Alufluoride CMP 103- A Safe & High Potential Multibagger

Alufluoride Ltd (AL) is a producer of high-quality Aluminium Fluoride (ALF3) chemicals with its plant located at Vizag, Andhrapradesh.
Aluminum Fluoride is added as a flux in the process of primary Aluminium Production. This is of critical importance as it lowers electricity consumption during the smelting process. Consequently, primary Aluminium Smelters are the biggest users of ALF3. Alufluoride is the only Company producing high-purity Aluminium Fluoride having a technology association with Alusuisse, Switzerland. This technology facilitates the conversion of Fluorine effluents from Phosphatic Fertilizer Complex into Hydrofluosilicic Acid and then to Aluminium Fluoride- (Waste to Wealth)

Aluminum Fluoride – a high purity, free-flowing and dust-free powder, is produced with modern technology by reacting dry Alumina Hydrate with Hydro-fluosilicic acid, generated from the fluorine recovery unit of the fertilizer complex. Fluorine gases, otherwise an affluent are scrubbed with water to produce Hydro-fluosilicic acid – thus converting “Waste Into Wealth”.

POSITIVES
1. Company Enjoys Debtfree Status.
2. Attractive Valuations: Company is currently Trading at 11 Times FY18 and 7 Times FY19.

1.Though Raw Material Constraints are eased due to their 20 Year Contract, it could be problematic if any adverse Raw Material availability Scenario prevails as the company historically suffered through the same before the contract signed.
2. Currently Chinese Environmental Policy and their production cut on polluting industries like Aluminum Fluoride are acting as a tailwind for the company, any adverse change in this scenario can impact margins of the company due to a drop in Aluminum Fluoride Prices.

MY TAKE
Alufluoride is a Niche Specialty Chemical Company with High Entry barriers. It has huge potential for its products from Aluminium Industry and possible demand from Lithium-Ion Batteries (Still in the research stage- Aluminium Fluoride as New Cathode). With just 14% Of Indian ALFL3, Demand is produced in India, there is huge room for Import substitution, Its Debt-Free Status, Capex Becoming Operational, Very Low Equity, Cash Rich status Makes this Company a Bargain Hunt at Current Valuations.
The journey for Alufluoride is yet to begin. This stock can immensely reward its investors. Shareholders who give this stock adequate time and display patience can well get to see the levels of 250-300,400.
