Empee distillaries has tremendous hidden assets into the company. One of the best is the real estate part where we feel the company would be developing the real estate in the next three years. This real estate development could generate cash flows of more than the current market cap of the company. That means in the next three years the company’s cash flow from the real estate itself will be much more than the current market cap.
Empee distillaries has paid a dividend of Rs 6 this year. The dividend yield at this rate is pretty good for even dividend income along with growth opportunities.
Company also have a power generation capacity of 10 megawatts. 75% of this generated power is freely salable and only 25% needs to be transferred to Tamil Nadu government. This sale of power adds about Rs 3-4 crores of free cash flow to the bottom-line. Empee distillaries is holding 2.81 crore share of Empee Sugars and Chemicals as investment.
Considering the dominating position of company in southern markets, real estate development, small power play and intrinsic value, Empee distillaries is a stock to buy with stock price target of at least Rs. 400 levels in next 2-3 years.
