The -DI line is placed above the +DI line and is also placed above the 34 level, which indicates that the sellers are once
again gaining strength. The ADX line is placed above 24. The market sentiment remains weak and the Nifty is on the
verge of testing its 200-day SMA, which is the long-term average placed at 10161. With no positive triggers in sight and
alliances within the NDA looking shaky ahead of the Lok Sabha polls next year, the markets are likely to remain under
pressure.
The Nifty continues to trade below the 10270 level, which
does not augur well for the markets. It is important that the
Nifty holds above its 200-day SMA. Otherwise, further selling
pressure is likely to be witnessed and the Nifty could slip
further to test the 10000 mark.

for the Nifty are placed at 10161, 10270, 10325, 10423,

Political headwinds dampen fundamentals

A consecutive fall in seven out of eight sessions prior to Monday, 12 March 2018, and the negativity in the market due to
the ongoing scams and frauds and the rising interest rate scenario in USA were responsible for the week starting with a
big bang. Beyond a point, the market could have looked attractive and investors could have rushed to cover their shorts
as well, hence the surge on Monday. Heavyweights like Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank, ITC and Infosys contributed to
the rise. Positive data of February 2018 in auto and FMCG sales were responsible for the surge. PSU Bank Index was the
only benchmark which remained in the red despite such a mammoth rise all over.
The market was in the cooling zone on Tuesday, which was treated as a profit-booking time. Political fireworks were at
play on Wednesday with the BJP led NDA losing out at the by polls in the Indian heartland. Already 10% correction has
occurred from the all-time highs and another 10% fall could be in the offing thanks to the political headwinds, rising
bond yields, tightening liquidity conditions, fear of inflation and adverse market reactions due to the Union Budget.
Although the bull market remains intact, the catch up in earnings have still to gather momentum but the banking frauds
keep the sentiment low. The paralysis in Parliament functioning at the crucial budget session, the unfavorable by polls
and results of Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh weigh heavily on the market sentiment.
2019 general elections may be at a distance from hereon but the way the political scenario unfolds, the market fears a
weak coalition to take the place of the firm BJP. Such a political upheaval and a hung parliament could be derailed in
coming months.
The silver lining, however, is the little green shoots in the credit off takes and the booming auto segment that are fuelling
the economy.
Shell Company, a new word coined, needs a deeper meaning as suggested by a parliamentary panel headed by former
Corporate Affairs Minister, M. Veerappa Moily. The distinction between companies guilty of fraud and those irregular
with filings be made. This becomes pertinent because both types of companies can’t be measured by one yardstick!
The government may crack down on companies not carrying out business activities for long as well as such entities
being allegedly used for illicit fund flows. In the panel’s report tabled on 9 March 2018, the panel seeks a clear definition
and the attributes of a shell company under The Companies Act. "To prevent corporate misfeasance/malfeasance, there
should be real time data sharing amongst the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and other regulatory enforcement agencies
such as CBI, ED, DRI, CBDT, SFIO, Department of Financial Services, Financial Intelligence Unit, Central Economic
Intelligence Bureau and SEBI" the panel said.

The passage of the Finance Bill 2018-19 has left a lot to desire. For the first time, a Finance Bill has been cleared in the
Lok Sabha without any debate by a voice vote amidst a din of protests. 21 amendments were moved and approved by
the voice vote. The wake-up call to the BJP by the defeats at the by-polls in U.P. and Bihar on back of the banking scams
remain on the opposition's agenda. The Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) proposed may hardly raise any revenue but it
will harm the economy was the argument by many parliamentarians but it fell on the deaf ears! However, one of the
amendments provided for inflation indexation of the cost of unlisted shares.
Democracy is all about discussion and engagement. Protests, or the act of expressing objection or dissatisfaction is
central to it. However, protest cannot become an end in itself. Members must question, object and suggest an alternative
course of action and do so through reasoned and persuasive argument.
The Voice of Asia Report by Deloitte predicts a faster-than-expected growth of the Indian economy against the backdrop
of the increasing crude price and volatile market conditions. Growth is picking up and will maintain a strong momentum
in 2018, retaining India's leadership as the fastest growing large economy in the world. Displaying signs of recovery, the
Indian economy recorded a five quarter high growth of 7.2%in Oct-Dec 2017 thanks to agriculture, construction and
manufacturing.
The infra spending in the new fiscal and increased outlay on the rural economy will add momentum to the demand pick-
up and give a kick start to the economy. Little wonder, mutual funds see value in mid-caps where there is revenue
growth visibility. The infra and consumer spending is the guiding theme. They find great value in Crompton Greaves
Consumer Electricals, a company with a dominant presence in fans, pumps and lighting. The company expects
25% CAGR between FY18 and FY21 and is poised to ride on superior returns and cash flows. Colgate falling in line with
Dabur and Patanjali is giving the ayurvedic touch to its products. This may enhance its market share in various
segments. Dilip Buildcon, a company with superior execution of projects remains on the buy list of HDFC MF. Its
Rs.12400 crore order book augurs well for times to come and with the government's focus on infrastructure projects
such as Bharatmala. NCC another road construction and irrigation projects company is a favorite of Aditya Birla MF and
may be another winner in the infra segment. Ashok Leyland with its improved Q3 and Blue Star in a bid to capture rural
AC markets could be the other money spinners in coming times.
The 500 points decline on Friday, 16 March 2018, was more in response to the political headwinds. Hence, let
fundamentals perform and call the shots and watch the new political equations develop.

Critical support around 200-day EMA/SMA

By Hitendra Vasudeo
Sensex Daily Trend DRV Weekly Trend WRV Monthly Trend MRV
Last Close 33176 Down 34145 Down 33427 Up 31209
Last week, the Sensex opened at 33468.16, attained a high at 34077.32 and moved down to a low of 33119.92 before it
finally closed the week at 33176 and thereby showed a loss of 131 points on a week-to-week basis.
Daily Chart
The peak formed at 32686 on 02/08/2017 was crossed on
25/10/2017. The Sensex rallied further to 33865 on
07/11/2017. A correction was seen to test back 32686,
which was the earlier breakout point. The same breakout
point offered support on 15/11/17, 06/12/2017 and
18/12/2017. The lows on these dates were 32683, 32565
and 32595.
The Gujarat election results low was 32595.
The earlier resistance offered support to the Sensex on the
daily chart at 32686. A big rally to 36443 was witnessed. A
correction is happening and eventually may test the
earlier support/resistance point of 32686.
The 200-day EMA and SMA are placed at 32786 and
32811.

So, along with support/resistance of the earlier top and bottom of 32686, the
Sensex
200-day averages will play an important role. A balance is likely to be

lower level mentioned above. Further, the intensity of the bounce will decide 1962 3rd Lok Sabha -
on a new rally or the lower top formation in times to come. 1967 4th Lok Sabha -

Yearly Chart
The Centre Points for all the indices must be watched as they could be the likely supports during the year for intra-day/
year corrections and for consolidation.
From the yearly chart perspective, it seems that the Sensex and the Nifty are keen to test the Yearly Centre Point of
31547 and 9739 respectively in the near-to-short-term. Consolidation must happen near the Yearly Centre Point in
order for a breakout attempt to sustain above the Yearly Level 3 (L3) as shown in the table. At this point, the indices are
in a correction mode.

The Harami candle formed last week is critical and, therefore, the 2-week low of 15805 and 15776 are critical.
A reversal is above 17014 and till this level is not crossed, use any rise to exit long. A correction down to 15700, 14880
and 14080 is likely to be witnessed if 17014 is not quickly crossed. Long-term investors may look for 15700, 14880 and
14090 for accumulation. Accumulation means a waiting period and returns may not be seen immediately considering
that the market correction could continue for 9-12 months if it sustains below the 200-day averages.
The 200-day average is at 16080. A sustained down-move below 16080 will mean a bear market phase, which could last

The Harami candle formed last week is critical and therefore, the 2-week low of 17063 and 16994 are critical.
The 200-day averages are at 17061 and 17118. The last bottom was at 16944.
Expect a deeper correction below 16944. A reversal must happen sooner from the lower level or from the current level.
Alternatively, a bear market phase is likely to happen for 9-12 months.
Strategy for the week
Exit long and sell on a rise to 33457-33795 with a stop loss of 34100.
Expect the lower range of 32838-31880 to be tested.
Long-term investors may look at the Yearly Center Point to accumulate or at retracement levels and at the 200-day
EMA/SMA mentioned above. Accumulations at retracement means a waiting period and gestation. It also means that
returns may not be seen immediately and investments may go through a lot of pain. A strong bounce and recovery to
create a new high may release the pain for short-to-medium-term investors.
WEEKLY UP TREND STOCKS

Let the price move below Center Point or Level 2 and when it move back above Center Point or Level 2 then buy with whatever low
registered below Center Point or Level 2 as the stop loss. After buying if the price moves to Level 3 or above then look to book profits as
the opportunity arises. If the close is below Weekly Reversal Value then the trend will change from Up Trend to Down Trend. Check on

LIC Housing Finance Ltd

(BSE Code: 500253) (CMP: Rs.514.50) (FV: Rs.2)
By Bikshapathi Thota
Incorporated in 1989, LIC Housing Finance Ltd (LICHFL) is one of the largest housing finance companies (HFCs) with the
key objective to provide long-term finance to individuals for the purchase or construction of residential properties. It
also provides finance on an existing property for business or personal needs and also gives loans to professionals for
buying office space and equipment. It provides finance to persons engaged in the business of construction and the sale of
residential properties. It provides loans for homes, construction activities and corporate housing schemes. Individual
loans constitute ~84% of its overall loan portfolio. Its outstanding loan amounted to ~Rs.1,56,000 crore as at Q3FY18. It
has 9 regional offices, 23 back offices and 249 marketing offices across 450 locations. LIC India holds 40% stake in the
company while FIIs hold 35% stake.
LICHFL, being a leading housing financier, will be a key beneficiary of our optimistic stance on the mortgage finance
sector given the emerging opportunities and the government’s thrust on ‘affordable housing’ and ‘Housing for All’
initiatives. Although the core mortgage segment’s profitability is soft, higher profitability of the non‐core segments is
expected to cushion its overall profitability. Further, asset quality risks are limited in the mortgage segment, especially
for LICHFL, where loans against property (LAP) are also tilted in favor of the salaried segment. Despite the near-term
revenue headwinds, LICHFL continues to remain a 17%+ RoE model with limited asset quality risk.
Outlook: India is passing through significant positive shifts in terms of income levels, aspirations, standard of living and
credit awareness. With the government’s focus on affordable, this sector has seen a healthy growth with transparency
and orderliness. Given the positive push by the government, housing finance is perceived as the most lucrative sector
currently, which is elevating the competition from within the sector.
To capitalize on this opportunity, LICHFL plans to leverage its extensive reach in the country to connect with the
customer. It plans to use digitization to plug the gaps to enhance customer experience and increase operational
efficiency. It continues to focus on due diligence in line with its policy of ‘zero tolerance for non-performing assets
(NPAs)’. Its future priorities is to expand its network and visibility to maintain its market leadership position by creating
consumer-friendly products to target new customers, ensuring access to low-cost and diversified sources of funds,
fortifying its operating processes and risk management systems and strengthening its balance sheet to ensure financial
flexibility.
Thesis of high competition in the mortgage business has played out leading to margin pressure. LICHFL had faced
pressure owing to high-salaried borrowers (83%) and a higher yield book. However, with the majority of assets being
re-priced, we expect net interest margin (NIM) to stabilise and improve hereon. With LICHFL’s incremental borrowing at
7.23% (compared to 8.37%), re-pricing of liabilities will support NIMs.
Further, LICHFL has a low-risk business model as ~82% of its loans are disbursed to salaried customers. Loans to
individuals account for 87.5% of its outstanding loan book. LAP accounts for 10.4% and loans to developers account for
3.3% of its total outstanding loan book. The incremental average ticket size of its loans stood at ~Rs.20 lakh while the
average cumulative ticket size stood at ~Rs.12 lakh.
Its Borrowing mix has moved more towards market instruments and bank borrowing now stands at ~9% of the total
borrowing resulting in lower cost of funds to the company. Consequently, NIMs even under increasing competition have
improved to 2.7% on lower cost of funds and changing product mix. Asset quality for LICHFL has stayed stable (GNPA
0.4%). Being a leading housing financier, LICHFL will be the key beneficiary given the emerging opportunities and
government's thrust on 'affordable housing' and 'housing for all' initiatives by 2022, with support of the Pradhan Mantri
Awas Yojana and more smart cities to be notified in coming years.
Valuation: LICHFL’s core retail portfolio continues to be sluggish Financials: (Rs. in crore)
growing by less than 10%. However, other segments like LAP and Particulars FY16 FY17 FY18E FY19E
Developer loans are driving the growth for LICHFL. With lower Net Income 3178 3848 4093 4764
interest rates and interest subvention schemes by the government, PBDT 2710 3237 3421 3995
we expect growth for housing to rebound in coming quarters. This

The LICHFL stock currently trades at 2x its FY18E BV and looks attractive given the bright industry prospects. Hence, we
have a Buy on the stock with a price target of Rs.705 (15x to FY19E earnings) within a year.

Kotak Mahindra Bank

(BSE Code: 500247) (CMP: Rs.1061) (FV: Rs.5) (TGT: Rs.1150+)
Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd provides a range of banking and financial services to small and medium enterprises,
corporates and high net worth individuals in India. The company's Treasury, BMU and Corporate centre segment
engages in dealing in debt, equity, money market, forex, derivatives, and investments; and the primary dealership of
government securities and balance sheet management unit responsible for asset liability management. Its Retail Banking
segment offers commercial vehicle finance, personal loans, home loans, agriculture finance, and other loans/services.
This segment also provides savings, current, and term deposit accounts; branch banking network/services, including
distribution of financial products; and credit cards.
The company's Corporate/Wholesale Banking segment provides wholesale borrowings and lendings and other related
services to the corporate sector. Its Vehicle Financing segment offers retail vehicle finance and wholesale trade finance
products. The company's Other Lending Activities segment provides financing against securities, securitization, and
other loans/services. Its Broking segment offers brokerage on market transactions done on behalf of clients, interest on

branches and 2,163 ATMs in 689 locations. Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited was founded in 1985 and is headquartered in
Mumbai.
The banking system, especially PSU banks, is struggling with asset-quality woes for quite some time now. There are
large-scale checks and data verification exercises underway at PSU banks. Just like demonetisation, this is a priority-
level exercise and one can assume that an opportunity exists for well-run private banks to gain clientele and market
share. In addition, with the rising bond yields and cost of funds, NBFCs are likely to weaken in the stiff competition that
they were offering to banks, providing a greater opportunity.

Future Consumer Ltd

(BSE Code: 533400) (CMP: Rs.59.10) (FV: Rs.6) (TGT: Rs.80+)
Future Consumer Ltd (FCL) provides loans. It specializes in acquiring and investing in emerging consumption-led
sectors with a focus on food and FMCGs, rural distribution, urban distribution, mega food parks, food distribution,
fashion and other design services, and edutainment sectors. It is involved in developing, acquiring, and partnering in
fashion apparel and accessories and food processing. Future Consumer Ltd, formerly known as Future Ventures India
Ltd, was incorporated on 10 July 1996 and is based in Mumbai.
We see a huge opportunity in the Indian branded FMCG space. From USD 65 bn in 2015, the category is expected to grow
in size to reach USD 220-240 bn by 2025, implying 13-14% CAGR, according to a joint study by BCG and CII. With the
category itself likely to grow by ~3.5x over this 10-year period, we expect significant pockets of higher and even
spectacular growth among its constituents.
Modern trade, which constitutes ~12% of FMCG sector sales in India, has been witnessing tremendous growth over the
past year, led by a multitude of factors like customer convenience, a wider variety of products on offer, rapidly evolving
business models, and growing trend towards cashless transactions. Reforms like demonetisation and Goods & Services
Tax (GST), too, have also taken away the edge that wholesale-led general trade had earlier, due to the need to adhere to
stricter compliance norms. We believe all this augurs well for businesses operating under the modern retail and modern
wholesale (cash and carry businesses) models.
FCL – a separately listed brands business of the Future Group, is a promising play on (a) rapidly expanding store
footprint of the Future Group (the largest pan-India retailer in India), which had set a target at the end of FY17 to open
10,000 Easy Day stores by 2022 (611 stores as on 31st December 2017) and 350 Big Bazaar stores over the next 3-5
years (257 stores as on 31st December 2017) and (b) increasing proportion of FCL’s brands in Future Retail stores to
~60% from ~20% now.
Around 95% of FCL’s sales are derived from the brands portfolio. Over the past three years (FY14-17), while the overall
FMCG sector has seen a muted CAGR of 5%, FCL has reported sales CAGR of 37%. Notably, sales growth has been even
higher at 39% YoY in YTDFY18. While it can be argued that the base was low a few years ago, we note that FCL’s
absolute sales of Rs.21 bn (~USD 327 mn) in FY17 were in line with mid-tier FMCG companies. In our view, sales could
increase further to ~ Rs.29.5 bn (USD 458 mn) in FY18, higher than mid-size FMCG companies like Emami (our estimate:
Rs.25.7 bn or USD 396 mn).
Branded staples and fruits & vegetables, which form the bulk of its overall portfolio and are relatively low-margin
categories, should see healthy growth but the overall margin expansion will be driven by the high-margin processed
food and HPC products. We expect an overall sales CAGR of 39% over FY18-22, particularly led by 60% CAGR in the
high-margin categories. In the traditional FMCG channels, distribution costs account for ~20% of sales and advertising
costs, too, contribute around 10-15%.
Favorable macro factors and initiatives by the company and the parent Future Group make FCL a highly attractive
investment. Opportunities are immense, and FCL is at the forefront to maintain or even accelerate its already impressive
growth rate. Sales – which are already higher than those of mid-tier FMCG companies – should continue growing at a
rapid pace in the years to come driven by the tremendous opportunity for brands using modern retail methods of
distribution. Advice to Buy with a target Rs.75.
Technical Outlook: Future Consumer Ltd is very good on the daily chart, and is good for medium-term investment. The
stock has formed downward channel pattern on the daily chart and breakout with good volumes @ Rs.56 can move the
stock to higher levels. The stock trades above all important 200 DMAs on the daily chart.
Start accumulating at this level of Rs.59.10 and on dips to Rs.50 will be a good start for medium- to-long-term
investment and possible target of Rs.80+ in the next 12 months.

SHRIMP INDUSTRY SET TO PROSPER
By Dildar Singh Makani
The domestic shrimp industry is growing at a rapid pace. The rising demand for shrimps makes all the companies in this
sector work full throttle. It is also a foregone conclusion that the rising demand and rising product prices will ensure
better operating profitability.
Shrimp is the most popular seafood in America, which imports ~6,00,000 tonnes of seafood per annum. India, Thailand,
Indonesia, China and Vietnam are some of the prominent suppliers to USA.
Interesting facts:
1. As per a recent CRISIL report, Indian shrimp exports are set to double to $7 bn by 2022 driven by the strong
demand, high quality, improved product mix and an increase in the aquaculture area in several states including
Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Odisha and West Bengal.
2. The global shrimp industry is estimated at $30 bn and India's market share is estimated at 13% in value terms.
3. India became the biggest shrimp exporter in FY16 with exports of $3.8 bn. Indian exporters in the past few years
have emphasised on lower-density shrimp farms to control diseases while maintaining quality across the value
chain. The use of resilient specific pathogen free (SPF) brood-stock imported from USA also helped the industry
significantly.
4. Typically, the shrimp industry has operating margins of ~13-15%. India has a lot of unutilised and idle land
suitable for shrimp culture.
5. Rs.10000 crore was allocated in the latest fiscal, which will give a big boost to the aquaculture industry. The
government strongly believes that given the good quality and reputation that the Indian shrimp industry enjoys in
the world markets, there is ample scope for this industry to progress further.
6. Large Indian exporters are expanding in order to cater the rising demand for value-added products from global
retail chains and restaurants. Strong volume growth and higher proportion of value-added products will bolster the
operating profitability of exporters.
7. “Healthy accretions and the absence of major debt-funded capex will reduce leverage and further strengthen the
credit profiles of shrimp manufacturers,” said Rahul Guha Director at CRISIL.
8. Production in Vietnam has declined 40% from the peak level due to shortage of fresh water, salinity intrusion and
illegal shrimp farming. Thailand, which was once the top exporter, has now fallen to the 5th position due to a decline
in production levels.
9. China's shrimp production has fallen by 60% over the last
two years even though its consumption has more than
doubled, rendering it a marginal exporter. It also faced Relative Strength (RS)

its shrimp processing business. It recorded mindboggling Q3

results with revenues of Rs.706.43 crore v/s Rs.535.22 crore in the previous corresponding quarter. Finance expenses
declined in spite of higher depreciation on account of machinery addition and expansion. Operating profit zoomed to
Rs.161.82 crore from Rs.68.98 crore. Tax outgo more than doubled to Rs.56.31 crore. Its bottom-line was extremely
healthy at Rs.105.07 crore v/s Rs.46.01 crore in the previous corresponding period. Its EPS was higher at Rs.23 v/s
Rs.10 in the previous corresponding quarter. During 9MFY18, it posted an EPS of Rs.83.5.
If the current trend is any indication, AFL is likely to notch an EPS of over Rs.106 for FY18. A conservative P/E of 35x will
take its share price to Rs.3710. AFL has a small equity capital of Rs.9.08 crore backed by reserves of Rs.631.38 crore. If
the profits of 9MFY18 are added, its share book value of Rs.2 paid-up share works out to Rs.162.76. If its future
prospects are considered, one can safely assume that a bonus issue is around the corner.
Apex Frozen Foods Ltd (BSE Code: 540692) (CMP: Rs.652.85) (FV: Rs.10): AFFL is an integrated producer and
exporter of shelf stable quality aquaculture products. Its ready-to-cook products cater to food companies, retail chains,
restaurants, clubs, stores and distributors across the developed markets of USA, UK and various European countries. Its
brands include Bay Fresh, Bay Harvest and Bay Premium.
AFFL hit the capital markets just a few quarters back. Although past information is selectively available, its Q3FY18
results beat market expectations. During the quarter, it recorded revenues of Rs.262.83 crore. During 9MFY18, its
revenues grew 48% from Rs.535.1 crore to Rs.795.54 crore while PAT zoomed to Rs.58.15 crore from Rs.15.72 crore in
the previous corresponding period. EPS jumped from Rs.6.55 to Rs.21.36.
Industry trends indicate that the EPS for FY18 is likely to be around Rs.32. A conservative P/E of 35x will take its share
price to Rs.1120 within a year. AFFL has planned capex of Rs.90.2 crore of which Rs.18.4 crore was utilised till December
2017 end. The structural work is nearing completion and orders for machineries have already been placed. It expects the
expanded capacity to be operational by Q2FY19.
Waterbase Ltd (BSE Code: 523660) (CMP: Rs.295.65) (FV: Rs.10): A part of the renowned Karan Thapar group,
Waterbase is engaged in the Aquaculture business since over 20 years. It recently amalgamated with its promoter group
company - Pinnae Feeds Ltd, with the aim to get access to higher capacities without increasing its capital funding.
During Q3FY18, Waterbase recorded turnaround with healthy profits. Continued strong demand from existing
customers and increased product acceptability across new markets drove volume growth during 9MFY18. Its
profitability was elevated by benign raw material prices and contribution from ancillary products. Income from
operations stood at Rs.277 crore (up 3%). PAT jumped three-fold to Rs.27 crore.
Commenting on the results, the CEO stated that Waterbase is gaining foothold in newer markets after multiyear efforts
to enhance its distribution network. It is set to declare its highest ever profit in any single year. Its products launched
under the brand name ‘Baylife’ have been positively accepted by customers. One must note that the company produced
its best ever results in spite of onetime costs incurred for machine breakdown and procurement of shrimps for exports,
which suppressed the profits in Q3. This means that the path ahead is a better pasture.
The stock zoomed to Rs.421 after being recommended in Money Times. It’s not out of place to expect the stock to break
this level again while racing to a target of Rs.512 in the next six months.
Concerns: There are no major concerns.
1. The US Department of Commerce recently suggested raising the duty structure on Indian shrimps by a little over
1%. Given the current status of the industry, this may practically not have any impact on the profitability of the
companies involved in this business.
2. India (~60% market share), Vietnam and Thailand are major exporters of shrimps to USA.
Conclusion: Investors of late have gained interest in Aquaculture related stocks. The market has sensed the industry
prospects. Until sometime back, the industry P/E hovered around 120x. But with the publication of Q3 results, this
figure has come down dramatically. Investment in this industry is definitely bound to give compounded returns of
around 30-50% over the next few years. To get the most of the investments that you make here, remember the law of
compounding and retain your holdings for not less than three years.

By Subramanian Mahadevan
Incorporated in 2000, Chennai-based Take Solutions Ltd (TAKE) is a global technology solutions and service provider
with significant focus across two principal business areas – Lifesciences and Supply Chain Management. Its 1,000+
employees cater to 400+ marquee clients across 12 countries.
In 2015, TAKE had let go around 100 low margin clients while realigning its business model to focus on high margin
clients, which is now yielding good traction. Further, it acquired Bangalore-based Ecron Acunova (EA), a leading clinical
research organization, for Rs.115 crore which helped it to expand its market to $30 bn and significantly enhance its
presence in Europe and Nordic countries. It has made three acquisitions since 2006.
TAKE’s revenues have grown from Rs.46 crore in FY06 to Rs.1344 crore in FY17 on a small equity capital of Rs.13.11
crore. It raised $40 mn recently through a preferential allotment to promoters to drive acquisitions in the North
American and European markets. During Q3FY18, its revenues grew 19% YoY from Rs.343 crore to Rs.408 core. EBITDA
grew 15.2% YoY from Rs.69.3 crore to Rs.79.8 crore while PAT grew 11% from Rs.37 crore to Rs.41.1 crore.
TAKE is eyeing firms that will enable it to enhance its global footprint in North America and increase its capability in
therapeutic areas and in niche technologies. Its Vision 2021 is to hit the $500 mn revenue mark by March 2021 from the
current $200 mn. The management expects the acquisition to fetch revenues of ~$100-150 mn. Even without the
acquisition, it can easily earn revenues of $350 mn.
TAKE currently has an order book of $163 mn of which $151 mn relates to lifesciences while $12 mn relates to supply
chain management, which takes at least 7-9 months to execute. The promoters hold 63% of the equity capital. Its strong
track record of profitability, visionary management, rich dividend payout, excellent profit margins and huge cash
reserves are big positives. Buy on every decline for multibagger returns.

Next edition of ‘Mid-Cap Twins’ will be released on 1 April 2018.
Aditi Nayar, Principal
Economist at ICRA, said that Attractively priced at Rs.2000 per month, Rs.11000 half yearly and Rs.20,000 annually,
the sharp dip in retail ‘Mid-cap Twins’ will be available both as print edition or online delivery.

inflation in February 2018 has reinforced the expectation that the monetary policy committee (MPC) will keep the repo
rate unchanged in the policy review in April, which may prompt further easing of bond yields in the immediate term
warning that inflation may spurt in coming months.
Further on the macro-data, the provisional figures of Direct Tax collections up to February 2018 show that net
collections are at Rs.7.44 lakh crore, which is 19.5% higher than the net collections in the previous corresponding
period. The net direct tax collections represent 74.3% of the revised estimates of Direct Taxes for FY18 at Rs.10.05 lakh
crore. Gross collections (before adjusting for refunds) rose 14.5% to Rs.8.83 lakh crore during April 2017 to February
2018. Refunds amounting to Rs.1.39 lakh crore were issued during April 2017 to February 2018.
Assocham Secretary, General DS Rawat, said that the 7.2% growth in GDP for Q3 highlights an improvement in
investment, manufacturing and construction thereby giving hope for a good pace of economic growth in the next fiscal as
the stage is now set in FY18.
“However, the gross value addition (GVA) which is net of taxes is not as good as GDP underscoring the fact that much
more needs to be done in terms of sustainable growth”, Rawat added.
The growth for the second quarter (July-September) has been revised upwards to 6.5% from 6.3% estimated earlier by
the CSO.
Economic Affairs Secretary, Subhash Chandra Garg, said that the 7.2% expansion in the economy during the October-
December 2017 quarter has put the country in one of the highest growth brackets in the world and recovery will
continue to be sharp going ahead. The Q3 growth of 7.2% was the highest in five quarters. The previous high was
recorded at 7.5% in the July-September quarter of FY17. In the first quarter of the current fiscal, the GDP grew at 5.7%
while the second quarter growth stood at 6.5%.
S&P Global Ratings agency said that the US President Donald Trump’s decision to hike duties on steel and aluminum
could result in retaliatory action from European Union (EU) and China triggering a trade war hurting American
exporters, global trade and global economic growth. It said that the overall economic impact of the tariffs on the US in
the near term is likely to be minimal with a mixed impact on corporates. The US had raised import duties on steel and
aluminum products to 25% and 10% respectively.
In a report titled, ‘Global Trade at a Crossroad: US Steel and Aluminium countries raise risk of retaliatory spiral’, S&P
said that the direct or first-round macroeconomic impact of these tariffs is likely to be negligible, the overall impact is
less certain. It will depend on the response of other major US trading partners, namely, the EU, China and South Korea.
“Many US trading partners have already signaled their concern at the announcement and have stated that they are
prepared to retaliate with their own tariffs on goods imported from the US”, the rating agency said.
“More important are the potential second-round effects on consumer and business confidence and spending, which will
ultimately drag down GDP”, S&P added.
S&P Global Ratings economist, Paul Gruenwald, said that “Although we don’t expect a full-scale trade war, such an
outcome is not assured. The initial US tariffs could lead to an escalation of punitive, retaliatory tariffs by trading partners
despite the known welfare damaging effects. The tariff hike will encourage US production of steel and aluminum raise
utilization rates and keep domestic prices elevated over the next 2-3 years”.

Eimco Elecon (India) Ltd: Money miner

(BSE Code: 523708) (CMP: Rs.431) (FV: Rs.10)
This stock is currently available at 36% discount from its 52-week high of Rs.700 recorded in June 2017. The stock is
expected to regain its lost ground soon as this material equipment firm is set to produce excellent results given the
bright industry prospects. In addition, its spares business, which is a high margin business, provides a stable cash flow
and contributes ~50% to overall sales. Further, introduction of new products and entry into open cast mining products
will act as a key catalyst for growth. The Company has a strong balance sheet with liquid investment of Rs.280/share.
Eimco Elecon (India) Ltd (EEL) was incorporated in 1974 and went public in 1992. Its 15 acre manufacturing plant is
situated at Vallabh Vidyanagar in Anand district of Gujarat. Its product range includes mining and construction

equipment developed with indigenous technology as well as through collaboration/joint venture agreements with
leading manufacturers of the world. Its product portfolio includes Side Dump Loader, Load Haul Dumper, Coal Hauler,
Universal Drill Machine, Articulated Wheel Loader, Low Profile Dump Truck, Rocker Shovel Loader and Chair Lift Man
Riding System.
EEL was the first to introduce the intermediate technology of Side Dump Loaders (SDLs), Load Haul Dumpers (LHDs)
and Rocker Shovel Loaders to partially mechanize underground coal and metalliferrous mines and continues to be the
market leader since then. It is ISO 14001:2004 and BS OHSAS 18001:2007 certified.
For FY17, EEL posted 51% higher PAT of Rs.25.09 crore on 23% higher sales of Rs.171.1 crore fetching an EPS of Rs.43.5

The global underground mining industry is expected to grow at ~7% CAGR over the next three years. The global
underground mining equipment market is expected to grow to $24 bn by 2019 on the back of proactive changes in
energy efficiency regulations undertaken by various governments across the globe. This has given an impetus to mining
companies to adopt energy efficient underground mining equipments.
India is focused on transforming the ailing coal sector. The government has announced plans to boost Coal India’s
annual production to 1 billion tonnes by 2019 and this requires significant investment in mechanization of existing
mines and fast tracking mine development activity in newer mines.
Since infrastructure acts as a catalyst in the industrial and the overall growth of the nation, this sector has always been
on the priority agenda of the government. With the government’s renewed impetus on infrastructure, the construction
equipment industry is poised for tremendous growth in the years to come. The need for timely execution of
infrastructure projects and emphasis on qualitative approach will act as growth drivers for the construction equipment
market. Growing urbanization and rising affordability will further spur the demand and availability of financing
construction equipments.
The government has proposed $1 trillion of investment in infrastructure projects in the 12th Five Year Plan. Based on
the recent projections, the Earthmoving and Construction Equipment (ECE) market is expected to grow 15-20% over the
next few years.
EEL’s improved distribution network will help spread new products across the nation. A higher capacity Loader AL-520
with bucket capacity of 1.9–3 cum has also been launched commercially.
Since EEL is into coal loading machinery, its major customer is Coal India (90% of its business is generated from them).
Going forward, the economy is likely to remain in good shape in view of the large infra spending by the government and
as such Coal India will be able to improve its performance tremendously, which in turn will enormously benefit EEL.
When EEL sells machines, it also enters into contracts for their maintenance as well as for spare parts. The rising top-
line from spare parts, which is a high margin business, can fetch a regular annuity business with higher margins.
Higher demand for loaders will boost EEL’s business though it will face tough competition from global players. EEL also
plans to introduce Skid Steer Loader, a highly versatile machine with growth potential and used primarily in industrial
material handling and infra projects. Also, a recommendation by a reputed market survey agency, which conducted a
market survey, EEL will add additional product lines in the Construction Equipment Segment. It is also exploring the
export potential of construction equipments in South East Asia and Africa. The immediate beneficiary of infrastructure
and road developments will be EEL, which is expected to do well in line with the infra spend.
Based on the current going, EEL is likely to post an EPS of
