Lately, you all might have seen that I am buying some publishing businesses such as Jagran Prakashan, Just Dial while I was already holding Hindustan Media Ventures. The valuation of these companies are given below in the table
If you check the history of many of the companies, Jagran Prakashan (who owns Dainik Jagran) did a buyback at INR 195 for 292.5 Crore and share price is now at INR 125. On the day of buyback validity, the share price was at INR 160. Jagran also owns another listed company Music Broadcast which owns 91.1 FM - Radio City. Surprisingly, Music Broadcast is also doing buyback. DB Corp (who owns Dainik Bhaskar) announced a buyback at INR 340 for 312.5 Crore while the current price is INR 237. Just Dial is an internet based business for finding local businesses (Yelp of India). It also has approved buy-back at INR 800 for 220 Crore. I am not sure why at one side market is evaluating cash-rich companies like these generating decent cash flow at ridiculously low valuations while some others are trading at 75-100 times cash flow such as Dabur, Honeywell, Berger Paints, Page Industries, Jubilant Food and many others. Time will tell whether I am right or the market.
