🚀 At a Glance:
While everyone was refreshing charts of Zomato and Paytm hoping for a dead cat bounce, Banco Products (India) Ltd. quietly went full rocket mode.
- CMP: ₹594

4.

- Market suddenly woke up from its coma
📊 Financial Snapshot (FY24)
Metric | FY24 | FY23 | YoY Growth |
---|---|---|---|
Revenue | ₹2,200 Cr | ₹1,710 Cr | +29% |
EBITDA | ₹395 Cr | ₹270 Cr | +46% |
PAT | ₹240 Cr | ₹140 Cr | +71% |

ROCE | 21% | 15.4% | +560 bps |
Zero debt. 20%+ margin business. Exports > domestic. And yet, this stock was sleeping for years.
🧮 Forward Fair Value (FV) Calculation
- CMP: ₹594
- TTM EPS: ₹34.7
- Current P/E: ~17.1x
Let’s assume:
- FY26E EPS = ₹42
- Target P/E = 20x (industry average for ancillaries with exports & margins)
🎯 Fair Value = ₹840 → Upside potential: 41% even from here
🧠 EduInvesting Take:
This is the exact type of stock most retail investors miss:
- No buzz
- No influencer coverage
- Doesn’t go on CNBC
But while you were chasing startup stories and smallcap hype trains, this old-school Gujarati radiator stock 3x’d silently.
Don’t chase cool. Chase cooling tech.
Banco didn’t reinvent finance. It just made your diesel engine cooler — and its investors richer.
🔥 Risks:
- Auto slowdown globally
- High base now — future YoY growth will taper
- Forex risks (25%+ revenue is USD-linked)
- Low float = high volatility
😂 Meme Zone:
- You in 2023: “Yeh toh boring ancillary hai.”
- You in 2024: “Kya miss ho gaya yaar, I was holding Nazara.”
- You in 2025: “₹594 ka stock… chalega kya?”
