Doctor Saab, pick axe theme in Wind Energy sector reminds me of a gentleman I met last year. He made huge money by investing in KEMROCK very early, vadodara based company which makes High Performance Reinforced Polymer Composites, and a comprehensive range of Unsaturated Polyester & Phenolic Resins which are also used to make Windmill towers/rotor blades among other industrial applications.
 
SKF is truly a global leader in Bearings for almost all the sectors.

I haven't had a close look at Kemrock because by the time that gentleman told me he had moved out of this stock after making a cool 35~40 times multibagger in less than 3 years!

I entered in Kemrock at around 90 and came out at around 360.
the selection was due to:
-pick axe theory being sole supplier to wind mill supplier for few items
-replacing conventional mettle components with high grade/ high quality composite material
-monopoly item
-lots of possibiility of finding applications where they can replace conventional parts with this new tech items
-very low equity and turn over company, providing enormous opportunity for growth.
-the cost of its supplies in overall product is very marginal and hence vendors may be very less sensitive to premium pricing (remember mainsh dave's comment on uranium ' atta me namak')
- prmotoers were buying and increasing stake continuously at/ very close to prevailing market rates.
 
 
As such i was thinking of visiting their mfg facility, but as they have recently shifted it from baroda to near by GIDC could not do so.

Very useful insight on how to go about looking at companies especially the atta me namak theme - Thanks to Manish for that.

At first shot the financials look attractive operating margins have expanded to 24.84% from 16.32%; Net profit margins have gone upto  7.58% from 3.98% and the RoE is at 30.03% from 12.82% whereas the RoCE has just moved from 9.18% to 13.57%.

The main problem which seems to be is that the company is highly geared. Debt equity ratio is over 4 times and the company seems to have a RoCE which is just below the prime lending rate of most of the banks.
 
So what could have done this trick. It seems that the company has borrowed heavily and then invested that money in its business. The total debt has increased by 8 times in the last 4 years from Rs 11.41 crores to Rs 90.47 crores. So that though the net profit has gone up increasing the RoE the RoCE has not shown an equal ioncrease.
 
It is better to analyse companies by looking at both RoE and RoCE because it indicates whether the company is growing naturally by efficient use of capital or growing just because of leverage.
 
I am not suggesting that this company is bad but just trying to provide a perspective of financial engineering which in case of a rising interest rate environement could hit some of these highly leveraged companies.
