The Final Relaxo Lecture – by Sanjay Bakshi
My BFBV course @ MDI got over in January 2014. One of the
highlights of the course was a live case on Relaxo Footwear, a company in which
I am invested. The case was initiated at the beginning of the course. On 15
September 2013, I posted a mail (The
Relaxo Cinderella Project) to my students about the company. At the time,
the stock price of the company was Rs 144 (on a 5:1 split adjusted basis).
Then, on 22 September 2013, my friend Ravi Purohit and I
gave a joint lecture on the company (The
Relaxo Lecture) in which we explained our investment thesis. At the time,
the stock was quoting at Rs 150.
Finally, I spoke about the company again in my class on 10
January 2014. By that time, Relaxo’s stock price had increased to Rs 224. As I
write this, it now stands at Rs 254.
In this note, I am reproducing from my memory what I spoke
on my 10 January class with some updated thoughts on the subject.
