But spotting a discount on Dalal Street is less obvious and more complicated. Since the time of Benjamin Graham, the gurus of value investing have tried various ways to identify stocks that are trading at a discount to their actual value. When you buy a share with a tremendous growth potential, you are a growth investor. Value investing is different, and involves picking out shares that are priced below their intrinsic value. It's a contrarian strategy because it requires investors to embrace unloved stocks. "When you practice value investing, you are not jumping on to the bandwagon. You stand alone," says Sankaran Naren, CIO of ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund. But swimming against the tide can prove enormously rewarding for the simple reason that you buy good stocks at beaten down prices. "Since you buy at a low price, the probability of loss of capital is lower," says Atul Kumar, Head of Equities, Quantum Mutual Fund. Our cover story this week looks at this hugely successful albeit contrarian investing strategy. We put the 200 stocks in the S&P BSE 200 index through 10 filters. With the application of each filter, some stocks dropped out. In the end we were left with just 14 scrips. Of these 14 stocks, we have looked in detail at the fundamentals of the 10 scrips most recommended by analysts. Value versus price The pricetoearnings (PE) and pricetobook value (PBV) ratios are favourite tools of value investors. But a low PE or PBV alone does not make a value stock. In fact, such stocks could well be value traps. "Many PSU banks, leveraged enterprises and real estate companies are trading below their book value. They are not value stocks but value traps," says Nilesh Shah, Managing Director of Kotak Mutual Fund. This is why no PSU bank made it to our final list. On the other hand, a quality stock at a high price is also not a good investment. That is why we have eliminated all companies with a PE of more than 20 and a PBV of more than 5. BPCL, along with other public sector oil marketing companies, stands to benefit from the government's decontrol of diesel prices. The resultant subsidy reduction on oil products will reduce its working capital requirement and its interest cost. Since international crude oil prices have now stabilised, there should not be any inventory losses in the coming quarters. What makes BPCL unique, however, is its exposure to foreign upstream oil assets—in Brazil and Mozambique. Though the counter suffered when crude oil prices of the Brent variety crashed from $115 dollars a barrel to less than $40 a barrel, the recent recovery is helping BPCL.
