Sharon Bio-Medicine completed its 25 years, with a commendable year on year growth for over 12 years.

POSITIVES - MULTIBAGGER POTENTIAL   
1. Recently the company received GMP approval from UKMHRA for the expanded area of its Formulation and Tablets plant in Selaqui, Uttarakhand.  
2. During the last financial year, the company invested 85 crores for doubling of the capacity of their formulation plant.    
3. The company is striving for operational excellence through Asset productivity, capital effectiveness and operations risk management.  
4. Sharon Bio-med has a wide variety of formulations, and most of them are essential drugs. The whole list can be seen via the link below

5. Along with the UKMHRA approval, the company has also applied for USFDA approval. These both approvals will open the largest markets for the company's products and hence pave the way for future growth and profitability.     

NEGATIVES - POSSIBLE RISKS         
1. Company had a very bad last quarter with huge losses. Was it a one off or will the pain continue for some more time ?
2. Company has working capital issues and large debts. How long will it take to resolve these ?  

INTERESTING INFO  
1. In March 2015, a allotment of 67,15,400 equity shares of rs 2 each at a premium of 48 rs was done to the promoters. This indicates the value that they perceive of their company.  
2. Due to the challenging financial situation, the management of the company decided to go for debt restructuring in Mar 2015, and the same was accepted by their bankers in April 2015. This quick acceptance indicates the bankers confidence.  
3. During the recent share price collapse, one of the reason was dumping of pledged shares. Incidentally only one promoter had their shares pledged. Rest all the shares are un-encumbered (not pledged)
4. The company has a separate CRO division called SA-FORD for toxicology and has a GLP certified laboratory in Taloja, Navi Mumbai.

MY TAKE      
Sharon Bio is a good example of the profound Warren Buffett statement, "Buy when others are fearful, and Sell when others are greedy".  

Here is a company that has grown consistently for over 15 years, has plants in multiple locations, has a successful research division, wide range of products , a revenue of over 1000 crores, a track record and a proven management team. Available at approx 200 crores.  

Last few months have been bad for the company with one blow after another. A fire in one of their plants, a quarterly loss for the first time in many years, share price collapse from approx 90 rs to approx 15 rs, pledged shares dumped, working capital issues, etc   

How ever, none of these problems are neither insurmountable nor permanent. The management has the capability to bring the company back on tracks. They have taken certain timely measures and concrete steps such as introducing new capital via issue of warrants to promoters, major capacity expansions, CDR approvals from the bankers, plant approval from EGMP, etc  

If one wishes to benefit from potential multibaggers, the right time to buy stock of a company is when things are going wrong; how ever, only as long as one is convinced that course correction can happen as a result of remedial measures. Such opportunites yield superlative profits.  

A potential multibagger!!

Important Note: Potential multibaggers are those stocks which have potential to give 200 - 1000% profits. Obviously such returns take time. Probably 2 - 3 years or more. Short term volatility is the reality of the stock market and that will always happen. Short term movements(upside and downside) are impossible to predict. Only invest funds that you will not need for the next 3 - 4 years. As long as you buy a stock for the right reason, and are convinced about the future prospects of the company, there is no need to worry if the share price goes down and stays down for a period of time after you buy; provided you have followed the cardinal stock market mantra BUY LOW (AND SELL HIGH).    

Very important note: The objective of this blog is to share knowledge and info about multibagger ideas/opportunities. Neither is this trading website nor an analyst website nor a Buy/Sell call website. For stock market success, always do your home work, own analysis and make your own decisions.
