Deepak Fertilizer & Petrochemicals - Invest

December 30th, 2008

Deepak Fertilizer and Petrochemicals, is mainly into production of chemicals which accounts for 66% of its revenues and 87% of its net profits and manufacturing of fertilizers accounting 31.8% of revenues and 11% of Net Profit. The company has recently forayed in the realty sector with the setup of a specialty Mall in Pune, which also generated almost 4 crores of revenues in Sep 08 quarter.

The company in the last quarter has announced a net profit increase of 91% amounting to 41.81 crores and jump of 65% in revenues to 369 crores. The company during the last financial year had touched 1000 crores of revenue for the year and is well on track this year to surpass it by crossing 700 crores of revenue in the first half. The EPS declared for the half year is 9.83 compared to 11.37 declared for FY08.

The company is currently trading at 5 times its last year earnings. At the 52 Week high, the valuation had jumped to 15 times on 6-Jan-2008. With the companies diversification into realty providing it a steady stream of revenue and hopes of a brighter future for its fertilizer business and the drop in prices of raw materials especially Naphtha gives a brighter cost future for the company. The only risk being the downturn in the economy leading to depression in prices and sales. But we expect the company to be better placed to face the uncertain future with its past execution strength, strong management and well planned diversification. The valuation at 4 times is quite attractive considering the high dividend yield of 4%.

Technicals
The company made a 52 week high of 178 on 2-Jan-2008 and a 52 Week low of 40 on 27-Oct-2008. Its all time high was 178 made on 2-Jan-2008. The price has fallen sharply since and is now taking support at 50 levels. It is forming an inverted head and shoulder pattern with potential upside target of 69 in the short term . Once it breaks above the 69 resistance it can move up to 90. On the downside, the stop loss should be placed at 47 which can be broken if there is fresh panic in the markets.
