Value Investing Diwali 2017 stock picks

#1
I had first learned about value investing through Einstein's thread.

I am starting off my financial markets career and thought I'd spread the word about myself by sharing my stockpicks for Diwali 2017 in the following spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fInE0-wJXQ0p9vWYYc5ePyuWyzBDd5bMpxEtVFRWgX8/edit?usp=sharing

The spread sheet updates the performance live. The stocks are equally weighted with the stock with my highest conviction (actually best financial ratios) on top.

Embedded Value (EV) will likely grow at ~11% CAGR over FY17-19E. Return on Embedded Value (ROEV) should remain robust at 14-16.5% over the medium term.

The company has sufficient cash on the books of ~RS 8,000 Cr (post QIP @ Rs 1,130 per share) which should enable it to fund its fleet acquisitions.

Ujjivan Financial Services
Ujjivan Financial Services (UFSL) is the third largest NBFC-MFI focused on serving the underpenetrated economically active poor segment. Its FY17 gross loan book stands at Rs 6,379 cr. The company is adequately capitalized for the next two years. We expect the overall loan growth of ~18% in FY18E and a CAGR of ~26% over FY17-19E. Incrementally, the focus will be on secured segments like housing and MSME, which are expected to grow from 3% of the loan book currently to one-third of the loan book by FY20E.

You may want to reconsider the choice of Eclerx as your IT pick. Personally, I like Sonata Software and it features prominently in my long term portfolio. Main reason is its strong dividend paying history, low PE, proactive management and higher chances of an upside in the IT space. It just adds good stability to a diversified portfolio. Of course, this is not a recommendation but just a suggestion.

@ steveBayerIN ji ,

In your stock selection Maithan Alloys and chamanlal Setia Exports are in my portfolio
due to some reasons Bhageria and HCL Tech i filtered ....
in my view Indian stock market is costly ..... Nifty PE Ratio is 26.52
but not in a Euphoria state ....
some sectors like NBFC & Retail Sectors are in a Euphoria stages
in my view software stocks margins are slowing down , wait and watch is best in this sector....

in my view we find growth stocks in this market , but not value stocks at present because market PE Ratio showing some high levels
but your stock selection is good and those are low value stocks ... but always remember with these valuations growth combination is always best
Value + Growth combination stocks always perform well in my experience ....

that spreadsheets link in your post is not working .... if you dont mind recheck it , and post that spreadsheet in this thread ....

ALL THE BEST

Sonata's sales performance in 2012 and 2013 would have led my investing process to filter out the stock. The company seems to have stablized in 2015. I may enter this stock if the price drops but the fundamentals remain the same!

I am intentionally buying low value stocks with a margin of safety that have had some long term growth behind them. It is difficult for me at this time to know for certain which companies will have high growth for certain in the future so I'm using the margin of safety rule strictly!

I checked out the spreadsheet in internet explorer without sigining in to Google and it works, check now:
