PROS:
+ Good financials all around. Good growth, manageable debt and 22% Return on Equity.
+ Diversified product mix. Makes engine blocks, suspension components, transmission and brake systems
+ Focus on exports. Fiat Chrysler is one of the biggest customers.
CONS
- Poor dividend payout ratio (5 or 6% of profits). Trading at 40 PE, which is quite high.
- Bajaj Auto constitutes 40% of their revenues. If Bajaj Auto sees a slowdown, Endurance is likely to take a hit too.
- Recently listed. Could not find its annual report.

Meeting at Wonder La on a roller coaster would be quite appropriate

And has tons of institutional investors as well. Maybe there is more to SNL that we do not know which is why it is not as expensive as NRB despite being better fundamentally. |
Just took a quick look. Usually, it is better to go with the parent company. The financials of NRB Bearings look pretty decent. Debt to equity ratio of 1 is not too bad. Look at interest costs and compare it with operating profits.

You should never 'invest and forget' a stock investment. Just check the sales/profits number every quarter. It is a 10 minute job. And also check the 'Indian car sales & analysis' thread on Team-BHP to get an idea about how Maruti is doing.

Also investment experts, please advise if one should touch their contingency savings for stock market investments? or breaking FDs to invest in equity?
My current investment pattern is over 70% in FDs/Debt, rest 30% in stocks/Mutual funds.
|
That's a conservative mix. Instead of breaking FDs, use your future savings to invest in equities. That is, if your FD/equity mix is 75:25, then invest in equities during that month. If your portfolio shoots up and your FD/equity mix is 65:35, then invest your savings in Fixed deposit during that particular month.
If you need funds for an emergency, pull out funds from either FD or equities depending on the current mix (compared to your desirable mix of 70:30)

Good advice, but give the company management some room. Don't exit a stock just because it's profits fell 20% in a year. It could bounce back in form the next year.

Everything is in $, but Investopedia is still one of the best resources to learn stock market investing. Zerodha Varsity is good too
