Goodyear India Ltd
Goodyear India Ltd
Story:A 74% subsidiary of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. US, Goodyear India is among the best-known tyre brands. It has a very wide product portfolio including tyres for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, trucks, buses, tractors and earthmovers.

Valuation looks attractive and with the tyre sector having a dream run on the bourses goodyear may just be one of the best sectorial performer in the days to come.A hot buy at dips.

SEAMEC LTD
Story:The companys valuation is particularly attractive given the companys strong return ratios and debt-free status. The Q1CY2009 results of SEAMEC were much ahead of estimates on account of a strong top line growth and further improvement in margins. The revenues for the quarter grew by 149% to Rs100.1 crore, as all four of its vessels were deployed during the quarter against just two in the same quarter of the last year.Currently, the contracts for all the vessels are in place and all its vessels would be operational for the first half of the fiscal.The company has recently received a one-year contract for Seamec II, though at lower rates, while it has also received a two-month contract for Seamec Princess, starting May 15, 2009.Going forward, in the wake of lowering global exploration and production (E&P) capital expenditure (capex), the deployment of assets would also be achallenge.There is no dry-docking expected for any of its vessels in CY2009, while dry-docking for Seamec I is due in CY2010.For CY2010, Seamec I is likely to go for dry-docking, while currently the company has contract only for Seamec II, which would expire in June 2010.On the valuation front, the stock appears to be trading at an extremely attractive valuations. The valuation is particularly attractive given the companys strong return ratios and debt-free status.Moreover, at the end of CY2008, the company had cash on books to the tune of Rs63.5 crore, which works out to Rs18.7 per share.Further, on the back of strong performance,I expect excellent cash inflows for the company,In a nutshell,seamec merits an investment at lower levels.
