STRENGTHS
Pidilite's main strength is their strong marketing/ advertising skills. • Fevicol is an immensely strong brand. It is so strong that anything that has a prefix 'Fevi' to it sells without any effort by the shopkeeper. • Pidilite earns 50% plus revenues from adhesives segment (Fevicol, M-Seal etc) whose brands have excellent recall value.


WEAKNESSES
• The management seems to be a bit overconfident
about their advertising skills. • Pidilite seems to have strong R&D capabilities when it comes to adhesives and home construction/care. But for the rest, they seem to depend on acquisitions. • Pidilite has grown its net profit at only 18% CAGR in the past 10 years.

OPPORTUNITIES
• One can see signs of '3M of India' in Pidilite. And 3M is a $60 billion company. Pidilite can become a 'big' company if things go well. • Growth in the retail sector in India is a positive for Pidilite, especially the future growth of home specific stores like Home Town and Home Stop.

THREATS
• 50% of their revenues are from adhesives/sealants and the raw material for this is petrochemicals which in turn is dependant on crude oil prices. • There is obviously a threat from the asli 3M and small scale industries. Most of products made by Pidilite doesn't require a nuclear reactor.
