Auto Ancillaries - simplified:

If Automobile sales go up, the sales reported by auto ancillary companies are more than that. The reason being many of the auto ancillary companies are original equipment manufacturers (OEM) for these automobile companies. Hence the growth of automobiles can be captured much more efficiently by investing in auto ancillary companies.
Here are a few to keep track:
·         BOSCH :
o   It is India’s largest auto ancillary company
o   It is a subsidiary of German MNC Robert Bosch GmbH
o   Bosch grew 14% in FY16 Q4 whereas it’s profits (PAT) grew 31%
o   This is due to decrease in raw material prices etc
·         Motherson Sumi (MSSL)
o   It is India’s 2nd largest auto ancillary company
o   It is a subsidiary of Japanese company
o   Its Domestic sales grew 14% in FY 16 (Talking of growth in a recessionary environment !)
o   Standalone revenue grew 14% while its consolidated PAT grew 22%
·         Minda Industries
o   It is a mid sized auto ancillary company
o   It manufactures switches for two wheeler and three wheeler
o   In FY16, its net sales grew 31% while its operating profit grew 114%.
o   Its PAT stood at 42.55 Cr (two times more than its previous year)
·         FIEM Industries
o   It manufactures automotive lighting
o   Its sales grew 24%, whereas it PAT grew 45%

Auto component industry’s revenue is expected to increase by 8.5% to 10% in FY 2017. It is time investors hang on to some of these good quality companies.
