Alfred Herbert India Limited is an Indian Kolkata-based holding company. It is a part of the late R.S.Lodha group

Currently quoting @ 180

current m/cap is about 14 cr ( equity : 77 lakhs)

1) zero debt

2) cash + MF + equity investments of around 25 cr +

3) 100% subsidiary called Alfred herbert Ltd is into Tyre Building machines, tyre curing presses doing well with a segment profitability of 2.15 cr on revenue of 21 cr in 2009-10. the Factory is located at whitefied in Banglaore opp ITPL ( international tech park)

4) another 100% subsidiary Herbert Holdings has some land/buildings/warehouse in kolkatta

i expect 2010-11 EPS to double to about Rs.59 on back of increased orders for tyre / rubber manufacturing /processing machineries for its 100% subisidiary. My price expectation is between 350-450 within a 12 month period.

it seems a safe vehicle to board in the current market conditions.

p.s: i'm invested

If you buy for a non-value reason, you will end up selling for a non-value reason.

Own this stock for some time.

Some more points:

  1. The last time the company revalued its land holdings was 1984. I don't have access to the AR currently but the land itself is many crores.
  2. They have an office in Ballard Estate. Would be interesting to know if they own the office space.

The stock is a value buy.

But the problem is motivation of promoters - are they in line with those of investors?

Hey
Had a look on the company. Valuation wise the company looks good.
 The return on the investment that the company has made looks very good.
However if you can help me on these
what is the order book of its subsidiary.It was beaten down badly in the past.
And what all realty project  the company has undertaken currently?
I am confused regarding  the business model of this company and what should we bet on if we want to invest in this company.

Thanks

The observation that although people see a lot of pennies during their lifetimes they cannot draw an accurate picture of a penny is not directly relevant to the situation with plants. To determine if students have a default visual limitation that prevents them from accurately drawing plants, but not animals, would require experimentation. For example, students could be given a lesson which focused equally on a plant and an animal, such as a bird nesting in a saguaro cactus or an ant and its myrmecophyte. Students would then be asked after the lesson to draw the plant and the animal. If they could accurately draw the animal but not the plant, then that might be evidence of a visual limitation specific to plants.
