SumanSpeaks Capital Markets & Geopolitical Intelligence · Estd 2006 Business Transformation SEPC Ltd: The Market Sees an Order. It's Missing a Revolution. It's a Business Model Coup. Mining now makes up 41% of SEPC's standalone order book. A zero-cash acquisition is opening the door to ADNOC-grade oil & gas consultancy in the Middle East. Individually, these look like two good pieces of news. Put together, they describe a company quietly rebuilding what it actually is. Markets often react to the size of an order. They rarely ask whether that order signals a transformation in the business itself. SEPC's ₹3,300 crore Rampur Batura coal mining contract looked, at first glance, like another healthy addition to an already-growing order book. Read differently, it looks like something more interesting: an early marker of SEPC Ltd (...

Star mulls print media foray Shuchi Bansal & Raghuvir Badrinath
STAR India, a wholly owned subsidiary of STAR Hong Kong, is exploring the possibilities of getting into the print media business in India. Last week, top STAR executives including STAR Hong Kong CEO Paul Aiello, STAR India CEO Uday Shankar and COO Jagdish Kumar were in Bangalore for meetings with possible joint venture partners for the print foray. The company is said to be in talks with Vijay Mallya's UB Group. When contacted, Shankar said: "We do not comment on rumours." Ravi Nedungani, president and CFO of the UB group, denied the news. However, media industry sources said STAR has been exploring opportunities in the print media space for a while, especially after Shankar, a former journalist, became the head of its Indian operations. He's learnt to have told press persons earlier that newspapers is a very exciting business, though currently it is restrictive in India. Foreign direct investment in the print media is capped at 26 per cent. STAR can bring in foreign titles from its parent News Corporation, which owns nearly 40 newspapers in Australia, the UK, the US and Fiji, including The Times in the UK and Wall Street Journal in the US. STAR's prospective foray could heat up the battle in the Rs 9,000 crore print media space in India since Network 18, the Raghav Bahl-promoted broadcasting company, is also getting ready to launch Pearson's business daily Financial Times in India. Mallya owned Vijay TV, which was sold to UTV and later acquired by STAR India. He also had a stake in Asian Age which he later sold off.

WINNING STROKES: THINK DIFFERENT: Please STOP investing in companies by simply looking at their past quarterly/annual results. More quickly you do away with this BAD habit, the better it will be for your investment philosophy. Please remember a debt free company (zero liability) which is closed, has tremendous value, unlike what an Old Analyst from Bombay is trying to make us understand. How will the markets behave today??
