Journey from deep-hatred (नफ़रत) to deep-love (इश्क़) creates massive valuations re-rating from below 1x sales and 1x book value to anything from 5x to 20x sales and a multiple of book value.

@harindersnanda @soicfinance Most were bullish on #SeQuent a day before the annual results the other week. Most would have left the train in next few quarters due to ESOP led margin compression on P&L. Playing long innings like Rahul Dravid is not same as watching him play :)

@RemindMe_OfThis in 200 days

Only one Indian company is making the country pound in the US when it comes to Biologics #Biocon @Bioconlimited 👏👏

Company floated and nurtured by a women despite all the gender biases. How can the gents be beaten by a lady?

"The global natural cosmetics market is expected to be worth $48.04 billion by 2025..... #Biotechnology could be the game-changer for natural beauty lovers – and, more crucially, Planet Earth."

ACDEGTVZ 🇺🇸 and SBLSKRP2 🇮🇳 are an unequal weight "genetically modified" high 🔥🔥 global 🧬🧬 basket.

Emphasis : "unequal" weight. In a Sunday buffet - can have extra large portion of what you really enjoy eating, by ignoring other not so tasty or healthy things 🧫🧬

1/ @mjmauboussin's book Expectations Investing is a masterclass in valuation & strategy

His framework uses price-implied expectations to assess companies, an elegant way to invert valuation

https://t.co/kESplMN3nW

To practice these concepts, I wrote a case study on Chipotle⤵️

2/ Chipotle is the leading fast casual restaurant chain across the US, with almost 3,000 owned & operated locations

They benefit from strong unit economics and a trusted brand

We'll discuss consensus estimates, competitive landscape, and expected

3/ We must first identify the price-implied expectations based on key value drivers

After finding the consensus estimates, investors can seek opportunities in the expectations - looking for a divergence from the market's assumptions

Let's start with Chipotle's sales growth

4/ Chipotle has grown revenues from $3.9B to $7.55B over the past 5 years, at a 5 year CAGR of 14.1%

Analysts estimate a 13.7% consensus growth rate based on 5-7% same store sales growth, 8% additional store openings per year, and steady digital sales contribution

5/ Next is operating profit margin, which measures profitability from core operations

Chipotle has slowly been growing its margin, now at 10.67%

Analysts expect high margins of 15.75%, with incremental profits from digital orders and unit-level margin growth contributing

Fresh out of the @mjmauboussin oven is a paper titled "The Impact of Intangibles on Base Rates"

Key finding: Companies with higher intangibles asset intensity tend to have higher growth rates. The dispersion in growth rates is also higher for them.

"The good news is that intangible-intensive companies can grow faster than their tangible counterparts. The bad news is they can also become irrelevant and shrink fast. As a consequence, we should see two effects in the data: higher growth and more dispersion in the outcomes."

@soicfinance @ishmohit1 Learning and taking inspiration from you sir..🙏🏼🙏🏼

Aswath Damodaran: “We have all these people telling you to buy a quality company. That's really bad advice. If you buy a quality company that everybody else recognizes as a quality company, you're going to pay through the roof. Good companies can be bad investments….”

In those days, working capital belonged to the shareholders.

If the employees were no longer useful, you just sacked them all, took the working capital, and stuck it in the owners' pockets.

That was the way capitalism worked

Nowadays, of course, the accounting is not realistic
