VAKRANGEE LTD - RESULTS FOR Q3 FY 2017-18 - Q E DECEMBER 2017

VAKRANGEE LTD

RESULTS FOR Q3 FY 2017-18
Q E DECEMBER 2017


VAKRANGEE  has produced very good results for Q3 ending December 2017.I have analyzed the results earlier in another Blog post. Thereafter, the share price was moving in tandem with the results. However, following a false Press report that the company was involved in some price/volume manipulations on the stock market, that SEBI is investigating into these matters,and  also following a share BUY by Vakrangee on the PC Jewellers Ltd company, Vakrangee came under a severe cloud and market started entertaining suspicions about the company operations.

 Following these suspicions, investors started deserting the company on fears of a deep slump in its market price. Thus, the company's share price fell to Rs.190 from a high of over Rs.500.

 The Company's MD, Shri Dinesh Nandwana came on various TV Channels and clarified on all points of suspicions in the market adequately. He has answered most aspects of criticism satisfactorily. On share Buys of PC Jewellers etc in the Market, the company has undertaken to reverse the same by selling back.

The company has built up huge cash reserves and is a DEBT FREE COMPANY. The company has a ASSET-LIGHT FRANCHISEE MODEL which requires very little capital expenditure and the company has enough cash reserves to meet any capital expenditure.

The company also announced a capital allocation policy for adequate dividend distribution and also a share buy-back, apart from capital expenditure on R&D etc. These measures, when implemented actually, are sure to restore INVESTOR CONFIDENCE again. Unless, there is some hidden news, the explanations of the company are definitely satisfactory and meet most of the criticism levelled against the company.

Yet, even after these TV Channel explanations in person by the MD, the share price of Vakrangee is yet to recover from the LOWS it has sunk into - so far.

It is however, my feeling that, slowly but surely, the company's share price will recover back to more normal levels. 

The company has a Huge and impressive Expansion program on hand for each quarter, which is expected to raise its Top Line and Bottom Line both impressively in the coming quarters.

The what-if analysis below is purely my forecast and is not a recommendation to BUY / SELL / HOLD RECOMMENDATION for others.

As already said, the what-if analysis is constructed by me to estimate the future within reasonable assumptions. It is definitely not a recommendation for BUY/SEL/Hold for other investors.
