TwoCitiesCapital Posted Thursday at 03:52 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:52 PM (edited) Given the 7-8% pop in the last week I suppose we either now have to believe that somehow a Trump presidency somehow improves the IPO chances and valuation of BIAL in India OR The discount has always been about sentiment. Not fees. Not performance. Not discounting IP0 chances. Sentiment. And only sentiment and sentiment is changing.

Hard to believe the share price was $17-18 in October 2017, talk about one extreme to another. But I think that despite being up 15% in the last 2 months, it's still a great deal, at 0.72x book, with a book value that is probably understated in the first place. Requires patience. My biggest holding in terms of percentage of the company owned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SafetyinNumbers Posted Thursday at 05:57 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:57 PM They kept the language about best efforts for the Anchorage IPO by September 2025. I don’t think it would be that surprising if someone in India had an informational edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it would be that surprising if someone in India had an informational edge. There is also a situation progressing where Bangalore needs to start on the second airport before Kempegowda's exclusivity period expires so most likely Anchorage will get the opportunity to develop and operate the 2nd airport on the other side of town. Airport City development plus traffic roaring back to above pre-COVID peak. Got some good stuff cooking The potential large bank deal looks like a 2025 announcement. I'm OK not winning that one.

giulio Posted Thursday at 07:55 PM Share Posted Thursday at 07:55 PM And it is still VERY cheap! Probably their 50+% stake in BIAL covers today's market cap of $2.2B. Get the rest for free. Btw I just read some Marval fund letters and surely Ben Watsa shares his father optimism re: India and the investment opportunities there. Worth a read!

Junior R Posted Friday at 02:05 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:05 PM (edited) I think I know why this jumped yesterday Quote Celebrating +5 yrs of the Marval Guru Fund! Our 5yr 21.9% net CAGR (as of Sept. 30, 2024) ranks 6th among >3,000 institutional funds in hashtag#Canada which is a testament to hashtag#India. Deep gratitude to people of India, our clients, and team. Quote The Fund's five-year net compound annual returns of 21.9% means that invested capital doubled approximately every three and a half years. The Fund is currently the only India-focused fund in Canada with such a strong track record. In an investment world that often focuses on short-term gains and frequent trading, Marval has demonstrated the Fund's long-term, buy-and-hold investment strategy remains highly effective. marval-capital-s-india-focused-fund-with-169-total-net-return-over-5-years-outperforms-global-competitors Edited Friday at 02:06 PM by Junior R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This2ShallPass Posted Saturday at 02:15 AM Share Posted Saturday at 02:15 AM (edited) Is that Fairfax India making a move? Wow finally On 11/7/2024 at 9:57 AM, SafetyinNumbers said: I don’t think it would be that surprising if someone in India had an informational edge. Doubt it, the timing is an election driven rally, probably tied to Trumps' pro India messages (we all know he'll flip on a dime, but will take the 8% pop!).

This one is mostly done, the optics of a Canadian company winning one of the high profile deals will be too much for Modi govt. I'm also ok with not winning this one, too big for FFI.
