Story:Steel Strips Wheels (SSWL), a part of the multifaceted Steel Strips group, is engaged in manufacturing wheel rims for Cars, LCV, CV’s & tractors. SSWL started commercial production from 1991. The company is armed with the latest know-how, manufacturing automobile wheel rims at its state-of-the-art manufacturing unit at Chandigarh, Chennai & Jamshedpur. The company is also setting up a new plant in Pune which is expected to have a capacity of 5 mn wheel rims. The plant is expected to complete in FY 2013. The Pune plant will be used to manufacture wheel rims for agricultural vehicles to the tune of 2 mn wheel rims. While the rest 3 mn capacity will be used to manufacture car wheel rims. This plant will provide significant growth opportunities to the company.It is increasingly being recognized as a reputed global player in the development and production of steel wheels for OEMs.SSWL has recorded a strong topline growth consistently over the past three years growing at a CAGR of 28 per cent while EBITDA and operating profit increased at a CAGR of 16 per cent and 10 per cent respectively over the same period.I expect the company’s sales and profitability to continue to remain strong on account of expansion plans and constant flow of orders. While PAT is expected to grow at a CAGR of 90% during the same period.At present price of 255 its quoting at attractive valuations of less than 7 times its fy12 earnings.Assigning a PE of 10 gives a figure of 350 odd rs.There were recent reports of the TATA group looking to increase their stake in the company.If that happens expect the steel strip counter to buzz bigtime in the bourses.The company has been expanding capacilities,putting up plants,adding clients,increasing sales quarter after quarter.Considering all these its one of the best bet in the auto ancillary sector.A great buy.
