 More info coming in P2!

Well now talking about the financials, according to the available information, the stock is virtually debt-free and also the co has also delivered a profit of over 105% from the last 5years!!! promoter has increased their stake!! From 18.37% June2015 to 23.39% in this June qtr! Expecting the co to start paying dividend soon as they are increasing their profits year after year! Topline currently decreasing from last 2 qtrs due to BREXIT issues but the co. has increased its Topline over 500% in last 2 years, increasing the bottom line by more than 7 times in just 8qtrs! Even now it stands up by 6times comparing with last 10th qtr! 

the above figure were mentioned qtrly! Talking annually they have increased topline by 17times over last 10 years and bottomline around 8.5times! operating profit increases 5-fold... ROE has been increasing- last 10years it was6.71% 5years it was8.35% and 3years11.13%!! RESERVES multiplied 19-fold!!!!! PBT has grown 130% YoY

Now saying this, I am mentioning VEDAVAAG is a HIGH BETA STOCK, having a BETA of 1.22with sensex!! Its a stock which means HIGH RISK, HIGH RETURN! The co. has no pledged shares, but saying this I will mention as of now the stock is fairly valued or has a value of 32-34 max!! But considering the future growth and their expansions, its a sure-shot a minimum 2-bagger from CMP 29...

As mentioned in the previous post, the co. is planning to expand more and more! Recently they acquired Synaptic Systems Private Limited - a software product development and implementation services company with primary focus on Primary Agricultural Coop Societies. More info will be shared as and when time arrives!

UPDATE 24th July, 2018:- 
                    Vedavaag earlier rallied from 29 to 84 giving nearly 2bagger returns and is now back to pavilion... Scrip again available around 30, a value buy! The only issue that remains is low promoter holding! Overall a decent bet.Also Porinju is no longer holding vedavaag, he exited in Q2FY2017-18. A risky bet, but it's worth the risk!
