Canfin Homes (Code:511196) (Rs.59) has been a laggard for quite some time in spite of its strong fundamentals and great dividend yield. The reason was the constant selling by the promoter group institutions like HDFC and UTI. In the last two years, the promoters stake has come down to 29% from 54%. But importantly Canara Bank now holds the whole 29% stake and it does not want to dilute its stake. For the Sept.'06 quarter the company has once again come out with flying colours. Its total revenue grew by 35% to Rs.48 cr. whereas PAT increased by whopping 60% to Rs.8.90 cr., thereby registering an EPS of more than Rs.4 for the quarter. For the full year FY07, it may report a top line of Rs.190 cr. and net profit of Rs.33 cr. i.e. EPS of Rs.16. This means that the scrip is currently trading at a P/E ratio of less than 4. With a staggering book value of Rs.85 and dividend yield of around 5%, this scrip is bound to cross Rs.100 in the medium term. A screaming buy.
