If You Like EPS Growth Then Check Out Dynemic Products (NSE:DYNPRO) Before It's Too Late
Some have more dollars than sense, they say, so even companies that have no revenue, no profit, and a record of falling short, can easily find investors. And in their study titled Who Falls Prey to the Wolf of Wall Street?' Leuz et. al. found that it is 'quite common' for investors to lose money by buying into 'pump and dump' schemes.
So if you're like me, you might be more interested in profitable, growing companies, like Dynemic Products (NSE:DYNPRO). While profit is not necessarily a social good, it's easy to admire a business that can consistently produce it. Loss-making companies are always racing against time to reach financial sustainability, but time is often a friend of the profitable company, especially if it is growing.

How Quickly Is Dynemic Products Increasing Earnings Per Share?
If you believe that markets are even vaguely efficient, then over the long term you'd expect a company's share price to follow its earnings per share (EPS). Therefore, there are plenty of investors who like to buy shares in companies that are growing EPS. As a tree reaches steadily for the sky, Dynemic Products's EPS has grown 19% each year, compound, over three years. If the company can sustain that sort of growth, we'd expect shareholders to come away winners.
One way to double-check a company's growth is to look at how its revenue, and earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins are changing. Not all of Dynemic Products's revenue last year was revenue from operations, so keep in mind the revenue and margin numbers I've used might not be the best representation of the underlying business. Dynemic Products maintained stable EBIT margins over the last year, all while growing revenue 25% to ₹2.2b. That's a real positive.
The chart below shows how the company's bottom and top lines have progressed over time. For finer detail, click on the image.
Since Dynemic Products is no giant, with a market capitalization of ₹7.3b, so you should definitely check its cash and debt before getting too excited about its prospects.
Are Dynemic Products Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders?
Like that fresh smell in the air when the rains are coming, insider buying fills me with optimistic anticipation. This view is based on the possibility that stock purchases signal bullishness on behalf of the buyer. However, insiders are sometimes wrong, and we don't know the exact thinking behind their acquisitions.
The good news for Dynemic Products shareholders is that no insiders reported selling shares in the last year. So it's definitely nice that Vimla Patel bought ₹2.8m worth of shares at an average price of around ₹465.
And the insider buying isn't the only sign of alignment between shareholders and the board, since Dynemic Products insiders own more than a third of the company. Actually, with 44% of the company to their names, insiders are profoundly invested in the business. I'm reassured by this kind of alignment, as it suggests the business will be run for the benefit of shareholders. With that sort of holding, insiders have about ₹3.2b riding on the stock, at current prices. That should be more than enough to keep them focussed on creating shareholder value!
Does Dynemic Products Deserve A Spot On Your Watchlist?
For growth investors like me, Dynemic Products's raw rate of earnings growth is a beacon in the night. The cranberry sauce on the turkey is that insiders own a bunch of shares, and one has been buying more. So it's fair to say I think this stock may well deserve a spot on your watchlist. We should say that we've discovered 3 warning signs for Dynemic Products that you should be aware of before investing here.
There are plenty of other companies that have insiders buying up shares. So if you like the sound of Dynemic Products, you'll probably love this free list of growing companies that insiders are buying.
