Buy Gitanjali Gems for long term: S Chabria

Sanjay Chabria, Equity Analyst & Investment Consultant is of the view that one can buy Gitanjali Gems with long term perspective.

Chabria told CNBC-TV18, "Gitanjali Gems is an integrated diamond and jewellery manufacturer with some very good brands like Nakshatra, D'damas, Gili and Asmi. Over the last few years the company has developed world class scale in jewellery manufacturing. The company presently operates in two business segments, cut and polish diamonds and branded jewellery and retail. Going forward the company’s revenue mix is likely to tilt in favour of branded jewellery, which has higher margins and higher value additions."

He further added, "In terms of financials, for the half-year ended September 2008, the company has posted a net profit of Rs 90 crore of net sales of Rs 2,500 crore. So for FY09 the company is likely to report an EPS of around 23 and for FY08 the EPS was around rupees Rs 19. In terms of valuations the stock trades around 3.5 times FY08 earnings at around 2.8 times expected FY09 earnings. The stock appears as a good long-term buy."
