SHALIMAR PAINTS | BSE CODE: 509874 | Volume: 19000 | CMP: INR 128  

Shalimar Paints is the third largest player in the high performance coatings, apart from having a significant presence in packaging coatings. It derives 65 per cent of its revenues from decorative paints and the balance of 35 per cent from industrial paints. Its targets are primarily the mid-tier markets from where it derives around 80 per cent of its revenues.

On the financial front, the company has posted healthy results for Q3FY13. During Q3FY13, its sales grew by 14.4 per cent on a YoY basis to Rs 143.2 crore. But the bottomline jumped by 23.7 per cent on a YoY basis to Rs 4.7 crore.

It has established a strong distribution network comprising of 54 branches/depots that service more than 7000 dealers with a strong presence in rural markets.

LUPIN | BSE CODE: 500257 | Volume: 47000 | CMP: INR 595

Lupin’s topline grew by 38 per cent on a YoY basis for Q3FY13 to Rs 2466 crore. The EBITDA grew to Rs 570 crore, taking the margins to 23.1 per cent, witnessing an improvement of 200 basis points on a YoY basis. The net profit stood at Rs 299 crore for Q3FY13, witnessing a growth of almost 20 per cent on a YoY basis. The revenue growth was led by a 68 per cent increase in its US sales and a 48 per cent increase in sales from Japan. The performance was praiseworthy as considering the Rs 35 crore of forex loss, which was offset to some extent by Rs 23 crore of forex gain.

The company in the last quarter has been able to garner better market share in key products in the US markets. A better margin and revenue outlook in the US, Japan and India will be the main trigger for the stock going forward. One can look at the scrip for medium-term perspective.
