Tata Motors Limited (ADR) (NYSE:TTM)

india is bound to get its act together.

quick evaluation...this companies shares outstanding are sky rocketing ..... horrible. net profit margin is 0.1%???? so seemingly hanging on for dear life to stay afloat?? feel free to comment on info i only did a quick evaluation but on those 2 things id run like hell from here. oh and recent tax rate was low = didnt profit enough for regular tax rate???

India is a growing market. TTM also snatched up some popular brands (although God only knows why anyone would buy a Jaguar) at rock bottom prices.

Fuel efficiency in non-luxury brands, increasing sales, widely diversified (both in vehicle types and geographic markets), and a good dividend make this stock a definite long-term buy.

They make the cheapest car imaginable. Once people get past the fact that they are lame every student will want one. Also, as the third world starts to advance this is the first cars that will be bought by the emerging middle class.

I was very fortunate to purchase TTM during the 2008 down-turn. This company has turned what was once consiedered down-trodden luxury brands (Jag and Land Rover) and turn them into profitable subsidiearies. They are continuously expaning their sales in all areas of vehicle sales (Car, Trucks, Light & Heavy Commercial) in their home country as well as abroad. They are gaining a strong foothold in China and are already considered a major global competitor to the likes of Ford.

Here's the kicker, they did all of this during a global recession and in the midsnt of a panicked finanical market. Imagine what they can do over the next four years when financial institutions stabilize...

I outline my bull philosophy here:

...and TTM's global diversity here:

Seems safe to sneak back into this Indian automotive powerhouse. Between the Jaguar and the little Nano, they cover the full range of social class consumer. TTM is also looking to move out into Indonesia, Thailand, and Burma. However, India is not their game preserve - other competitors will challenge them in their homeland.

Good company, but the overall India market is having a downturn.

TATA motors who woulda thunk it! The fiat of India

Worlds 3rd largest auto producer .Good management.Millions of opportunities .well diversified.High beta. Wait for correctionWhen it is going sky is limit

With the economic growth that there is in India the middle class will only continue to grow and will begin to consume more goods such as Tata's affordable cars. On a per capita basis car ownership in India is very low. According to Nationmaster.com India's rates are near the bottom of the list of nations with countries such as Sierra Leone and Haiti sharing the same rate. If sustainable rates of growth are to be believed then Tata Motors should be a profitable beneficiary well into the future.

Tata has it together! A winner!

you would expect a stock with this kind of growt potential to have a p/e in the single digit zone? it has surged well over 50% from last year's low notwithstanding, add to it that it is just confirming how anything Ratan Tata touches turs into gold.
I'd would say that the odds are eavily stacked against the bears here, eavily!

Selling at 5X 2010 CF. New Jaguar models coming up.

TTM with the acquisition of Jaguar and Range rover promises a good investment for a long haul. Its auo sale in December 2011 surpassed the threshold of 100K.

India the sleepy giant is growing and the Nano will drive that growth. lol

Lots of people in India. The stock is almost at the 52-week low.
