Equity Bottom-Up

In mid-December, eight trading days after Vedanta promotor Anil Agarwal said the promoter (Vedanta Resources, himself, the associated companies) had no plans at all to increase their stake in <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/vedanta-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:514:1" rel="noopener">Vedanta Ltd (VEDL IN)</a> and no plans to make an Open Offer, the promoter launched a block bid to buy 4.98% in a post-market trade. The shares had climbed more than 50% in the previous two months to Rs 150/share, but the deal got done at Rs 160/share.Less than three weeks later, two entities controlled by <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/vedanta-resources-limited" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:22202:1" rel="noopener">Vedanta Resources (VED LN)</a> announced an intention to conduct an Open Offer to buy another 10% of its main Indian-listed asset, VEDL at the same Rs. 160/share price as the clearing price. But by that time (9 January), the price had risen past Rs. 180/share as global market movements had propelled gains in cyclicals and commodity markets had propelled the underlying products.But even then, VEDL was quite cheap on a relative basis. The question was about the nature of the Open Offer. Was it a real Open Offer?  Or was it designed for another purpose in mind? We still do not know the answer, but on 18 February the stock reached a new 2-year intraday high, closing at Rs. 195+/share. And VEDL is still not expensive vs peers. Q3 results at both HZ and at VEDL ex-HZ were great. VEDL ex-HZ Operating Income was the highest since March 2014, and VEDL ex-HZ Net Income in Q3 was the second highest non-accounting gimmick Net Income ever?Looking forward, consensus on VEDL is stale. It shows the largest negative number for VEDL ex-HZ OP in the modern VEDL era in Q4 this year despite strong commodity pricing.And VEDL still owes a lot of back dividends to its shareholders. And we await the Open Offer details.This and a lot more below.
