Keep UPL in your portfolio for long term returns: Deven Choksey, KR Choksey Securities(8 AUG 2013)

Deven Choksey: The growth the company has been planning and implementing is keeping us active on here. At the same time, there are many new products which are coming up from the agrochemicals side, which would resist a smarter growth not only in India but also in the other parts of the world where they are exporting. From that perspective, we believe that this company could be on a volume led growth and expansion going forward.

(soruce:-economic times)

Jain Irrigation, Advanta, UPL to buy in small cap space: Deven Choksey(20,May 2014) UPL, with the kind of capacity expansion they have, could easily offer 25% to 30% kind of a CAGR growth as far as their earnings are concerned in coming period. So companies the agri perspective we like to hold into the portfolio.

Analyst opinion on UPL performance.

Amit Murarka, at Deutsche Bank equity research estimate says that the company will have 13 per cent annual growth in revenue and 17 per cent annual growth in EPS over FY12-15E, driven by its strong presence in the key emerging markets of India and Latin America (in particular Brazil),” The analyst also mentioned that the company, through its twin acquisitions in Brazil last year, was well positioned to benefit from rising demand for generic agrochemicals in developing markets, which have emerged as the key driver of global agrochemical sales.
