Penny Wise Andhra Petrochemicals Limited

Andhra Petrochemicals Limited (APL), the only company in the country manufacturing a range of oxo-alcohol products. APL is expected to do well in the next one-year or so. It was in losses for years. Now it has turned around. This year it may declare 10% dividend.


Also the company is expanding its plant capacity from 39,000 tonnes per annum to 73,000 tpa. This Rs 280-crore expansion project is expected to be commissioned by the second half of 2009.

Key risk for the business is that it is a volume business. Any fall in margins due to rise in inputs cost can worsen the situation.

We initiate a buy (CMP Rs 16.25) with a price target of Rs 25 in next 12 months time.
