WHY YOU SHOULD BUY GOIL SHARES BEFORE FIRST QUARTER 2015. For quite a time now I have taken the stress upon myself to extensively scrutinize all shares listed on the stock exchange , all in the name of seeking alpha for my portfolio. My relentless effort in search of undervalued companies with strong earning fundamentals engendered the stock named GOIL, listed on the GSE. The rational for choosing this great company is listed below. STRONG GROWTH PROSPECTS: The current macro-economic variables bodes well for petroleum distribution companies in general, with the incessant power shortages undauntedly looming , it’s obvious that many productive economics activities will increase their consumption for oil to compensate for inadequate electricity. In fact gasoline percentage share of the national energy demand will surge in the upcoming years due to inefficient power supply. Secondly the expansion of Goil market share in lucrative and unregulated industries such as aviation and fuel bunkering indicates that the company’s future prospects are great, after all apart from VIP BUS what other means can the high income earners travel to Kumasi /Takoradi in order to broker their deals safely and timely? Aviation. Currently Goil has a 3year compounded Sales growth rate of 33.3% which shadows the revenue performance of all listed non-financial stocks on the GSE. RETURN TO INCREASING PROFITABILITY: do you know that Goil was experiencing a decline in profitability? Yes for almost three good years beginning 2009-2012 Goil’s profitability measured with net profit margins kept tumbling from a high of 1.4% t0 1.18%. Currently, this company boasts of a profitability margin of 1.78% (evidenced in their third quarter 2014financial report), this indeed manifest that the company is not only increasing growth but rather churning more profit out of every single sales they make. Furthermore EPS growth for the past three years has shown an astronomical surge, displaying a compounded growth rate of 35%. This indeed is a great news, we have a company growing earning faster than sales which postulates that its really increasing its operational efficiency. ATTRACTIVE VALUATIONS: Am personally of the view that this stock is currently undervalued and should experience a price surge coming early part first quarter, firstly the P/E ratio is unjustifiable relative to the industry’s P/E ratio which hovers around 16. Secondly the third quarter results of Goil shows an increase in sales of GHC 1.1billion with an EPS of 0.079 for third quarter only. From the historical total leverage of 0.45 its clear that GOILs end of year sales will hit the region of GHC 1.6 billion , this will push end of period earning per share to 0.1145 which is almost 8% above the consensus end of year estimate of 0.105.Therefore applying a P/E ratio of 12 ,which is a fraction of what its peer rival TOTAL company is trading for, will results in a price of 0.1145*12= GHC 1.38 , this is a 31.4% surge in price if bought at today’s price of GHC 1.05. THANK YOU. DISCLAIMER : THOUGH THE EARNING PER SHARE ESTIMATE IS THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED BASED ON HISTORICAL THIRD TO FINAL YEAR REPORT ANALYSIS , IT SOMETIMES DO CHANGE EXPECIALLY WHEN MANAGEMENT DECIDED TO ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES. IF MANAGEMENT DOESN’T ISSUE EXTRA SHARES THEN EXPECT A PRICE SURGE EARLY PART NEXT YEAR THANK YOU.
