1. At a Glance
A 56-year-old conglomerate with businesses spanning petrochemicals, closures, marine logistics, and real estate — Oricon Enterprises is like that uncle with 5 businesses, none of which you understand. Once a cash cow, now more like a confused camel with bad margins and other income doing all the heavy lifting.
2. Introduction with Hook
If Oricon were a cricket team, it would be a 1990s Pakistan squad: unpredictable, explosive in patches, and capable of collapsing under its own weight.
- 5-year sales growth: -28%
- Return on equity (ROE): 0.46% (basically a savings account)
But wait, there’s drama: it’s selling legacy businesses, hoarding real estate, and raking in “other income” like a tax-saving uncle in March.
3. Business Model (WTF Do They Even Do?)
Oricon = diversified chaos:
- Real Estate: Sitting on prime Mumbai land like a dragon guarding treasure.
- Marine Logistics: 100% ownership of United Shippers Limited, a profitable subsidiary.
- Packaging: Plastic closures and preforms (now sold to Manjushree Technopack in April 2024).
- Petrochemicals: Also selling off this unit.
Translation? They’re liquidating old businesses and morphing into a real estate play wrapped in packaging paper.
4. Financials Overview
