When you think about it, this should usually not happen. If a company has a market cap of Rs 1000 crore, & net cash balance of Rs 1500 crore, you can buy the company today, close it, to get an arbitrage of Rs 500 crore. But there are cases when this can happen. 2/7

Can a Low Margin business create value for stakeholders? If yes, how? By being really efficient in using their assets. If a low margin business can generate more sales using a lower asset base, it is likely to generate good ROE and ROCE. 1/8

Should a company strive for Negative Working Capital or Positive Working Capital? This is a very common question in interviews in Finance, and in Financial Analysis. And one that confuses many people. Let's try and understand this. 1/10

Which is the next HDFC Bank? This question keeps getting asked all the time. I remember an answer by someone at a forum long back. HDFC Bank grows at 18-20% per year. It doubles its profits every 4 years. So HDFC Bank will create the next HDFC Bank in the next 4 years! 1/3

Another case where the market may not value cash is if you can’t buy the firm. In 2010, MTNL had a lot of cash. At one point, market cap was below the cash levels in 2009. But as it was a PSU, the arbitrage was not possible. They frittered away all the cash in coming years. 6/7

Capital Expenditure by government was Rs 4.2 lakh crore in FY21. It is proposed to be 10 lakh crore in FY24. CAGR of 33%! Sort of operating leverage at play here. Extra tax collected seems to be allocated in capital expenditure. This is good!

Not sure if 100 P/E is justified for a fairly competitive space, where growth hasn’t been great, and existing players have struggled to grow profits. Plus geographical concentration is an issue for Bikaji, with nearly 70% of revenue coming from Rajasthan, Bihar and Assam. 8/9
