Liberty shoes with a market cap of 230 CR has huge upside potential.
I think it is most visible shoe/retailer after Bata. Now even if they catch up with Bata we have 5 bagger. It is trading at discount to Bata in terms of MCAP/Sales 1.4 for Bata and 1 for Liberty. Given some intelligent moves like JV with Pantaloon for Shoe Factory and its own retail foray, Liberty should be able to mtach Bata. Looks like market is yet to value its retail foray. But as retail evolves in India, comapnies like Liberty stand to gain. |

Liberty shoes are one of the best shoes manufactured in India.
If you buy a pair of Liberty shoes, you can find out the quality of it.
Due to labour problems, their factory was closed for nearly nine months.There was a settlement with the workers and the factory at Haryana started working from Dec 2006. They are one of the suppliers of shoes to the wall mart. They also sell their shoes from their website.
All is well for the company, except that it does not get its recognition from the market. When the strikes were called off, I bought a very small quantity of this company at around 150 level. I waited till the last qtr07 results were declared. Though the result was good, the price hardened, so I exited the company.
Though I do not have any holding in the company, still I love their product.
I heard somewhere that a section of the brokers does not trade in leather shares. Is that the reason for its low rate. ------------- Shashi Praharaj |

| True, in last couple of years, I have returned a number of times from Bata and finally ended up buying Liberty for my kid. |

I would not think so. many brokers do not trade in alchohol, cigarrettes etc but those companies have done tremendously! ------------- 'The Thoughtful Investor: A Journey to Financial Freedom Through Stock Market Investing' - A Book on Equity Investing especially for Indian Investors.

| Just some analysis of US footwear manufactures, Wolverine World Wide(WWW) and Timberland(TBL). They typically trade at 1 to 1.5 times sales and 15-20 PE. Bata is similar. Going by that standard Liberty is defintely not dirt cheap but it is not too costly either. But what I like about them is their aggressive foray into retailing with diffrent formats and huge capacity expansion in tax-free zones. If executed well all this should lead to doubling of share price in 2 years. |

I think Liberty's big retail foray with pantaloon should do well. That is because single brand stores are difficult to exist. people want to look at all types of choices before really buying an item. I think that wasa reason for Sangam (HLL retail foray) not doing well. They were pushing products from the Lever stable only. ------------- 'The Thoughtful Investor: A Journey to Financial Freedom Through Stock Market Investing' - A Book on Equity Investing especially for Indian Investors.

| Yes Bansatjee, Earlier Liberty had their own 8-10 store called Revolutions but just had Liberty shoes. I liked the Shoe Factory in Cosmos Mall near my apt. They have right focus with most men pairs costing between 1000-2000. |

Dolly Khanna, the investor with the Golden touch has entered in this stock in the last quarter. Also, the last two - three quarters have been stupendous. The stock has broken out after 4 yrs of consolidation and can give tremendous returns in the next 2 yrs. This is also backed by change in fundamentals of the company. P.S: This is part of my core-portfolio and I hope somebody is also researching this stock. If yes, then lets discuss more about the stock. |

| A weekly closing above 161 levels with big volumes.... next week's result would be a important trigger. |
