      It’s not just about the business, Rohit. It’s about business + valuations. 🙂

    Very good post. I have been following you since a month and I am a beginner to understand financial reports.

    Few questions I have here:
    1. How do you weigh Strong financial strength and sounding business of a company out of 100 percent ?
    2. What is your take on Voltas vs Blue star vs Symphony ?

    Vishal,

    Just one question. Given the business, at what valuations, you would be comfortable to buy it?

    Thanks for the report, VIshal.

    A lot of text is colored out with yellow blocks. Do I need to download to be able to see all the text?

    Regards

    I think company is good but valuations are sky high. Negative capex is new thing I read here. They are trying hard to distinct their products from Competitor roducts but law of average will catch up sooner or later. Where is high margin, new competitors will come.

    Great job done Vishal. Have you ever come across a bigger megalomaniac? ( I know you will not answer) Never came across a report written by a conceited whose downfall appears to be imminent as clearly revealed/camouflaged by the writer of the annual report !

    Sheer entertainment.
    Hats off to you as well as to the author of the report !
