Future Prospects
Piramal Glass plans to raise upto Rs 200 crore through rights issues for further expansion of its business.
Piramal Glass has reported excellent results. the Q4 results, the top-line, on consolidated as well as on standalone basis, grew by about 15%. But, on a standalone basis, the bottom-line grew by about 535%. That means the Indian operations have been doing very well.
Even if we take the consolidated operations for Q4, the bottom-line grew by about 200%. That is the reason that the company or the board has increased the dividend also for this year to 35%, last year it was at 10%.
If you see by the overall performance for FY11, top-line is close to about Rs 1,250 crore with profit after tax (PAT) of about Rs 93 crore and cash profit of about Rs 200 crore which resulted into an EPS of about Rs 11.50 and cash EPS of close to about Rs 24.
Their US and Sri Lanka operations have been doing well. Domestic operations have performed better since last year. Going forward, I won’t be surprised to see EPS of close to Rs 16 to Rs 18 for FY12. Going by these, I think share available on a forward earning PE multiple of less than eight can give you a 30% return from these levels.
