Analyst’s View:
SJS is one of the leading players in the Indian decorative aesthetics industry. The company saw a mixed quarter with revenues flat YoY while profit increased by 27% YoY. The company is gearing up for a capex of Rs 100 Cr to expand its chrome plating division to meet the additional demand. It has also added MG, Honda and Hyundai as customers in Q4. The management guides for an organic topline growth of 25% for the next 3 years. It remains to be seen whether the company will be able to match the management growth guidance and how will its export business pan out in the future. Given the company’s strong position in its industry, SJS is an interesting smallcap stock to watch out for.
