Just 2 years back only Ruchi Soya was referred for insolvency proceedings on the application of their financial creditors SCB – Standard Chartered Bank and DBS Bank and its trading at stock exchanges was halted on 2019, November, 14th. In the last week of January trading in the stock resumed again. First of its listing on January 27th this year was near @ 16 and yesterday it closed above RS. 1500/-. How it proved to be the best turnaround case. First look at the profit and loss account.

I have picked up standalone financial statement – profit and loss account of the company. Comparing to TTM with financial year of year 2018 surprised the auditors and the accounts experts. Operating profits have encouraged up from -5047 to +401 Crores, but if you look at the other income has moved up from 34 to 7506 Crores. Net profit registered by the company is 7672 Crores. From which source this huge flow of money in the tune of RS.7506 Crores has raised or pumped in to the balance sheet of the company?

What changed the game is change in ownership. Now Patanjali group hold 98.97% stake in this company. Patanjali group acquired Ruchi Soya by signing a corporate insolvency resolution for around RS. 4500 crores in September 2019. Look at the balance sheet, how size of equity is reduced. 50% of the debts of the company are paid off. Interest cost is reduced. Operating margins are increased. Above all major holding is with promoters only. Until and unless they will not press the selling in stock, how the profit booking will emerge. I am not suggesting buy or the sell in this stock, but yes can suggest a make or break point which is 1326, although there is no much trading in this stock, hence charts may not work or suggest much. Even in fundamentals biggest trigger is only 99% holding with promoters. Rest all is very much secondary.
In comparison of market cap (MV) / market value of the company is even more than many big brands like Marico, Colgate, and Gillette etc.

Just imagine how much money is been made by Patanjali Group by acquiring loss making Ruchi Soya. Today the market value of the company is above 44000 Crs. 99% of the big amount belongs to the Patanjali group. Forget about the small investors. There is a fundamental rule that if the stocks are with public investor’s price of those stocks should fall or at least should not go up. If stocks are with big investors / cash rich investors stocks should move up. There may be the exceptions, after all its stock market. In Bull Run all or most of the stocks move up and in bear markets most of the stocks tank. Again in bull markets many stocks don’t perform and same in the bear markets many stocks outperform. We are in the dynamic world where matrix and economic change very quickly. So always be ready to avail the opportunities and jump away quickly at the time of danger.
I have tried to set some filters to identify a turnaround case. If you have missed this opportunity looks for another one, where a big brand or the player, is pumping in huge funds to reduce the debts of the loss making company with intention to acquire major portion of the equity.
