CHI Investments

Investment Rationale:

  • Holds investments worth Rs. 224.00 Cr as on 11th May, 2009 while it’s own market cap is just Rs. 28.50 Cr. The company is debt free. (Annexure 1)
  • Compared to other investment/holding companies, CHI is available at just 1/10th of the value of investments it holds while others trade at about 1/4th of the value of investments they hold. (Annexure 2)
  • The company majorly holds shares of CESC & KEC International, the stock should move at least linearly to the stock price movements of both the stocks and with better stock discovery, the discounting can reduce giving it a multi-bagger potential. Being in power sector and leaders in their business areas, both CESC & KEC International are expected to do well. (Read the latest Business Line : KEC targets to be a $ 2 billion company in 3-4 yrs.)
  • CHI Investment receives almost 4-5 Cr as dividend/interest income annually.

Risk: Being just a holding company, one has to remember that the investments might not be liquidated for lifetime.  Hence it is not right to think that the holding company can be valued equal to the value of investment it holds until and less value unlocking is possible. Having stated this risk, I feel 90% discount is on the much higher side.

  3. Neeraj,

    CHI receives almost 4-5 Cr as dividends. So valuing it at 10 times earnings the stock has 50-70% upside potential 😉 At Rs 50 you can sell half of your holding and retain the rest free of cost for possible multibagger returns 😀

  5. Amit,

    You must have yourself analysed that the proposed merger ratios are unjust to the shareholder of CHI Investments.

    Rather than joining on a wrong thing, I think we all must get together and protest. I’m doing my part.

    1. Hi Ankur,

      Sorry, we haven’t been tracking this company. Though based on the above article the stock may hold value and do well in short term, but I didn’t like the business they are present in.

      Regards,
