Sebi expects us to disclose only on public recommendations.

We own leaders from the high growth sectors with 75% of stocks
and also the portfolio regularly hitting an ‘all time high’. Don’t
want a pandora box of public opinion because we are sure of
our style & stocks - both.

However, there is no bar on our speculating over the names.

Basant has earlier revealed that D-Mart, alias Avenue Supermart, is his “top

Avenue Supermart has been a stunning performer with a YoY return of 72%.

The YTD return is 35%.

Basant has been periodically indicating his bullishness for the stock.

QUALITY helps you in bad times even as KACHRA sucks. The

Private Banks

Basant has been sensibly bullish about private banks on the basis that they
are snatching market share from junkyard PSU Banks.

He has formulated the theory that assuming a 15% industry credit growth
and that the market share of the private banks increases from 50% to 70%,
it means that private banks will show a growth rate of 27% CAGR.

Basant Maheshwari
@BMTheEquityDesk

Reading between the lines from this @udaykotak interview. A

30:70 ratio between private and public moving to a 50:50 ratio in
5 years assuming a 15% industry credit growth means a 27%
CAGR for private financiers. Smaller companies in niche
segments can grow faster !

From this, we can safely assume that Basant has either HDFC Bank and/or
Kotak Bank in his portfolio and/or their smaller counterparts being RBL
Bank, AU Small Finance Bank, Bandhan Bank etc.

It is worth recalling at this stage that Raamdeo Agrawal has recommended

at the Sohn India 2018 conference that we buy RBL Bank on the logic that it
can blossom into a magnificent 10-bagger if all goes as per plan.

Buy High RoE stocks with predictable growth

prospects
Prima facie, Basant’s investment strategy is quite simple to understand.

He has advised that we buy companies with high RoE and with a long
predictable growth runway ahead of them.

These stocks are usually easy to spot because they are already leaders in
the stock market and are quoting at “All time highs”.

“We own leaders from the high growth sectors with 75% of stocks and also
the portfolio regularly hitting an ‘all time high’,” Basant said in the tweet
quoted above.

“My objective is to search for high growth companies with predictability,

surety and certainty,” he added.

@BMTheEquityDesk

Replying to @BMTheEquityDesk
There are several high RoE companies. A high RoE is generally
an outcome of brands - pricing power - profit margins and if you
can outsource your process the RoE jumps up even more. Read
about Du-Pont analysis and it’s decomposition in ‘The
Thoughtful Investor’’.

With high margin and low capex the profit margin and asset
turnover goes up. But companies are like kangaroos they like to
sit on cash. However, as the foreign parents have no avenue to
take money off they force distribution of dividends which
removes the cash off balance sheet.

@BMTheEquityDesk

Replying to @BMTheEquityDesk
As the companies become cash light the RoE stays at elevated
levels. Generally, RoE gets depressed with companies having
cash on balance sheet because cash earns only FD rates (pre-
tax). If cash is paid off as dividends it also implies that capex
requirement or growth is low.

But high RoE with low growth will lead to stagnation

Basant also made it clear that mere high RoE is not enough if it is not
accompanied with high growth.

He cited the example of HUL, which has an exceptional RoE of 77x but a
poor growth rate of 4%, as a stock which is not investment worthy.

As there is no “predictability, surety and certainty” of HUL’s (high) growth, it

is unlikely to stay in the fancy of the market for long, Basant opined.

Basant Maheshwari
@BMTheEquityDesk

No recommendation. I wouldn’t invest because my objective is

to search for high growth companies with predictability, surety
and certainty and the moment you have these three attributes in
a stock markets start to discount ahead. More the predictability
longer the discounting.

Anand @ananddesh9
@BMTheEquityDesk I have question regarding HUL. Would any
investor think to invest in this stock as ROE is exceptional 77 with
sales growth only 4% and CAGR 13%. Have you seen this kind of
ROE before in any stock? Would you think it will sustain without sales
and profit growth?

Of course, it is a fact that HUL has been a stellar performer in the recent
past with a 24-month gain of 88% and a 12-month gain of 54%.

India is a land of contradictions.The ever boring HUL’s of the

world multiplied you wealth nearly 6 times in the last 8 years.
Where as, the much popular real estate-infra ones’ destroyed
wealth to tune of 80%. And still HUL is called ‘a defensive’ and

Avoid ‘kachra’ & ‘chakri’ stocks like the plague

Basant also reiterated his earlier stern warning that we should stay afar
from alleged ‘kachra’ and ‘chakri’ stocks.

@BMTheEquityDesk

We don’t participate in kachra, chakri & crap not because we

don’t like making money but because we don’t want to lose it ‘all’
back. Our style is different. Like fire, markets demand respect.
We need fire to cook food but if used carelessly it also burns
the whole house down !

Don’t obsess over the price while buying quality

companies
Basant advised that we should not pass over high quality stocks on the
basis that the asking price is too high.

“Mehenga roye ek bar Sasta (kachra) roye bar bar” he said, implying that it
is better to buy a high-quality stock at nose-bleed valuations rather than a
junkyard stock at dirt-cheap valuations.

Basant Maheshwari
@BMTheEquityDesk

I know what you’re saying.But without recommendations be

mindful that ‘Mehenga roye ek bar Sasta (kachra) roye bar
bar’.But it’s not easy & takes a lot of effort for individual investors
to read/understand the ‘fine print’ on what a kachra portfolio has/
has not done. Be careful.

In fact, the 7500% gain delivered by Page Industries despite its “expensive”
tag proves Basant’s point.

In contrast, the junkyard PSU Banks, which were always “cheap”, are
notorious for the colossal wealth destruction caused to investors.

Which are the high RoE stocks with high predictable

growth rates?
According to my rudimentary research, there are a few stocks which fulfil
the requirement of high RoE and high growth.

(i) Rane (Madras)

Rane (Madras) has the following salient features according to screener.in.

the Pharma sector:

Conclusion
Inspired by Basant Maheshwari’s stellar performance, we will have to take a
vow to never invest in ‘kachra’ and ‘chakri’ stocks again. At the same time,
we will have launch a manhunt for stocks with high RoE and high predictable
growth prospects and tuck into them ASAP!
