FDC-a largely domestic pharma formulation player with across the segments products.plus an exporter of bulk drugsand api ,and a small presence in the food business thru oral rehydration mix and neutrceuticals.ROE =29%.debt almost 0 ,available at 10-11 pe current yr.3qrt results are good with a close to 20% increase in sales and almost 100% increase in np.products are well accepted by the medical community at least my personal experience.maybe those interested to get exposure to the domestic pharma business can study this business , competition from larger players is the major drawback, so also raw mat costs,and to some extent $ exchange rate.i have been brief .div yield is 1.97 trailing ------------- understanding both the power of compound return and the difficulty getting it is the heart and soul of understanding a lot of things |

This is good stable company which is quite cheap. Probably amongst the cheapest in formulations players alongside Unichem. Infact they would have more than 150 cr cash in their BS (i mean investment portfolio) and they have been buying back shares - last buy back planned at 65 Rs consistently raising it from Rs 40 to 65 per share.. I posted in my thread couple of months back

This is one company which could be accumulated regularly. their niche is their penetration and hold in the local market through aggresive pricing and aggresive marketing.
Lynch's kind of company which constantly buys back its own shares. ------------- Stockmarket is a weird place. For every person who buys a stock there is a person who sells it and both think they are very smart. |

Electral is their brand. It gives them 10% of their sales.

Electral too has many flavours........including apple.....which I doubt will find public acceptance. I have rarely seen people goig for apple juice.........Apple with soda is good....like Appy Fizz.

Why FDC is holding huge amounts of cash, around 100 crores, as investments? Are they not able to find any use for it?

Heard good things about this from my cousin who is a doctor. ------------- Take your chances and keep them in a box until a quieter time. |

In present market condition where every thing is almost expensive FDC available at reasonable valuation. I think its a good defensive buy and hold stock may give 20%+ return in six month time ------------- "We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy only when others are fearful." |
