Accurate Transformers Ltd. (Code: 530513) (Rs.86.50) is engaged in manufacturing of power and distribution transformers ranging from 1 MVA to 160 MVA - in up to 220 KV class. It also carries out rural electrification project, which involve electrification in remote areas including the laying of lines, poles and substations. Unfortunately, despite having installed capacity of more than 8000 MVA, the company is working at very low capacity utilization of less than 50% due to mounting debtors and shortage of funds. However, on the back of the ongoing boom in the power sector and the robust demand for transformers, the situation has improved considerably. Due to better operating efficiency and higher realization, the company is expected to improve its profit margin going forward. It may even grow at CAGR of 50% over the next three years as far as its bottomline is concerned. On a conservative basis, it can clock a turnover of more than Rs.200 cr. with PAT of Rs.8 cr. for FY08. This works out to an EPS of Rs.27 on its current equity of Rs.2.96 cr. As perunconfirmed reports, SEBI has stalled its preferential issue of 31 lakh warrants at Rs.56 and it may have to go in for fresh fund raising programme as per SEBI guidelines. The scrip has reduced to nearly one third from its high of Rs.240. A screaming buy.
