Watawala Plantain - I hope it must be above Rs. 20/- right now. NAV is Rs. 18.80, Attractive PER 5.58X. EPS for the last quarter was 0.98. Good Dividend Yield 7.5%. They are the leading company in retail Tea sector with Zesta and Wawatawala Kahata. Pls refer there latest financials. Also note that I don't hold a single share. This is just my opinion.

Watawala making money from oil palm business. Last quarter 90% earned from palm oil. Not tea. Wait till another quarter to compare the progress.

As I said before in a major uptrend there will be opportunity in almost all the sectors. This stock stagnated around Rs.10 despite some good results. Why do we see demand for this stock now? It is due to present market situation. Even other plantations stocks also have appreciated at different levels. Recently there were break out for UDPL. Now market players have identified value of that stock too. I believe other plantation stocks also will have rally sooner than later due to great value. On valuations plantation stocks should go up. In additions sector trend is up. Enjoy you trend. Now it is time for food and healthy hot beverage stocks too. Good luck!

Nest is for dividends. The price 2,100/-.For me bit over priced (1,500/- better)

When you buy such a stock. Has to hold for long. So opportunity cost is high in this kind of a market.

In a bearish market super to hold.

As normally these shares not depreciate much compared to other stocks.

It is time to study personality of each stock in this sector. After UDPL which one has more potential to become breakout stock? Will it be MPRH or BALA? We need not to tell about MADU? It has its own personality different from others. MASK is building some large volume. Personality of BOPL is also different. TPL has systematic run. WATA had splits. During one period WATA outperformed other stocks. During rubber rally KGAL became the leader and it outperformed others. Will UDPL become leader in the group this time? We have to wait and see. BTW I bought few HAPU today. Hard to find stocks at lower levels. ELPL is another star. KOTA MAL, NAMU,AGAL, KAHA and HOPL also have their own rally. Where to do we find great value like this? Good luck!

2nd QTR PAT only Rs.32Mn dwn by 64% against same QTR last year.For some reason their cost of sales increased by whooping 46%.

So 6M EPS 1.11 Per share.

This is hard to believe with the attractive tea prices. So tomorrow share price may fall.

Tea segment is loss. This may lead to drop plantation sector shares. Even tea prices are low compared to last quarter

Anybody understand the reason why the cost of sales increased by 46% of WATA.

Tea
Tea sector reported a gross loss of LKR 5.5 Mn for 1HFY15 compared to gross loss of LKR 131 Mn recorded in the same period last year. Net Loss before Tax stood at LKR 154 Mn compared to Net Loss of LKR 234 Mn in 1HFY14.
Overall volumes saw an increase, recording 5.29 Mn kg during 1HFY15 vs.4.33 Mn Kg in 1HFY14.

i cant 100% agree with RPPAs statement.
There s is a decline of profits compare to last quarter.
thats true.
But if we rake overall 6 months , compare to last year
profits have gone up by 164 Mn ( 166% ).
compare to last year 6 month EPS 0.41 this year 6 month EPS is 1.11.
Compare to financial statements 2014/3/31,
Current and non current liabilities have gone down.
total equity gone up and asset column gone up and
Book value has gone up from 17.82 to 18.43.

look at the net cash flow from operating activities.
period ended in 2013 sep it was 25,692 but this year
595,707.

I dont see any valid reason to fall share price.
False Alarm !
