Wow. Great Sir . I was struggling to find this kind of information. Every one was claiming they are speciality chemicals. also learned sub categories and type of it . I learned by investing and waiting. then realised by margins they are commodities. Also. could not participate in some real speciality. would you DM with link to ppt. ❤
All of your efforts from selection of topic to background research to presentation immensely help people like us in grasping idea about investing. Deep gratitude for that. What about making a video about infrastructure sector?
Awesome I appreciate your hard work Shankar Ji.. I am waiting for Evergreen Sector Complete analysis i.e FMCG Please do it waiting from long time... Thanks
Glad to hear that, Paritosh ji. I'm happy you found this informative. Personally, these research videos help me in improving my own framework and I can now apply what is learnt in one sector on another. For instance, the specialty chemicals space on a broad frame is going the way of IT and pharma.
Great video. Specialty chemical industry is so vast, complex and diversified, that it becomes very difficult to focus on select few, hence i was very confused and didn't want to miss on any, so i ivested in pretty much all the good ones with double digit growth. Maybe, your coming relevant video will guideme to cut down and narrow down.thanks.
Bro knows his audience. We have been told to be sticking to our own 'circle of competence'. But if at all, we know even this much coupled with our basic finance knowledge, we can gain a few bounties in a short run (at-least). Please accept our honest gratitude for this hard work put together and made available for us for free.. As usual, I would say it again to be a 'paid level' content.
Thanks for the great content with solid set of data/research, Shankar sir.. Appreciating your hard work/dedication.. We learnt the Chemical Industries basics very well, thanks to you
Enjoyed this video, it contributed to my comprehension of this industry which is an integral part of modern living. Bringing out this video at this time when the shares of most of the companies are available at a discount is opportune . Looking forward to part two of this video eagerly! Thanks once again!
Hi Shankar, I am a religious follower of your channel. One request can you please make one video on protential impact of rising AI on the stock market, managed funds and also one informative video on what happened in Japan stock market 30 years ago and fears of that happening in other markets specially in India.
@@shankarnath However just a piece of advice, you could get into the cost drivers in the segment, thats important given the current inflationary situation. worldwide. I believe most of the raw materials for these industries , are dependent on imports , hence depends on large extent to upcoming 2024 elections and also the current FTAs.
Thank you sir for your excellent analysis of speciality chemicals growth and future. The impact of which in various sectors of industries very useful information to the investors of stocks.
Excellent one. Please make more videos in future for each sub specialization within the chemical sector. This is one sector difficult to understand the fundamentals and dynamics of for a common person.
@@shankarnath I am invested in Chemcon speciality chemicals. Not asking for stock price related opinion but would you check the segment fundamentals / potential and share your opinion please
Ver informative, I really appreciate your efforts, sir. Sir, any reason for not including UPL and Coromandel in the discussion under Chemical Companies?
A very detailed sectoral analysis which is as usual superb, sir. Now, if you make a comparative video between jyoti resin and pidilite, it will be great as I think pidilite has become so much overpriced.
I would highly appreciate if you could do analysis on srf, deepak nitrite, and clean science as I have more weightage in mentioned stocks and planned to add more in clean science
Hi Shankar, Trust this message finds you in good health. As usual you are superb in all your videos. I have been watching your videos since the time you have started creating. I have learnt a lot from them. I have small query / dilemma, looking for some help from you on it. Following your videos I have created the screener for magic formula, coffee can, peter lynch, canslim and etc. Now that I have a list of businesses how do i shortlist around 10 to 15 from each individual screener. My idea is to do a basket investment. Recently, i shortlisted 8 stocks in logistics sectors and applied quite a few parameters I have learnt from you and then put equal amount of money in all. So how do i go about say in peter lynch method. For magic, I have ranked them so it has some basis to select top 10 or 15. how do i do it for other methods?
Hello Subhrajit ji, thanks for your kind appreciation and I'm glad my work is helping you with your investing decisions. You raise a very good point: 1. Personally, I am not a big fan of using a screener to make investing decisions. A screener's job is to screen/filter and not pick stocks, so I'll request you to go deeper into every company 2. I'm also not a fan of picking a few stocks from every strategy assuming that this will make a superstar portfolio. It's a bit like saying, there are many sports I like so I'll learn backhand in tennis, bowling in cricket and goal-keeping in football and this should make me a great athlete. Instead I'll prefer specializing in one sport. In an investing context and in my opinion, the focus should be on picking the strategy that resonates more and has a valuation comfort with it. For instance, you might like monopolies then use 10 bagger, for small cap growth use Peter Lynch, for large & mid cap value it's magic formula, for passive diversified use momentum+value etc. The idea is to pick the strategy & play first .. and then the stocks. Hope this helps.
Hi@@shankarnath thanks for your quick revert. Actually I was working on your suggestions and it is quite helpful but two things i have reservations about are (1) developing a bias towards stocks whose businesses you know well e.g. zomato or tata motors and (2) how do i include a little bit of technical analysis in my stock picking. By the way, I went against your advice / suggestion and picked top 10 ranked stocks from coffee can, peter lynch and magic and put 20K each. I have ranked based on RoC and Earnings Yield. I have promised myself that I will hold them for 6 months and I will let you know the results, although you have mentioned that Pter Lynch method asks you to evaluate every quarter. This would be really good fun.
Hi Shankar. Have you too notice that big multibaggers 100x in 10 years types stock companies many of them are from Chemical sector in India. Whereas in the US those disproportionate returns have been in tech sector. Why is it so? Also do you think tech or EMS companies being that type of companies for 2020s decade for outsize returns?
Hi. I believe every economy goes through decadal shifts. In the US, it wasn't always tech. For many years, companies like GE (manufacturing), Walmart (retail), American Express (banking) have had their times before the technology companies cut through. The same is the case with India and from having zero IT companies when the Nifty was first formed in 1995, we've seen decadal moves for IT, pharma, private banking and now chemical companies.
Hearing and reading lot about US Commercial Real Estate issue which is likely in 2025. Its said that there could be a worst crash in Stock Market. Is this news / theory is true. Since US is a mother market for India, will it heavily impact on Indian Equity Investment Market. Generally, markets recover over 1-2 years, can we assume the same for 2025. I have 50 : 50 asset allocation between Equity and Fixed Income and requirements are 15 Yrs away, kindly suggest strategy to get protected from possible Big Crash in 2025. Concern raises since Mr Warren Buffet had also spoken about this. Should equity portfolio be fully liquidated and reinvested after 2025. Kindly suggest
Considerable points--
1) End industry application ( Dye and pigment industry have lower margin whereas fluorine, beauty care and beverage company may have higher margin)
2) High entry barriers, so slight change of price does not compel end industry to switch to another company as it takes rigorous testing for selecting a chemical partner
3) Huge capex and how it is done (either be done by taking debt or by measures of internal accrual; as taking more debt may be somewhat danger)
4) R&D spending tracking, specially how ( if they generate more compound out of single chemistry or they become thin by spreading themselves into different chemistry)
5) Financial ratio like sales and profit growth more than 18%, operating profit margin which should be somewhat stable and not declining quarterly (which may be an indication that the product that is sold has been commiditized and not speciality anymore) and at last debt along with debt equity ratio
