well like rallis India and Tata Coffee.

If we remove around Rs.1500 cr as gain from Glaceau sale the consolidated net profit becomes Zero.

Interesting........!!!!
 
However, Page 87 of the Annual report of the company for the Year ended shows a PAT of 1905.88 crores. On that the company has provided for Minority Interest to the tune of 392.20 crores and accounted for Share of Minority Interest as 28.87 crores.
 
So, the consolidated profit is 1905.88+28.87-392.20, which is why we are seeing a consolidated PAT of 1542.55 crores.
 
Also, in the P/L, you see two items of expenditure , namely Interest amounting to 60.86 crores and Interest on loans for acquisition amounting to 160.50 crores, both of which will see a dramatic change this year. Thats why I believe, Tata Tea shall be treated as funds company along with just a consumer branded beverage company.

Coca Cola the largest beverage company is traded at 4 times sales in 2008.

 
Do we value branded companies like Tata Tea also the same way?
 
If yes. Then Tata Tea could be valued at 16,000 cr.
 
A good value buy.
 
Nestle is also value at 4 times sales.
 
Do clarify on this...
 
Tata Tea has a mission to grow 5 times in 5 years

Coca Cola has unparalled moat in its brand.

Nestle is product basket + associated brands.

Tata tea does not deserve 4 times sales.

Tata Tea has a global array of brands......plus also not, that this company is the holding company of Tata Coffee and as a result, 8 o'clock coffee. now, its also gradually piling up Mount everest Mineral water. This company also has a sizeable stake in rallis india.
 
Tata Tea is a very stable play. thats why, whenever a mayhem occurs, this stock remains insulated relatively. Its a buy on declines, sort of a stock.
 
Also, to consider is what Lever plans to do with its tea businesses. Somehow I get an inkling, that Unilever may walk out in case they get a right price. I sense it because they seem to be quite less aggressive with their ads in the electronic media. Otherwise there is little dubt about Unilever's brand strength in the form of Brooke bond, Lipton, Taj etc......
