13. Jain Irrigation, Advanta, UPL to buy in small cap space: Deven
Choksey(20,May 2014) UPL, with the kind of capacity expansion they
have, could easily offer 25% to 30% kind of a CAGR growth as far as their
earnings are concerned in coming period. So companies the agri
perspective we like to hold into the portfolio.
Keep UPL in your portfolio for long term returns: Deven Choksey, KR
Choksey Securities(8 AUG 2013)
Deven Choksey: The growth the company has been planning and
implementing is keeping us active on here. At the same time, there are many
new products which are coming up from the agrochemicals side, which would
resist a smarter growth not only in India but also in the other parts of the
world where they are exporting. From that perspective, we believe that this
company could be on a volume led growth and expansion going forward.

Amit Murarka, at Deutsche Bank equity research estimate says that the company
will have 13 per cent annual growth in revenue and 17 per cent annual growth
in EPS over FY12-15E, driven by its strong presence in the key emerging
markets of India and Latin America (in particular Brazil),” The analyst also
mentioned that the company, through its twin acquisitions in Brazil last year,
was well positioned to benefit from rising demand for generic agrochemicals in
developing markets, which have emerged as the key driver of global
agrochemical sales.
