Very very interesting chart on what SYRMA wants to do in coming time

The company imports 60% of its material requirements, which exposes it to foreign exchange fluctuation risk. While part of the forex exposure is naturally hedged from exports (about 25% of the total revenue), the company takes three months forwards to cover part of the open exposure and is able to pass on the impact of foreign exchange fluctuation to customers to some extent, any major forex fluctuation can impact the margins.

Time to time changes in technology may impact business in short term

Intensive working capital nature of business may need consistent cash flows

No positions as of now. From January to March we have gradually reduced from 8 to 6 to 4 to 3 positions and did not add new ones. It really helped in this fall from Positional portfolio perspective
