*Bonus declaration in ratio 9 shares for every 1 share held
There
is a CAGR Growth of 14% in revenue & 8% in PAT of BCCL from 2005 to 2016.
Thus based on this growth performance we can conclude that the overall
valuation of BCCL would have increased multifold since 2005. Media &
Entertainment companies are currently trading at an ID PE – 27.
** The Honorable High Court of Bombay vide its order dated
October 14, 2011 has sanctioned the scheme of Arrangement between the Company
and Bennett Property Holdings Company
Ltd. (BPHCL, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company up to the appointed date)
for Demerger of the Companies real estate business along with related assets
and liabilities to BPHCL with appointed date as April 01, 2011 and effective
date as January 01, 2012. The shareholders of the Company were issued 1 share
in BPHCL for every 6 shares held in the Company.
# HDFC Bank Ltd
is listed on BSE/NSE trading at Market Cap of Rs. 569,000+ Crs. It is a leading
private sector bank in India.
All the above mentioned invested companies (I.e PNB Finance,
Arth Udyog, etc.) hold direct and indirect holding in BCCL. Thus with rise in
overall valuation and performance of BCCL, one can gauge the similar rise in
NAV of each of these companies. This contributes to rise in NAV of BNL.
RECOMMENDATION
– “BUY”
Thus based on strong investment portfolio and
announcement of shift to dissemination board which might result in “Buy Back”
or “Listing” in near future, we recommend “BUY-
Bharat Nidhi Ltd.”
