Outlook & Valuation

The company has mixed set of financials over the few years where the revenue grew in FY20 and fell back from Rs. 9,47.97 cr to Rs 625 cr in FY21. Similarly, profit also declined from Rs. 236.6 cr in the year FY20 to Rs. 132.9 cr in the FY21 which can be attributed due to the pandemic. However, the company's performance returned to normal in the first 6 months of FY22. Vedant Fashions is among the top companies in the Indian wedding and celebration wear segment. The company's financials suffered a setback, which could be due to COVID 19. The issue is valued at P/E 161(x) to its FY21 EPS of Rs. 5.36 and P/BV of 24.42(x) on NAV of 35.45 that seems to be overpriced also the issue is purely OFS based. Thus we assign an "AVOID" rating to the IPO.

घरेलु वायदा बाजार में सोना पिछले सप्ताह में 1000 रुपये और चांदी 3400 रुपये टूट गई जिससे सोने के भाव 47800 रुपये प्रति दस ग्राम और चांदी 61600 रुपये प्रति किलो के स्तरों पर पहुंच गए। फेड द्वारा ब्याज दरे जल्दी बढ़ाने के संकेत से सोने के विपरीत दिशा में चलने वाला डॉलर, पिछले सप्ताह करीब 2 प्रतिशत तेज़ हुआ और अमेरिकी बॉन्ड यील्ड भी 1.82 प्रतिशत के ऊपर निकल गई।  हालांकि, वर्ल्ड गोल्ड कॉउंसिल ( डब्ल्यूजीसी ) के मुताबिक 2021 में सोने की मांग अच्छी रहने के बावजूद 2022 में इसकी मांग में और भी इजाफा होने का अनुमान लगाया है।

डब्ल्यूजीसी के भारतीय ऑपरेशन के क्षेत्रीय मुख्य कार्यकारी अधिकारी ने कहा कि इस साल सोने की खपत छह साल के उच्चतम स्तर 800 से 850 टन तक पहुंचने की संभावना है, जबकि 2021 में 797.3 टन थी और पांच साल की औसत खपत 667 टन है। भारत की सोने की खपत में पिछले साल 79 प्रतिशत की बढ़ोतरी दर्ज की गई है। डब्ल्यूजीसी की दिसंबर रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक भारत में उच्च आयात शुल्क होने के बावजूद सोने का आयात बढ़ा है और ज्वेलरी की मांग एक दशक में दोगुना हो चुकी है।

भारत में कीमती धातुओं को लेकर नई नीति का निर्धारण और उन्नत तकनीक लाने से इनमे पारदर्शिता बढ़ेगी जो एसेट क्लास के रूप में सोने के लिए महत्वपूर्ण होगी। कच्चे तेल में आपूर्ति पहले से बाधित है साथ ही रूस और यूक्रेन के बीच तनाव बढ़ने से तेल और गैस की आपुर्ती में आगे भी बाधा उत्पन्न होने की सम्भावना के चलते इनके भाव में लगातार बढ़ोतरी हो रही है जिससे मुद्रास्फीति भी बढ़ने के अनुमान है। भूराजनितिक तनाव में आगे भी बढ़ोतरी हुई तो यह सोने और चांदी को निचले स्तरों पर सपोर्ट कर सकता है।

सप्ताह के आर्थिक घटक

चीन में इस सप्ताह स्प्रिंग फेस्टिवल होने से बाजार बंद रहेंगे। बुधवार को ओपेक-नॉन ओपेक देशो की बैठक, गुरुवार को बैंक ऑफ़ इंग्लैंड और यूरोपियन सेंट्रल बैंक की मौद्रिक नीति और शुक्रवार को अमेरिकी पैरोल के आंकड़े महत्वपूर्ण है।

तकनिकी विश्लेषण

सोने और चांदी के भाव इस सप्ताह अस्थिरता के साथ दबाव में रह सकते है। सोने को 47300 रुपये पर सपोर्ट और 48300 रुपये पर प्रतिरोध है। चांदी को 60000 रुपये पर सपोर्ट और 63000 रुपये पर प्रतिरोध है।

Investing in a company is a big decision, and it’s important to ensure that the company you’re considering is credible and trustworthy. This blog will guide you through simple steps to check the credibility of a company before you invest your hard-earned money.

1. Understand the Company’s Business Model

Before investing, it’s crucial to understand how the company makes money. Look at what products or services they offer, who their customers are, and how they stand out from their competitors. A clear and sustainable business model is a good sign that the company is reliable.

2. Review Financial Statements

A company’s financial health is a strong indicator of its credibility. Look at the company’s financial statements, including the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. Focus on the following:

• Revenue Growth: Is the company’s revenue increasing over time?
• Profit Margins: Is the company making a healthy profit?
• Debt Levels: Does the company have manageable debt?

You can find these financial statements on the company’s website, in their annual reports, or on financial news websites.

3. Check the Company’s Credit Rating

Credit rating agencies like CRISIL, ICRA, or CARE provide ratings that reflect the company’s creditworthiness. A higher credit rating indicates that the company is more likely to meet its debt obligations, which is a good sign of financial stability.

4. Research the Management Team

The company’s leadership plays a critical role in its success. Research the background of the CEO and other key executives. Look for:

• Experience: Do they have a strong track record in the industry?
• Reputation: Have they been involved in any scandals or unethical practices?
• Stability: Frequent changes in leadership can be a red flag.

5. Analyze Industry Position

Understanding how the company fits within its industry can give you insights into its potential for long-term success. Consider:

• Market Share: Is the company a leader in its industry?
• Competitive Advantage: Does it have unique strengths that give it an edge over competitors?
• Industry Trends: Is the industry growing, and does the company adapt well to changes?

6. Examine Stock Performance

While past stock performance doesn’t guarantee future results, it can provide useful insights. Look at the company’s stock price trends over time. Has it been stable, or has it been volatile? Consistent performance is generally a positive sign.

7. Read Analyst Reports

Financial analysts often provide detailed reports on companies, including their strengths, weaknesses, and future prospects. Reading these reports can give you a well-rounded view of the company’s credibility and potential.

8. Check for Legal Issues

A company with frequent legal issues or regulatory violations may not be a safe investment. Look up news articles, legal filings, or regulatory actions against the company. A clean legal history is a good indicator of credibility.

9. Look at Customer Reviews

Customer satisfaction can also be a measure of a company’s credibility. Look for reviews and testimonials from customers. A company with positive feedback and a strong reputation for quality and service is more likely to be trustworthy.

10. Assess Dividend History

If the company pays dividends, check its dividend history. Consistent dividend payments, especially during tough economic times, indicate a strong and reliable company.

11. Evaluate Corporate Governance

Good corporate governance practices ensure that a company is run in a fair, transparent, and accountable manner. Look at the company’s board structure, policies on executive compensation, and how they handle shareholder concerns. Companies with strong governance are usually more credible.

12. Check Insider Trading Activity

Insider trading refers to the buying or selling of a company’s stock by people within the company, like executives. Frequent insider selling might indicate that those who know the company best have concerns about its future.

Conclusion

Checking the credibility of a company before investing is essential to avoid potential risks. By following these simple steps—understanding the business model, reviewing financials, researching the management team, and more—you can make smart decisions and invest with confidence. Remember, a credible company is more likely to provide stable returns and long-term growth, making your investment worthwhile.

पिछले सप्ताह अब तक सोने में लगभग 1.6 प्रतिशत तक की तेज़ी हुई और जनवरी में सोना लगातार दूसरे साप्ताहिक लाभ के लिए तैयार रहा। हालांकि 2022 में इसकी सकारात्मक शुरुआत हुई है, लेकिन यह सोने के लिए एक कठिन वर्ष हो सकता है। क्योकि ज्यादातर प्रमुख केंद्रीय बैंक ब्याज दरे बढ़ाने के लिए तैयार है।

हालांकि कीमती धातुओं के निवेशकों ने अमेरिकी. फेडरल रिजर्व के नीतिगत फैसले को अब तक पचा लिया है जिससे कीमती धातुओं ने लगातार दूसरे सप्ताह भी बढ़त दर्ज की है। निवेशक अब फेड के अगले नीतिगत फैसले का इंतजार कर रहे हैं, जो इस सप्ताह 26 जनवरी को दिया जाएगा। आर्थिक आकड़ो के मोर्चे पर, गुरुवार को जारी अमेरिकी आंकड़ों के मुताबिक पूरे सप्ताह में 286000 प्रारंभिक बेरोजगार दावे दायर किए गए, जो तीन महीने का उच्च स्तर है। जनवरी में फिलाडेल्फिया फेडरल रिजर्व मैन्युफैक्चरिंग इंडेक्स बढ़ कर 23.2 रहा। मौजूदा घरेलू बिक्री घट कर 6.18 मिलियन पर रही। चीन के तिमाही जीडीपी के आंकड़े अनुमान से बेहतर दर्ज किये गए। जापान से जारी आंकड़ों के मुताबिक राष्ट्रीय मुख्य उपभोक्ता मूल्य सूचकांक में साल-दर-साल 0.5 प्रतिशत की वृद्धि हुई है और राष्ट्रीय सीपीआई में दिसंबर में साल-दर-साल 0.8 प्रतिशत की वृद्धि हुई है। ब्रिटैन से जारी हुए  मुद्रास्फीति (सीपीआई) के आकड़ो में भी वृद्धि दर्ज की गई है। कच्चे तेल के भाव में पिछले सप्ताह ₹250 रुपये प्रति बैरल की वृद्धि देखि गई। बढ़ते हुए कच्चे तेल के भाव से एक बार फिर मुद्रास्फीति बढ़ने का डर निवेशकों में रहा जिसके कारण शेयर बाज़ारो में बिकवाली का दबाव बना रहा और कीमती धातुओं में सुरक्षित निवेश की मांग मजबूत हुई है। रूस और यूक्रेन के बीच तनाव और ब्रिटैन में चल रही राजनितिक उठा पटक, कीमती धातुओं को सपोर्ट कर रही है। चीन ने पिछले सप्ताह अपनी एक और पांच साल की लोन प्राइम रेट पर कटौती कर दी और बैंक ऑफ़ चाइना के वाईस गवर्नर ने आगे भी राहत पैकेज देने के संकेत देकर बाजार की उम्मीद को बढ़ाया है। जिससे कीमती धातुओं की चमक बढ़ने लगी है।
