Penny stocks are bad. Small and mid-cap stocks are high risk, high return proposition. That leaves blue-chip companies as the haven for bulk of the investors. What happens when these stocks lose value on the bourses since the companies get mired in governance issues? Investors in Sun Pharma, ICICI Bank<\/a>, IL&FS group companies, Yes Bank<\/a> and Fortis Healthcare<\/a> will identify with this predicament.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, investors can do little when large companies falter on their governance. However, before the actual faltering occurs, leading indicators of failing governance standards do manifest. Shareholders should track such indicators and stay away or exit the stock in time. Exit of the CFO or company secretary, resignation of independent directors or auditors and regulatory inspection or settlement are some obvious events that have to be scrutinised.<\/p>\n

Some governance issues can also tend to be industry-wide. For instance, almost all large pharma companies have received some adverse observations from the USFDA inspection of their facilities showing lack of observance of governance standards in manufacturing. \u201cAn example of leading indicator of failing governance is unwarranted or excessive PR around individual leaders as opposed to PR for the business or corporate entity,\u201d said Milind Sarwate, an independent director on several boards. \u201cHero worship hides bad governance, but eventually leads to disaster as checks and balances start failing\u201d. He modified a famous Jack Welch quote to say that when all in a company stay busy in applauding the promoter or CEO, they invariably lose sight of governance. \u201cInvestors dont need to overpay for a company simply because it is good on corporate governance<\/a> \u2013 and dont have to dump the stock of a company facing bad governance if it has been priced into the stock value,\u201d said Nilesh Shah of Kotak Mahindra AMC. Historically, stocks of MNCs have commanded a premium over stocks of their local peers \u2013 predominantly due to presumption of better governance and reporting standard.<\/p>\n

Shahs advice to investors is to monitor how things are changing after the governance issue is in public \u2013 is the promoter or management willing to change and how much of bad governance is priced in? Shah said that maximum value gets created when Valia becomes Valmiki \u2013 a rogue that became a saint. \u201cBut it doesnt happen automatically. It requires the investors relentlessly pushing the companys management towards the desired standard of governance\u201d.<\/p>\n

Experts believe there is a silver lining to the governance issues faced by large reputed companies in contrast to small companies. \u201cManagement quality, leverage position, working capital stress and valuation comfort are the four criteria that investors need to check in stocks\u201d said G Chokkalingam of Equinomics Research. A governance issue combining with problem in any of these parameters implies a disaster \u2013 especially in case of small & midcaps. \u201cWhen blue chip stocks with strong business fundamentals face governance issues, the tendency to recover losses in the aftermath is relatively high in the absence of issues in case of the basic parameters,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
