Market outlook

Market Mantra







Market outlook






Stay focused…cooling likely later






The ability to focus attention on important things is a defining characteristic of intelligence. - Robert J. Shiller






There is no stopping the Indian juggernaut these days with the steady flow of FII money keeping the interest alive in the market. Another quarter more or less in line with expectations for India Inc. is something many are anticipating. Stay focused as we do have a few macroeconomic headwinds in the form of high inflation and rising cost of capital. Right now it’s all about momentum, which is driving the stocks up.






Growing global risk appetite in the face of adverse news flow from the MENA region, eurozone and Japan has been another source of support lately. We therefore expect the current rally to stretch a bit longer. Stay alert for global developments as they could change the direction anytime. Keep an eye on crude oil price swings.






Today’s start is likely to be slightly positive but given the indecisive cues from the global markets the early gains may not sustain for long. The key indices could turn choppy later in the day. Action may continue in the non-index counters but beware of stocks with dubious track record. On the Nifty, 5860 might act as a strong support today.










Trading ideas (Time period: 1-3 days)






Sterlite (BUY, between Rs170-171, Target Rs181): Sterlite on the daily chart has given breakout from ‘rounding saucer’ pattern above Rs170 and hence forth as long the stock holds above the support levels of Rs170, there is high probability of stock testing levels of Rs187 in the near term. Analysing the volume trend on the day to day basis suggest that volumes have been expanding during the upmoves and contracting during the downtick which suggest accumulation phase at lower levels. The daily RSI too has been holding the support of 50 mark which exhibits strength and could move into an overbought position of 65 in the near term. We advise buying stock in the range of Rs170-171 with stop loss of Rs166 for Target of Rs181. (Duration 5 days)






Bank of India (BUY, above Rs489, Target Rs505): Last week Bank of India crossed critical hurdle of Rs470-472 and has been able to sustain above same for third consecutive trading session. Daily chart shows that the stock has broken out from Ascending triangle and manage to close above in positive terrain for third trading day. RSI on the weekly chart has also given positive crossover after moving in a rounding bottom pattern. Based on above mentioned technical parameters, we recommend traders to buy the stock above Rs489 with stop loss of Rs483 for target of Rs505.

Weekly Wrap Investment ideas August 27, 2010


Weekly Wrap
Investment ideas August 27, 2010
1
US markets to drive growth
FY09 revenues saw an increase of 40% yoy and a further increase
of 18% in FY10. In FY10, the company filed 13 drug applications in
North America, of which 12 Abbreviated New Drug Applications
(ANDAs) were in the US and one in Canada. The US generic pipeline
now comprises 73 ANDAs pending with the USFDA, including 11
tentative approvals. Its generic business is set to benefit from market
share gain in generic Prilosec OTC and new product launches.
Management has guided on 8-10 product launches in the US (FY11).
Its low competition generic product ‘Fondaparinux’, if approved, could
provide further revenue visibility.
Russian business adding momentum
Revenue growth of 25% in Russia outperformed Russian market
growth of 8% in FY10. Growth was driven by strong contributions
from the OTC segment as well as prescription sales. Key brands
such as Nise, Cetrine, Keterol, Omez and Ciprolet played a major
role. At present, it accounts for 1.4% market share in value terms
(Pharmexpert MAT, March ‘10).
Strongly placed in Indian formulations business
Indian formulation business saw a revenue growth of 20% in FY10
to Rs10.2bn. This was mainly on account of volume growth of ~16%,
new product led growth of ~6% and price de growth of 2%. New
product launches constituted ~5% of the total revenue. Its top 10
brands accounted revenues of Rs3.8bn (38% of India’s formulation
revenue). It had launched 11 new products in Q1FY11 and expects
to continue with the momentum. Going ahead, management expects
to witness a CAGR of ~18% in the next two years driven by new
product launches and addition of field force.
Outlook and Valuation
FY10 saw improvement in profitability and cashflows and was
evident in the form of strong operational cash flows of Rs14.8bn
(FY10) against Rs3.5bn (FY09) mainly led by strong profitability
and reduction in working capital. Management expects to earn a
ROCE 18-22%, in line with the goal of reaching 25% by 2012-13. It
expects to maintain double digit growth in India and Russia. US
generics continue to be a key market. In the US markets, it has
been aggressive in Para IV filings in FY10. Going ahead, it is all set
to tap the opportunity and benefit from the large number of drugs
going off patent in US over the next 2-3 years. It currently trades at
20.3x FY 11E earnings. Our price target of Rs1,803 is 20x FY12E
earnings.

IMS business to drive 26% revenue CAGR over FY10-12
The experience and expertise in system integration (SI),
technologicall depth, wide onsite reach and sizeable remote
infrastructure make ADSL a leading IMS player in the domestic
market. The company has gained a strong foothold in the US market
with the acquisition of EPGS in mid-FY09. After struggling initially,
EPGS is now on a sturdy growth path with FY11 revenue expected
at US$55mn, a growth of 28% yoy despite offshoring. Overall IMS
revenues of the company are expected to witness FY10-12 CAGR
of 38% v/s 16% for SI segment. Resultantly, IMS revenue share
would increase from 56% in FY10 to 64% in FY12.
EBIDTA to expand 230bps over FY10-12; to reach 22% in FY12
ADSL’s margin improved significantly by 200bps in FY10 driven by
implementation of hybrid delivery model in EPGS, cross-selling of
value added services to EPGS clients, revenue mix shift in the
domestic business towards high-margin IMS segment and towards
RIM within. EPGS operating margin has improved to 7% from near
0% when acquired. We expect ADSL’s OPM to expand by ~190bps
in FY11 and ~40bps in FY12 on further expansion in EPGS OPM
(to 17-18% over next 2 years), continued revenue mix shift towards
IMS/RIM and contribution from theLenovo deal.
To turn FCF positive in FY11; growth without dilution/leverage
We estimate ADSL to have turned CFO positive in FY10 and become
FCF positive in FY11. Augmentation in CFO and FCF over FY10-12
would be driven by robust revenue growth, margin expansion,
reduction in working capital intensity (due to decline in SI revenue
share) and no significant capex (current NOC/SOC utilization is low).
This and the robust Cash balance (Rs2.2bn, 20% of m-cap) eliminate
the need for equity issuance and balance sheet leverage to fund
growth over the next 3-4 years. Another pleasant feature about ADSL
is its pure RoE of 20%+ (driven by high RoA) as the company has
negligible leverage. The utilization of significant C&E would only
improve RoE in the coming years.
Robust 30% earnings CAGR; valuations cheap at 6x FY12 P/E
A strong revenue growth of 26% over FY10-12 and material margin
expansion (230bps) would drive robust 30% earnings CAGR for
ADSL. Given the strong earnings growth, significant improvement in
cash flows and a robust/liquid balance sheet, we believe that current
valuation of ADSL at 7.4/6x FY11/12 P/E is extremely attractive.
Further, concerns with respect to EPGS growth/profitability may
lessen considerably over the next couple of quarters through
demonstrated performance. We see significant valuation re-rating
to 7.5-8x FY12 P/E over the next 6 months.

India Infoline Weekly Wrap
Fears of a slower global recovery got re-ignited this week. Existing and
new home sales in the US fell sharply, sending world markets into
tumbling. Despite strong F&O rollovers to the September series, the
NSE Nifty failed to sustain at support of 5,450 levels. Finally, the Nifty
and the BSE Sensex fell by 2.2% each.
Real estate sector bore the brunt of the selloff after the recent spurt.
Metal stocks also came under pressure despite an uptick in LME
prices. Profit booking was also seen in Banking and Auto stocks.
A fresh round of dismal US macroeconomic data rekindled fears of
a double-dip recession in the world's largest economy. Also, a report
scheduled to be released on Friday is likely to reveal that the US
economy grew at less than anticipated pace in the second quarter.
Separately, Standard & Poor's cut Ireland's long-term credit rating.

Hero Honda CMP Rs1,783
Hero Honda has been in a downtrend after hitting 52-week high of
Rs2,070 in last week of June 2010. This week, we saw the stock
breaking below its multiple support levels placed around Rs1,810-
1,830, which coincides with its 200-DMA.
The recent decline was accompanied by impressive volumes.
Further, it has formed Bearish candlestick pattern on the weekly
chart, confirming the negative trend.
The stock had been moving lower ever since it hit its 52-week high.
For the past two months, the stock has been trading within a range
of Rs1,945-1,830. However, it broke below this range on Friday
suggesting a fresh downward move in the coming days.
Every pullback is likely to face resistance around Rs1,830 (200-
DMA). The stock is going ex-dividend by Rs30 on Monday. Traders
are advised to short between the levels of Rs1,750-1,760 with stop
loss of Rs1,790 for target of Rs1,680.
SELL
Triveni Engineering CMP Rs98
After forming Head & shoulder top formation on medium term chart,
stock has broken below neckline prevailing at Rs101. A move below
the neckline is likely to accelerate downward momentum in coming
days all the way to Rs90.
On the weekly chart appearance of Bearish Engulfing pattern
accompanied with Bearish Belt hold is likely to keep stock under
selling pressure in coming days unless we close above Rs101.
We also see Rounding Top pattern which is inherently bearish
structure taking place at Left and Right shoulder suggesting
distribution phase taking place in the range of Rs101-104. We advise
initiating short positions in the counter below Rs97.5 with stop loss
of Rs101 for Target of Rs90.
