V Mart Retail- A Possible Multibagger...

Wrote on V Mart Retail as a part of Safal Niveshak Value Investing Contest.

However, please note-

 This is not a Buy & Forget Stock. There are things which can go wrong here.
An investor needs to monitor-
1) Sales/ sq foot — A declining trend here means they are struggling to grow in their existing stores / growing too fast for confort.
2) PAT margins — A declining trend here means they are giving too high discounts to attract customers may be due to increased competition or due to lack of customer interest.
3) Inventory Days — A declining trend here means they are not able to sell inventory fast enough & run the risk of obsolescence.
4) Payable Days — A declining trend here means suppliers are taking better terms from the company.

    Very nicely articulated JK!
    The size of tier-2/3 market is very lucrative! Also there are unlisted players too right? D-mart for instance? Not sure if they are targeting tier-2/3.

      Thanks Prashanth.
      Yes, D-mart has much higher sales/ store also.
      But size is huge. Hopefully VMart will be able to capture some part :)
