At a Glance
A legacy auto components player quietly doubling profits, margins, and maybe even investor faith. Banco Products (India) Ltd is what happens when a Tier-2 company behaves like a Tier-1 overachiever — and nobody’s paying attention. 3x revenue in 5 years, ROCE hitting 33%, and yet trading at a discount to overhyped peers.
1. 🪝 Introduction with Hook
While the world was chasing Tesla and Ola, Banco was chilling — literally — by making radiators, charge air coolers, and oil coolers for industrial engines. No flashy marketing, no celebrity brand ambassador, just steady margins and a 65% stock return in the last 12 months.
The company is the literal radiator to your investment engine — low noise, high efficiency, and a burn-free ride.
2. 🏭 Business Model – WTF Do They Even Do?
Banco Products is in the business of keeping engines cool — both literally (radiators, fuel/oil coolers) and financially (high-margin exports). Here’s the breakdown:
🔧
Product Segments:
- Radiators and Engine Cooling Systems
- Fuel, Oil, and Charge Air Coolers
- Metal-layered and elastomeric gaskets
