I have books on (old hindi) song lyrics...lots of Diwaans (compilations of urdu Ghazals) and of course some useful websites on lyrics do help a lot!
And as for presence of mind...an empty mind is a devil's workshop, isn't it?

Ya thanks Sandeep ji. Somewhere down the line, we were all expecting Yes Bank to go into Retail and I had made a wild guess in my mind that maybe Nucleus would be picked(bcoz if its niche specialization being into retail and loans), and more so bcoz Yes Bank didnt have any legacy issues and hence would pick up only the best software provider, rather than make a decision, in some way affected by its legacy computer systems. I didnt think it would be so soon though. Anyhow, this is good news. I however wonder if they took "Nucleus' new model of sharing a part of their loan portfolio instead of paying them a huge sum at the beginning". Yes Bank is an ideal candidate for this as Yes Bank is just getting started in Retail and if it does grow its loan clientle in a big way(which I hope), then Nucleus's own revenues would keep increasing, as Yes Bank grows.

http://www.theequitydesk.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=149&FID=30 - omshivaya jee, even indiabulls have some product from nucleus soft. They are not into core-banking unlike INFY and i-flex. It has some retail loan/wealth-builder software. It is gr8 news that YES bank has selected them.

Rumour has it that Nucleus could do an EPS of around 50 in FY08. The stock has still not been re-rated. It is hopefully a 40% grower for the next 5 years, going by what all I have heard and read and learnt about this firm. It still trades at a PE of around 13-14 FY08, currently. A PE of 20 would be reasonable and a rerating could take the PE upto 30 possibily in the future, who knows. Wild guesses! Maybe someday in the future that re-rating may happen, so medium to long-term investors still have a chance to get a good steady compounder in their portfolio.
However, I may be wrong, so do your own due diligence everyone before taking any action. Any price around 650-680 is a good place to get in, personally speaking...though I am no expert!
And lastly, thanks for all those kind words everyone.

Thanks Basant ji, for creating a new thread. Now, I can post any news and updates that I get on the intrenet, on what Nucleus is upto, right here. Thanks very much. I shall start rightaway with some recent interviews and others views on Nucleus. However, anyone reading this, please understand that this is not a "recommendation thread". It is only a "fyi"(for your information) thread.

9 stocks shine in brokerages' portfolio- January 07, 2007
Considering no one even talked about Nucleus much before this year-end(except RD ji maybe), this is a +ve surprise.
With the Sensex scaling new peaks and analysts betting that the benchmark index will touch the 15,000 or 16,000 mark this year, brokerage houses SBI Cap Securities, India Infoline, Emkay Share and Stock Brokers advise investors to watch out for nine stocks. |

Gujarat Ambuja Cement, Great Offshore, Novartis, Nagarjuna Construction, Indraprastha Gas, Mangalam Cement, NIIT Technologies, Nucleus Software and Garware Offshore are the companies that have become a hit with the broking firms for the new year. |
Parmar expects product company Nucleus Software’s sales to grow at 42 per cent and net profit at 47 per cent. At Rs 695, the scrip is available at 13.9 times FY08 estimated earnings.

Ok, just saw Nucleus' Vishnu ji's interview in Businessworld's latest issue!
Jist of the interview for me: Nucleus products currently deployed in 20 countries. Has orders already in hand to ensure presence in 80 countries by 2008. Finally, by next 5-10 years, vision is to deploy their product in every country in the world, that is Nucleus should have a *Nucleus presence in every country in the world in next 5-10 years
*FYI: Nucleus means core, just did a random check in thesaurus in MS-WORD

omshivaya, good to finally see a thread on nucleus. I have been on and off trading in this counter ever since RD first recomended it long back at Rs. 40 levels(pre-bonus). Obviously its a no-brainer that if i had held on, it would've been a 40 bagger by now! 
Anyways, my question to you this - between TECH MAHINDRA and Nucleus, which one is better, lets say for a 18-24 month perspective, and assuming one is planning to enter now(dosent hold anything currently). Or is it better to make a basket out of the two?

Tech. Mahindra is in a different league, it plays the letelcom vertical and its growth is going to be good(as per the buzz I am hearing). I dont follow it.
Nucleus you can definitely hold in your portfolio, but with a 3 year perspective, keeping an EPS of 35 for FY07 and an EPS of close to 50 for FY08. PE expectancy of 20(reasonable) to 25(maximum)is okay, for Trailing Twelve Months and not forward earnings.
Nucleus should be in the Top 10 picks of any "Growth portfolio". However, think of Nucleus as a steady compounder rather than an explosive growth. 40% CAGR for next 5 years is reasonable at these levels.
Rs. 650 to 680 I personally is a good entry area. Also, in case of market crash, Nucleus may fall similarly as any midcap would.
Tech. Mahindra is also good. If I were in your shoes, I would put 60% of the planned deployment in Nucleus and 40% in Tech. Mahindra. It is also possible that Tech. Mahindra may give higher CAGR than Nucleus for 1-2 years , but for 5-10 years I would choose Nucleus. This may be because I have researched on Nucleus and NOT Tech. Mahindra. Anyone following Tech. Mahindra, I would love to hear his view for Tech. Mahindra for next 5 years and their vision etc.
Hope this helps investor ji.

Thanks for the views omshivaya, i really appreciate it. What do you think is a good entry point in Tech Mah? Waiting for a correction seems to be futile as it never seems to happen, even yesterday when markets crashed it was holding very strongly.

Oh, I would ask Bubble ji in that case. I myself refer to him for entry points. He is good with fundamentals of course, but also has a good idea of entry points. Maybe you can PM him. I dont follow Tech. Mahindra, so would be futile commenting on the same. Good Luck sir.
I am sure you must be knowing this, but I dont wanna give any new member or any guest visiting this forum thw wrong idea, so would just like to add that: "Entry points are just an added cushion to a stock, which has to be preceded by strong research on the fundamentals of the company first. Entry points do not guarantee that the price wont fall substantially below that entry point, after one buys the stock the entry point. As mentioned earlier, it is just an added cushion, perspective, edge...whatever you wanna call it".
So that being said, Bubble ji still is the best FBC ("Fundamentals-Based" Chartist) in this forum, as opposed to TAUs

Uhmmm....well in that case, I shall post this message here to clarify things. In my view, a FBC would one who goes thru the fundamentals of the company first thoroughly and then uses Technical Tools as a decision-making tool for entry and exits. Since you mentioned you only use Technicals and price is all that matters to you, well then you wouldnt be an FBC. So I stand corrected.

A lot of midcap IT stocks like TACH MAHINDRA, TULIP IT, etc have been having a dream run lately.
Even 3I INFOTECH is up 12% today.

Om, just to remind you of a stmt from Basant somewhere else on this forum:
INFY was a 30 bagger after it became a 100 bagger.
So if you start booking profits just because it has doubled, how can even get a multibagger?  My own personal view is that the stock has just broken out of a long slumber, and next 12 months should see explosive growth.

You are so right guys. Just bcoz something has gone up doesnt mean it has to be sold, but a very small part can be sold depending upon the situation! And I would not only have a multibagger, but a fat multibagger in Nucleus investor ji do not worry please. I have taken some profits off, bcoz I am on a planning mode right now and am reallocating stuff from here and there so that I can accomodate some other "probable" multibagger(s).
This has nothing to do with doubling, but more to do with reallocating to possibly "higher growth" avenues.
This is not a general issue of always taking profits when something almost doubles, so do not make this a generalised discussion. If that were the case, I would have done that with Educomp sometime back. Though I do plan to take some profits off of Educomp too in near future, but it has to do more with reallocating to something else, rather than anything else. I dont like being rigid in both the cases:
1) "Do not sell just bcoz it has gone up"
2) "Sell because it has gone up a lot".
Each situation is a case-by-case.
I hardly took off 2%-3% off Nucleus and I am absolutely okay with it.
Of course, you all have the right to your opinion too...appreciate the enthusiasm very much guys! Keep it up and nice to know you guys are doing great in your 'folio too!

BTW, did u notice Tech Mahindra up to 1900+ i couldnt enter as it just didnt come down from 1600 levels ....so looks like another bus missed!

I would rather be in TCS than Tech. Mahindra. TCS is a master in all verticals whereas Mahindra is enjoying the Telecom vertical primarily. Anyhow, good luck to them. But for me, TCS brings that stability and relatively good growth. As for the multibaggers(maybe) I am trying to add, it shall not be anything outside of what TEDies already know of. Only that, the distribution should be more balanced now among the top 3-4 probable baggers. The risks would also become higher than before in case of a market crash, so the sword cuts both ways

I think I would deserve any congrats(if at all) only after its a 10-bagger and that too fast, not more than 5 years.
Anything less than that, then I made a mistake and I shall have to live with that mistake! Let's see how it turns out! Good luck to you too sir. Everyone missed you as you can see on TED.

Bcoz its doing good business simply speaking! And it shall move from the Tier-II IT companies to Tier-I. Re-rating, plus good orders coming in are the reasons and it surely deserves it! But it still is a kid compared to companies like TCS. Just getting a 1-billion US$ deal isnt enuff! If they get it in the BFSI or IT Infra space and that too from someone who is not related to the BT group, then I shall think of it in serious terms, else it's just another billion-dollar deal. Soon the Infys and TCS' would be getting billion dollar deals as a routine, as the IBMS and Accentures do today.

The details coming off this interview...
It seems to be more than 148 crores but not clear on the exact amount.
Nucleus Soft's deals add to Rs 300 cr |
Nucleus Software has bagged an order from ACOM of Japan. Vishnu R Dusad, the Managing Director of Nucleus Software Exports comments on the company.
Dusad says that this order is the biggest order that they have got so far. The order is expected to be executed over a period of two years with an annual technical support for another five years.
He also states that their order booking looks very robust.
Excerpts from CNBC-TV18's exclusive interview with Vishnu R Dusad:
Q: Can you take us through the size of the order and how does it compare with the other orders that you have got, is this the biggest order that you have got?
A: This is the biggest order that we have got so far, it is bigger than the last big order that we had won from General Motors Acceptance Corporation and bigger than our last year’s revenue of Rs 148 crore.
Q: How are margins likely to pan out in this order? Will they be better or will they be thinner than the kind of projects you do for Indian banks?
A: Clearly they will be better.
Q: Can you give us a figure? What are the normal margins you enjoy and how much better are they likely to be?
A: I would not be able to give you specific numbers but the normal margins that we have been enjoying are in the vicinity of 25-30%.
Q: How long will this order be executed in?
A: This would be executed over two years and subsequently there will be an annual technical support for another five years at least.
Q: What does it take your total orderbook size to?
A: The order-book size may cross the Rs 300 crore mark.
Q: Would this restrict you from bidding for any further orders because this is a substantially large order? So for the next two years when you will book for this order, would you still be bidding for further orders or would you just stick with this one?
A: Obviously, we will be bidding for many more orders.
Q: What is your order book looking like and how does it compare with a year-ago levels?
A: As I mentioned, it would be upwards of around Rs 300 crore and is further looking very promising and robust |

Very well done indeed Mr. Dusad, but I expect Vishnu jee to NOT STOP AT THIS! It's important to stay focused, so I would like to set therecord straight!
This order is NOT the largest order by any Indian software vendor...it is the largest order for Nucleus so far, bigger than the earlier large order by GMAC! What I think Vishnu jee meant was biggest order in Japan(maybe), but not overall!!! So need to set this straight!
But what is pretty interesting is that just this single order by ACOM is more than the entire revenue of Nucleus of last year. I expect more orders to follow suit...maybe gradually!
Vishnu jee, congrats again..and dont stop. And deep ji, thanks for the info. you posted.However, I have set the record straight above.
On mention of profit-booking deep ji, I think I have mentioned clearly my specific case and it needs no further explanation! For others' situations maybe, profit booking MAY NOT be such a good idea.

Yes, I read that too. It is there in my post above too. But does that mean to say that not one, not even I-Flex has ever bagged a such big order worldwide. That seems a bit stretched! That is what leads me to believe that Vishnu jee must have meant biggest order by any Indian product company in Japan.
So, better to be on the sidelines than overenthusiastic as per me. Let's see what the details turn out like.

Nucleus Software Exports today reported a 58 per cent rise in net profit after tax (pat) to Rs 13.94 crore in the third quarter this fiscal compared to Rs 8.82 crore for the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
Consolidated revenues for the quarter ending December 31, 2006 increased by 50.21 per cent to Rs 56.18 crore as against Rs 37.40 crore for the corresponding quarter of the previous year, a company statement to the NSE said.
"Our strong product growth along with continued product development and successful implementations has helped us sustain our position as one of the leaders in the domain," Nucleus Software Exports CEO Vishnu R Dusad said.
The company bagged large orders from alternate markets such as Japan, which strengthened its position, he said.
For the nine months ending December 31, 2006, consolidated revenues have increased by 51.97 per cent to Rs 161.03 crore as compared to Rs 105.96 crore for the corresponding nine months period in the previous fiscal.

SSKI Research report updates:
Nucleus Software Exports Cluster: Emerging Star Recommendation: Buy Price target: Rs898 Current market price: Rs809
Price target revised to Rs898
Result highlights
Nucleus Software Exports has announced lower-than-expected sequential growth in its revenues at 2% quarter on quarter (qoq) and 50.3% year on year (yoy) to Rs56.2 crore (against the expectations of Rs58.6 crore). The product revenues have grown at a robust rate of 12.8% sequential. However the revenues from the project and services business declined 9.3% sequentially and resulted in a lower-than-expected overall growth in the revenues during the third quarter. The operating profit margin (OPM) declined by 110 basis points sequentially to 27.9% during the quarter, largely due to the steep increase in the selling, general and administration expenses (SG&A) as a percentage of sales (up from 12.6% of the sales in Q2 to 15.7% in Q3). The huge jump in the SG&A expenses was driven by the additional cost incurred (on travel and other related expenses) in pursuing some of the large deals in the pipeline (including the recently bagged order from ACOM). Consequently, the earnings were largely flat at Rs13.9 crore on a sequential basis. However, the earnings grew at a robust rate of 58.1% on an annual basis. Notwithstanding the muted performance (sequentially) during the quarter, the company has shown an exponential growth in its order backlog that is likely to boost the overall revenue growth in the coming quarters. The pending order book jumped to Rs335 crore, up from Rs135 crore at the end of the previous quarter. The order backlog includes the multi-million multi-year order from ACOM, a leading consumer finance company in Japan. To factor in the impact of the huge fresh order intake, we are revising upwards the revenues and earnings estimates by 7% and 9% respectively, for FY2008. At the current market price the stock trades at 22.8x FY2007 and 16.5x FY2008 earning estimates. We maintain our Buy call on the stock with a one-year revised target price of Rs898 (15x its rolling four-quarter earnings.
My notes: SSKI should revise their earnings upgrade again before FY08 is over(my hunch, no confirmation.)

Vivek ji. I have no idea on any new order except the last ACOM(300 crore-2 year) deal. I was just speculating that there maybe a big order that is known to a few big boys.
But yes I can tell you this: Vishnu jee has promised to keep margins as much as now or even better. That's the beauty of product companies: high margin business, once the intial roll-out of the product has started.
From the time Nucleus was first recommened on this forum(not the first post on this thread), I think it has almost doubled.
Let's see what Vishnu jee comes up with for next few years.

It is because it is one line which gives our namaskars and salutations to the divine trinity.
OM = BRAHMA ji
SHIVAYA = SHIVA ji
Guess what NAMAH means?
NAMAH=VISHNU ji
So, I am already saluting all the three lovely individuals! That is why I also included JAI MAA, thus incorporating all forms(roops) of Shakti, including Maa Laxmi, Maa Kali, Maa Durga, Ma Saraswati, Maa Parvati and the list just goes on and on.

They are scaling up. They recently constructed a new property. Now, I learn that they have given order for construction of yet another new property to handle more employees, for handling the orders. So, they are definitely scaling up. Good start, let's see if they can consistently deliver high returns(higher than 40%).

Allright, now anyone thinking of Nucleus as an investment should read this(just got this off the latest conf. call of Nucleus). Here, Enam Sec. is asking the question from Mr. Vishnu Dusad:
Moderator
Thank you very much Sir. Next we have a question from Puranik from Enam Securities.
Puranik
Vishnu and Pramod congrats for the fantastic quarter. I am looking at the quarter not from earnings perspective; I think you have done a proud to this country by winning an order like this, it requires the great amount of commitment, patience and perseverance to win orders in the business you are in. We are extremely proud of you. You have extended the longevity of company by many decades not years, you have done a fantastic job of it, and the acronym your company stands, the affection, confidence and moderation, the company you have won the order that is affection, confidence, and moderation company that is ACOM, you deserve that kind of recognition on what you have done. Couple of things I would like to understand; one is in terms of your long-term role of how do you bill your business from a product service solution perspective. What are the key internal micro-macro target of how do we build a nonlinear business to reinforce the confidence of every community. Can give some idea on that and also the addressable market, one thing you need to educate the investors because I think you are part of a huge market, it is just a beginning, it is just a just a tip of ice berg, I think it is all great and I wish you all the very best.
Vishnu R. Dusad
Thank you very much Mr. Puranik for those extremely kind words. We do hope that we will be worthy of such high words that you have spoken about us. As regard the size of the market, I think it is really humongous, thank you for asking this question. Today, the global retail asset are at the end of 2005, the numbers about global retail asset are in the vicinity of $26 trillion, more than 50% of which are there are from America, and something like 80% out of these are mortgage assets. Now that being the size, I think the retail assets that our product today goes is in the vicinity of 60 to 65 billion, which essentially means quarter percent of the global retail assets. So from that I guess we can kind of have a feel of the size of the market, and we are continuously working on trying to address the entire market.
Puranik
Oh! That is the huge amount.
Vishnu R. Dusad
It is a huge amount.
Puranik
Huge amount, you can see a long-term visibility of 100 years in a business.
Puranik
Long sustainable corporation, excellent.
Vishnu R. Dusad
Yes
Puranik
Fantastic. All the very best to you Vishnu.
Vishnu R. Dusad
Thank you.
There was more to it, but just added the interesting part

Gem ji,
Look at your timeframe. If you are looking at next 3-6 months, forget about getting into any stock let alone Nucleus. But if you have a 1 year or longer time frame, then it is a good area to get in now or if lucky somewhere around 900.
Good luck.

Thanks Om Ji,
I generally sell 50% of my holding in any stock once they get double. I did the same in Praj and sold around 2,000 of them. Now currently holding 2,000 of Praj (Free). I generally sleep well as most of the stocks I hold are free. I have been doing this for the last 10 years. My weakness is that I am not able to understand IT stocks correctly. I missed the boat in INFY, TCS, Wipro and now beleive that Nucleus may the future IFLEX. The only IT stock which I hold is IFLEX which of course my 1000 shares are free by nature.
I would try to buy 100 shares of Nucleus with the time frame of 1-2 years.
Please share the info(if availiable) whether the management of Nucleus looks qualified for taking this company to higher levels? The key thing I beleive may be the successful delivery of these projects. I hope they deliver the project on time

First of all, I would like to clarify that I am a bit cautious investor. I like to know about a company in great detail before I invest. I did the same thing with Praj as when I visited my sister in Lincoln , NE I visited to see Praj's aquisition in Omaha , NE around 140 miles from where I was staying. I visited IFLEX in Mumbai to learn about them prior to me investing in that company.
Here are my findings:
Nucleus employees are called Nucleites. Nucleus has a good eating canteen inside but maybe there are strict eating hours. Currently Nucleus is complying with some standards and they have "Nucleus Software" stickers at the back of every car. Why I mentioned Parking problems is that -- there is already a parking place inside Nucleus but that may not be sufficient. Recently a car got stolen and people are very cautious. It took me 15 minutes to park my car. Imagine if an employee is working and the employee has some meeting, employee may get delayed wasting time. Next time I visit, I would put a suggestion to contruct Multi- level parking blocks.
Nucleus has a very good facility and that too in a Prime Location. There is a IT Hub park being developed next to nucleus. Grapecity , another IT company is opposite to Nucleus. DLF is making a IT park and CSE is planning to come in 20 acres of land opposite to nucleus. Nucleus has 10 acres of Land . They have a huge park in front of building. I beleive that is following "Vaastu" design.
I do not know much about there products, I will be researching those.
There I happened to talk with some of the employees. Vishnu ji's mother expired recently.
They are the 13th best employer as told to me by one of the employees. One negative thing which I found is that being aproduct company nucleus should retain old and experienced employees. There seems to be a high rate of resignations among technical employees. I beleive that this is the same story among all IT companies. To cut costs, nucleus employee lot of trainees or inexperienced people. They have brought some good folks in management also. I will try to find more during my next visit.
Good news -- I have decided to buy 100 shares of nucleus. Let me give it a chance. I will try to add more as an when my comfort level with Nucleus rises.

DLF is making a IT park and CSE is planning to come in 20 acres of land opposite to nucleus. Nucleus has 10 acres of Land . They have a huge park in front of building. I beleive that is following "Vaastu" design.
I do not know much about there products, I will be researching those.
There I happened to talk with some of the employees. Vishnu ji's mother expired recently.
They are the 13th best employer as told to me by one of the employees. One negative thing which I found is that being aproduct company nucleus should retain old and experienced employees. There seems to be a high rate of resignations among technical employees. I beleive that this is the same story among all IT companies. To cut costs, nucleus employee lot of trainees or inexperienced people. They have brought some good folks in management also. I will try to find more during my next visit.
Good news -- I have decided to buy 100 shares of nucleus. Let me give it a chance. I will try to add more as an when my comfort level with Nucleus rises. |
This is one of the better ways to get a feel of the company. ANalyst reports talk about EPS and PE which in any case is known and for the projections the less said the better. Keep it up and fill us in though I do not own any software company I am fascinated to see the way you have conducted this research.

Yes, really excellent Gem ji. Do remember to share everything here with the TEDdies. That way the research shall grow even stronger.
Next time you meet anyone from Nucleus, do try asking them about rumours or chances on any new deal from a client in the making. This can be best got from any employee!
Keep up the really good work.

from what i gather after reading todays chat nb-nucleus bull also known as rd or the mangalwar man sees revenues per qrt moving in the 80+ range and atotal revenue of 320 crs he also expects margins to be maintained at 30% so a bottomline fy 2008-09 at 100+ crs which gives us an eps of 62and at the current price of 898 a pe of 14.these figures are based after considering the acom and dcb orders. now whether this is compelling enough to make an investment is for each one to decide

Yes, I read that too. Suprise positives like some new deal will only add to the order book. It would be a suprise if Nucleus doesn't clinch one more semi-large order in the coming 12 months.
I have kept an EPS of 59 for now.

yes i do agree with yu new deals will come and will be larger than the small deals they were getting an year or so back how large we will have to see eps 60 or 59 makes no difference it is a very small variation the size of the deals is what is imperative.i also like tataelxsi just take a look at it it is at astage where growth is finally begining to happen

I have enuff exposure to IT-related stocks already, no more for me as of now.
As of now for me it is 59(based on current order book) but am optimistic that a good deal should come thru in next 12 months, thus taking the EPS further up.
I would keep a maximum of 25 PE for Nucleus. Let's see how it all turns out!
Just as a sidenote: 60 and 59 more or less the same, but 62 and 59 does make a difference for me as PE expands and over the long-term. Yes, of course deals are what is imperative.

Omji: 3 deals in a row in a span weeks suggests very positive momentum operationally. Hope the company is beefing up its management, operational and delivery capabilities.
If you remember our discussions earlier - about adding shares when you see this kind of operational outperformance - though the price is kind of running away.
Congratulations and success.
Satisfied co-investor in Nucleus.

Yes, good luck to you deep ji. But my investment is based on "just investment" and not on "a plethora of new deals". I obviously expected Nucleus to book these kind of deals, but what I am really wanting is another ACOM kind of deal.
I feel Nucleus is worthy of such ACOM kind of deals regularly(once in 6 months) and not just once in 1-2 years.
Let's wait and watch then.

Yes, you having fun Sanjay ji ? 
Anyhow, just for fun...the way Nucleus has closed today, tomorrow we may again have a upper-circuit hit. If not, then 5% has a 70%-30% chance.
Again, this is just for watching...nothing to trade or invest on. Just having phun!
