Three M Paper: Packaging Up Amid E-Commerce Boom
On November 20, Three M Paper Boards promoters inched up by 0.01%, maintaining their ironclad 70% grip. Shares trade around ₹60-70, a steal for a firm churning out 108,000 MT of eco-friendly boards annually—perfect for the packaging surge tied to online retail and FMCG. Founded in 1989, Three M has quietly scaled from 72,000 TPA capacity, riding waves like sustainable sourcing mandates.
Q2 whispers point to steady demand from pharma and food sectors, with sales growth at 7% CAGR over five years. No dividends yet, but repeated profits (₹10 crore last FY) and zero debt scream reinvestment mode. This buy? A vote for e-comm's endless boxes—expect 15-20% upside if festive sales spill into 2026.
Usha Martin: Heavy Lifting in Wires and Ropes
November 19's standout: Usha Martin promoters snapped up a chunky 0.41% stake, lifting their hold to 41.12%. At ₹448, the stock's up 19% YTD, fueled by wire ropes for mining, cranes, and oil rigs—essentials in India's infra binge. A global exporter with plants in Jharkhand, Usha's Q2 transcript (November 10) teased strong order books, with exports at 14% of mix.
Rajeev Jhawar's 1.25 million share "gift" (effectively a buy) underscores family commitment. P/E at 33 feels premium, but 42% promoter skin-in-game and ₹620 targets by 2030 justify it. For infra bulls, this is your anchor—robust, recession-resistant, ready to climb.
TV Today Network: Broadcasting a Comeback Signal
In media's choppy waters, TV Today Network (TVTODAY) promoters boosted by 4% on November 19—the biggest splash here. Shares at ₹141 reflect a 58.45% promoter fortress, owning channels like Aaj Tak amid digital ad rebounds. Q1 sales dipped 37% to ₹197 crore on ad slumps, but live events and regional expansions (like Hindi news dominance) are rebounding.
This mega-buy screams undervaluation—dividend yield at 2.05%, peers like Zee at higher multiples. With elections and IPL on horizon, viewership spikes could double revenue. Risky for ad-cyclicals, but a promoter flex this size? It's prime-time confidence.

Peers like Deepak Nitrite trade richer, but Yash's export tilt to Bangladesh/Vietnam adds edge. This buy feels like color on canvas—vibrant, undervalued, with 20%+ potential if textile exports hum.
Cords Cable: Wiring Up Infrastructure Gains
