Transcripts
hey everyone I still remember the covid
period when textile sector stock
generated exponential returns however
it's been more than two years since it
has underperformed if you recall I did a
detailed analysis during the beginning
of this year and discussed why I think
that the textile sector in India is on
the wge of the next set of rally in fact
I've been observing that many FIS dis
and hnis are consistently investing in
the textile sector so in this video
we'll first try to understand the reason
behind why textile sector can be the
next wealth Creator then we'll look at
the entire value chain of textile
segment and top player in the segment
and then we'll also look at the textile
stocks where top institutions and Ace
investors are bullish but before you
begin a disclaimer that this video is
only for Education purpose the idea is
to share my knowledge please don't
blindly invest based on this video do
your research to build conviction before
investing all right let's get started to
begin with let us take a few case
studies and understand the rise in
textile stocks during covid and then
correction and consolidation for
instance go export zoomed from lows of
30 rupe in March 20 all the way to 1,000
rupe generating more than 30 T return a
brilliant turnaround story however it's
been nearly a year since the stock price
is stagnant kpr Mill zoomed from lows of
65 all the way to 750 they're getting
more than 10 times return however it's
been more than 2 years since the returns
are not great tighton Zoom from lows of
3 rupe all the way to 60 plus but it's
been more than 2 years since the share
price has corrected and consolidated
likewise government companies like Rupa
zoomed from 120 rupe all the way to 500
and since then it has corrected and
Consolidated in the range of 270 Lux
industry zoomed more than five times but
witnessed a brutal correction micro cap
company like sportking zoomed more than
40 times and then corrected
significantly however there are very
good signs of recovery in share price
with very high volume the question is
why textile sector underperform for the
last more than 2 years and why is it
looking promising now so there are three
key reasons for underperformance first
is low demand during covid the interest
rate across the world were very low and
that eventually resulted in high
inflation to combat the inflation
Central Bank around the world increased
interest rate as a result consumption
started slowing down due to that there
was a sharp fall in demand for textile
sector as consumer curtail their
spending on fashion and discretionary
products so fall in demand for fashion
product resulted in sharp decline in
Autobook for textile sector especially
during fi23 that fall in Autobook badly
impacted the top line of textile
companies however the inflation problem
has started to ease out and the demand
has again started to pick up then second
reason was high inventory issue due to
fall in demand the inventory with
textile companies got piled up and when
you have inventory piled up you have to
clear it at low cost so that resulted in
inventory loss and impacted the VA of
textile companies but now retailers
across the world are setting on very low
inventory that has created Creed a good
case for an increase in the order book
and third reason is huge surge in Cotton
price during covid cotton prices fell
down significantly that boosted the
profit of textile companies but over the
next two years cotton prices zoomed
exponentially that resulted in sharp
decline in AA margin but cotton prices
have already seen a significant drop in
the prices so basically textile sector
got badly impacted due to fall in
revenue and margin contraction that
resulted in sharp decline in profits and
now that there is increase in demand and
retailers are sitting on very low
inventory so that would result in
increase on AUD book and eventually the
revenues on top of that fall in Cotton
prices would increase Thea of textile
companies and that should result in
sharp increase in net profits apart from
these three factors there are two more
factors that are key growth driver for
textile sector in India so fourth factor
is China plus one historically China has
dominated the global textile industry
but there has been consistent conflict
and trade war between us and China and
that is one key reason
especially us companies are reducing
dependency on China and India has
emerged as one of the biggest
beneficiary of this trend and fifth
factor is government support Indian
government has set a textile export
Target to100 billion versus f23 export
of 35 billion there's already a PL
scheme for technical textile segment and
government now intend to extend that PL
to t-shirt in aware although it's not
yet finalized so all these factors would
play a key role in upcycle in Indian
textile sector now let us look at the
value chain of Tex yle and key players
in the value
chain so this is the value chain of
entire textile sector that include your
Spinners garment manufacturers made ups
and Technical textile Spinners basically
manufacture the yarn that is further
used by garment manufacturer here please
note that Spinners operate on Lower
margin and they are more volatile to raw
material changes for example if let's
say raw material like cotton the prices
goes down then Spinners make a lot of
profit likewise if the prices goes up
for raw material they make lower profit
and that's where if there's an upcycle
in textile industry then Spinners can
make a lot of profit and that would get
reflected in the share price what are
some of the companies it include your
waman textile Nahar spinning sport king
India lakmi Mills sutas textile Jinder
textile ambika cotton Nan Spinners so
those who can time this upcycle in
textile industry that can make a good
money in spinner category having said
this you also need to time the exit
because when the downside start these
companies uh you know their profit can
tank and their share price would also
fall but yeah this is a good category to
probably consider doing the upcycle the
next segment is garment manufacturer as
the name suggest they manufacture the
Garment across your categories like your
uh women men and kids here again you can
divide it into two segments one is uh
the category that manufacture the appals
like your jackets tops bottom and so so
on and so forth companies like kpr mil
SP ail goas export irin fashion Pearl
Global kitex these are some of the
companies then second category is the
companies that manufacture the inner
okay that include your Rupa Lux dollars
and within inare they also manufacture
the Winter Wear right and again you can
broadly divide this into geography as
well for example company like Google do
export mainly derive it business from US
market right so you can uh understand
you know some of the companies May
derive Market from Indian market for
examp example arind has got major
business nearly 50% business coming from
Indian market and uh some companies uh
have business coming from across the
world like us Europe and so on and so
forth also here please note that some of
the companies are also backward
integrated like kpr mill that also
manufacture the yarn right so this is
the value chain where you have got
garment manufacturer then third category
is madeup madeup is nothing but uh the
textile that is other than appil so it
mainly include your home Tex style like
your pillow cover bed sheets then
blanket then throws bathrobes and all of
these things uh top companies include
your Indo count well spun living phase 3
Trident group and himas and fourth
category is technical textile now
textile can also be divided into two
category one is your uh natural fiber
and another is man-made fiber so
technical textile is nothing but the
man-made fiber natural fiber example is
your cotton wool silk and and your
man-made or technical textile example is
your polister viscos so these companies
manufacture the technical textile what
are some of the companies it include
your Ganesha ecosphere indorama then
filatex suam India and garware Technical
textile what are the applications the
lot of applications like your uh Sports
Nets fishing nets agriculture Nets and
uh they also find usage in uh your
garment sector for example the jackets
out of category uh is also made up of
technical textile likewise find usage in
your home textile as well here please
note that this is a very interesting
company within technical textile Ganesha
ecosphere where it manufactured the
technical textile out of the plastic
waste right and you also have garware
textile is also a leading company so
this is basically the value chain of
textile sector that include your yarn
manufacturer then garment manufacturer
then made ups that include your home
textile and finally you have got the
technical
textile so first company in the list is
Galas export this is one of the most
preferred Company by top FIS and dis
I've already done a detailed analysis on
goas turnaround story under the
leadership of Mr siiva ganapati now if
you look at company sholing pattern in
last 12 quarters fi stake in the company
has consistently increased from 4.6% all
the way to 26.55 per. in fact in latest
June quarter the stake has increased by
more than 5% who are the FIS where it
include top names like Goldman Sachs
that has consistently increased take in
the company in the last few quarters
there are two more FIS with recent
purchase that include custody Bank of
Japan and Fidelity India focused fund D
St in the company has also consistently
increased from 10% all the way to
31.8% and it again include all top
mutual funds of India overall F and Di
collectively hold around 58% stake in
the company although promoter holding in
the company is consistently falling but
we have already discussed the reason in
the past it's because Gokul promoter is
a p form that entered at very low levels
and now booking profit but the key point
is that the stake sale is absorbed by
strong hand of fi and Di weak hands of
public have consistently reduced in the
last 12 quarters Google D is mainly
engaged in garment manufacturing with
focus on US market if you look at
company's financials after struggling
for many years company got turned around
with new leadership and Its Top Line has
grown at a very good rate company's
margins have consistently improved that
resulted in huge growth in operating
profit and that got reflected in the
bottom line as well although f24 was a
bit softer with slowdown in growth due
to multiple challenges in Tex St sector
but looks like f25 should be much better
company has consistently generated cash
in the past but f24 is showing negative
cash due to very high inventory because
of slowdown going forward this should
also become positive another very
promising company in this segment is kpr
Mill it has been a consistent wealth
Creator where it share prices zoomed
from 2025 rupe all the way to 850 in the
last 10 years company's financials have
consistently grown for the last 10 years
company has consistently generated very
high cash from operations its debt to
equity is also just around 0.27 and both
Roe and Roc are around 20% and that to
in this difficult environment company
has a very strong promoter background
with 73.7% holding and fi and Di
collectively hold another 20% just 6% is
with retail then third stock in the list
is phase three where Ace investor Ashish
kacholia has consistently increased take
from 2.78% all the way to
5.42% phase 3 is a micro cap company
with market cap of around 12200 CR and
primarily engaged in manufacturing and
export of Home textile products like

good rate since 2018 although it has
been stagnant in the last two years
company's margins have also improved
consistently but fell down in fi 24 its
bottom line has also grown at fast
weight since 2019 but earning fell down
in fi 24 Company's stock price has also
been consolidating since almost an year
fourth stock is also a micro cap company

recently declared its QQ and result and
its top line is up by 18% year on year
and net profits have zoomed 75% year on
year compan is engaged in the production

past to watch that video to understand
the business model and its potential
then seventh stock that is part of Ace
investor portfolio is Rupa and it's part
of Mr Sunil Singa portfolio he has been
holding 4.2% stake in the company
overall the recent investment of top dis
FIS and hnis suggest that the textile
sector is looking quite attractive and
ready for next phase of Up Cycle we have
already discussed the reason for high
growth potential in the sector that
include Improvement in demand low
inventory with retailers and fall in
