Investment rationale Gokul's past growth in sales and operating profit are lower than its peers such as K S Oils and Sanwaria Agro considering the period between FY05 and FY08 (based on annualised eight months ended November 2007 in case of Gokul).
Its operating margin and net margin of 4.4 per cent and 3.2 per cent, respectively is also much lower than K S Oils' around 11 per cent and 6 per cent, and Sanwaria's 8 per cent and 6 per cent, in FY08.
Ruchi Soya, with consolidated revenues of about Rs 11,656 crore in FY08, has even lower operating and net margin of about 3.5 per cent and 1 per cent respectively.
Thus, at the given price band, the valuation of Gokul at 5.2-6 times estimated earnings for FY08 (pre-issue equity) rightly reflects its fundamentals as compared to 21 times and 15 times in case of K S Oils and Sanwaria, respectively in FY08.
The company, which operates in a competitive industry, has lots more to prove and improve its financial performance in line with its peers. The issue is suitable for investors with an appetite for risk, while risk-averse investors are better-off looking at the existing companies in this sector.
