Moving Average Convergence-Divergence (MACD)
As it name implies the MACD is all about convergence and divergence of two moving averages.
Convergence occurs when the moving averages move towards each other. Divergence occurs when the
moving averages move away from each other. The shorter moving average (12-day) is faster and
responsible for most MACD movements. The longer moving average (26-day) is slower and less reactive
to price changes in the underlying security.
The MACD Line oscillates above and below the zero line, which is also known as the centerline. These
crossovers signal that the 12-day EMA has crossed the 26-day EMA. The direction, of course, depends on
direction of the moving average cross. Positive MACD indicates that the 12-day EMA is above the 26-
day EMA. Positive values increase as the shorter EMA diverges further from the longer EMA. This
means upside momentum is increasing. Negative MACD values indicate that the 12-day EMA is below
the 26-day EMA. Negative values increase as the shorter EMA diverges further below the longer EMA.
This means downside momentum is increasing.
MACD: -1.53 and Signal Line: -1.55. No trend identified using macd analysis.
Fundamental Analysis
Economic Analysis
Over 90% of fruits, vegetables and milk are still consumed fresh. But there
is disparity in the quality and prices of food items available across regions.
Also, a lot of these items are seasonally available, hence no uniformity in
quality and prices.
Supply Abundant supply of vital foods. The industry faces over
supply in certain segments . However, more than half of
this is available in unpacked or loose form, thus benefiting
only the unorganized sector. segment enjoys high
penetration even in rural areas. Supply is higher because of
unorganized sector (bidis).
Demand Processed food demand is growing at 10%-15% per annum.
Growth of dual income households has given rise to
demand for instant foods, especially in urban areas.
Tobacco demand is largely inelastic. Demand growth is
pegged at 4%-6% for cigarettes.
Barriers to
entry
Huge investments in promoting brands and setting up
distribution networks. Punitive taxation policies of
government in case of tobacco.
Bargaining
power of
suppliers
Many established players have a slight edge in bargaining
power. However, for commodities , companies are
dependent on the
integrated backwards and have their own supply chains.
Therefore, the bargaining power of suppliers is not high.
Bargaining
power of
customers
High as a result of intense competition both among branded
and unbranded products. As consumption is more or less a
habit, the bargaining power of consumers is only to the
extent of choice of brand.
Competition The competition takes place mainly on basis of product
quality. However, in a bid to increase penetration of new
products, companies often compete on pricing and by
offering discounts and freebies.

Beta: Beta of a stock is defined as sensitivity of a stock with respect to market or index. Here
beta of a stock is calculated with respect to NIFTY. Beta of ADF is 0.954 which means 1% rise
or fall in nifty would result in 0.954 % rise or fall in ADF on average.
Beta indicates the stock's correlation with the market index and cautions on the risk associated
with it. Stocks with beta more than 1 will outperform markets (on average) if market goes up but
at the same time they have huge potential for losses if market goes down. Investors with less risk
appetite should stick with low-beta stocks.
Confidence in Beta: Since beta calculation is a statistical process, we associate a confidence
with beta which tells us about the relevance of beta of calculated. According to the statistical
processes involved, beta with a confidence of 13.6 % or more can be trusted. Here CIB is less
than 13.5% so; it is not much trusted stock.

Industry analysis
Rising income levels: The average real per capita income growth in India rose from 3.3% during
the Ninth Plan (1997-2002) to 6.1% during the Tenth Plan (2002-2007). Growing affluence and
higher spending capacity provides a huge opportunity for the food services sector.
Growth of middle class: India has the presence of a strong 300 m middle class population. This
is roughly equal to the population of US, the country with the third largest population in the
world. The middle class has been the largest patron of the food services industry and the increase
in the middle class is expected to lead to its growth.
Younger population: Over 65% of India's population is below 35 years of age. A majority of
this age group eats out. An increase in this population segment provides opportunity for the
growth of the foods segment industry.
Rising urbanization: On an average, the spending on eating out in Tier 1 and Tier 2 towns is
double that of Tier 3 towns. With 29% of India’s population residing in urban centers and
growing fast, higher spending on eating out is expected to benefit the industry.
SWOT Analysis
Strengths
The company engaged in the business of marketing food and food ingredients to
Consumers and institutional customers.
The company is affiliated to ConAgra Foods Inc. of USA, which is one the world’s
largest food companies.
Sundrop is the largest brand in the premium segment of the refined oil consumer
Packs
Weakness
These prices vary on factors like good monsoons, weather conditions, demand and supply
scenario, foreign exchange fluctuations and government policy both at domestic and
international level.
Opportunities
In the Edible Oils category the Company continued to work on the increasing health
consciousness of the Indian consumer and significantly increased the distribution and
display of Sundrop while supporting the brand with a higher level of media investments.
In the Snacks Category the Company continued its focus on ACT II Popcorn, through
sustained national media presence for the brand, significant increase in retail distribution
and increasing awareness of the category.
Favorable government policies will ensure that the organized edible oil industry grows
significantly.
The biggest opportunity is the consolidation that is taking place in the edible oil industry;
as leaders and organized players, the company is set to gain most from this consolidation
Threats
A macro threat is that of vegetable oil seeds being diverted for non-food production like
bio-fuel and other alternate energy.
Rising crude oil prices and volatility in international prices are the other sources of
concern. Macro economic and global issues like inflation, recession, political and social
upheavals, in adequate or excessive rainfall, acts of God and nature will have an effect on
the industry as a whole

Industry Analysis
Rising income levels: The average real per capita income growth in India rose from 3.3% during
the Ninth Plan (1997-2002) to 6.1% during the Tenth Plan (2002-2007). Growing affluence and
higher spending capacity provides a huge opportunity for the food services sector.
Growth of middle class: India has the presence of a strong 300 m middle class population. This
is roughly equal to the population of US, the country with the third largest population in the
world. The middle class has been the largest patron of the food services industry and the increase
in the middle class is expected to lead to its growth.
Younger population: Over 65% of India's population is below 35 years of age. A majority of
this age group eats out. An increase in this population segment provides opportunity for the
growth of the foods segment industry.
Rising urbanization: On an average, the spending on eating out in Tier 1 and Tier 2 towns is
double that of Tier 3 towns. With 29% of India’s population residing in urban centers and
growing fast, higher spending on eating out is expected to benefit the industry.

Key investment and impact
Of the proposed four units, according to ATFL chief executive officer Sachin Gopal, the
peanut butter manufacturing facility coming up in Gujarat would be the first to
commence operations.
“Right now, the civil works on the Gujarat plant are being executed. The facility will
commence commercial operations this year," Gopal told Business Standard adding that
this would enable the company to use locally sourced peanuts.
Stating that ATFL would “at least” be doubling its manufacturing capacity in a couple of
years, he said the company would expand the category of ready-to-eat (RTE) meals,
peanut butter and cooking sprays.
Net Sales and PAT of the company are expected to grow at a CAGR of 10% and 19%
over 2010 to 2013E respectively.
Agro Tech’s plan is to “move from being a commodity-centric to food-centric company
and (to be) seen as leading FMCG player. In the near term, it plans to increase its share of
food business to 25 per cent from 15 per cent as of now,” Gopal said.
As a part of this plan, apart from introducing new products in the food segment, ATFL is
targeting to have its presence in 500,000 retail stores in a year’s time as compared with
300,000 stores at present.
