last 3 years is fixed in nature (Lease) which seems long term in nature so that
gives a sense of revenue visibility.

Company’s
management has good experience and history.
·
As
company have its optical fibre network and provide service in those areas only
, thus you see no spectrum charges in books for 1HFY21 or FY20 and insignificant
charges in FY19 and FY18 thus eliminates risk associated or cost associated
with spectrum .
CON’s
·
Company’s business model is not such which could
give exponential growth , also operates in the telecommunication Industry which
has fierce competition with highly regulated segment but enjoys a good
financials owing to exclusive Right of way from Ministry of Railways also have
around 60% of its revenue dependency on Government, any change in MoR stance
can pause a major risk.
·
Company is valued at PB of 2.7 times and PE of 20.4
based on FY20, So valuations are not cheap also PAT margin rose to 15.8% but
fallen to 8.5% in 1HFY21 although mostly because of charges which are kind of
permanent in nature and also increased depreciation (Which has to be clarified
from management) but PAT margin of around 13% seems sutainable.
·
Receivable
days stands at 156 days which is at Higher end thus posses risk also
interesting is in 1HFY21 Provision for expected credit loss 34.2cr was debited in P/L under Administrative
expenses which is 6.7% of Total Debtors as on 31 March 2020 , Nature of the
same is not clear and how much more could that be possible also not clear.
