Liquidity: two sides of it

FUNDAMENTALS

Easy liquidity is a
favourable condition
for relatively risky
assets especially
equities in general
and, within equities,
the emerging market
equities in particular. However, availability of ample liquidity at
near zero interest rates globally has its own side effects. One
of them is a relatively higher level of volatility.

June 2016

Liquidity: two sides of it


Easy liquidity is a favourable condition for relatively risky assets especially equities in general
and, within equities, the emerging market equities in particular. However, the availability of
ample liquidity at near-zero interest rates globally has its own side effects. One of them is a
relatively higher level of volatility. In the prevailing conditions, any good or bad news tends to
get quickly reflected in valuations, thereby resulting in sharp and frequent swings in the market,
pushing it from one extreme to the other, ie from extreme optimism to excessive pessimism.
The case in point is the extreme pessimism prevailing globally in the initial couple of months of
2016 driven by global uncertainties like rate hikes in the USA, the slowing Chinese economy
and the fall-out of Chinas move to devalue the yuan among other concerns. The equity markets
plummeted globally with several leading benchmark indices touching their 52-week low levels
in February and March 2016.
However, the situation has changed dramatically in the past couple of months. Equities have
recovered sharply from the lows of February and March this year. Optimism is palpable across
the key equity markets globally. Even the beaten-down commodities (especially crude oil and
metals) have pulled back sharply from the extreme distress levels seen a few months back.
Given the past experience, it would be prudent to not extrapolate and take it as a sustainable
trend for the rest of year. Umpteen times we have seen such sharp market swings only to see
them reverse quickly too. Mind you, it can happen again. Our Research team highlights a
number of events in June that could lead to higher volatility in the near term. In June, the
central banks of the USA and Japan have their scheduled monetary policy meetings. The US
central bank could look to hike interest rates (unwind its extremely loose monetary policy
followed in the past eight years) whereas the Bank of Japan is expected to take further liquidity
infusion measures to support a languishing Japanese economy. Also, the fate of the European
Union could change depending on the outcome of the referendum in the UK to decide whether
to exit or stay in the European Union.
From retail investors perspective, wild market swings highlight a basic principle of investing,
ie avoid chasing short-term market swings (or that it is futile to try and time the market). Even
seasoned market participants do get caught on the wrong side in an attempt to pre-empt such
market swings.
Thus, for a retail investor, it is better to invest systematically in a basket of carefully chosen
quality companies with a structural growth story rather than spending energy on timing the
market swings. Investment in quality businesses do generate healthy returns that are generally
in line or even higher than the reported earnings growth of the company over a longer time.
We, at Sharekhan, do offer quality advice and research products to help investors build a
quality portfolio to optimise returns (with lower volatility) from equity investments. Do get in
touch with our branches or customer service team for the same.

The rally in the Indian equity market sustained for the third
consecutive month. With a more conducive global environment
(easing concerns related to the currency war, better economic data in
the USA, stabilisation of commodity prices at higher than distress
levels) and supportive developments locally (a positive monsoon
forecast, a prudent budget followed by rate cuts by the Reserve Bank
of India, signs of revival in corporate earnings), the Indian equity
markets returns for CY2016 have turned positive and India is no
longer underperforming compared with its emerging market peers.

(though it performed better than the CNX Midcap 100 Index).


In view of the slew of events globally in June (FOMC monetary
policy review, Bank of Japans policy meet, referendum in the UK
on Brexit), we maintain our fairly conservative portfolio
composition. The only change recommended this month is the
introduction of Dhanuka Agritech (Dhanuka) in place of Tata
Consultancy Services. Dhanuka reported an impressive performance
for Q4FY2016 and should perform better this year, given the
expectation of a good monsoon. On the other hand, the sentiment
for IT stocks could be dented due to an increasing rhetoric against
outsourcing in the run-up to the presidential elections in the USA
and possible currency fluctuations in the event of a rate hike in the
USA or an unfavourable outcome of the UK referendum.

In the three-month period, the benchmark indices (Sensex, Nifty


and CNX Midcap 100) have appreciated by 15-18% each whereas
our Top Picks basket has appreciated by 20.6% in spite of the
underperformance in May compared with the Sensex and the Nifty

Remarks:  Ashok Leyland Ltd (ALL) is the second largest commercial vehicle (CV) manufacturer in India with a market share of 30% in the heavy
truck segment and an even higher share of 43% in the bus segment.
 The medium and heavy commercial vehicle (MHCV) volumes were under pressure over the past two years but have witnessed a

sustained recovery and has been growing in double digits over the past few quarters. We expect the MHCV volumes to remain buoyant
over FY2016-17 driven by a pick-up in the economic cycle, improved operator profitability, new launches and phase-wise implementation
of the Bharat Stage IV norms across the country leading to pre-buying.
 ALL has a strong presence in the exports market and continues to expand to newer geographies. The company expects the exports

contribution to be around 25% of the revenues over the next three to five years from the current level of 10%. Additionally, ALLs
defence business is expected to get a leg-up due to the governments focus on the indigenous manufacturing of defence products and
foreign direct investment (FDI) in the sector.
 ALLs operating profit margin has recovered from the lows on the back of operating leverage and price hikes taken by the company. Its

margins are expected to expand further, given the sustained demand momentum. With buoyant operating cash flows and no significant
capital expenditure planned, we expect the balance sheet to get de-leveraged and the return ratios to improve.

Remarks:  Bajaj Finance Ltd (BFL) is among the most diversified non-banking financial companies (financing of mortgages, consumer durables,
SME, rural etc) having a strong distribution network (512 branches). We believe, a strong growth in customer additions, its unique
cross-sell and up-sell capabilities, and robust growth from newer products (rural finance, lifestyle finance etc) should drive a growth of
over 25% in the assets under management.
 Despite a strong growth in loans, the asset quality remains among the best in the system (gross non-performing assets of 1.2% based

on 150-day past due [DPD] basis) which along with conservative provisioning adds to the comfort. BFL has already made provisions
based on 90-DPD basis, ahead of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)s timeline.
 We expect BFLs earnings to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 24% over FY2016-18 resulting in a return on asset (RoA)

and return on equity (RoE) of ~ 3.0% and ~20%, respectively. While we have been positive on BFLs business model and strong
earnings performance, we also have a Buy rating on BFL.

Remarks:  Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) has got four licences since 2004 in the radar and wafers segments where the company enjoys a monopoly
position. Further, the company has a market opportunity size of Rs70,000 crore over the next seven to eight years in its area of
expertise.
 BEL is planning to invest Rs1,500 crore over the next three years under its Make In India expansion and modernisation strategy. The

company will also be increasing its R&D spends to 10% of the total turnover (currently at 8%).
 BEL will be focusing on exports, offsets and buyer nominated equipment. The likely increase in the private sector participation has led

BEL to diversify into areas of homeland security, smart cards, smart city elements and solar power plants which have tremendous
growth potential with better operating profit margins.
 BEL remains our preferred pick for defense play on account of its strong manufacturing and R&D base. Further, on operational front,

good cost control, increasing indigenisation and discipline in working capital (improved in FY2016) and improving export order book
will aid earnings growth over FY16-18 (13.7% CAGR). We reiterate Buy with an unchanged price target of Rs1,450.

Remarks:  Britannia Industries (Britannia) is the second largest player in the Indian biscuit market with about 30% market share. It has chalked
out an aggressive growth strategy to sustain the double-digit volume growth in the biscuit segment by enhancing its product portfolio.
It is also striving to expand to the other categories, such as dairy (market size of Rs75,000 crore) and adjacent snacking categories
(market size of Rs30,000 crore).
 It is likely to maintain a 14-15% revenue growth rate with the volume growth standing at 10-11% (largely driven by both enhanced

distribution reach and product portfolio). The operating profit margin is expected to remain in the range of 14-15% on the back of
benign input cost and operating efficiency.
 The company has a strong balance sheet with the free cash flow consistently improving over the past few years. Its return ratios have

improved over the past few years and remained strong in the upward of 50%.
 Under a new leadership, Britannia has been able to leverage and monetise its strong brand and position in the biscuit and snack

segments. We believe that the company can sustain its higher than industry growth rates with an improving distribution reach, entry
into newer categories and focus on cost efficiency. We have a Buy rating on the stock with a price target of Rs3,550.

Remarks:  Dhanuka Agritech is the second largest pan-Indian agrochemicals formulation company with over three decades experience and
reaching 10 million farmers across India. The companys strong product portfolio of over 80 brands is channeled through deepest rural
interiors with a distribution network of over 8,600 direct dealers selling to over 80,000 retailers which provides a distinctive edge over
its competition.
 Dhanuka launched 11 products during FY2015-2016 which are expected to scale up significantly (especially Sempra {herbicide for

sugarcane and maize} and Cover {insecticide for paddy, sugarcane, pulses, soyabean}) as the country revives from below normal
rainfall over past consecutive years.
 The company will be launching two molecules under 9(3) registration (exclusive products) each year over the next 2-3 years along with

3-4 molecules under 9(4) each year which is expected to propel its earnings momentum over FY2016-2018E.
 Dhanuka has placed itself in a commanding position with strong product launches, increased capacity and deepest rural penetration. We

expect its revenues to grow at a CAGR of 20% over FY16-18E. Adapting prudent expansion strategy and no major capex plans in the near
future, Dhanuka is likely to generate strong free cashflows (Rs200 crore during FY2017-2018) and maintain high return ratios (above 20%).

Remarks:  Havells is a leading electrical equipment and appliance manufacturer in India. The poor performance of Sylvania (acquired in 2007)
dragged the balance sheet of the company for a long time; however now Havells is going to divest Sylvania. We believe the deal will not
only strengthen its balance sheet but also add value to the bottom line and lift the return ratios. Therefore, the current overhang will go
away and reflect positively on its financials. In terms of quality, the managements focus on domestic business is expected to increase.
 Apart from consolidating its leadership position in the existing products through product innovation and better features, it is also

expanding its product portfolio and making efforts to dwell deeper in the distribution channel by directly connecting with retail and
electrician networks (on the lines of Asian Paints and Astral Poly Technik). Further, consistent free cash flow generation, a high cash
conversion (reported profit to cash flow) record and a consistent high dividend pay-out speak for the management quality. Superior
return ratios and a debt-free balance sheet indicate the quality of business too. Post-divestment of Sylvania, we believe the return
ratios are poised to improve further.
 We believe Havells is a deserving high-quality stock, backed by a strong track record of its management and impressive financials.

Going forward, the extraordinary efforts like direct involvement with electricians and retailers will give it a competitive advantage and
help it to consolidate its leadership position in India. Though currently the domestic business is moving at a modest pace, mirroring
consumer demand, we expect the urban consumption to rise in future and Havells is well positioned to captalise on it. Moreover, the
Sylvania divestment would help it to shake off the past overhang and reflect positively on its return ratios as well as valuations.

Remarks:  HDFC Bank has a strong presence in the retail segment (~50% of the book) and therefore it has been able to maintain a strong growth
in loans even as industry-wise credit growth remains tepid. Going ahead, with a recovery in the economy and improving sentiment in
consumer sector, the loan growth will improve further which will drive the profitability.
 With a current account and savings account (CASA) ratio of over 40% and a high proportion of retail deposits, the cost of funds

remains among the lowest in the system and helps to maintain higher net interest margin (NIM). In addition, the banks loan growth is
led by high yielding products, such as personal loans, vehicle loans, credit card, mortgages etc which has a positive impact on the NIM.
 The bank maintains an impeccable asset quality and its NPA ratios are among the lowest in the system. Given the banks stringent

credit appraisal procedures and insignificant exposure to troubled sectors, it is expected to maintain a robust asset quality.
 HDFC Bank is well poised to tap the growth opportunities going ahead due to strong capital ratios, healthy asset quality and steady

revival in consumer spending. The bank is likely to maintain a healthy RoE of 19-20% and RoA of 1.8% on a sustainable basis.
Therefore, we expect the valuation premium that it enjoys as compared with the other private banks to sustain.

Remarks:  Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL) is Indias largest FMCG company with strong presence in personal care, home care and packaged food
segments in India. The company is a market leader in the personal wash, detergent and shampoo segments in India.
 Despite subdued demand environment, HULs volume growth stood at 6% in FY2016 as against 4.0% volume growth in FY2015 on the

back of relevant pricing actions and higher promotional spends.


 With expected improvement in the rural economy on the back of an expected by better monsoon and better urban demand (due to the

implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission and lower inflation), we expect HULs volume growth trajectory to improve by 6-8%
(from the current level of 4-6%) in the near to medium term. This, along with a sustained innovation in the portfolio, we expect HULs
earnings to grow at a CAGR of 15% over FY2015-18.
 With negative working capital and a strong cash generation ability, the company has a strong balance sheet amongst its peers. Also,

return ratios continue to remain high (RoE and RoCE remained above 100%).
 In view of an improved earnings visibility, strong cash generation ability and higher return ratios we have a Buy recommendation on the

stock with a price target of Rs980. The stock is currently trading at 32x its FY2018E EPS of Rs27.2.

Remarks:  IndusInd Bank is among the fastest growing banks (a 26% CAGR growth over FY2012-2016) having a loan book of Rs88,419 crore
and 811 branches across the country. About 25% of the banks book pertains to vehicle finance, which is a high-yielding category and
is showing signs of recovery.
 Given the aggressive measures taken by the management, the deposit profile has improved considerably (a CASA ratio of 35%).

Going ahead, the bank would follow a differentiated branch expansion strategy (a 5% branch market share in identified centers) that
would help ensure healthy savings accounts and retail deposit growth.
 Despite a weak economic growth and a higher proportion of vehicle finance book the bank has maintained its asset quality. With total

stressed loans (restructured loans + gross NPAs) forming just 1.4% of the book, the banks asset quality is among the best in the system.
 A likely revival in the economy will further fuel growth in the consumer finance division and strong capital ratios will support the growth

plans. Given the strong loan growth, high RoAs and a healthy asset quality, the stock should continue to trade at a premium valuation.
We have a positive outlook on the stock.

Remarks:  Maruti Suzuki India (Maruti) is Indias largest passenger vehicle manufacturer with a strong 45% market share. The company has been
able to gain market share over the last two years on the back of its diverse product portfolio, a large distribution network with an
increased focus on the rural markets and a shift in consumer preference to petrol models from diesel models.
 The recently launched premium hatchback, ie Baleno, has received a positive response which will help the company expand its market

share in the segment. Also, the company recently entered the compact utility vehicle space with the launch of Vitara Brezza and has
received an encouraging response. Further, the company also plans to enter into the light commercial vehicle segment which would
further boost its topline.
 The company is poised to reap the benefits of an increase in discretionary spending from the Seventh Pay Commission pay-out. The

commencement of the first phase of the Gujarat plant with a 2.5 lakh capacity is scheduled in early FY2018. The management plans
to double its existing sales and premium distribution network (NEXA) in order to achieve its target of doubling the domestic volumes
over the next five years.

Remarks:  Relaxo Footwear is present in the fast-growing footwear category, wherein it caters to customers with its four top-of-the-mind-recall
brands, viz, Hawaii, Sparx, Flite and Schoolmate. In the last quarter, it also added another brand, Bahamas, to its product portfolio.
 Relaxo has a proactive approach towards both, brand-building and creating capacities. To build its brand and create a pull like FMCG

players, it continues to rope in Bollywood celebrities and this creates an aspirational quotient for its brands. On the one hand, the
company is creating a strong consumer centric aspiration for the consumers; on the other hand, it is keeping its eye on quality, and thus
does not believe in outsourcing. It is in the process of building capacity for future. Despite the current capacity (180 million pieces per
annum) that would take care of growth in the next three years, the company has bought a 15-acre land at Bhiwadi to built additional
capacity to serve the future requirements.
 Relaxos strong presence in the lucrative mid priced footwear segment (through its top-of-the-mind-recall brands like Hawaii, Flite and

Sparx) along with its integrated manufacturing set-up, lean working capital requirement and vigilant management puts it in a sweet
spot to cash in on the strong growth opportunity unfolding in the footwear category due to a shift from unbranded to branded products.
We thus maintain our Buy rating on the stock.

Remarks:  Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) has a strong presence in the refining, petrochemical and upstream exploration businesses. The refining
division of the company is the highest contributor to its earnings and is operating efficiently with a better gross refining margin (GRM)
compared with its peers in the domestic market due to the ability of its plant to refine more of heavier crude. Currently, with soft crude
oil prices RIL is likely to enjoy high GRM in the near to medium term. The exploration business remains weak due to low production in
the Krishna-Godavari-D6 (KG-D6) field and weak pricing of global fuel prices. However, capital employed and profit contribution from
the exploration business is low.
 Moreover, the upcoming incremental capacities in the petrochemical and refinery businesses are going to drive the future earnings

growth substantially as the downstream businesses are in the driving seat and contributing a lions share of the profitability and cash flow.
 We expect the GRM to remain healthy and new capacities would drive the overall margin and bottomline performance. The stock is

available at an attractive valuation considering the size, strong balance sheet and cash flow generating ability of the company.

Wealth Creator portfolio


Portfolio performance review

Objective: To build a balanced and actively managed portfolio of


quality companies that will help create meaningful wealth for
investors in the multi-year rally expected in the Indian equity market.
In addition to some bottom-up picks, the portfolio contains stocks
identified based on three key themes:


Policy push: Stocks from sectors benefiting from improvement


in the policy environment

Early gainers: Beneficiaries of an economic recovery (stocks from


auto, banking & financial services, logistic sectors)

Evergreen: Steady performers that provide stable and consistent


returns including urban consumption plays

Sharekhans wealth creator portfolio continues to outperform


broader indices with 7% returns (weighted average basis) as
against 1-3.5% increase in Sensex/Nifty.

We have made one change in the portfolio in the month of June


2016 by replacing Cummins India with Britannia Industries.
Cummins India has stated that all new export models would be
introduced through its unlisted subsidiary in India and the listed
entity would only earn marketing margins on the new products,
which will have negative impact on the earnings and return ratios
in the coming years. And hence we are taking it out of Wealth
creator portfolio.

 High provisions affect profitability: Andhra Bank posted weak Q4FY2016 results with
PAT declining by 72.1% YoY and 61.6% Y-o-Y surge in provisions, modest NII growth
of 9.4% YoY and other income grew by 8.1% YoY. Advances growth of 5.2% YoY
was below the industry average. The Q4 NIMs at 3.41% improved by 17BPS sequentially
owing to an 11-BPS decline in cost of funds.
 Asset quality deteriorates; weak outlook: During Q4FY2016, the bank reported a sharp
deterioration in asset quality with GNPAs growing 139BPS QoQ to 8.39%, slippages
of Rs 2,325 crore exacerbated by RBIs asset quality review (AQR) which now is
complete. However, Andhra Banks high exposure in power, iron & steel, construction
etc are worrisome. The bank during Q4 restructured Rs1,161.3 crore (including one
large steel sector exposure). The bank invoked strategic debt restructuring (SDR) in 17
accounts worth Rs3,000 crore while it has done 5:25 refinancing for accounts worth
Rs2,800 crore. The bank has a total restructured portfolio of Rs11,393 crore out of
which a few large accounts could slip into the NPA territory as per the management.
Apart from that, there are other seven to eight accounts having high exposure and
which could slip in the coming few quarters.
 Negatives outweigh, Book out: During Q4, the asset quality saw a sharp decline and
the pain is not over yet as per the management despite completion of AQR. Andhra
Bank plans to slow down corporate book growth and, instead, focus on retail and
SME segments. We expect slower loan book growth, high exposure to troubled sectors,
low PCR and high total stress book (GNPA + restructured) of 17.1% could impact
valuations. We opine Booking Out and are discontinuing it from our active coverage.

weak performance from the European operations. Apollos European operations top
line dipped by 9% YoY in terms of euro due to volume decline and issues in SAP
implementation. The top-line decline led to operating deleverages, and the EBIT margins
for the European operations shrank by 600BPS YoY to 4.8%. The consolidated net
profit at Rs245 crore was significantly lower than our estimate of Rs307 crore.

 Valuation: Apollos revenues are likely to grow at 11% CAGR over FY2016-18E given
the demand improvement in both European and domestic operations, increased capacity
in the domestic TBR space and commissioning of the new Hungary plant. However,
Apollos margins would dip by 300BPS to 13.6% in FY2017 given the increased raw
material prices and inability to take price hikes. We have revised our FY2017E EPS
earnings to Rs16.5 to factor in margin reduction and higher depreciation expenses
given the increased capex. We have also introduced FY2018E earnings in our note. We
have maintained our Buy rating on the stock with a revised price target of Rs180.

 Profit up 36.4% YoY: Bajaj Finance Ltd (BFL) reported a healthy 36.4% Y-o-Y growth
with strong NII & advances growth of 37.0% YoY and 36.5% Y-o-Y growth,
respectively. Provisions during Q4 increased by 37.6% YoY due to additional
provisioning of Rs43.9 crore (one infrastructure a/c; still standard). The non-interest
income jumped by 48.4% YoY.
 AUM growth healthy; asset quality improves: BFL AUM grew by 36.5% YoY in Q4,
with consumer durable, salaried personal loans and business loans growing strong by
33%, 64% and 75%, respectively. The loan against property (LAP) book remained
flat (up 1%) as the company plans to source these loans from in-house capabilities and
reduce the distributors contribution in order to improve yields on that book. The
management expects that LAP would pick up and foresee good growth once the
transition is done smoothly. The asset quality improved during Q4 as gross nonperforming assets were down by six basis points (BPS) to 1.23% from 1.29% QoQ.
 Valuation and outlook: BFLs strong operational numbers, conservative risk
management, customer traction and innovative products pipeline and improving macro
environment would help sustain growth. We expect the net profit to increase at a
compounded annual growth rate of 24.1% YoY over FY2016-18E. The stock currently
trades at a significant premium to its peers owing to strong return ratios, superior asset
quality and healthy growth outlook. We have revised our price target to Rs8,000 by
valuing the stock at 4.1x its FY2018E earnings. However, due to limited upside from
the current level, we have downgraded our rating to Hold.

 Volume growth moderates to 10%; price deflation affects revenue growth: For
Q4FY2016, Britannias consolidated total revenues grew by 7% to Rs2,211.4 crore
driven by a double-digit volume growth. The slowdown in the overall demand
environment resulted in moderation in the volume growth. Adjusting for excise duty
issue, the total revenue growth stood at 8% on a Y-o-Y basis.
 GPM stood flat; OPM below expectations in spite of 90-BPS improvement: As
anticipated, the GPM registered a marginal decline of 30BPS to 42.1% due to increase
in the input cost and change in the revenue mix. The OPM improved by 90BPS to
13.2%. Hence, the operating profit grew by 15.1% YoY to Rs291.2 crore and the
adjusted PAT grew by 13.8% YoY to Rs190.4 crore in Q4FY2016.
 Better monsoon could drive the pace of volumes in H2FY2017; estimates revised
downwards by 2-3% in line with marginal revision in volume growth assumption:
Better monsoon and the governments initiatives would show desired result in the second
half of FY2017. With raw material prices moving up, the improvement in OPM going
ahead would be the function of sustained operational efficiencies and higher volume
growth. Hence, in view of the slowdown in the sales volume, we have revised downwards
our earnings estimates for FY2017 and FY2018 by 2% and 3%, respectively.
 Better prospects ahead; retain Buy: Britannias stock price has corrected by 8%, and
currently is trading at 26x its FY2018E earnings. Thus, in view of the limited downside
risk and better growth prospects in the long run, we have maintained our Buy
recommendation on the stock with an unchanged price target of Rs3,550.

 NII jumps 72.2% YoY: For Q4FY2016, Capital First reported a strong operating
performance with the net interest income (NII) surging by 72.2% YoY driven by healthy
42.6% Y-o-Y advances growth and net interest margin (NIM) expansion. The noninterest income reported a sharp uptick (up 40.3% YoY). Provisions during the quarter
were up by 140.9% while the profit after tax (PAT) growth stood at 30.1% YoY.
 AUM growth remains healthy, asset quality shows marginal blip: During the quarter,
Capital First reported a strong asset under management (AUM) growth of 34.0% YoY
mainly driven by 36.8% Y-o-Y growth in the retail segment while wholesale AUM
grew by 19.3% YoY. The asset quality showed marginal blip with GNPA% increasing
by 18 basis points (BPS) on a sequential basis. Few loans from the small and medium
enterprise (SME) segment made delayed payments hence turned into NPAs. However,
the management is confident of their upgradation within the next few quarters. Accounts
worth Rs18.24 crore were categorised into NPA due to applicability of RBIs revised
asset classification norms to non-banking finance companies.
 Valuation and outlook: Capital First continues to show a strong operating performance
which we expect to sustain in the medium term. Being a niche player in SME and retail
loans (consumer durable, gold etc) we expect the growth momentum to continue which
could be further aided by a rise in the rural income due to better monsoon and
governments effort to drive rural economy. Also, lower interest rate cycle would help
the bank to maintain lower borrowing cost which could help in maintaining healthy
margins. We have rolled over our estimates to FY2018 and valued the company at
2.4x its FY2018E book value leading to a revised price target of Rs570. We maintain
our Buy rating on the stock.

June 2016

 Terrorist attacks in Brussels and Paris affect the performance in Q4: Cox & Kings Ltd
(CKL)s consolidated revenues declined by 3.8% YoY to Rs471.0 crore, as its
international leisure and Meininger business were affected by terrorist attacks in Paris
and Brussels. The consolidated OPM improved by 243BPS YoY mainly on account of
lower ad-spends and other expenses at the consolidated level. The operating profit
grew by 21% YoY to Rs55.8 crore.
 Gradual improvement in performance could be seen in FY2017; company targets
reduction of debt by Rs300-400 crore: The domestic leisure travel business registered a
steady performance in the tough market environment with 13% growth in revenues
and 12% growth in the EBIDTA in FY2016. The EBIDTA margin of the business is
expected to stay at around 50%. We expect the education business revenues to grow
by 10% in FY2017 with PGL already booked 86% of the revenue target for FY2017.
Meininger is expected to see a slow improvement in the performance as/of Brussels
property, which will slow down the business performance for one to two quarters. The
company has maintained its target to reduce debt by Rs300-400 crore.
 Downward revision in estimates; retain Buy due to discounted valuations: CKLs stock
price has already corrected by 50% (in line with the muted performance for the past
two to three quarters) and is currently trading at discounted valuations of 6.1x its
FY2018E earnings and 5.3x its EV/EBIDTA in comparison with some of the global
peers. We have maintained our Buy recommendation on the stock with a revised price
target of Rs250.

 Operationally in-line performance in Q4FY2016; lower taxation boosts profits: For


Q4FY2016, Gabriels revenues grew by 5% YoY. Pick-up in the two-wheeler segment
and the passenger vehicle segment led to the top-line growth after a gap of three quarters.
Gabriels operating profit margin (OPM) improved by 70BPS YoY to 8.9%. However,
the net profit beat estimates, led by lower taxation. The adjusted net profit at Rs21.1
crore came ahead of our estimates of Rs17 crore.
 Demand to accelerate; expect double-digit growth in FY2017: After a flat growth in
FY2016, the two-wheeler industry (contributes 45% of Gabriels top line) is likely to
grow by 6-7% in FY2017.Further, better economic growth and the implementation of
the Seventh Pay Commission are likely to lead to demand recovery. Also, Gabriel is likely
to outpace the two-wheeler industry given the increased share of supplies to Honda
Motorcycle and Scooter (HMSI). Also, the passenger vehicle segments revenues are likely
to grow in double digits due to a healthy industry growth and the new launches by key
clients. We expect Gabriels revenues to grow at 12% CAGR over the next two years.
 Valuation: Gabriels revenues are likely to grow at a healthy 12% CAGR given the
improved outlook of two-wheeler industry and increased share of business from the
existing clients. Also, the companys efforts to curb raw material costs driven by value
engineering and better sourcing coupled with an operating leverage is likely to lead to
margin improvement. We have maintained our FY2017 earnings estimates. We have
also introduced FY2018 earnings estimates in this note. We re-iterate our Buy rating
on the stock with an unchanged price target of Rs105.

 Strong operating performance: For Q4FY2016, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals (Glenmark


Pharma) reported a core revenue growth of 25% YoY, while its operating profit grew
by 16% to Rs460.7 crore (excluding forex loss of Rs94 crore and a one-time cost of
Rs65 crore related to sitagliptin litigation cost) and adjusted core profit for the quarter
grew by 22.5% to Rs327 crore. The strong operating performance was driven by growth
across all geographies. India grew by 22.5% YoY; the USA grew by 21.6%YoY; Rest
of the World (RoW) grew by 35.6% and Latin America was up by 33.5% YoY.
However, Europe was up by only 11%.
 Strong FY2017 revenue guidance; USA, EU and India to lead growth: The management
has given a revenue growth guidance of more than 25% for FY2017 (including gZetia).
The company will report 12-15% base revenue growth in FY2017 and FY2018 each.
The management has indicated that, for future growth, key focus areas will be
dermatology, contraceptives and complex injectables. The growth would be mainly
driven by the USA, European Union (EU) and India, which are witnessing an exponential
growth on account of launches of new products. The company is gearing up for the
launch of gZetia where it has 180 days exclusivity in the USA (H2FY2017 launch).
 Upgrade to Buy with a revised price target of Rs1,096: Taking into account good
product approval rate of FY2016, new product launches in FY2017 and lower tax rate
(25% versus 28% assumed earlier) we have revised our earnings estimates by 14% for
FY2017. We have also introduced FY2018E earnings. Hence, looking at the strong
longterm outlook, we have upgraded our rating to Buy with a revised price target of
Rs1,096 (20x its FY2018E earnings).

 VSF and chemical divisions continue their stellar performance: The result for the quarter
is not comparable on a Y-o-Y basis because the company has amalgamated Aditya
Birla Chemicals India Ltd (ABCIL). For Q4FY2016, Grasim Industries (Grasim)s
revenue for the quarter improved by 13.7% YoY to Rs9,896.4 crore led by a volume
growth across all its divisions. The OPM rose by 269BPS led by higher realisations in
viscose stable fibre (VSF; up 11% YoY) and chemical (up 15% YoY) divisions. The
pulp and fibre joint venture (JV)s performance was aided by a higher pulp volume in
its AV Terrace Bay JV along with favourable exchange rates. Further, the company
reported an earnings growth of 37.5% YoY on account of a strong operating profit
growth (up 32.2% YoY).
 Favourable outlook and expansion plans to fuel growth going ahead: The full ramp-up
of the Vilayat plant (increasing capacity to 8,04,000 tonne) is likely to aid VSFs volumes
going ahead although prices may soften in the near term. Further, Grasims merger
with ABCIL and an expansion in the caustic division are likely to lead to a strong
performance in the chemical division.
 Maintain Buy with a revised price target of Rs4,705: We have revised our earnings
estimates upward for FY2017 and FY2018 factoring improving outlook in the chemical
and VSF verticals. We have maintained our Buy rating on the stock with a revised price
target of Rs4,705. Currently, the stock is trading at 10.4x its PE and 4.0x its EV/
EBIDTA its FY2018E earnings.

June 2016

 Top-line growth beats estimates; enters positive territory after a gap of four quarters:
After four consecutive quarters of decline, the revenues of Greaves Cotton Ltd (GCL)
picked up in Q4FY2016, reporting a 3% Y-o-Y growth to Rs405 crore. A better product
mix and growth in the generator business enabled GCL to post a marginal growth in
the top line. The margins improved strongly by 410BPS YoY to 15.6%. The adjusted
net profit boosted by higher other income grew by 45% YoY to Rs45 crore.
 Growth to pick up in FY2017: GCL indicated that FY2017 is likely to be a growth year
for the company, given the bottoming out of the automotive volumes which form 5560% of the revenues. A better economic growth, release of fresh permits coupled with
double-digit growth in the heavy commercial vehicle segment over the past six to eight
quarters are likely to percolate to smaller vehicles resulting in an improved demand
scenario. Also, given the normal monsoon forecast and improved rural sentiments, the
demand for the farm equipment segment is likely to gain momentum. Further, GCL is
ready with engines for the next emission levels which will boost realisations.
 Retain Buy with an unchanged PT of Rs160: GCL is likely to see an 11% CAGR topline growth over the next two years on the back of a pick-up in the automotive business
and the agri equipment space. We have reduced our FY2017 earnings estimates by 9%
to factor in higher depreciation and lower margins performance of Q4FY16 . We have
introduced FY2018 estimates in this note. We reiterate our Buy rating on the stock
with an unchanged price target of Rs160.

 Volume growth tapered down to 4%; margin expansion led to double-digit PAT growth:
In Q4FY2016, HULs revenues grew by 3.4% to Rs7,809.4 crore affected by the
continued effect of phasing out of excise duty incentives and price deflation. The volume
growth tapered down to 4% in Q4FY2016 from 6% in Q3FY2016, largely on account
of a slowdown in rural demand and re-alignment of channel spends. The benign input
cost led to a 239-BPS improvement in GPM to 51.7%. However, higher advertisement
spends led to a 119-BPS improvement in OPM to 17.0%. The operating profit grew by
11.1% and the adjusted PAT grew by 13.2% YoY to Rs1,030.9 crore.
 Outlook for near to medium term: The underlying volume growth stood at 6% in
FY2016 (better than 4-5% volume growth in the earlier fiscals) on the backdrop of
difficult demand environment. However, the key for improvement in the volume growth
is recovery in the rural demand, which can be the function of a good monsoon and the
positives generated through recent initiatives undertaken by the government to improve
the rural economy. With the key input prices seeing an upward trend, the GPM expansion
would be subject to improvement in the revenue mix, premiumisation, an efficient raw
material procurement and an adequate price hike.
 Growth prospects likely to improve in FY2017; retain Buy: We have reduced our
earnings estimates for FY2017 by 5% to factor in lower demand environment, while
almost maintained the estimates for FY2018. We have maintained our Buy
recommendation on the stock with an unchanged price target of Rs980. The stock is
currently trading at 32.4x its FY2018E earnings of Rs26.9.

 Profits surge 40.0% YoY: For Q4FY2016, Housing Development Finance Corporation
(HDFC) posted PAT growth of 40.0% YoY boosted by 264.1% Y-o-Y rise in noninterest income. Gains of Rs1,513 crore from 9% stake sale in HDFC Life helped
boost other income growth. Margins declined slightly by 10BPS to 3.9% from 4.0%
YoY as the incremental book was funded by higher borrowings. Operating expenses
during the quarter were kept steady (down 0.7% YoY) owing to slower growth in
employee expenses. However, provisions rose sharply by 990.0% YoY in Q4 due to
Rs450 crore of additional provisioning (for standard assets).

to increase its high-yielding corporate book which could cushion margins. HDFC is a
bellwether in related peer group with enough potential to capture new opportunities.
We expect earnings to grow at 10.5% over FY2016-18E and margins to remain stable.

 Weak performance continues: Ipca Laboratories (Ipca Labs) posted a poor performance
in Q4FY2016 due to continuance of a ban by the USFDA on three of its India-based
facilities. During the quarter, the companys profits remained flat at Rs625 crore, while
OPM got squeezed by 257BPS to 13.1% (vs. 15.6% in Q3FY2015). Operating profit
margin was lower than the expectation at 10.2% (versus expectation of 16.1%) on
account of continuing remediation costs and low API sales. In terms of earnings, the
company reported a net profit of Rs37.6 crore (buoyed by a tax credit of Rs15.6 crore).
 Immediate outlook weak; no end to US FDA issues in sight: Unfortunately, the company
does not expect any immediate relief from the regulatory issues in the near term. Lack
of clarity on the resolution and additional expenses on remedial cost (third-party
consulting charges) would keep earnings under pressure. Domestic business and other
business lines are also under pressure. The company has guided for no major sales
from HCQS due to a sharp price correction and competition, which was a key nearterm trigger. The institutional anti-malaria business is expected to reach Rs150 crore
in FY2017. On the domestic business front, formulations sales were severely affected
due to the FDC ban (~3% on sales growth). Hence, the management has guided for
domestic business growth of 12% in FY2017.
 Better to move out: Due to continued weakness in earnings and an uncertain outlook, it
is better to avoid the stock. We believe the regulatory issues and pressure on other business
lines could result in further steep downgrade of earnings (20-40%) for consensus for
FY2017/2018. We advise booking out of the stock and dropping our coverage on it.

June 2016

 Better operating performance; higher tax rate restricted PAT growth: For Q4FY2016,
ITCs net revenues grew by 10.7% YoY to Rs10,168.7 crore. Its core cigarette business
revenues grew by ~10%, while non-cigarette FMCG business revenues grew by just
5.4% during the quarter. The GPM improved by 72BPS YoY to 60.9% and the OPM
improved by 210BPS YoY to 36.3%. The operating profit grew by 17.5% YoY to
Rs3,687.1 crore. However, a higher incidence of tax led to 10% Y-o-Y growth in PAT
to Rs2,495.2 crore in Q4FY2016.
 Declared bonus in the ratio of 1:2: ITC has rewarded shareholders with a bonus issue
and a special dividend in FY2016. The company declared a bonus issue of one share to
every two shares held by the shareholders. Also, the company declared a final dividend
of Rs8.5 per share (including a special dividend of Rs2 per share) for the current fiscal.
 Maintain Buy: ITC posted a much better operating performance in Q4FY2016 with
some revival in the core cigarette business. We have broadly maintained our earnings
estimates for FY2017 and FY2018. With pressure easing off on the cigarette business
and the managements thrust on expanding the non-cigarette FMCG business (by
entering into newer categories), we expect ITC to deliver double-digit earnings growth
over the next two years. The stock is currently trading at 20.3x its FY2018E earnings.
Thus, in view of better earnings visibility and discounted valuations, we have maintained
our Buy recommendation on the stock with an unchanged price target of Rs375. Any
action taken by the government to curb the consumption of cigarette would act as a
risk to earnings estimates.

 Volume growth back in double-digit trajectory; price cuts affect revenue growth: For
Q4FY2016, JLL reported a revenue growth of ~11% to Rs445.4 crore driven by a
double-digit volume growth of 13.7%. The GPM improved by 135BPS YoY to 50.0%
on the back of lower raw material prices and change in revenue mix. This, along with
lower employee cost as well as advertisement spends led to a 378-BPS improvement in
the OPM to 14.1%. The operating profit grew by 51.9% YoY to Rs62.7 crore and the
PAT grew by 22.4% to Rs35.6 crore during the quarter.
 Volume growth to sustain in the range of 9-11%; OPM to remain in the range of 1415%: JLL management is confident of achieving a volume growth in the range of 911% in FY2017 (price hike and better revenue mix would result in 15% revenue growth).
We expect the OPM to sustain in the range of 14.0-14.5% over the next two years
driven by better revenue mix and other cost-saving initiatives (the management targets
OPM to be in the range of 14-15% in the coming years).
 Uncertainty over valuations for a possible stake sale to Henkel AG; maintain Buy: We
have broadly maintained our earnings estimates for FY2017 and FY2018. We expect
JLLs revenues to grow at a CAGR of 15% over FY2016-18 (driven by double-digit
volume growth) and the PAT to grow at a CAGR of 17% over FY2016-18. However,
uncertainty prevails owing to the possible exercise of option by Henkel to acquire 26%
in JLL in the near term. We have maintained our Buy recommendation on the stock
with an unchanged price target of Rs360. The stock is currently trading at 24.3x its
FY2018E earnings.

 Strong operating performance: For Q4FY2016, Lupins sales grew by 35.8% to


Rs4,181.2 crore; operating profit improved by 73.2% to Rs1,367.4 crore and profit
grew by 47.5% to Rs807 crore. The strong set of numbers was aided by two months
exclusivity sales from Glumetza coupled with price hikes in Fortamet. Profit was affected
due to higher tax rate of 33.6% in Q4FY2016 against 19.5% in Q4FY2015. Also, the
interest cost has gone up due to increase in debt.
 Strong future outlook: The US business reported a sales growth of 58.7% for Q4FY2016
at Rs2,187.1 crore, largely contributed from Glumetza exclusivity. Also, Fortamet price
hike has helped in improving the base business growth and margins as there are just
two generic players in the market with Lupin having a significant market share. The US
business is likely to post a healthy double-digit growth over the next two years.
 USFDA continues to remain near-term overhang: Lupin continues to work holistically
to resolve the pending USFDA 483s at Pithampur (Indore), Aurangabad, Goa and
Mandideep plants. The company has responded to Goa observations with a follow-up
update and awaits FDA response. Around 30 products are pending approval from the
Goa plant and around 70 from Pithampur (Indore) site. It has initiated site transfer
from Goa to other FDA-approved sites.
 Maintain Hold with a revised price target of Rs1, 850: We have revised downwards
our estimates for FY2017 and FY2018 by 6.3% and 4.4%, respectively, mainly due to
an increase in interest cost and higher tax rate. Also, 483 observations from the USFDA
continue to remain overhang for the near term and poses an upside risk to our valuation.
Hence, we have retained our Hold rating with a revised price target of Rs1,850.

 For Q4FY2016, PI Industries posted a revenue growth of 9% YoY to Rs584.8 crore


which was largely driven by a 6% growth in custom synthesis manufacturing (CSM)
and 17% growth in domestic agri segment. Better operating efficiency and lower input
cost helped the company to post 60-BPS improvement in OPM to 18.3% YoY. Further,
decline in deprecation cost and lower tax rate helped the company to post 58% growth
in earnings to Rs95.3 crore (includes foreign exchange [forex] gain of Rs2.0 crore vs
Rs4.8-crore gain in Q4FY2015). Commissioning of the Jambusar plant, R&D expenses
etc helped the company to have a lower tax rate during the quarter (1% tax rate in
Q4FY2016 vs 30% last year same period).
 The management has guided for improvement in sentiments of domestic business
(prediction of a good monsoon) and CSM business which is likely to support revenue
growth of around 18-20% over the next couple of years. On the EBIDTA margins
front, the company has guided for 100-150-BPS improvement on account of operational
efficiency and ramp-up in new facilities. On the order book front, it added another
order worth $70 million taking its order book to $850 million.
 We have fine-tuned our earnings estimates for FY2017 and FY2018 to factor in a
lower tax rate (now the management guided for 24-25% tax rate against 28% earlier).
A good monsoon along with new products launched in the CSM business (two to three
new products will be launched in FY2017) will help the company to sustain a strong
growth momentum in the coming years. Hence, we continue to prefer PI Industries due
to its unique business model and a structural growth story. We have maintained our
Buy rating on the stock with an unchanged price target of Rs800.

June 2016

 Strong operating performance driven by volume; provision for investments affects


reported PAT: During Q4FY2016, PTC India (PTC) reported a strong operating
performance driven by a substantial jump in volume. The revenue as well as the operating
profit grew by around 30% YoY, supported by 55% Y-o-Y rise in power trading
volume during this quarter. Below the operating level, with better other income (due to
higher dividend income), the adjusted PAT grew by 43% YoY in Q4FY2016.
 Back on growth after a hiatus; double-digit volume growth ahead: The power trading
volume improved during FY2016 (after a flat growth in FY2015) as the medium-term
volume improved. Moreover, the management sounded optimistic after a long time on
volume growth outlook and expects the double-digit growth to continue in future.
Apart from the likely improvement in the short- and medium-term volume, the longterm capacities are expected to come up in future and lift the overall volume. The longterm projects of around 1.2GW came on stream. However, it pushed up the receivables
high as around four new projects came up later by the end of the year and receivables
remained high. Consequently, it squeezed cash flow from operations in FY2016.
 Revised earnings estimates and re-iterate Buy on attractive valuation: Given the positive
growth outlook, we have revised our FY2017E earnings and introduced FY2018E
earnings in this note. However, the negative cash flow from operations in FY2016 and
provision for diminution of value of investments would be an overhang on the valuation.
Our SOTP-based price target is unchanged at Rs90 but we continue to rate the stock as
Buy, given the attractive valuation and high dividend yield.

 For Q4FY2016, Ratnamani Metals and Tubes reported a strong volume growth in the
carbon steel (CS) pipe segment (up by 98% YoY driven by L&T order booking of
around Rs150 crore), which has led to an overall revenue growth of 35% YoY to
Rs507 crore (stainless steel [SS] segment volume up by 11% YoY), while realisation
declined for CS pipe segment (down by 17% YoY) and remained flat for SS pipe segment.
The net income for the quarter stood at Rs46.1 crore (up by 43% YoY).
 The demand environment remained subdued on account of delay in projects. Also,
export orders remained subdued. However, the recent improvement in crude and steel
prices could improve investment sentiment, but will take time. On a medium- to longterm perspective, the management remained optimistic of improvement in the demand
scenario owing to a pick-up in capex in the domestic market. However, looking at the
current softness in the order flow, the management guided for a flattish volume growth
and margin to remain around 16-17%. The capex for FY2017 is around Rs70 crore
for setting up of a new plant. The current order book, (in terms of value) at the end of
April 2016 stood at Rs830 crore, remained flat YoY.
 We remain positive on Ratnamani Metals and Tubes on a long-term perspective looking
at the companys ability to generate better returns ratios than its peers and a strong
balance sheet. We have tweaked our earnings estimates, owing to a better-than-expected
Q4 performance. We have rolled over our price target to FY2018E earnings and arrived
at the price target of Rs600. Owing to a limited upside from current level, we have
maintained our Hold rating on the stock with a revised price target of Rs600.

 Weak performance; net income affected by one-offs: For Q4FY2016, Relaxo Footwear
(Relaxo) posted a weak revenue growth (+10.2% YoY), on account of a soft demand
and increased competition. Soft revenue along with a sharp increase in fixed overheads
(employee cost and other expenditure were up by 19.8% and 18.2%, respectively)
affected the operating performance, which was down 6% YoY. The overall earnings
for the quarter were affected by several one-offs.
 Revenue affected on account of subdued demand coupled with escalated competition:
The subdued growth in the top line was on account of general market slowdown,
coupled with enhanced competitive intensity both, at the regional as well as national
levels. Relaxo, apart from creating a strong brand pull from customers (via its celebrity
endorsement strategy), has now also started focusing on creating a pull from the retailers
(via understanding the gaps between distributors and retailers, and realignment of the
commission structure, etc). These efforts to create retail pull coupled with improving
its distribution footprint and enhancing online and modern retail presence are likely to
restore the growth momentum ahead.
 Strong brands, focused management; maintain Buy with PT revised to Rs575: We
expect Relaxo to post 19.9% and 30.2% revenue and earnings CAGR, respectively,
over FY2016-18E.Relaxos strong presence in the lucrative mid-priced footwear segment
(through its top-of-the-mind recall brands like Hawaii, Flite and Sparx) along with its
integrated manufacturing set-up, lean working capital requirement and vigilant
management puts it in a sweet spot to cash in on the strong growth opportunity unfolding
in the footwear category due to a shift from unbranded to branded products. Thus, we
continue with our Buy rating on the stock with a revised price target of Rs575.

 Top-line growth in line; margins miss estimates slightly: Ricos Q4FY16 consolidated
revenues were up by 3% YoY due to improved off-take from key customers, viz Hero
MotoCorp Ltd (HMCL) and Renault-Nissan. The OPM at 9.1%, improved 530BPS
YoY, but is incomparable as Q4FY15 had the impact of subsidiary restructuring. The
adjusted net profit at Rs8.4 crore, though sharply up on a Y-o-Y basis, was slightly
below our estimate of Rs9.2 crore.
 Revival in demand for auto OEMs coupled with commissioning of Chennai plant
provides visibility on top-line growth: With the recent commissioning of HMCLs
Gujarat plant (capacity of 7.5 lakh units in phase-I), and an expected positive outlook
for the two-wheeler demand would have a positive rub-off on Ricos top line. Also, the
other key clients in the passenger vehicle space are having a healthy demand outlook
for FY2017. Rico recently commissioned its Chennai plant to cater to southern Indiabased auto original equipment manufacturers. The plant with an initial capacity of 1.5
lakh sets per annum is expected to add Rs35-40 crore in the top line in FY2017 and
would further ramp up Rs80-90 crore in FY2018.
 Maintain Buy with an unchanged PT of Rs47: While a likely improved performance
from the two-wheeler segment and incremental revenues from the Chennai plant provide
comfort on top-line growth, the hardening of raw material prices are likely to affect the
OPM going ahead. We have reduced our earnings estimate for FY2017 by 8% to
Rs3.1 per share to factor in the above changes. We have also introduced FY2018
earnings estimates in this note. We have maintained our Buy rating on the stock with
an unchanged price target of Rs47.

realisation for the quarter declined (down by 7.5% YoY). Revenue for the quarter
remained flat at Rs997 crore YoY, however operating profit margin (OPM) saw a
sharp jump and increased by 536BPS YoY to 32.9%. Consequently, EBITDA per tonne
improved by 22.7% YoY to Rs1,402 per tonne. Further, lower interest cost (reduction
of borrowings) led to earnings of Rs187 crore (excluding profit on sale of equity
investments of Rs17.53 crore) as against Rs93 crore during Q4FY2015.

 Ramco Cements has remained our preferred pick in the cement sector due to its quality
management, cost efficiencies (EBIDTA per tonne is one of the highest in the industry)
and a strong balance sheet (debt-equity ratio at around 0.7x). However, after the recent
appreciation, the stock is trading at an enterprise value of close to 9.1x its FY2018E
earnings before interest, depreciation, tax and amortisation (EBIDTA; near to its oneyear forward average EV/EBIDTA). Thus, owing to a limited upside from the current
level (unfavourable risk-return ratio), we are maintaining our Hold recommendation
on the stock with a revised price target of Rs520 (rolling forward our valuation multiple
to FY2018E).

 Stellar performance; beats Street on all fronts: In Q4FY2016, V-Guard more than doubled
(YoY) its earnings to Rs42 crore, driven by a healthy revenue growth (up by 16% YoY)
and strong margin expansion (up by 438BPS YoY). The revenue growth for the quarter
is attributed to a strong traction in products like fans, pumps and water heaters. Also, VGuard maintained its overall pricing across the product range despite subdued prices of
key raw materials and it managed to reduce discounts in the non-south markets, which
altogether resulted in a substantial margin expansion during this quarter.
 Impressive cash flow; non-south profitability stepping up: V-Guard continued to generate
a strong cash flow from operations which it utilised to pay off around Rs51-crore debt in
FY2016. Further, the company almost achieved a debt-free status by the end of the year.
On the business front, the company managed to reduce discounts in the non-south markets
without hampering revenue, which echoes positively about its brand acceptance. Going
forward, the management expects non-south margin to improve gradually with operating
leverage. Consequently, the management has revised its OPM guidance upwards to around
10% and aims revenue growth of 15% for the next 2-3 years.
 Estimates and price target revised upward; reiterate Buy: The management sounded
positive on the overall growth prospects and revised its margin guidance. It also sees
further scope for improvement in the working capital cash conversion cycle and expects
to sustain the RoCE of around 25% in the long run. With a deleveraged balance sheet,
the company is looking out for inorganic growth opportunities to widen its network
and product range. We have revised our price target on the stock of V-Guard to Rs1,350

delivered an in-line performance.

Broadly an in-line quarter: The top five Indian IT service


companies delivered an overall in-line revenue performance,
while HCL Technologies (HCL Tech) missed the estimate during
the quarter ending March 31, 2016. During Q4FY16, the top
five companies reported a growth of 2.0% QoQ on a constantcurrency (CC) basis and 1.6% (versus our estimate of 1.8%)
on a reported basis. Once again, Infosys continued to deliver a
strong performance for four back-to-back quarters now, though,
on an organic basis, Tata Consultancy Service (TCS) led the
pack with 2.1% Q-o-Q growth. Tech Mahindra reported an
overall in-line operating performance, while HCL Tech and
Wipro lagged behind the estimate during the quarter.
Importantly, Cognizant registered a negative growth of 0.9%
on a sequential basis, in line with the companys guidance. On
the operating profit margin front, TCS, Wipro and HCL Tech
fell short of expectations despite the absence of Chennai flood

Sharekhan ValueGuide

Demand commentary remains decent, cautious on margins: The


managements of most of the companies foresee challenges in
margin expansion in the coming quarters owing to ongoing
higher spending in digital technologies, coupled with integration
issues (HCL Tech, Wipro and Tech M), pricing pressures and
wage hikes. Though Infosys provided an industry leading
revenue growth guidance of 11.5-13.5% (on CC basis) for
FY2017 (ahead of NASSCOMs growth guidance of 10-12%),
the management expects operating margins will remain in the
range of 24-26% for FY2017 (25% in FY2016). TCS
acknowledged challenges in maintaining the margin band of
26-28% in FY2017 owing to continued investments in digital
technology. The managements of Wipro and Tech Mahindra
noted the consolidation of the acquired entities will have an
adverse impact on their operating margins in FY2017, while

growth concerns for near to medium term. Currently, the stocks


are attractively trading at 12-17x based on FY2018 estimates.
We remain positive on the IT sector, given the reasonable
valuation and growth pick-up in FY2017/18E. The industrys
digital transformation (spending is moving away from the legacy
services) could continue to result in earnings volatility in the
near to medium term. We believe the current valuation largely
reflects the new normal growth expectation for the industry for
FY2017-18E. We remain selective in our stock preference, in
order of preference, we remain positive on Infosys, TCS and
HCL Tech, and, in the mid-cap space, we remain positive on
Persistent Systems.

Outlook:
Industry transition continues, betting on digital technology:
Given the intense competitive environment for the Indian IT
companies along with continued investments in digital
technology and consolidation of relatively low-margin
acquisitions, the operating margins of the Indian IT companies
will expectedly remain under pressure in FY2017. However,
we believe the continuous ramp-ups in digital spending and the
high-level automation will help the companies to enhance
profitability gradually in next 2-3 years. We continue to maintain
our stance that the IT sector is going through a transition phase,
with an increasing digital adoption and commoditisation of
legacy services, which will continue to result in earnings volatility
in the near term.

MAY 19, 2016
The jewel in the crown listed; retain positive stance

Key points


Moreover, focus of the new management to spend on


promotions to improve the brand visibility would drive future
growth and create value in the long run. We expect higher
spending on advertisements, however the overheads related to
restructuring would go down and help to sustain healthy
margin in future. Further, with expected high cash generation,
the likely debt reduction could help to lift earnings.

The jewel in the crown made an eventful listing: The demerged


entity of Crompton Greaves Ltd (CGL), Crompton Greaves
Consumer Electricals (CGCE), made an encouraging listing.
As in our earlier reports, we had quoted consumer business as
a jewel in the crown and highlighted substantial value
unlocking from the demerger. The impressive listing of CGCE
(better than our expectation of Rs110/share) vindicates our
conviction. We believe, after the demerger, backed by a focused
management at the helm, superior returns ratios profile and
strong cash flow track record, the Street will comparably value
the pure play electrical consumer company CGCE with Havells
India.

High quality business + investing in brand = value creation:


Factors like dominating market share (fans 26%, lighting 8%
and pumps 10%), high cash flow generation and superior
returns ratios track record qualify the business as high quality.

Positive stance reiterated on CGCE: In our previous reports


on CGL, we had highlighted the potential value unlocking from
the demerger. We reiterate our positive stance on the newly
listed entity, CGCE, and recommend investors to hold the
demerged entity given the positives on its side. As there is a
limited data available for the new entity now, we shall update
with a detailed working of its future earnings and our price

Growth back on track; improving balance sheet

Key points


hike and better capacity utilisation will boost growth and


margin profile going forward.

Pharma business will be the key growth driver and helps


improve margins: Jubilant Life Sciences (Jubilant)s pharma
business consists of two divisions, namely Generics and
Specialty Pharma (sterile products). We believe Jubilants
pharma growth would be driven by product launches in
radiopharma and pick-up in volumes and realisations in the
contract manufacturing operation (CMO) of sterile injectables
(given the shortages in the US sterile injectable segment) as
USFDA issues are now in the past. We expect CMO business
volumes to pick up in FY2017-18. The generic growth will be
driven by new filings and incremental ANDA approvals (27
ANDAs pending approval) over the next few years.
LSI business to get boost from nutrition segment: Jubilants
life science ingredient (LSI) business consists of specialty
intermediates (pyridines and its derivatives), nutritional
products (vitamin B) and life science chemicals segments.
Jubilants nutrition business mainly includes vitamin B3
(niacin) used for cosmetics and animal feed consumption and
vitamin B4 (Choline), which is a vital feed additive for poultry.
Jubilant is amongst the worlds largest manufacturers of
Vitamin B3 (niacin and niacinamide). Volume growth, price

Positive view on the stock with better upside: The key growth
drivers in the short term would be USFDA approval for its
radiopharma product, Ruby-fill. Besides, the CMO business
which was affected due to USFDAs warning letters would see
a revival and growth going forward. The company has built a
strong products pipeline in the USA, which will unfold in the
next two to three years. If the company decides to go for an
equity expansion, the debt level might see a significant
reduction. Hence, we have a positive view on the stock with a
potential upside of 20% returns from the current level over
the next six months.

Risk: Key downside risks to our valuation assumptions are;


(a) delay in product approvals; (b) volatility in prices of raw
materials for its specialty chemical divisions; and (c) volatility
in foreign currency.

TCPL PACKAGING

VIEWPOINT
CMP: RS553
VIEW: POSITIVE
MAY 27, 2016
Re-initiate positive stance on improving growth prospects

Key points


Enhanced capacity and improving consumption environment


to drive double-digit growth: TCPL Packaging Ltd (TCPL) is
one of the largest players in the domestic packaging space (with
an expertise in carton packaging). The company is one of the
largest vendors for supplying packaging materials to tobacco,
food and other FMCG product companies (including Nestle
India, Hindustan Unilever and Godrej Consumer Products) in
India. With its new plant in Guwahati getting operational,
TCPLs conversion capacity has increased to 52,200 ton per
annum from 43,200 ton per annum earlier. With the demand
for consumer goods expected to improve on the back of an
expected better monsoon (driving rural demand) and
improving sentiments in the urban India, the revenue growth
of TCPL is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth
rate (CAGR) of about 20% with a stable operating profit
margin (OPM) of 16-17%.
Strong financial background; leverage position is comfortable:
TCPL has a strong financial record with revenues, operating
profit and profit after tax (PAT) growing at a CAGR of 20%,
24% and 47%, respectively over FY2011-15. The OPM of
the company has improved by 16.5% in FY2015 (to further
17.5% in M9FY2016) from 14.5% in FY2011 on the back of

Sharekhan ValueGuide

operating efficiencies. The company has a better leverage


position in the packaging industry with its debt-equity ratio
standing at 1.4x. With operating cash flows to improve in the
coming years and no major capital expenditure going ahead,
we expect the debt-equity ratio to further improve in the coming
years. The return ratios have consistently improved and RoE
and RoCE currently stand at 32% and 23%, respectively.
Trading at a discount to packaging peers: TCPL would be one
of key beneficiaries of the improving demand environment in
the FMCG space. Further, the rising trend in the e-commerce
space would add on to the overall revenues in the coming years.
We expect TCPLs revenues and PAT to grow at a CAGR of
19% and 28%, respectively, over FY2015-18. Despite consistent
operational performance, TCPL is trading at 7.2x its FY2018E
earnings, which is at a discount to its peers, such as Huhtamaki
PPL and Essel Propack, which are trading at 15x and 12x,
respectively, their FY2018 consensus estimates. Hence, in view
of its consistent operating performance, better earnings visibility
and discounted valuations, we have re-initiated our positive view
on the stock with an upside of 20-25%.

TREND & VIEW

TECHNICALS

Out of the Bear Trend


Daily view on Nifty


The Nifty has provided a break-out on the upside from a crucial


range of 8000 to 7700 levels which has a minimum target of
8340 level.

The index has a support at 8000 level now, and till those levels
are not broken on a closing basis, the overall trend in the short
term remains bullish.

The momentum indicators on the daily charts have come well


into a buy mode, thus confirming the upward break-out. The
increase in volumes owing to the break-out is another signal of
a valid breakout

Crucial supports for the index will be around 8160 and 8000
while crucial resistance will be near 8340 and 8500.

Weekly view on Nifty




The Nifty has provided a break-out from an inverse head and


shoulders pattern which has a conservative target of 8336, ie
close to its previous swing high. On a break-out above 8336
level, we will see it inching higher towards 8600 level.

The index has a positive momentum on the weekly charts which


confirms the break-out. The index is also trading well above its
weekly averages mainly 20MSMA and 40MEMA which is a
positive sign.

A crucial support would be around 8000 and 7700 whereas


resistance would be around 8340 and 8500.

Monthly view on Nifty




The index has provided a long downward sloping channel which


indicates the shift in trend from bearish to bullish. Now, the
index seems to have come out of the bear trend and entered
into a bull trend.

However, for the June series, it has a minor resistance at 8340


levels and, only above that, we can hope for 8600 level or else
we can see some profit-booking from those levels which will
lead to some consolidation.

As per the Elliott Wave Theory, this is either Wave III of 3 or


Wave III of C, however, till higher top and higher bottom
continues, the bulls need not worry. So, till 7700 level is not
broken, the bulls can continue to ride the uptrend.

A crucial support will be around 7700 and a crucial resistance


will be around 8340.

DERIVATIVES

Derivative View: Market in a very strong upward momentum


The Nifty started the May series on a flattish note with some negative
bias and, throughout the series, it remained in a range of 77008000 level. However, in the last two trading sessions, the bulls
took over the charge completely and showed a sharp jump of more
than 300 points. Most of the upside was backed by a significant
amount of addition of long position, as open interest of the Nifty
in the last few trading session shot up by more than 30% and with
a high roll-over of around 73%, a majority of this position got
carried forward to the next series too. Apart from the Nifty, the
Bank Nifty had also seen a significant amount of a long build-up in
the last series and both have seen a high roll-over indicating that a
majority of the position is still intact in the system.

Roll-overs in the Nifty stood at 72.82% compared to its previous


month roll-over of 73.92%. Market wide roll-over was at 84.48%
compared to its previous month roll-over of 84.64%.

STOCK FUTURES (SHAREKHAN SCRIP CODE)

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs), in the initial part of the May


series, were seen unwinding their long position in index futures.
Most of the time, they were the net sellers in the cash market segment
due to which markets struggled in the first half of the series.
However, in the second half, they started building a decent amount
of long position in index futures. Then, they were also the net buyers
in the cash market due to which the market bounced back sharply
from the 7800 level and closed above 8000 in the May series.

The put/call ratio (PCR), after a long time, started this series at a

sharp upside observed in the last few trading sessions as it settled
below 16.00 at the 15.33 level. Seeing the above data and with
high rollover of long position the market is in a strong momentum
on the higher side and, going forward 8500 level can be targeted in
the coming trading session.

Crude oil: Likely to decline on dollar, elevated OPEC production, ample US inventories
Key points
 Iran: Output ceiling has no benefit to the country; wants country-specific quota
 Oil records longest run of monthly gains in five years
 Oil price gains supported by outages in Nigeria, Canada, Venezuela, and decline in the US oil rigs
 US companies idled more than 1000 rigs since the start of last year
 The number of US oil rigs at the lowest level since October 2009
 WTI oil short positions at the lowest level in last 11 months
 Nigerias crude oil production is down by 50% since the start of the year due to attacks on pipelines
 Some oil companies restart production in Canada as fires ease amid cooler weather

Crude oil

CMP: $49

Crude oil prices were sharply up as the decline in the US crude oil stockpiles, continuous decline in the US oil rigs, seasonally strong
demand period and shrinking US fuel stockpiles helped the prices rise. The market is under the impression that the oil surplus would give
rise to oil deficit as the demand recovers while the US oil inventories decline. Another major factor that helped the counter-clock gains has
been outages in Nigeria, Canada, Venezuela and Nigeria, etc , which added to the supply concerns. The sharp gains in crude oil came
despite the increasing possibility of a rate hike by the Fed. However, crude oil rally looks overdone as Chinas economic indicators have
been disappointing and the US Dollar is set to rally further. Also, with prices hovering around $50, we can see some of the oil producers
restarting production. Irans oil production is rising. US oil inventories level is near a record high. Some of the lost Nigerian oil output
can be restored in the coming days. Apart from all these factors, OPEC does not have much control over the production quota. The WTI
oil counter is likely to trade between $42 and $52 in the near term.

Gold

CMP: $1,215

Gold prices fell sharply last month on the growing possibility of a rate hike by the US Federal Reserve. It is to be noted that even the dovish camp,
the Federal Reserve officials, has been vocal about the possibility of a rate hike in the coming months. The latest FOMC minutes revealed that the
members view negative rates as politically toxic. Janet Ms Yellen, the Fed chairwoman, opined that it would be appropriate to hike rates in the
coming months. Another bearish factor for gold has been a weaker physical demand in India and China. The markets are still not discounting the
two rate hikes fully. The yellow metal managed to survive a brief dip below $1200. The disappointing US non-farm payroll report of May would
help gold recover some of its lost ground. The markets would be focused on the UK referendum due on June 23. If the country decided to remain
in the European Union, the US Federal Reserve would move ahead with its hike agenda in July. Thus, gold would face selling into rallies. The
expected range is $1,200-$1,270 in the near term.

Silver

CMP: $16

The economic indicators out of China are negative for the metal. However, Chinas silver imports have been up in the first quarter. We expect
a downside pressure on the base metals to resume as seasonal weakness sets in. The white metal is expected to trade between $15.80 and $16.80
in the near term as it would be helped by gold to some extent.

Copper

CMP: Rs309/kg (June 2016 contract)

MCX copper ended May lower at Rs312.50/kg, down by 6.50% owing to weak Chinese manufacturing data and fall in Chinas copper imports in
April. Copper inventories on the London Metal Exchange (LME) were mildly up at 151,725 ton by May-end from 149,500 ton in the previous
month, however coming off from highs of 161,625 ton during the month. Copper prices were supported at lower levels on fall in stocks on the
Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) which were at 221,212 ton down by 29% from 3,11,894 ton last month. Chinas refined copper imports were
lower at 341,677 ton (down by 25.40% over 458,068 tons in March 2016). EIU estimates the copper supply growth to remain muted in 2016 as
Chinas largest suppliers pledged to cut output by 350,000 ton along with the global suppliers like Glencore. Also, supply cuts from the US on lower
realisation would support prices. We expect copper to remain supported at lower levels and trade in range of Rs286/kg to Rs342/kg at the upper end.

Lead

CMP:Rs117/kg (June 2016 contract)

MCX lead ended May lower at Rs113.70/kg down by 4.60% from Rs119.20 in April on rising inventories on exchanges and saturation in battery demand.
Lead inventories on LME rose by 6% to 185,475 tons from 175,025 ton in April. On SHFE, inventories rose by 29% to 26,845 ton from 20,778 ton in
April 2016. EIU estimates Chinas lead consumption to remain mixed in 2016 as weak battery demand from the e-cycle sector stagnating for first time in
16 years, rising environmental concerns supporting lithium-based battery demand over lead acidic batteries and lower oil prices supporting global fleet
demand would continue to evoke mixed views on lead. In view of current factors, we expect lead to trade in range of Rs122/kgRs.108/kg.

Zinc

CMP: Rs134/kg (June 2016 contract)

MCX zinc outperformed other base metals, albeit ending May with slight gains at Rs129.40/kg helped by an expected deficit and bullish estimation reports
from Goldman Sachs supporting the metal. Also, Glencore supported the view that structural deficit was returning in zinc markets. Zinc inventories on
LME fell by 5.80% to 380,700 ton in May from 404,275 tons in April on improved demand-and-supply slowdown. Stocks on SHFE also fell to 230,557

ton from 259,549 ton down by over 11%. EIU expects the global zinc output to contract by 1.4% in 2016 while the Chinese supply to fall by 2% on
tightening concentrates and concerted efforts by the Chinese producers to control production. We expect zinc has already outperformed in very short
duration and further rallies could face headwinds. We expect zinc to trade in the range of Rs141/kgRs124/kg.

Nickel

CMP: Rs570/kg (June 2016 contract)

MCX nickel turned out worst performer amongst the base metals in May ending at Rs568.70/kg down by 9.50% from Rs.628.60/kg, weighed by
rising stockpiles and weak stainless steel demand. Nickel inventories on SHFE rose steeply to 96,491 ton surging 15% from 83,887 ton in May,
although inventories on the LME fell slightly to 401,766 ton from 417,438 ton. Visible stocks in the exchange are at almost 500,000 ton with the
possibility of almost 150,000 tied up in finance deals, according to Norlisk. We expect nickel to remain in the range of Rs510/kgRs660/kg in
near term as stockpiles would weigh on rallies in the absence of any meaningful supply cuts.

Chana June futures were one of the largest gainers in the agri
commodities basket in May. Prices gained 7% MoM to Rs6,035
per quintal from Rs5,640 last month. Prices made a record high of
Rs6,146 towards the end of the month. Prices gained due to lower
arrivals of chana and due to lower output. A good demand from
millers and buying by the stockists also supported the prices.
However, the prices eased marginally from record levels towards
the end of the month due lower demand from millers at higher
levels. The demand in the spot markets has also declined at record
levels.
Chana may trade on a mixed note in the coming days. A sluggish
demand at record prices and lack of bulk demand by the millers
may help ease the prices. However, a lower arrival pressure of the
new crop may support the prices.

Soya bean June futures largely remained under the grip of bears in
May due to weak soya meal export demand as well a forecast of
above-normal monsoon. However, expectations of a decline in soya
bean acreage due to a likely shift towards pulses cushioned the
downside. Higher soya bean prices on CBOT due to good demand
for US soya meal from China as well as crop concerns in Argentina
also cushioned the downside. Prices declined 5.03% lower MoM
at Rs3,835 compared with Rs4,038 in the previous month.
According to SEA of India, soya meal exports from India declined
92% to 1,442 tonne in April 2016 compared with 18,017 tonne in
April 2015. We expect soya bean prices to continue to remain weak
over the days to come. Forecast of above-normal rains by both, the
IMD as well as Skymet, may keep prices under a downside pressure.
A weak soya meal export demand for Indian soya meal may add to
the downside pressure. However, lower supplies in the domestic
market and rising global soya bean prices may support the prices.
Fears of a lower sowing of the oilseed due to a shift towards pulses
may also lend support to the prices.

Jeera June futures started the month of May on a bullish note on


good export demand and buying from stockists. It made a contract
high of Rs18,040 in the first week. However, prices declined from
higher levels on increasing arrivals of the new crop as well as forecast
of above-normal rains this year. Prices declined 7.39% month-onmonth (MoM) to Rs16,345 per quintal from Rs17,650 last month.
Jeera may trade on a mixed note. Higher arrivals coupled with
comfortable carryover stocks may pressurise the prices. However,
a good export demand coupled with the demand for a good quality
crop from the domestic buyers may cushion the downside and
support prices at lower levels.

GBPINR

CMP: Rs67.30 (spot)

The Indian Rupee (INR) depreciated by 0.87% against the US Dollar in the previous month on the back of a strong dollar and downbeat macro-economic data.
The dollar advanced due to hawkish statements from the US Federal Reserve officials and improvement in the economic data. Further, concerns over delay in
monsoon and rise in the CPI data dampen the expectation of a rate-cut by the RBI. Foreign institutional investors (FII)s net outflows added a downside pressure
on the rupee. FIIs net sold stocks and bonds worth Rs1,865.88 crore in May.
Outlook: INR is expected to trade with a negative bias on the back of a strong dollar. Further, investors will remain cautious ahead of the FOMC meeting. The
market fears that FII outflows may be seen if the US Federal Reserve hikes the interest rate in June. A rise in the CPI data dampens the expectation of a rate-cut
by the RBI. Investors are moving towards a safe haven and pulling back from riskier assets as the market sentiment is hurt after downbeat manufacturing data
round the globe led to concerns over the global economic health. As per the latest REER reading (provisional) (110.62), the rupee is overvalued by more than
10%. The expected trading range in the near term is 66.068.60.

GBP-INR

CMP: Rs75.34 (spot)

The euro depreciated by 2.78% on the back of a strong dollar and a cut in the growth forecast by the EU. Further, downbeat economic data from
euro zone and divergence in the monetary policy added a downside pressure. The dollar gained strength after the US Federal Reserve officials
signaled that the central bank may raise the rate sooner than expected. Europe flash GDP expanded at a slower pace at 0.5% in Q1 2016
compared to an initial estimate of 0.6%. Europe CPI fell to -0.2% in April.
Outlook: The euro currency expected to remain under pressure as traders will remain cautious ahead of the European Central Bank and the US
Federal Reserve policy meeting. If the US Federal Reserve increases the rates, the demand for dollar may shoot up. The European Central Bank
is likely to keep its policy unchanged. Any dovish statement from the ECB officials may weigh on the euro. A strong dollar and divergence in the
monetary policy will add a downside pressure. Further, downbeat economic data from the euro zone will hurt the euro. The expected trading
range in the near term is 73.3077.0.

The pound depreciated by 0.88% on the back of a strong dollar and divergence in the monetary policy. Further, downbeat economic data added
a downside pressure. The IMF joined BoE in warning of risk if the UK leaves the EU. However, a sharp fall was cushioned on rise in hopes that
Britain will remain in the EU.
Outlook: The pound is expected to remain under pressure as traders will remain cautious ahead of a referendum. If the UK votes to remain in the
EU, we may see an upside in pound as the market sentiment will improve. However, later, the pound may correct reflecting a weak economic
data. Such data from the UK will add fear among the investors that the economy is losing momentum. Activity in manufacturing, services and
construction sector may slow down. The expected trading range in the near term is 95.60100.50.

JPY-INR

CMP: Rs61.67(spot)

The yen depreciated by 3.97% on the back of a strong dollar and divergence in the monetary policy. The US Federal Reserve officials signaled
that the central bank may raise the rate sooner than expected, whereas Bank of Japan is expected to continue with its loose monetary stance.
Japan's officials said that Tokyo was ready to intervene in the currency market if needed.
Outlook: The yen is expected to trade with a positive bias on the back of an upbeat economic data from Japan. Further, the demand for a safe
haven may increase on rise in risk aversion in the global markets, worries over the global economic health and a volatility in the crude oil prices.
The Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced a delay of two and a half years in the sales tax increase. Delay in the tax hike for a longer
term raised concerns about the lack of Japanese monetary stimulus. Traders will remain cautious ahead of the outcome of the OPEC meeting and
the US Federal Reserve monetary policy meeting. The expected trading range in near term is 59.2064.30.

EUR-INR: Upside potential

USD-INR: Scaling up




USD-INR had crossed the all-time high of 68.80 and made a


new high of 68.89. However, it could not sustain in the higher
territory and reacted sharply.
The fall found support near a crucial swing low as well as near
the lower end of a medium-term rising channel. It formed an
accumulation triangle near those supports and started rallying.
The rally is breaking up into lower degree waves and a minor
degree correction has taken support near the key daily moving
averages (DMAs). The daily momentum indicator is in line with
the price action.
Subsequent levels on the upside will be 67.80-68.30. On the
other hand, 66.60-66.50 will act as a key support zone on a
closing basis

After a sharp fall in February, the EUR-INR found support


near a medium-term rising trendline. From there, the EUR-INR
moved up in March andApril. In the month gone by, the
currency pair has witnessed a short-term correction.
The price has reached near a short-term and a medium-term
rising trendline. A key support zone will be 74.30-73.90. Till
the time these levels hold on a closing basis, the currency pair
can resume the larger up-trend.
On the upside, EUR-INR can test the swing high of 77 and,
beyond that, the falling trendline from the previous swing high,
which is near 77.50.

From the high of 105.54, GBP-INR entered a correction mode.


The fall retraced 78.6% of the previous rise and unfolded in a
channelised manner. The price reached a near lower end of the
channel, where it formed an Ending Diagonal pattern, which
broke out on the upside.
Since then, the price is heading higher. Recently, it crossed upper
end of the channel and is retesting the channel line. A short-term
rising trendline as well as key DMAs are nearby.
From a short-term perspective, 99.50 & 100.92 ie 50% and
61.8% retracement mark, respectively, will be the key levels on
the upside. The bullish potential remains intact as long as the
swing low of 95.65 holds.

JPY-INR is an up-trend from a medium-term perspective. The recent


short-term correction found support near the junction of daily lower
Bollinger Band and the key DMAs and multiple rising trendlines.
From there, the currency pair seems to have started the next leg on the
upside. The short-term momentum indicator has triggered a bullish
crossover whereas the medium-term momentum indicator is already
in a bullish mode.
Thus, the recent low of 60.27 will act as a crucial support. On the
higher side, 62.84 and 64 will be the targets from a short and mediumterm perspective, respectively.

FUND MANAGERS VIEW


After months of positive returns and good winning signals we finally faced a narrow
trading range that resulted in four long-short signals that were unprofitable. This
caused a drawdown in the net asset value of the Index Futures Fund. As always,
every drawdown is followed by a winning streak and we should expect the same
here.

Disclaimer: Returns are based on a clients


returns since inception and may be different from
those depicted in the risk disclosure document.

The market itself had started to trend nicely in 2015, something we had expected to
continue. So this months non-trending market came as a surprise. Having said that,
this trend cannot be permanent. The market has been in a low-volatility environment
for years which is not sustainable and when volatility shoots up so will our returns.
Till then, we are still in a low-return environment.

FUND MANAGERS VIEW


A return of 0.77% for the month is small but is a good start to the new financial year,
as Trailing Stops had ended the last year with flat returns. Huge variations in stock
behavior vs index behavior have put us on a back foot in terms of taking risk. Our
focus remains on capital preservation till the market starts to trend clearly with broadbased market participation.

Investments in
Nifty Index
Stock futures

A broad-based participation is usually good for our top-down trading approach for
this fund.
Our market view remains that we will see increasing volatility in the months ahead
which should see the sectors in the market align in terms of direction.

Automobiles
Apollo Tyres

Apollo Tyres is the market leader in truck and bus tyre segments with a 28% market share in India. The company
will be investing $600mn over the next three years to set up a greenfield facility in Hungary and Rs4,000 crore to
expand capacity at Chennai facility. The expanded capacities are likely to come on stream by 2017-18. Also the
recent foray in the 2 wheeler tyres strengthens Apollo Tyres presence across all the key automobile segments. The
operating margins are likely to dip by 300BPS to 13.6% in FY2017 given the increased raw material prices and
inability to take price hikes. We maintain our Buy recommendation on the stock with a revised price target of Rs180.

Ashok Leyland

Ashok Leyland, the second largest CV manufacturer in India, is a pure CV play. The MHCV have witnessed a
sustained recovery and have been growing in double digits over the past few quarters. We expect MHCV volumes
to remain buoyant over FY16-17 driven by a pick-up in the economic cycle, Mining & Infrastructure projects,
improved operator profitability, expectations of a normal monsoon and phase-wise implementation of Bharat
Stage IV norms across the country leading to pre-buying. Also, recent focus on defence sector would boost the top
line, albeit in the long term. A favorable product mix and an operating leverage will enable the company to
improve its margins. We have a Buy recommendation on the stock with a price target of Rs120.

Bajaj Auto

Bajaj Autos domestic motorcycle volumes have been under pressure over the last couple of years largely due to
issues in the executive segment However, the launch of CT100 and refreshed Platina has given a much needed
volume push while the newly launched Pulsar variants, Avenger and V-series would help consolidate its leadership
in the premium and luxury motorcycle segments. The macro-economic issues (sharp currency depreciation) in the
key export markets including Nigeria have affected the dispatches to these countries and the impact is likely to be
felt for the next one to two quarters. The launch of its quadricycle, RE60, has been delayed by legal issues and the
matter is expected to be sorted soon and will be a trigger for re-rating of the stock. The new permit issues in the
three-wheeler space shall act as key triggers for the company in the short term. Further, margins would also come
under pressure given the increase in the commodity prices, increased marketing expenses and expiry of incentives
at the Pantnagar plant. We maintain a Hold rating on the stock with an unchanged price target of Rs2,600.

Gabriel India

Gabriel is one of Indias leading manufacturers of shock absorbers and front forks with a diversified customer
base. Gabriels revenues are expected to grow at a healthy 12% CAGR due to improved outlook for the twowheeler industry, ramp-up in supplies to Honda Motorcycle and Scooters new plant in Gujarat and to the new
models of both Maruti Suzuki and M&M. In the near term the stock performance would be influenced by the
recovery in the two-wheeler markets and a likely positive rub-off from the implementation of the recommendations
of the Seventh Pay Commission and expectations of a normal monsoon in 2016. Also, the companys efforts to
curb raw material costs driven by value engineering and better sourcing coupled with operating leverage is likely
to lead to margin improvement. Therefore, we continue with our Buy rating on the stock with a price target of
Rs105.

Hero MotoCorp

HMCL is the largest two-wheeler manufacturer in the world with sales of over 6.6 mn vehicles in FY16 and a
domestic market share of 39%. We expect the two-wheeler industry to grow at 10-12% CAGR over the next five
years driven by increased penetration levels in rural areas and replacement demand. HMCL is expected to maintain
its leadership position in the industry with new launches in the premium motorcyles and scooters segments.
Further, massive capex plans implemented by the company in the past including production from Gujarat plant
are likely to commence operations in H1FY2017 which shall ramp up the production levels. However HMCLs
margins are likely to reduce by around 100BPS to 14.5% for FY2017 due to increased R&D expenses, commodity
price increases and higher marketing and advertising expenses. We have downgraded our rating on the stock from
Buy to Hold with a revised price target of Rs3,000.

M&M

M&M is a leading maker of tractors and UVs in India. We expect demand for the automobile segment to pick up
with an improvement in customer sentiment. Additionally, new launches especially in the compact UV space will
drive volume growth. After growing in strong double digits, the tractor demand was under pressure in FY15-16
due to weak monsoon. However, with the expectation of normal rainfall we expect the tractor segment to recover
and report a strong growth in FY17. We remain positive on the stock, given its leadership position in the domestic
tractor and UV segments as well as the value derived from its subsidiaries across business segments. We maintain
our Buy rating on the stock with a price target of Rs1,450.

Maruti Suzuki

Maruti Suzuki is Indias largest passenger vehicle maker with a strong 46% market share. It has been able to gain
market share over the last two years on the back of a diverse product portfolio, a large distribution network with
an increased focus on rural markets and a shift in consumer preference to petrol models from diesel. It is poised to
reap the benefits from the increased discretionary spending from the Seventh Pay Commission pay-out. The
recently launched premium hatchback, Baleno and Compact SUV Vitara Brezza have received a positive response
which will help the company expand market share in the segment. Further, the company has a pipeline of new
launches over the next few years, with the most important being the entry into the compact utility vehicle and
light commercial vehicle segments. The management plans to double its existing sales and distribution network in
order to achieve its target of doubling domestic volumes over the next five years. MSILs yen exposure is expected
to reduce with a higher localisation level while the royalty on future models shall be INR denominated, thus
shielding the OPMs partly. We remain positive on the stock with a price target of Rs4,700.

Rico is one of the largest producers of high-pressure non-ferrous die castings for the auto sector. It has divested its
50% stake in a joint venture with FCC Co., Japan for Rs495 crore. The significant cash flow (nearly equivalent to
current market cap) is expected to be a game changer for the company and has enabled it to deleverage its balance
sheet. Additionally, a lower interest burden will result in a growth in the earnings and free cash flow. The company
expects a revenue growth of 15% in the coming years. Further, Hero MotoCorps (biggest client contributing 32%
of revenues) new products especially in the scooter segment will add up to the revenues of Rico Auto. While a likely
improved performance from the two-wheeler segment and incremental revenues from the Chennai plant provide
comfort on top-line growth, the hardening of raw material prices are likely to affect the OPM, going forward. We
maintain our Buy recommendation on the stock with a price target of Rs47.
TVS Motor is the fourth largest two-wheeler manufacturer in the country with a strong presence in the scooter
segment. The scooter segment has surpassed the growth in the motorcycle segment over the past couple of years and
currently contributes 30% of the total two-wheeler volumes. With the launch of the Jupiter, the refreshed Wego and
the new Scooty Zest, the company has balanced its scooter portfolio and witnessed incremental volumes. On the
motorcycle front, two new launches in January 2016 (Apache RTR and Victor) have generated higher volumes for
the company. In addition, launches in H2FY17 in the premium segment in collaboration with BMW would aid
market share gains. Exports remain challenging due to currency headwinds and are likely to stabilise over the next
two to three quarters. The OPM is likely to remain under pressure as the marketing and brand promotion expenses
would remain elevated. Further, increased competition would lead to pricing pressure which would also restrict
margin improvement. We maintain our Reduce rating on the stock with a price target of Rs250.
Banks & Finance
With a wide network of over 3,000 branches spread across India, Allahabad Bank enjoys a stronghold in north and east
India. But it has reported a rise in NPAs resulting in deterioration of its asset quality. Higher proportion of stressed
loans and low tier-I CAR remain the key concerns of the bank.

Rico Auto Inds.

TVS Motor

Allahabad Bank

Axis Bank

Axis Bank is the third largest private sectors bank, continues to grow faster than the industry and has diversified
its book in favour of the retail segment (~40% of loans in retail segment). The banks liability profile has improved
significantly which would help to sustain the margins at healthy levels. We expect the earnings growth to remain
reasonably strong driven by a healthy operating performance. While asset quality pressures have emerged as pain
points due to infrastructure and steel exposures, we expect the stress to persist in near term.

Bajaj Finance

Bajaj Finance, owned by Bajaj Finserv, is one of the most diversified and leading NBFCs in the country. It has
assets spread across products, viz loans for consumer durables, two- and three-wheelers, loans to small and medium
enterprises (SMEs), mortgage loans and commercial loans. Despite a strong growth in loans, the asset quality and
provisioning remain among the best in the system. Given the strong growth rate, high margins and return ratios,
it deserves to trade at a premium to the other NBFCs

Bajaj Finserv

Bajaj Finserv is a financial conglomerate having presence in financing business (vehicle finance, consumer finance
and distribution) and is among the top players in the life insurance and general insurance segments. Its consumer
finance (Bajaj Finance) and general insurance businesses continue to report a robust performance while the life
insurance business is showing signs of a pick-up after being affected by a change in regulations.

Bank of Baroda

Bank of Baroda is among the top public sector banks (PSBs) having a sizeable overseas presence (over 100 offices
in 24 countries) and a strong network of over 5,000 branches across the country. It has a stronghold in western
and eastern India. Its performance metrics remain better than that of the other PSBs and asset quality has deteriorated
in line with the RBIs directive to clean the balance sheet.

Bank of India

Bank of India has a network of over 4,800 branches, spread across the country and abroad, along with a diversified
product and services portfolio, and steadily growing assets. The operating performance and earnings have eroded
significantly due to margin deterioration and sharp rise in NPAs. Given the rise in the number of incremental
stressed loans and the relatively weaker capital position, its valuations may remain subdued.

Capital First

Capital First (erstwhile Future Capital Holdings) had been acquired by global private equity firm, Warburg Pincus
(a 72% stake). The present management has taken several initiatives to tap the high-growth retail product segments,
like gold loans, loan against property and loan against shares. It has a strong CAR and sound asset quality. Its
loan book is expected to sustain a 25-30% growth in the next three years. As a result of several initiatives taken,
the operating leverage will play out and may lead to significant pick-up in profitability over medium term.

Corp Bank

Corporation Bank is a mid-sized PSB having a relatively higher presence in south India. It is predominantly
exposed to the corporate segment, which constitutes about 45% of its book. Due to a higher dependence on the
wholesale business and a low CASA ratio, it lags its peers in terms of operational performance. Also, the rise in
NPAs could keep provisioning high and weaken earnings performance.

Federal Bank

Federal Bank is among the better performing old private sector banks in India with a strong presence in south
India, especially Kerala. Under the new management, the bank has taken several initiatives, which would improve
the quality of its earnings and asset book. The asset quality has shown stress in the past few quarters, though we
expect a gradual improvement in the NPAs and the operating performance to pick up gradually. The valuations
seems attractive over the medium to long term.

HDFC

HDFC is among the top mortgage lenders providing housing loans to individuals, corporates and developers. It
has interests in banking, asset management and insurance through its key subsidiaries. As these subsidiaries are
growing faster than HDFC, the value contributed by them would be significantly higher going forward. Due to a
dominant market share and consistent return ratios, it should continue to command a premium over the other
NBFCs. Any unlocking of value from its insurance business will be positive for the stock.

HDFC Bank

HDFC Bank is among the top performing banks in the country having deep roots in the retail segments. Despite
the general slowdown in the credit growth, the bank continues to report a strong growth in advances from retail
products. Its relatively high margins (compared with its peers), strong branch network and better asset quality
make HDFC Bank a safe bet and there is scope for expansion in the valuations.

ICICI Bank

ICICI Bank is Indias largest private sector bank with a network of over 3,800 branches in India and a presence in
around 18 countries. The bank has made inroads into retail loans (~45% of the book) and significantly improved
its liability franchisee. The operating profit improved significantly though its exposure to some troubled sectors
(infrastructure, steel etc) has increased pressure on the asset quality. However, a healthy growth in the operating
income and proceeds from monetisation of the stake in subsidiaries will help to deal with the NPA challenges.

IDBI Bank

IDBI Bank is one of leading PSBs of India in terms of size of asset, though it is largely present in the corporate
lending space. It is gradually working towards improving its liability base and expanding the retail book which is
likely to reflect in the form of better margins and return ratios. However, due to huge asset quality pressure, low
tier-I CAR and slower business growth, the stock is likely to underperform in the near term.

LIC Housing

LICHFL is the third largest mortgage financier (including banks) in India with a market share of 11% and loan
book of over Rs1,00,000 crore. It is promoted by Life Insurance Corporation of India, which is among the most
trusted brand in the country. With over 200 branches, 1,241 direct sales agents, 6,535 home loan agents and 782
customer relationship associates, the company has among the strongest distribution structures in India to support
business expansion. Going ahead, a revival in the economy and moderation in the borrowing rates could be the
key triggers for the stock. Therefore, considering stable RoE of ~20%, sound asset quality and healthy growth
outlook, the companys fundamentals are strong.

PNB

Punjab National Bank has one of the best liability mixes in the banking space, with low-cost deposits constituting
around 40% of its total deposits. This helps it to maintain one of the highest margins among PSBs. However, in
view of the weakness in the economy and relatively higher exposure to troubled sectors, the asset quality stress has
increased and NPA issues will persist over next few quarters.

PFS

PTC India Financial Services, owned by PTC India, is focused on providing financial solutions to projects in the energy
value chain. Given the robust lending opportunities in the renewable energy segment and the likely reforms in the
thermal power segment, the loan growth is expected to remain strong over the next two to three years. The proceeds
from exits in investments would add to the profitability. The asset quality despite some deterioration is manageable.

SBI

State Bank of India is the largest bank of India with loan assets of over Rs14 lakh crore. The successful merger of
the associate banks and value unlocking from insurance business could provide further upside for the bank. While
the bank is favourably placed in terms of liability base and the operating profit is also better than peers; the asset
quality has emerged as a key pain point which will affect the earnings growth.

Union Bank

Union Bank of India has a strong branch network and an all-India presence. The bank aspires to become the
largest retail, MSME bank. Hence, it has ramped up its manpower and infrastructure to ramp up retail, SME
lending. The banks asset quality challenges have come to fore (mainly from the corporate portfolio) whereas low
tier-1 CAR also remains an area of concern.

Yes Bank

Yes Bank, a new generation private bank, started its operations in November 2004 and has emerged as among
the top performing banks. It follows a unique business model based on knowledge banking, which offers product
depth and a sustainable competitive edge over established banking players. The bank is suitably poised to ride
the recovery in the economy and the retail deposit franchise is showing a sharp improvement which will support
the margins in the medium to long term.

Britannia

Emami

GSK Consumer

Consumer goods
Britannia is the second largest player in the Indian biscuit market with about 30% market share. Under a new
leadership, Britannia has been able to leverage and monetise its strong brand and position in the biscuit and snack
segments. The company can sustain its higher than industry growth rates with an improving distribution reach, entry
into newer categories and focus on cost efficiency. We recommend a Buy on the stock with a price target of Rs3,550.
Emami is one of the largest players in the domestic FMCG market with a strong presence in the under-penetrated
categories such as cooling oil, antiseptic cream, balm and mens fairness cream. The recently acquired Kesh King
brand improves the product and margin profiles of the company. The desire to become a large FMCG player by riding
on a portfolio of differentiated brands and improving reach in various geographies will help Emami to achieve a
growth of over 17% CAGR over the next two to three years. We recommend a Buy on the stock.
GSK Consumer Healthcare is a leading player in the MFD segment with a close to 70% share in the domestic market.
Judicious new launches and brand extensions, and the expansion of its distribution reach have helped it to stay ahead
of the competition and maintain its pricing power over the years. In a bid to de-risk its business model, it has expanded
its product portfolio by entering into new categories such as biscuits and oats in the recent years. With cash balance
of more than Rs2,500 crore the company can invest in growth initiatives as well as reward its investors with a healthy
dividend payment. We recommend Buy on the stock.

Godrej Consumer Products is a major player in personal wash, hair colour and household insecticide market
segments in India. The recent acquisitions, ie Strength of Nature, Darling Group, Tura, Megasari and Latin
American companies, have helped the company to expand its geographic footprint and improve growth prospects.
We believe the decent sales volume growth in the domestic business coupled with a strong growth in the Indonesian,
African and Argentine businesses would help it to achieve an 18% top line growth and a 26% bottom line growth
(CAGR) over FY15-17.
Hindustan Unilever is Indias largest FMCG Company. With moderate inflation, improving sentiments in the
urban market and expectations of a better monsoon, HULs volume growth in the domestic business is expected
to improve in the coming years. Also, new product launches and entry into new categories will drive the performance
of the company in future. With improving business fundamentals the downside risk in the stock price is limited.
Hence, we recommend a Buy on the stock. In the long term, it will be one of the key beneficiaries of the Indian
consumerism story.
ITC has a strategy of effectively utilising the excess cash generated from its cash cow, the cigarette business, to
strengthen and enhance its other non-cigarette businesses. This would nurture the growth of these businesses some
of which are at a nascent stage. The quantum of excise duty of 10% declared in the Union budget 2016-17 was
much lower than in the earlier years. This should help in stabilising cigarette sales volume in the coming years. The
current valuation makes ITC one of the cheapest stocks in the large-cap FMCG space.

GCPL

HUL

ITC

Jyothy Labs

Jyothy Laboratories is the market leader in the fabric whitener segment in India. With the successful integration of
Henkel and the induction of a new management team led by S Raghunanadan, it has transformed itself from a
one-brand wonder to an aggressive FMCG player. We expect its top line to grow at a CAGR of 15%. A stable
OPM and lower interest cost would aid the PAT to grow at 26% CAGR over FY15-17.

Marico

Marico is among Indias leading FMCG companies. Its core brands, Parachute and Saffola, have a strong footing
in the market. It follows a three-pronged strategy which hinges on expansion of its existing brands, launch of new
product categories (especially in the beauty and wellness space) and growth through acquisitions. While the domestic
product portfolio is likely to achieve a steady growth in volumes, the international business is yet to gain momentum.
Marico has been our preferred pick in the FMCG sector and we remain positive on its long-term growth story.

Zydus Wellness

Firstsource

Zydus Wellness is bearing the brunt of a limited product portfolio of three brands (Nutralite, Sugar Free and
Everyuth) that cater to a niche category. The company would benefit from a lower input cost, improving urban
consumer sentiment and a new distribution system in FY17. Thus, we expect a better operating performance from
it in FY17.
IT/IT services
Firstsource Solutions is a specialized BPO service provider. The management expects to deliver a 10-12% growth
in FY2017. The health of its balance sheet is improving gradually as the company is gradually reducing its debt
burden through internal accruals. The company expects to be comfortably net cash positive by the end of FY17
and have a total debt of $85 million by the end of FY17. We expect the earnings momentum to gather steam and
FSL to deliver higher numbers in the coming years.

HCL Tech

HCL Technologies is a global technology company. Its management indicates that the demand environment looks
promising with an increase in market share coupled with a significant increase in the deal funnel. However, the
increasing complexity of IMS engagement has led to a delay in project ramp-ups in the IMS business (accounts for
35% of its revenues). Nevertheless, the management has made investments in digital technologies and Internet of
things (IOT), and already won a few deals in the space. (25% of total deals wins in FY2015 comes from digital
space). However, the margins are expected to remain under pressure in the medium term owing to integration
margins headwinds from Volvo (Q1FY17) and Geometric (end of FY17). We remain positive on the company in
view of its order wins, healthy pipeline of deals and superior earnings visibility, notwithstanding some near-term
softness in the IMS vertical owing to some projects delays.

Infosys

Infosys is India's premier IT and IT-enabled Services Company that provides business consulting, technology,
engineering and outsourcing services. For FY17, the management has provided a revenue growth guidance of 11.513.5% (on CC basis), ahead of NASSCOMs Indian IT industry growth guidance of 10-12% for FY17, which implies
a CQGR of 3.3-4.1%. It has also given a promising aspiration target for 2020 of achieving $20bn in revenues and
30% in margin. Under the leadership of Vishal Sikka, the company is doing the right thing by investing in the digital
space (both organic and inorganic), improving client engagement through design thinking, and automating and
innovating for future growth prospects. We remain positive on the companys growth prospects for the coming years.

Persistent

Persistent Systems has proven expertise and a strong presence in newer technologies, strength to improve its IP
base and the best-in-the-class margin profile which set it apart from the other mid-cap IT companies. Looking at
the strong growth in enterprise revenue, whose contribution to the revenues has increased to 26.0% in Q4FY16 as
against 24.1% a year ago, PSLs enterprise digital transformation strategy is shaping up well. Further, led by the
recent acquisitions of two units of US-based cloud software firm, Citrix Systems, a pick-up in the IP-led revenues
with the acquisition of newer products and recent alliance with IBM to build IoT solutions for IBMs Watson
platform, we expect the revenue momentum to accelerate in FY17 and the margins are likely to remain stable on
the back of the initiatives taken by the company.

TCS

Tata Consultancy Services is among the pioneers of the IT services outsourcing business in India and is the largest
IT service firm in the country. Its management expects the digital revenues to grow much faster in the coming
years; these grew by 52.2% YoY to $2.3 billion in FY16. The management noted that headcount addition will be
materially lower than in FY16 and dependence on Visas will come down. We remain positive on the company,
given its strong positioning, scale advantage and head start in digital technology.

Wipro

BHEL

Wipro is among the top five IT companies in India but in the last few years it has been lagging the industry in terms
of growth. We believe, owing to weakness in the energy, telecom, and some project deferrals, its unlikely to show
material improvement in earnings on an organic basis in FY17. The management has given an ambitious target of
$15 billion revenues and 23% margin by 2020, but refrained from giving any timeline to track the roadmap of the
improvement. We see the target of new CEO Abid Ali Neemuchwala as an uphill task looking at the current growth
trajectory. Therefore, we remain sceptical, as anecdotal evidence on Wipro in the last two to three years does not
inspire confidence.
Capital goods/Power
Bharat Heavy Electricals, Indias biggest power equipment manufacturer, has been the prime beneficiary of the multifold increase in the investments made in the domestic power sector over the last few years. However, the order inflow
has been showing signs of slowing down which would remain a major concern for the company. The key challenge
before the company now would be to maintain a robust order inflow and margin amid rising competition and lower

CESC is the power distributor in Kolkata and Howrah (backed by 1,225MW of power generation capacity) which
is a strong cash generating business. Further, 600MW of regulated generation capacity (to serve Kolkata distribution)
has come on stream recently in Haldia. Also its 600MW thermal power project at Chandrapur has signed PPA and
started operating. The losses in the retail business are coming down gradually over the past and it is expected to
break even soon. The BPO subsidiary, FirstSource, is performing well in line with expectations. However, the
recent diversification into unrelated businesses like IPL franchisee would hurt its valuations.

Crompton Greaves  Crompton Greaves key businessesindustrial and power systemsare passing through a rough patch and are
potential beneficiaries of the upcoming investment cycle revival. Also, the company is looking to unlock value by
selling its international subsidiaries.
Finolex Cables

Finolex Cables, a leading manufacturer of power and communications cables, is set to benefit from an improving
demand environment in its core business of cables. It is leveraging its brand strength to build a high-margin
consumer product business of fans. We see a healthy earnings growth, return ratios in high teens and superior cash
flow which bode well for the stock. Hence, we remain positive on the stock.

Greaves Cotton

Greaves Cotton is a mid-sized and well-diversified engineering company. Its core competencies are in diesel/petrol
engines, power gensets, agro engines, pump sets (engine segment) and construction equipment (infrastructure
equipment segment). The management has taken a strategic call to close and hive off the loss-making infrastructure
equipment division. GCLs growth momentum is expected to pick up and we expect 11% CAGR over FY2016-18
due to a revival in the automotive business and the agri-equipment space. A better economic growth, improved
product mix, forecast of a normal monsoon after two consecutive years of drought coupled with new product
launches are likely to spur revenue growth for GCL. We remain positive on the stock and maintain our Buy rating
with a price target of Rs160.

Kalpataru

Kalpataru Power Transmission is a leading EPC player in the transmission & distribution space in India.
Opportunities in this space are likely to grow significantly, thereby providing healthy growth visibility. The OPM
of the stand-alone business is likely to remain around 10%; however the OPM of JMC Projects (a subsidiary) is
showing signs of improvement. We retain our Buy rating.

PTC India

PTC India is a leading power trading company in India with a market share of 35-40% in the short-term trading
market. In the last few years, the company has made substantial investments in areas like power generation
projects and power project financing which will start contributing to its earnings. Long pending receivables was
one of the drags on the companys balance sheet and return ratios; however, the concern has receded after receiving
payment from UPSEB. We retain Buy due to expectations of a healthy volume uptick with an increasing share of
long-term contract business.

Skipper

Skipper is uniquely placed to exploit the growing opportunities in two lucrative segments: power (transmission
tower manufacturing and EPC projects) and water (PVC pipes). It has a comfortable order book of more than
Rs2,500 crore in the transmission business, which looks promising given the huge investments proposal by the
government in the power T&D segment in the next five years. It has expanded the PVC capacity manifold (4x)
and aspires to turn a national player from a regional player.

Thermax

The energy and environment businesses of Thermax are direct beneficiaries of the continuous rise in India Incs

Triveni Turbines

Triveni Turbines Ltd (TTL) is a market leader in the up to 30MW steam turbine segment. TTL is at an inflexion
point with a strong ramp-up in the after-market segment and overseas business while the domestic market is
showing distinct signs of a pick-up. The company has also formed a JV with GE for steam turbines of 30-100MW
range which is likely to grow multifold in the next 4-5 years. TTL is virtually a debt-free company with a limited
capex requirement and an efficient working capital cycle, reflected in very healthy return ratios. Further, boosted
by the expected uptick in the domestic capex cycle, the companys earnings are likely to grow by 25%+ per annum
over the next 3-4 years.

V Guard Ind

V-Guard Industries is an established brand in the electrical and household goods space, particularly in south
India. Over the years, it has successfully ramped up its operation and network to become a multi-product company.
The company has a strong presence in the south region. It is also aggressively expanding in non-south markets and
is particularly focusing on the tier-II and III cities where there is a lot of pent-up demand for its products.

Va Tech Wabag

Gayatri Proj

VA Tech Wabag (VTW) is one of the worlds leading companies in the water treatment field with eight decades of
plant building experience. Given the rising scarcity of fresh water availability, we expect flow of huge investments
in water segment both globally and domestically. With rising urbanisation and industrialisation in India, we
expect substantial investments in this space. Given the large opportunity ahead and inherent strengths of VTW,
like professional management, niche technical expertise and global presence.
Infrastructure/Real estate
Gayatri Projects is a Hyderabad-based infrastructure company with a very strong presence in irrigation, road and
industrial construction businesses. The order book stands at Rs10,380 crore, which is 6.5x its FY15 revenues. It
is also expanding its power and road BOT portfolio and plans to unlock value by offloading stake to private
equity. The company has potential to transform itself into a bigger entity.

IL&FS Trans

IL&FS Transportation Networks is Indias largest player in the BOT road segment with a pan-India presence and
a diverse project portfolio. The fair mix of annuity and toll projects, and state and NHAI projects along with the
geographical diversification across 12 states reduce the risk to a large extent and provide comfort. Further, a
strong pedigree along with the outsourcing of civil construction activity helps it to scale up its portfolio faster.
Thus, it is well equipped to capitalise on the huge and growing opportunity in the road infrastructure sector.

IRB Infra

IRB Infrastructure Developers is the largest toll road BOT player in India and the second largest BOT operator in
the country with all its projects being toll based. It has an integrated business model with an in-house construction
arm which provides a competitive advantage in bidding for the larger projects and captures the entire value from
the BOT asset. Further, it has a profitable portfolio as majority of its operational projects have become debt-free
and it has presence in high-growth corridors which provides healthy cash flow. Thus, it is well poised to benefit
from the huge opportunity in the road development projects on the back of its proven execution capability and the
scale of its operations.

Jaiprakash Asso

Jaiprakash Associates has been facing earnings pressure across business verticals. Further, it is in the process of
concluding its cement asset sale to deleverage its balance sheet. The construction and real estate division has also
been underperforming lately. The current uncertainty in business restructuring and liquidity concerns has led to a
cautious view on the stock.

L&T

Oil India

Larsen & Toubro, being the largest engineering and construction company in India, is a direct beneficiary of the
domestic infrastructure capex cycle. Further, backed by its sound execution track record and healthy order book, the
company will do well. Monetisation of the non-core businesses and listing of L&T Infotech would unlock value.
Measures planned by the company to improve its return ratios augur well. Hence, we remain positive on the stock.
Oil & gas
Oil India has several hydrocarbon discoveries across reserves in Rajasthan and the north-eastern region of India.
The total proven and probable reserves of the company stand at 52 MMTOE and 121 MMTOE respectively. Its
reserve-replacement ratio is also healthy. It offers a healthy dividend yield and the full benefit of the recent policy
reforms like deregulation of diesel and DBT scheme for LPG consumers are expected to reflect in its future earnings
and add value. However, weak crude oil prices are going to weigh heavily on the earnings and, in turn, on the
stock price for some time.

Reliance Ind

Selan Exploration

Reliance Industries has one of the largest and complex refining businesses in India which enjoys a substantially higher
refining margin over the benchmark GRM. Further, its petrochemical business is also highly efficient, where RIL is
expanding capacity. We expect the GRM to remain healthy and the petrochem margin to be maintained in the medium
term on an uptick in the domestic demand. Currently, the decline in gas output from the KG-D6 basin is weighing
on the stock price; however, capex in downstream business (incremental capacity in the petchem business and petcoke
gasification in refining) would be the earnings driver in the coming years. Large investment in Reliance Jio could add
value in long term.
Selan Exploration Technology is an oil E&P company with five oil fields in the oil-rich Cambay Basin of Gujarat.
The initiatives taken to monetise the oil reserves in its Bakrol and Lohar oil fields are likely to improve production.
Further, it intends to explore its next field, Indrora, which is the most prolific one with significant reserves. Based
on this, we expect it to ramp up production significantly, subject to approval for the new wells. However, weak
global oil prices are likely to be an overhang on the stock in the medium term.

Pharmaceuticals
Aurobindo Pharma  Aurobindo Pharma is set to post a healthy growth on the back of a ramp-up in the US and European markets,
thanks to a strong product pipeline built over a period and focus on niche segments like injectibles, hormones,
penems and sterile products. The expected increase in the export-led business and a favourable tilt in the revenue
mix are likely to boost the margin, resulting in a faster growth in the earnings as compared with the revenues. It
has recently acquired the commercial operations (revenue size EUR320mn) of Actavis Plc in seven western European
countries and of Natrol in the USA to take on the nutraceutical business, which is a strategic fit.
Cadila

Cadila Healthcares performance in the US generic vertical is likely to improve on the back of new product
approvals. Besides, its consumer business and exports to the emerging markets will help it to achieve a superior
growth. It got DCGI approval for its first NCE called Lipaglyn to treat type-II diabetes; this will add value to its
R&D pipeline. Cadila has recently received warning letter for two facilities. The key products like gAsacol HD,
gPrevacid, gNexium and gToprol are under process for site transfers and would be future key triggers as these
products are limited competition products.

Cipla

Cipla has brought about a paradigm shift in its business strategy. To revive growth, it has (1) enhanced focus on
technology-intensive products in the inhalation and nasal spray segments; (2) established front-end presence in the
key markets like South Africa, USA and Europe; (3) developed an appetite for inorganic expansions; and (4)
invested in future growth areas like biosimilars. However, delays in filing of gAdvair, growing competition and
lack of clarity on the timeline for the launch of gAdvair in the US market, pending 483 observations at Indore SEZ
and closure of recent acquisition of Invagen and Exelan are growing concerns as these will create operational
pressure for the next two years.

Divis Labs

The DSN SEZ facility at Vishakhapatnam that started in June 2011 augurs well for Divis Laboratories. The
company is likely to see an improvement in economies of scale which will also lead to tax benefits after USFDA
approvals for three additional production blocks. A near debt-free balance sheet and strong cash flow are likely to
help build a war chest for pursuing strategic investments (biosimilars) and exploit the growth opportunities in
niche segments, like oncology and steroids for contraceptives. In order to compensate for the delay in planned
greenfield facility with an investment of Rs5 billion in the Kakinada special economic zone (SEZ), Divis has
initiated capital expenditure (capex) worth Rs2.5 billion in its export oriented unit in Visakhapatnam. The
management expects the Kakinada SEZ to boost growth in FY18, reaffirming that a 20% growth over the next
few years is likely.

Glenmark Pharma

The management has given a revenue growth guidance of more than 25% for FY2017 (including Zetia). The
company will report 12-15% base revenue growth in FY2017 and FY2018 each. The management has indicated
that for future growth, the key focus areas will be dermatology, contraceptives and complex injectables. The
growth would be mainly driven by the USA, EU and India, which are witnessing an exponential growth on
account of launch of new products. Currently, it has three new chemical entities and four new biological entities
in clinical trials, out-licensing potential.

Lupin

The expected ramp-up in the launch of oral contraceptives, ophthalmic products, branded franchise (with addition
of in-licenced product-Alinia, Inspira Chamber VHC and Locoid lotion) in the USA and a robust pipeline of new
launches in the domestic and overseas markets provide strong growth visibility for Lupin. The company has
recently successfully launched Glumetza in the US market (180 days exclusivity) which shall reflect for two
months in Q4FY2016 and in H1FY2017. However, we believe in the near term, the stock may remain rangebound till the USFDA concerns subside, especially since a few observations are repetitive in nature. Moreover, it
is a little worrying that it is the second plant under the USFDA scanner in a short period of time. We remain
focused on the Goa plant and the outcome of the 483s issued there in March 2016 and July 2015, given that it is
a large source of Lupins pipeline and any delay in product approvals could hurt the earnings forecast. Product
approvals from this plant would be a monitorable.

Sun Pharma

The combination of Sun Pharma, Taro, Dusa Pharma, the generic business of URL Pharma and the acquisition of
Ranbaxy offers an excellent business model for Sun Phaarma. However, the integration process with Ranbaxy is
set to affect the profitability in short term. Also, the USFDAs adverse observation report (Form-483) on its Halol
(Gujarat) facility creates a major overhang. However, the management maintains its aim to achieve a $300-mn
synergy from the merger of Ranbaxy by FY18. With a strong cash balance, it is well positioned to capitalise on the
growth opportunities and inorganic initiatives.

Torrent Pharma

A well-known name in the domestic formulation market, Torrent Pharmaceuticals has been investing in expanding
its international presence. With the investment phase now over, it should start gaining from its international
operations in the USA, Russia and Brazil. Better field force productivity, focus on developed market and stronger
balance sheet would result in a sustainable earnings growth. Company acquired 30 key brands of Elder Pharma
for Rs2,000 crore which is a strategic fit in long run. The company has proposed to raise funds up to Rs10,000
crore through a mix of equity and debt instruments, part of which may be used for inorganic initiatives.

Building materials
Grasim is better placed compared with the other large players in the cement space due to its strong balance sheet, comfortable
debt/equity ratio, attractive valuation and diversified business. The full ramp-up of Vilayat plant (increasing capacity to
804,000 tonne) is likely to aid VSF volumes going ahead, though prices may soften in the near term. Further, the merger
of ABCIL and expansion in caustic division are likely to maintain a strong performance in chemical division. On the
cement front, the company expects demand to pick up in the near term while a slow execution of government projects and
surplus inventory remain concern areas.
The Ramco Cements, one of the most cost-efficient cement producers in India, will benefit from the capacity addition
carried out ahead of its peers in the southern region. In certain key markets of The Ramco Cements like Telangana,
Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh, the demand for cement is getting affected by the scarcity of available water for
construction. The water levels in the 31 reservoirs in south India stand at just 17% of its storage capacity while parts
of Maharashtra are already whirling under acute water crisis. Consequently, we see very limited scope of revival in
retail cement demand for the above regions which can adversely affect Q1FY17 earnings.

Grasim

The Ramco Cements

Shree Cement

Shree Cements cement grinding capacity has grown to 25.6mtpa which will support its volume growth in the
coming years. It has a power plant with capacity of 612MW for its own consumption and merchant sale which is
expected to support its revenue growth going ahead. Thus, a volume growth of the cement division and the
additional revenue accruing from the sale of surplus power will drive the earnings of the company.

UltraTech Cement

UltraTech Cement is Indias largest cement company with approximately 66.3mtpa cement capacity. The eastern
region has seen a robust growth in infrastructure and housing demand while the other regions have seen infrastructure
spending only with no major improvement in housing and rural demand. The management has guided for a 7-8%
demand growth for FY17 driven by infrastructure spend and revival in retail demand after a good monsoon.
However, the uncertainty over cement price and increase in price of pet coke (trading with upward bias, Q2FY17
onwards may feel the impact) will be the key monitorable for FY17. However, cost efficiency (impact of new
grinding and waste heat recovery) and base effect may lead to better operating performance for UltraTech.
Discretionary consumption

Century Plyboards

Century Plyboards is a leading player in the organised plywood industry with a market share of 25%. A strong growth
in the sector, Centurys premium positioning and brand equity strength, and the impending GST roll-out would enable
it to post a revenue growth (CAGR) of 16.5% over FY14-17. On the back of a revenue growth and better absorption
of fixed costs, the earnings are likely to grow at a much stronger rate of 25% CAGR over FY14-17. It is a quality
consumer play in a niche growing segment. Its robust return ratios and strong growth potential make us positive on
the stock. We have a Buy rating on it with a price target of Rs215.

Cox & Kings:

Cox & Kings is an integrated player with a strong presence in the global leisure travel segment and the education
tourism segment in Europe. It has 30% market share in the global outbound tourism market and a market leader
in education tourism in the UK. An improving global macro environment (conducive to travel & tourism industry)
and the companys focus on de-leveraging its balance sheet will help it to achieve a double-digit earnings growth
in the medium term. Hence, we recommend a Buy on it with a price target of Rs250.

Info Edge (India)

Info Edge is Indias premier online classified company in the recruitment, matrimony, real estate, education and
related service sectors. Naukri is a quality play on the improving macro environment and is directly related to the
GDP growth and Internet/mobile penetration. Further, prevailing lower competitive intensity in the real estate
space is positive in terms of profitability. We expect Zomato business growth to extend in the coming years, with
better integration of services and increasing monetisation opportunities. Zomatos revenue will be in the range of
Rs300-350 crore in FY2017, a growth of ~60-95% YoY. Further, the management believes Zomato will break
even at the end of FY2017 as the current cash burn per month falls in the range of $1.6-1.7 million from the earlier
$9 million. Going ahead, other investee ventures, like www.meritnation.com, www.policybazaar.com,
www.mydala.com and www.canvera.com, are also likely to gain from the ongoing e-commerce boom in India.

cities accounting for about 23% of the multiplex screens in India, is scripting a blockbuster growth story through
a mix of inorganic and organic expansion plan to scale up the total screen count to 688 screens over the next 2430 months. The ILL mega show is supported by an improving content quality in the Indian mainstream and
regional cinema with its movies regularly hitting the Rs100-crore or Rs200-crore box-office collection mark. We

Orbit Exports (Orbit) is a leading manufacturer and exporter of novelty fabrics exporting its products to over 32
countries. It is a recognised star export house and operates in the niche area of high-end fancy fabrics, which are mainly
used by designers in womens fashion apparels. A strong OPM profile has enabled it to earn higher returns averaging
at 21% in RoCE and at 33% in RoE over the last three years. Given the strong financials, niche capabilities and a

Raymond

Raymond is present in the fast-growing discretionary & lifestyle category of branded textiles and apparels. With
growing incomes, rise in aspirations to lead a luxurious life, greater discretionary spending and favourable
demographics, the segment of branded apparels & fabrics presents a good growth opportunity and Raymond with
its brands and superior distribution set-up is very well geared to encash the same. Any development with regard to

Relaxo Footwear  Relaxo Footwear is present in the fast-growing footwear category, wherein it caters to customers with its four topof-the-mind-recall brands, viz, Hawaii, Sparx, Flite and Schoolmate. It has emerged as an attractive investment
opportunity due to its growing scale, strong brand positioning and healthy financial performance.
Speciality Rest.

Speciality Restaurants is a leading player in the fine-dining space with a portfolio of well-established brands such
as Mainland China and Sigree. It is a good proxy on the Indian consumption story as several factors such as
demographics, increasing disposable income and the trend of nuclear families are playing in its favour. Given the

addition of new stores, we maintain our Hold rating on the stock.

Thomas Cook (I)  Thomas Cook India Ltd (TCIL), owned by the legendary value investor Prem Watsa, is an integrated leisure travel

management business) provides exposure to the fast growing HR, office management and technology solutions
business. Moreover, we see a turn-around in the financial performance of Sterling. The recent stock price correction
coupled with the improving financial health of Sterling Resorts, visibility in Quess Corp business and expansion in
the OPM and earnings, provide an opportunity to re-enter the stock. Hence, we maintain Buy with a price target

Wonderla Holidays

Wonderla Holidays Ltd (WHL) is the largest amusement park company in India with over a decade of successful

footfalls, the Hyderabad park getting operational in Q1FY17, a strong growth in the non-ticket revenues (F&B

industry average led by market-share gain. ZEEL continues to outperform the broadcasting advertising market and
expects to continue the momentum with an improvement in the macro economy. The management indicated that the
strong momentum will continue in the ads revenue growth led by higher investments in content along with a focus
on international markets and market-share gains. We continue to see ZEEL as the prime beneficiary of macro revival

We believe that post-demerger of the fashion vertical, Madura and Pantaloons from itself, ABNL will derive significant
value from its financial services business offering investors an opportunity to participate in diversified growth financial
segments like life insurance, asset management and NBFC along with other financial businesses. ABNL continues to
hold a 24% stake in Idea Cellular along with an exposure to the manufacturing vertical. In the wake of strong
competitive headwinds in the telecom sector (emanating from Reliance Jios entry, to high-cost spectrum auctions and
inability of the players to pass on the cost to the customers in the form of higher tariffs), we have adjusted Idea
Cellulars estimates and valuation (now valuing it at 5.8x FY2017 EV/EBITDA, with enhanced debt). This has resulted
in a downward revision of our price target to Rs1,200 per share.

a Buy recommendation on the stock with a price target of Rs2,100.

Bharti Airtel

Bharti Airtel is the leader in the Indian mobile telephony space. With the regulatory overhang receding and the industry
as well as the company focusing on the quality of revenues rather than volume, better times can be expected ahead
for the sector and hence the company. We remain optimistic about the company.

BEL

Bharat Electronics, a PSU manufacturing electronic, communication and defence equipment, stands to benefit from
the enhanced budgetary outlay for strengthening and modernising the countrys security. The Make in India
initiative of the government will support the earnings growth in the coming years, as it is the only player with strong
research and manufacturing units across the country. The companys current order book of around Rs21,648 crore
provides revenue visibility for the next three to four years.

GDL

With its dominant presence in the container freight station segment and recent forays into the rail freight and cold
chain businesses, Gateway Distriparks has evolved as an integrated logistic player. Its CFS business is a cash cow
while its investments in the rail and cold storage businesses have started bearing fruits. It is one of the largest
players in the CFS business and has also evolved as the largest player in the rail freight business as well as the cold
storage business. The proposed capex for a.ll the three segments will strengthen its presence in each of the segments
and increase its pan-India presence.

Max India

Max India has demerged into three different entities of which Max Financial Services will hold Max Life Insurance
(new Max India will hold Max Healthcare, Max Bupa Health Insurance and Antara businesses). Max Life Insurance
(held by Max Financial Services) is among the leading private sector insurers, has gained the critical mass and
enjoys among the best operating parameters in the industry. As the insurance sector is showing signs of stabilisation,
the companys favourable product mix and a strong distribution channel will result in a healthy growth in the

PI Industries

PI Industries (PI), a leading agro-chemical company, has a differentiated business model with focus on the fastgrowing custom synthesis and manufacturing (CSM) business, which contributes 60% of its revenues. To sustain
the growth momentum, the company has expanded its manufacturing capacity in Jambusar at a cost of Rs300
crore and the new capacity which has commissioned in H2FY2016. The commissioning of the Jambusar facility
and the launch of new products in the agro-chemical segment will help the company to achieve a revenue growth.
On the other hand, the margins are expected to improve over the next three years. PI is one of the few agrochemical companies that have a unique business model and are an example to the other chemical companies.

Ratnamani Metals  Ratnamani Metals & Tubes is the largest stainless steel tube and pipe maker in India. In spite of the challenging business
environment due to increasing competition, the stock is attractively valued. The management has maintained a strong

Supreme Ind

Supreme Industries is a leading manufacturer of plastic products with a significant presence across piping, packaging,
industrial and consumer segments. We remain positive on its new launches of value-added products and capacity
expansion plans. However, the recent volatility in the prices of its raw materials (mainly polymers) amid a highly

positive on its long-term structural story, we maintain our Hold rating on the stock.

UPL

A leading global producer of crop protection products, intermediates, specialty chemicals and other industrial
chemicals, United Phosphorus has presence across value-added agricultural inputs ranging from seeds to crop
