4. SIEL purchased the 14mt coal mines for a cost of Rs.35cr in Indonesia
5. For its expansion the company has capex plan of Rs. 300 crores for which it has recently issued GDR and last year the company has acquired New Tech Forge for Rs. 95 crores. For all this it has raised its authorized share capital from Rs.18cr to Rs.78cr. The company also got approval from its share holders to complete all of its planned expansions for up to Rs.1000cr.
6. After GDR issue the company equity raised from Rs.11cr to Rs.43cr so that it balances the debt/equity ratio. 1090780 GDRs, which can be converted in to 32723400 shares at a price of 9.17dollars. So, the price would be around Rs.14.10 which also enticing when viewed at the cmp of the stock.
7. The SIEL has small power plant working on the basis of the waste management with an installed capacity of 8MW. Now, it is planning to expand to 100MW in phases and in first phase it would be 30MW.
8. The company listed in the NSE on 1^st October 2010. It will enhance the liquidity of the stock for sure.
9. On 27th of May 2010 1 crore warrants were issued to non promoters at Rs 32 per share (Rs 10 face value + Rs 22 premium) So, we can consider that they believed the value of the share is at Rs.32/- after 18 months but now it is available at Rs.11/-
10.  The company has extended its financial year to 30^th june 2010 and the AGM would be in December and before that all the amalgamations and acquisitions will be completed.
11. Post the acquisitions and amalgamations company promoters’ stake is likely to increase substantially.

CONCERNS:

The promoters holding is quite low at this point of time and would be around 20% only. The company wants to go for very aggressive in-organic expansions, how it will pan-out is the big question for the share holders. The market cap and promoter stake of the company is low and previously Tata steel eyed this company to take over it. If any thing happens, this can become negative for the company in some instances.   

OUTLOOK:

The future story looks very promising if everything goes right for the company. So, we can expect Rs.500cr revenue in FY10-11, and Rs.900cr in FY11-12. The demand for the steel is also likely to increase in the upcoming years globally. Technically too the volumes suddenly increased from last one month with consolidating in the share price around the Rs.11/- which is the clear indication that some huge guys started accumulating this stock at the current levels. Considering all the events issues the stock has the potential to become a multi-bagger in the 18-24 months.

So, one can add this stock in their portfolio in “small quantities regularly” aiming for the long term.
