India Equity Analytics Today: Buy Stock of KPIT Tech

On recent interview management expect a sales growth of around 10% in 4QFY14 on back of strong sales growth of 12-12.5% in January and

February month of 2014. Last financial year for Q4 company had very low margins because of two reasons, higher ad spend and one-off items.

As Vguard product portfolio consist of 65-70% summer facing in nature and we believe that the strong summer expectation in 2014 and low

base of FY14 would lead a revenue growth of at least 18% in FY14E. ....................................................................... ( Page : 19-21)

"BOOK PROFIT" 14th Mar 2014

Recent rally in Axis Bank is fundamentally not justified but is the result of sentiment boost up lead by Modi effect. Opinion poll suggests BJP led

NDA would come to power after the general election. NDA prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi is perceived by foreign investor as a

decisive and development making leader. Market participates have hope for revival in economy and business growth opportunity to start again.

This would be result of diminishing NPA buffer and profitability boost up. We advice our clients to book part profit.

"BUY" 14th Mar 2014TATA STEEL Ltd :At current market capitalization of Rs. 23444 Crores, the stock is trading at a forward P/B of just 0.9. Tata Steel is a blue chip stock and is

available at a very cheap valuation. But if we look at its historical stock performance, in the past three years it had continued to trade between

0.6 to 1.9 P/B range.With the European crisis behind us, US economy getting stronger and better outlook for Indian economy on the expectation

of stable government at the Center, We feel Tata Steel share price may have some more price appreciation left given the improvement in

financial performance and Outlook. We recommend Buy on the stock at a medium term target price of Rs.401.

Addressing an Investor Con Call, Infosys management has expressed its cautious view on earnings outlook as well as clients spending for near

term. They indicated that FY14E would be a year of lower earnings than NASSCOM guidance followed by FY13 and FY12. The companys knee

jerk has not associated with single factor; these are partly company specific and partly external factors.

to the level of Rs.1214 but still below of our upper side of valuation band. We value bank in the range of Rs. 836 to Rs.1287 depending upon the

fundamental and return ratios. Since our result updated report, the stock has given the return of 24%, now we advice our investor to hold the

Incremental revenue by REVOLO and Systime: As per the management comment, its

dream project REVOLO Technology REVOLO would play a key role to report an

incremental growth in FY15E. KPITs acquisition Systime from Integrated Enterprise

Services (IES) segment would report healthy growth prospects at least over the next

couple of years.

View and Valuation: Impressive organic growth despite inorganic thrust (acquired 10

companies in the last 10 yrs), Potential option value from success of its hybrid engine

venture Revolo (on trial). KPIT has targeted to reach $1bn sales by 2017. Its differentiated

positioning and competitive edge in its focus areas, imperatives to the success of smaller-

sized IT vendors impress to investors.

"On billion dollar journey"

CMP 160

Target Price 185 SAP business back to growth trajectory: KPITs revenue has been facing growth related

issues on account of deficit in SAP business (contributes 24% of sales). Profitability on SAP

business was also a challenge for the company. On 3QFY14 revenues from SAP was down

by 10% (QoQ). However, on the back of deal signings and visible deal pipeline, SAP should

return into growth path in 4QFY14E and FY15E. Considering healthy demand environment

in FY15E, We expect that USD revenue growth in SAP could be in double digits.

Expectation of margin improvement: The decline in SAP revenue has impacted the overall

margins, and margin was seen almost flat at 15.4% in 2QFY14 and 3QFY14. We expect that

profitability from SAP business would support to shape up its margin in next couple of

quarters. Even, Utilization rate in SAP has declined to below 90% at onsite and below 70%

mark at offshore. This is expected to improve in FY15E. Management expects to see PAT

margin at double digit by next couple of quarters.

Auto Engineering Services; a growth driver: The global Automotive Industry has

witnessed a strong revival. US industry sales in 2013 finished at 15.6 million vehicles, up

7.6% from 2012, and China became the first country in which more than 20-million

vehicles were sold in any given year. Considering healthy demand outlook in Auto

Industry, KPIT is seeing exports growth above the industry rates, driven by demand for

services around safety systems, intelligent driving, hybrid electric cars, fuel efficiency etc.

Management expects revenues from Auto Engineering to exceed 30% of the companys

revenues, in the next 3 years, as KPIT expected to achieve the mark of USD1b in

revenues.

Holcim Cements has expressed interest in the grinding unit which has an annual capacity

of 1.5 million tonnes per annum and the talks are at a preliminary stage. Holcim wants to

expand its presence in North India through this strategic asset and will take a call if this

potential deal can be routed through ACC cements.ACC Cements has a cement plant

nearby in Himachal Pradesh and if JP's grinding unit is absorbed, it would be beneficial

logistically and even in terms of costs.

JP Associates,looking to sell its entire stake in its cement joint ventures with SAIL to cut

down its debt.The company is likely to part with its 74% stake in Bhilai and Bokaro

cement plants that together have an installed capacity of 4.3 mtpa. As per the story , the

company is eying around Rs. 2900 crore from the deal with cement major ACC.The deal

with ACC if it happens would imply enterprise value of USD 147 per MT as against USD

127 per MT it got for Gujarat plant sale.

after election by the market players. The sentimental effect on market is on positive side

,hence the low valued stock like ACC took very less time like one month to come to its

near fare value, which we had estimated for a medium term target.

No doubt the stock's fundamentals are good and also available at a cheaper rate

comparing to its early trade . In the previous one month the stock performed well &

recover 20-22% from its estimated low of CY2013. We didn't expected this rise to be so

According to Management the economic environment in the country was sluggish, thus

impacting the demand for cement and concrete. As a result, the company's cement

volumes remained almost flat. The company appears not enthusiastic for demand growth

going forward. Based on current demand indications, we do not foresee any significant

improvement in the cement.

ACC Limited (ACC) is engaged in manufacture of cement & ready mixed concrete. The

Company has grinding plants in Karnataka and clinkering line in Maharashtra. The

Companys subsidiaries include ACC Mineral Resources Limited, Lucky Minmat Limited,

Bulk Cement Corporation (India) Limited, National Limestone Company Private Limited

and Encore Cement and Additives Private Limited. The Company is subsidiary of Ambuja

Cement India Private Limited.

Cement prices witnessed an increase during Oct-Nov,13 but also witnessed a sharp fall

during Dec,13 which has contributed towards lower average realizations for the year for

the company.Further,with a strong balance sheet with zero debt and better dividend

yield of 3%,we continue to remain positive despite near term challenges.We revise our

estimates downwards to factor in lower demand growth scenario. At current price of Rs

1253, stock is trading at 2.8x P/B and 2.8x P/B on CY14 estimates.Valuation looks good

for this company,but we would like to see the 1st quarter for earning upgrading hence

we recommend Book Profit on the stock at a price range between 1253 to 1310.

Company has made several capacity expansion plans in the region. ACC is replacing the

existing facilities at Jamul, Chhattisgarh with a clinker plant with an annual production

capacity of 2.8 MT and local grinding capacity of 1.1 MT of cement, while a new plant

with annual capacity of 2.7 MT is scheduled to be built in Kharagpur. The capacity

expansion plant will increase the company's total cement production capacity to 35 MT

from the existing 30 MT.On a QoQ basis, the EBITDA/tonne improved 10.4% due to an

improvement in realisations & comparatively lower increase in total expenditure/tonne,

it shows a positive view for the further quarters.onsidering the expansion plans we

expect 4% growth in sales volume and 10% growth in realization for CY14.

Asset quality continued to be concern, impairment asset were higher at QoQ,

Management remained cautious on asset quality

On asset quality front, bank saw some deterioration as impaired assets (GNPA +

Restructure Asset) to loan increased from 5.3% to 5.7% sequentially. According to

banks management it would remain at elevated level going forward. However bank

has lower exposure towards corporate segment where slippage risk is relatively high

in current scenario. Total loan in corporate debt restructure was to tune of 30

bn(0.9% of loan). However GNPA showed some strength sequentially and was

improved slightly to 3.07% from 3.10% while net NPA stood at 0.94% versus 0.85%

due to lower loan loss provision made. But provision coverage ratio remained at 70%

level, so nothing to worry about.

Target Price

In our earlier note dated 31st Jan.2014 in which we have given the price target

of Rs.1094 lower side of valuation band. Now the stock reached to the level of

Rs.1214 but still below of our upper side of valuation band. We value bank in

the range of Rs. 836 to Rs.1287 depending upon the fundamental and return

ratios. Since our result updated report, the stock has given the return of 24%,

now we advice our investor to hold the stock as bank has potential to reached

Strong operating performance led by healthy balance sheet growth

ICICI Bank reported revenue growth of 23.5% YoY led by strong operating

performance and healthy non interest income. Strong growth in NII was led by

margin expansion on year on year basis which further led by strong growth in loan

and higher deposits base. Banks loan grew by 16% YoY supported by retail and

oversea loan while deposits grew by 11%. Credit deposits for the quarter was 102%

largely liquidity came from borrowing fund but strong base of CASA kept cost of fund

under control. Operating cost increased by 15.7% YoY but CI ratio remained under

Valuation & View

At the current price of Rs.1214, bank is trading at 1.8 times of FY14E book value. We

value bank in the range of Rs.836 to Rs.1287 depending upon fundamental and return

ratio. Our base case assumption was deposits growth of 12%, loan growth of 17% in

FY14 and margin at current level. Improvement and deterioration from base and bull case

would driven the price movement in either side. We advance our clients to hold the stock

as bank has potential to reach upper side of value band.

Axis banks low cost deposits CASA has grown faster than peers like ICICI bank

and is stable at 43% at the end of 3QFY14. Banks management expects it to reach

at 46% in FY15E which would help to keep cost of deposits under control and hence

margin expansion. In loan growth parameter, Axis bank expects loan growth higher

than industry growth by 2%. Incremental loan growth would come from SME and

retail sector while corporate loan book is expected to remain sluggish. Banks capital

adequacy ratio is close to 17% in which tier -1 capital of 12.5% much healthier than

peers indicating no need to raise money for long tenure in near term. ROA at pre

provisioning profit is at 3% indicating strong capability to delivered profit once asset

quality issue resolve.

Stress loan (GNPA+ Restructure asset) is remained at 3.7% of advances but it might

go up as bank has significant exposure in power (5.54%) and Infrastructure (7.33%)

where slippage risk is relatively high in present economy scenario. Provision

coverage ratio reported by bank is 78% with technical write off which would provides

some cushion on earnings. Axis bank still have 46% of loan exposure in large

corporate where profitability uncertain due to ongoing recession. Therefore on asset

quality front, bank would still have to face tough time as per our view.

We believe market sentiment in recent days are boosted up on the hope that BJP

led NDA would come to power after the general election and revive economy. The

domestic equity market is supported by opinion poll result which suggests BJP led

NDA coming to power after the forthcoming election. Over the last few months, the

estimated numbers of seat, the NDA may win has increased from 165-175 to 220-

230 seats. The prime ministerial candidate of NPA Narendra Modi is known for his

development in Gujarat. Domestic as well as foreign investors are in hope that Indian

economy would come at track and business opportunity would start again. Banking

stocks are rallied more than other sectors in hoping of reducing fresh NPA creation.

CMP

In last one month, Axis Bank has outperformed Bank Nifty and CNX Nifty by

6% and 18% respectively and is now trading at more than 1.7 times of FY14E

book value which is above of our upper side of valuation band. We value bank

in the range of 1.5 to 1.7 times of book lower than its peers group largely due

to some exposure in stress sector specially in infra and power companies

where slippage risk are relatively high. We value bank in the range of Rs.1220

to Rs.1340 per share that implying book value multiple of 1.5 to 1.7 based on

current fundamental and return ratios. The rise of stock price is supported by

opinion poll result which suggests BJP led NDA would come in power. NDA

prime ministry candidate Narendra Modi is perceived by foreign investor as a

decisive and development making leader and would rescue economy. AXISBANK

Company update BUY A gloomy outlook by Infosys; however, the best is yet to come.

Addressing an Investor Con Call, Infosys management has expressed its cautious view on

earnings outlook as well as clients spending for near term. They indicated that FY14E

would be a year of lower earnings than NASSCOM guidance followed by FY13 and FY12.

The companys knee jerk has not associated with single factor; these are partly company

specific and partly external factors. We expect, this adverse scenario would impact its

earnings growth for next couple of quarters.

Stock Performance

View and Valuation: Infosys seems to be on its way to rediscovering its past mojo with

revenue momentum kicking, and the NRN invisible hand in play. Further announcement of

strategic acquisitions, better utilization of cash balances, better deal win, consistent client

traction and revenue momentum would help the company to bridge the gap with rivals

such as TCS. At a CMP of Rs 3358, it trades at 16x FY15E earnings. We retain our BUY

view on the stock with a target price of target price of Rs 3760 (revised from 3910).

Impact on Estimates: We expect that the recent developments of Infosys could adversely

impact our sales guidance by 2-3% and earnings growth guidance by 3-4% for FY15E. We

downgrade our revenue growth guidance from 16.5% to 13.7%.

(3) Challenges with skill mis-matches: Infosys CEO anticipated order cancellation from

some of its clients because of its skill mis-match issue. Infosys has also seen some

challenges with skill mis-matches between clients needs and what company could have

provided; this has led to slowdown in ramp-ups.

(1) Poor response from Retail and CPG verticals: In the retail segment (contributes 25%

of sales) a sluggish sales over the last 2 months, severe winter, and aggressive discounts

by retailers have led to lesser profitability. In addition, this has led to capping of additional

spending in CY14. Some retail clients have specific issues leading to categorization of

spends. We expect this is not specific for Infosys, it could be viral for the Industry growth.

(2) Portfolio related concern in Manufacturing: Recently, Manufacturing segment

(contributes 22% of sales) has adversely impacted by the reduced PC sales and capex

spending in networking and this will have an impact on revenue growth in this segment.

Revenue contribution from manufacturing segments stands larger than other peers.

We believe that strong demand environment across the industry would offer Infosys

breathing space to tide over reorganization-related challenges. Its strategies on sales

effectiveness and cost optimization initiative could turn the growth story as before.

Now, we are waiting for next earning outlook and guidance by management for FY15E.

Financials


Why the best is yet to come?

Recent weak guidance given by Infosys management is not an episode of close out. The

company is working on various strategies to rediscovering its past sparkle days with

revenue momentum kicking.

Already, company has initiated to work closely with clients and focused on building

relationship for deal intake. To maintain margin stability and increase productivity,

company is working efficiently on cost optimization initiative. However, the management

indicated that early signs of sales effectiveness initiative would start showing from

1HFY15E.

On recent interview management expect a sales growth of around 10% in 4QFY14 on back of

strong sales growth of 12-12.5% in January and February month of 2014.

Last financial year for Q4 company had very low margins because of two reasons, higher ad

spend and one-off items. From that level, we expect there would been improvement this

quarter and margin would be somewhere around 8.51%.

Company expect the ad spends in the current quarter are likely to be Rs. 11-12 crore (2.85%

of expected revenue in 4QFY14E), compared to 14 crore (3.7% of 4QFY13 revenue) which

should in our view aid in the margin expansion in current quarter.

The El Nio visibility in 2014 would be the another factor for the revenue growth of

companies like Vgaurd. As Vguard product portfolio consist of 65-70% summer facing in nature

and we believe that the strong summer expectation in 2014 and low base of FY14 would lead a

revenue growth of at least 18% in FY14E.

Forecast updates strengthen El Nino fears

In its update on Thursday, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology said factors that lead to an El

Nino were now increasingly visible. "The tropical Pacific Ocean subsurface has warmed

substantially over the past few weeks

Indian Met officials are treating the reports with caution, saying that though chances of an El

Nino developing around mid-2014 are growing, predictions made at this stage suffer from low

accuracy.

US agency NOAA's Climate Prediction Center, which updated its forecast on Wednesday, said

temperature anomalies associated with El Nino had strongly increased since the end of January.

Further, NOAA said there was a 50% chance of El Nino developing during the summer or autumn

this year.

El Nino 'the boy' in Spanish

is an unusual warming of

sea surface waters in eastern

and central equatorial Pacific

associated with changes in

wind patterns that impact

weather in many parts of the

world. It generally has an

adverse effect on the Indian

monsoon.

EBITDA % and PAT % Q-o-Q

We expect margin to expand in 4QFY14E on back of lowered ad spends and non hoping of one-

off items which hit the p/l in past year of same quarter. However we restrict our EBITDA

expectation for FY14E to 8.9% against management guidance of 9-9.5% due to significant

reduction in copper prices both in dollar terms as well as in rupee terms as company value its

inventory on mark-to-market basis but apart from that there are no other issues we could see.

The El Nio visibility in 2014 would be the another factor for the revenue growth of companies

like Vgaurd. As Vguard product portfolio consist of 65-70% summer facing in nature and we

believe that the strong summer expectation in 2014 and low base of FY14 would lead a revenue

growth of at least 18% in FY14E.

At the current CMP of Rs. 452, the stock is trading at a PE of 17.0x and 13.4x of FY14E and

FY15E. The company can post RoE of 24.0% and 24.1% & EPS of Rs. 26.4 and Rs. 33.6 FY14E and

FY15E. We believe that from current level the growth would pick pace expected acceleration of

growth momentum, given the strong outlook of summer going forward. We revised our rating to

Buy from Hold with a revised price target of Rs. 525.

Tata Steel is a blue chip stock and is available at a very cheap valuation. With the

European crisis behind us, US economy getting stronger and better outlook for Indian

economy on the expectation of stable government at the Center, We feel Tata Steel may

have price appreciation. valuing the financial performance We recommend Buy on the

stock at a medium term target price of Rs.401.



Odisha Project could provide further upside in long-term: The Company aims to make

value added steel products at the new facility in Odisha (3mtpa) where the blended

realizations could be potentially higher than existing products by 2015. We believe timely

clearance for expansion of iron ore mine is critical for the plant. The company's Odisha

plant is highly automated and will require fewer employees/ton compared to its

Jamshedpur facility.


NSE Symbol TATASTEEL

On the back of a consistent operational improvement at the companys European

operations We are positive on the stock in long run .However, on the back of ongoing

capacity expansion, the gross debt is expected to increase from 66074 crore (FY13) to

76919 crore (FY14E) and 77543 crore (FY15E).

In our view, unlike Karnataka and Goa, Odisha is very critical for the Indian steel industry.

We estimate Odisha iron ore production in FY13 stood at 62MT (accounting for ~45% of

Indias production).

At current market capitalization of Rs. 23444 Crores, the stock is trading at a forward P/B

of just 0.9. Tata Steel is a blue chip stock and is available at a very cheap valuation. But if

we look at its historical stock performance, in the past three years it had continued to

trade between 0.6 to 1.9 P/B range. After bottoming out in August 2013 at a stock price of

just under Rs. 200, Tata Steel stock have more than doubled in the past few months. Since

January 2014, the stock had corrected slightly but still it is available at a low P/B (very

much closer to the lower end of its P/B range). With the European crisis behind us, US

economy getting stronger and better outlook for Indian economy on the expectation of

stable government at the Center, We feel Tata Steel share price may have some more

price appreciation left given the improvement in financial performance and Outlook. We

recommend Buy on the stock at a medium term target price of Rs.401.

production from currently operating facilities. TSE expects to liquidate inventories in
