Why Holding Companies Trade at a Discount? Holding Company Discount

I am using TIC as a mutual fund with excellent management and low expense ratio.

Shankar Nath Sir, Thank You for bringing such topics and sharing the knowledge amongst us. You provide knowledge like no other Finance KZbinr. Thank You.

[@shankarnath]

So nice of you. It's my pleasure and I'm happy to be helping you in your financial journey

[@kurienmathew5283]

Very informative, covering things in such a crystal clear way, your channel will certainly go a long way. All the best bro

[@shankarnath]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@nishanmadhavan]

Been in market for few years and was assuming i know everything. Now i am learning 2 new things every week through your videos.

[@shankarnath]

Great to hear! There's always something to learn. About 80% of the video topics I make, I have not much idea about .. and the research/scripting really cements my understanding and it is also bettering my own investing approach

[@nishanmadhavan]

Fantastic 👏 🤝.. That analogy and alternative to Aggressive Hybrid Fund in form of TIC 😅 was just too good.. Btw another can be NAUKRI, can it be?

[@shankarnath]

Thank you! Please try Infoedge India and see for yourself. Prima facie, it didnt fit into the same framework as Infoedge has a running business of its own in Naukri, 99acres & Jeevansaathi while Tata Investment Corp. is a pure holding company.

Thanks

[@shilpashah4491]

Very interesting stuff in the video. Thanx. But i haven't understood whether or not to invest in hold cos. One more video on the same topic please

[@shankarnath]

Most welcome. Well, it's a bit like politics and just like there are no permanent friends and permanent enemies -- there's never an "always buy" or "always avoid" situation in investing, metaphorically speaking. May I request you to watch this video again; there were multiple scenarios discussed here itself incl. a) level of discount, b) prospects of underlying investments, c) operations of operating holding companies and d) presence of a catalyst.

[@rohanbergkamp]

Could have covered infoedge a company which can actually sell their entire stake

[@shankarnath]

That's why I didn't cover it. Infosys is more of VC styled spawner than a traditional holding company

[@drshilpaayurveda9439]

thanks for such informative video

[@shankarnath]

Most welcome. Glad you liked it

[@raghavendraprabhu9540]

Thank you so much. I have a question. As discussed in the video, the PE ratio is insignificant in pure holding companies. What about companies like Reliance or HDFC, which have their own businesses and a medium to large controllable stake in many companies? Is the PE ratio valid in such cases

[@shankarnath]

In case of operating holding companies (Reliance, HDFC, Mahindra & Mahindra etc.), a split needs to be made on the value of operating business and value of subsidiaries. This way the real PE ratio can be figured out

[@spandansadhukhan]

One more interesting holding company is nbi industrial

[@supermansud]

One of the most difficult to analyse & monitor type of shares are Holding Companies. But, if analysed correctly, these also happen to be the most rewarding.

[@raizanumrigar2587]

[@1995Clint]

Have you had a chance to evaluate infoedge as a holding company investing in tech companies?

[@shankarnath]

No, I haven't yet .. but I will. In my view, Infoedge comes out more as a spawner (incubator/grower of businesses) rather than a classical holding company (whose job is just to invest & hold shares)

[@1995Clint]

@@shankarnath Given that nature of infoedge, won't there be a higher chance of the held companies growing faster and hence also the share price? A VC approach to holding if you will

[@shankarnath]

@@1995Clint Apologies, I don't have an answer as I haven't analysed InfoEdge, Zomato or PBFintech. May I circle back on this comment when I get around to it.

[@LearnValue]

Vardhman holding is one of them

What about Aditya Birla capital Is it pure holding company?

[@shankarnath]

No. It's an operating holding company. Kindly refer to this: www.bseindia.com/xml-data/corpfiling/AttachHis/aecb3dab-d7e4-4f7f-a3a4-97c2daf74dfa.pdf

[@RakeshSharma-ji4rf]

@@shankarnath I did not find standalone buisness of AB capital (even in this investor presentation) Every buisness is run in some subsidiary. Final results are always consolidated. It's important question because at the time of IPO of AMC buisness, AB capital shareholders didn't get anything. If in future, they list every subsidiary will we get shares? And what will be the buisness of Standalone.

[@shankarnath]

@@RakeshSharma-ji4rf 1. In that case, this is a pure holding company. The FY23 revenue (standalone) was 218 crores with a bulk of it as dividend income. 2. In FY22, AB Capital sold 2,850,880 equity shares (FV of 5 rupees) of ABSL AMC Ltd at 712 rupees a share. This was captured as income by ABSL in their P&L statement leading to a pre-tax gain of 196 crores.

[@KonkaniTraveller]

Very nice video.. You have missed one point though, what happens when the holding company actually sells all of those shares. Do they shareholders get rewarded ? There are many HCs who have taken the minority shareholders for a ride after selling all the holdings. LEEL which sold its business to Havell's never gave its investors what they deserved. Nor I have heard anything about Oscar Investment which held Ranbaxy which was then sold to Sun Pharma. Similar story is of Hinduja Global or Gwalior Chemicals who take the money and then invest into unlisted companies of promoters instead of giving it back to investors. In early 2000s, Eicher Ltd which owned majority shares in Eicher Motors Ltd.. Sadly they threw out minority shareholders by some scheme of arrangement. Hold co which invest only in promoter group companies are not worth investing at all. Even the best group can cheat minority shareholders.

[@gauravjaggi5098]

This year watch out for Sundaram HOLDING. Broken out after such a long consolidation. Rk damani holds 1.88 ℅Stake in it. Something big is coming which will lead to value unlocking

[@mozo199]

Why is Berkshire different from these lets say tata?

[@arnabbhattacharya6579]

I am holding Tata investment corp since 3 y with nice returns

[@maheshwarbanuk4389]

Holding investment company (e.g. Tata Investment Corp) vs. Promoter Holding company (e.g. Tata Sons) are different. Most holdings companies are Promoter company of the conglomerate. Some are listed but many are private (strange that privately held company can hold the majority stake in public companies). As you have said, the Promoter company is unlikely to sell its holdings unless it wants to float another company!! Only a few holding companies' returns are better than Nifty returns over the long term.
