Corrections of 5-8% are common during any bull run...Good time to build portfolio of quality businesses for SAMVAT 2071

Dear All,

Nifty has delivered returns of 23.4% year-to-date and is one of the best performing global equity market in CY14. Off late, in the month of Oct14, Indian equity markets are facing huge volatility due to economic slowdown in developed world. Weak economic recovery in developed world has led to slump in commodity prices, with correction to the tune of 15-25% in crude, coal, metals, etc.  

The ~22% YTD fall in crude oil price will put an end to diesel under recoveries, easing pressure on twin deficit and hence will lead to channelizing of resources towards productive assets in medium to long term. Moreover, it will ease the inflationary pressure on the economy across the length and breadth and will leave room for RBI to ease key policy rates. Green shots of recovery in Indian economy are already visible with healthy GDP growth of 5.7% in 1QFY15, revival in auto sales number, decent credit growth and continuing healthy trend in exports. On forex front, RBI governor Raghuram Rajan has done commendable job of stabilizing Indian rupee against dollar in the range of 59-62 and has build enough forex reserves (@ $311 bn) to face any global eventuality.    

In medium to long term, to bring economy back on track, government is likely to take the following steps 1) change in cumbersome processes and overhaul of laws (labour, land acquisitions etc) related to setting up and running business in India. The effort is to make conducive environment to do business in India with ease and thereby attract foreign companies to setup manufacturing base in India, 2) announcement of gas price formula and clarity on various policies related to oil and gas industry, so as to give long term visibility and clarity; 3) deregulation of diesel prices and roadmap for reducing subsidy burden on LPG; 4) policy, roadmap and support for affordable housing for all by 2022; 5) implementation of DTC in FY16; 6) implementation of GST in FY16/FY17 and many more.     
In  nutshell, we believe that, best is yet to come for Indian economy and India’s GDP is likely to grow at 5.5% and 6.2% in FY15E and FY16E respectively (Source:  Bloomberg).  Corporate earnings will reflect the same and Nifty’s earning is likely to grow at CAGR of 15% during FY14-FY17E period. On valuation front, Nifty is trading at P/E of 16.2x, 13.6x and 11.7x of FY15E, FY16E and FY17E earnings respectively. In short term, market will be driven by global factors, however, in medium to long term, we believe, Indian equity market is in midst of structural bull run and hence, the trajectory is likely to remain upwards.

Nifty has corrected ~5% from its peak, whereas some quality companies have corrected by 20-25%. Investors should use this auspicious occasion of Diwali to encash on this opportunity and build portfolio for SAMVAT 2071.

We recommend a portfolio of 15 quality businesses/companies, which are mix of cyclicals (like auto, banking etc), new emerging sectors (like defense, media etc) and consumption with strong earnings growth momentum. We expect these stocks to deliver returns in the range of     20-25% over next  6-12 months.


Happy Diwali!! Happy Investing!!

India. Weak natural rubber prices (40% of the raw material), crude oil prices and weakness in rupee is likely to aid further margin expansion. BIL‟s capacity will get 2x by FY16E @ 300000 MT, which will aid volume growth during FY16-FY17. At CMP, the stock is trading at reasonable valuations of 10.5x FY16E earnings, which is likely to re-rate, once the volume start picking up from its expanded capacity.

With the new government taking charge, it has laid an ambitious target of 25 km of roads a day which we believe will throw tremendous opportunity for road players. Given the experience and balance sheet strength, MBL would be able to capitalize on the upcoming opportunity. Historically, MBL has delivered a superior RoE and RoCe of 18% and 17% respectively during FY14 and has a consistent dividend paying track record (30%+). At CMP MBL is priced at 7x its FY14 EPS of `43, which we believe is highly attractive.

·         Centum is a globally recognized electronics company with strong presence in the Defence & Aerospace, Space, Industrial, Medical and Telecom industry segments. CEL offers a wide spectrum of manufactured products and test solutions which are driven by strong quality management processes and systems. We believe Centum Electronics Limited(CEL) will be one of the few players which is likely to benefit from the upcoming Defence investment opportunity given the first mover advantage the company has. At the CMP stock trades at 12x its FY16 (E) earnings (Bloomberg estimates) which we believe is highly attractive given the experience and capabilities the company possesses.

Tube Investment CMP `308

At CMP, the stock is valuing just financial service business, implying that efficient core engineering business with FY16E revenue of ` 45 bn is available for free. In medium to long term, the stock has potential to deliver 20%+ CAGR returns. 

IndusInd Bank CMP ` 661

Investment Arguments:

·         Indusind Bank has a well-diversified loan book of ` 599bn with corporate credit constituting 57% (` 340bn) while retail credit comprises the balance 43%. Going ahead, management aims to increase the share of retail credit (high yielding book) which shall support the NIM of 3.6%. Similarly, on the liability side, it relies heavily on bulk deposit and benefits if interest rates fall. Management aims for credit growth of ~25% for FY14-17E, CASA ratio of 35% and other income to grow faster than credit growth. Overall, the PAT growth trajectory of 25%+ is here to stay for next 2-3 years. Valuation is reasonable at 2.8x FY16E ABV for the bank earning such strong return ratios of ~1.9% RoA and ~20% RoE.

Dewan Housing CMP `311

Investment Arguments:

Dewan Housing caters mainly to low and middle income segment with a credit book of ` 468.6 bn as on Q1FY15. Management aims to grow credit at 25%+ till FY17E which shall support the NII and profit growth going ahead. Government‟s aim of “housing for all by 2022” and under-penetrated Indian housing finance market shall support the strong credit growth. Besides, the current NIM of ~2.8% shall be maintained as its cost of fund (CoF) is contained. The bank borrowing (high cost nature) constitutes 63% of total borrowing. With recent rating upgrades, we expect the share of NCD to increase which shall contain the CoF. The valuation is attractive at 1x FY15E ABV.

PVR CMP ` 646

Investment Arguments:

PVR is the largest multiplex operator in India with ~25% market share. It is well placed to take advantage of ongoing consolidation in the industry, thereby increasing its bargaining power with film producers on one hand and pricing power on cinema tickets, on other hand. The company enjoys multiple sales and profitability growth drivers during FY14-FY16E period, which are as follow: 70-80 screen additions per annum, 12-15% CAGR in ad revenue, 10% CAGR growth in footfalls, 3-4% CAGR growth in ATPs and 7-8% CAGR on food spend. At CMP, the stock is trading at P/E of 33.6x and 22.1x FY15E and FY16E earnings respectively. We expect PVR‟s PE multiple to re-rate to ~25-28x - inline with other FMCG/Media players.

Pidilite CMP `389

Investment Arguments:

Monopoly player in adhesives (MS: ~60%), with well established brands like Fevicol, m-seal, Dr Fixit etc. With recovery in capex cycle, Pidilite‟s consumer as well as industrial segment is likely to see healthy sales traction during 2HFY15. In addition, we expect Pidilite‟s margin to expand during 2HFY15, led by fall in crude and hence VAM prices. Overall, during FY14-FY16E, Sales and PAT are likely to grow at CAGR of 17-18% and 25% respectively. The stock is trading at P/E of 35x and 29x FY15E and FY16E earnings respectively. Although, valuations are stretched, we believe the company to enjoy premium due to strong earnings growth trajectory and its healthy return profile.

Britannia CMP ` 1,343

Investment Arguments:

One of the largest organised biscuit player in India (35% MS), with well known premium brands like Good Day, Tiger, Nutrichoice, Britannia 50-50, Marie Gold, Treat etc. The company is scaling up its presence in Dairy, Rusk and Snacks segment. Margins has expanded from 5% to 8% and has room to further expand based on cost optimisation program, efficient supply chain management and premiumisation leading to favourable mix change. We expect Britannia‟s PE multiple to re-rate going forward (~28x FY16E now) in tandem with structural improvement in margin profile and revenue growth rates.

Alembic Pharma CMP `387

Investment Arguments:

Alembic Pharma has been showing significant growth over past 2-3 years. Its strong ANDA filings for US and increasing contribution from specialty portfolio in domestic formulations, enhanced R&D efforts and a strong balance sheet expected to drive healthy revenue and PAT growth over next 2-3 years. At CMP, the stocks is trading at a multiple of 18.3x of FY16 earnings.

Arvind Ltd CMP ` 273

Investment Arguments:

Arvind offers one of the most inexpensive ways to participate in the growth story of Indian branded apparel segment. The company holds one of the best brand portfolio in India with 28 brands (Tommy Hilfiger, Arrow, US Polo, Hanes, etc.) under its fold. We believe, Arvind is likely to get re-rated over medium to long term, on the back of (1) monetisation of surplus land leading to deleveraging of its balance sheet (2) a successful turnaround of Megamart and (3 )likely demerger of its branded portfolio. At CMP, the stock is trading at reasonable valuation of 13x FY16E P/E ratio. Recent correction from peak of ` 330, provides good opportunity to participate in quality integrated textile business.
