Market Outlook

Markets trades at premium valuation compared to EM peers on expectations

of economic recovery and strong domestic liquidity, short term volatility may

be on rising current account deficit, and global trade uncertainty, long term

uptrend to intact: � Equity markets likely to trade volatile in near term with fear of escalation trade war after proposed US led

tariff hike in various Chinese products to hurt investors’ sentiments. Indian markets likely to outperform EM peers on signs of earnings recovery in Q1FY19.

� A cyclical pick-up in the business cycle coupled with rising earnings expectations drives the optimism for

Indian markets, and we maintain ‘Overweight’ stance on India. � India is at a very different stage of the business cycle compared to its Emerging Markets peers, as many

developing economies are on the cusp of a bear market,on weakening economic macros. Whereas in India we see slow and gradual recovery in investment cycle going forward.

� Rising crude oil prices are key risk to markets and it is inflationary will increase Current account deficit

(CAD) is adversely impacting domestic currency. Adverse currency movements in many emerging markets including India is key reason for FPI selling. So far in August FPI were net buyers in Indian markets.

� We continue to remain overweight India from a structural perspective. Still now India puts up a brave face

in emerging markets equity sell-off due to macro recovery and resilient GDP growth. We see 12-15% earnings growth in India in FY19 and any upgrade could push markets in higher levels.

� We like select IT and Pharma stocks on signs of margin stabilization and tactical move on domestic

currency weakness. � Rural focused consumption stocks and two wheelers companies could see higher demand on rising

government spending in rural India ahead of general election.

� The company is in constant endeavor to make new product launches and technological innovations.It has made three new product launches in the same calendar year with scooter NTorq 125 followed by the Apache RTR 160 4V and 110cc commuter motorcycle Radeon.These launches came at a time when the segment sees immense competition.On innovation front,its new product Radeon equipped with synchronized braking technology, a first-in-segment feature, which provides better braking control and minimizes skidding.It has also made investment to Ultraviolette Automotive Pvt Ltd for developing e-mobility solutions that are expected to outperform the traditional ICE motorcycles in the 200-250cc segment.All these new developments will help the company to place itself as a strong player in the automobile sector and will be well equipped to sustain the stiff competition that the segment is expected to face.This will eventually help it to maintain its margin and retain its sales volume.

� The recent move on insurance cover from one year to five year could disrupt the sales temporarily in the two wheeler segment.The initial outgo on the new vehicles pushing up the on road prices and demand may get impacted in the short run.The two wheeler prices are likely to rise by 3 percent to 8 percent on new insurance norm from September 2018.

� The company is considering to reduce its import content of raw materials and will be relying on domestic market for its raw material.It increased its average sell price by 11 percent year-on-year lead by a richer product mix and a depreciation of INR against USD.These developments backed by technological innovations will help the company to strategically position itself as a strong market player whose margins and volumes will not be affected much due to stiff competition faced by this segment.

wedged pattern and recently broke above this pattern which is bullish for the stock. Moreover this breakout of this pattern is accompanied with strong volumes which augur well for end of downtrend and start of uptrend for this stock.

Investment Theme

The company started off the financial year 2018-19 on a strong note as first quarter profit surged 33.9 percent on growth across the board.Profit increased to Rs 234.5 crore from Rs 175.1 crore in same period last year and the revenue during the quarter rose 23.2 percent year-on-year to Rs 1,479.7 crore, backed by domestic as well as exports businesses.Despite continued inflationary pressures on raw material and energy front EBITDA grew by 28.6 percent year-on-year to Rs 428.7 crore and margin expanded by 120 basis points to 29 percent in Q1.The company reported Q1FY19 was the seventh consecutive quarter of sequential revenue growth, driven by combination of de-risked business model and end market growth.

percent YoY growth in FY19.The company expects domestic industrial segment to growth 15-18 percent over the next one-and-a-half years led by the government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative and its domestic procurement policy. It is well-positioned to take advantage of these opportunities and has lined up lots of new products. The company has robust order book.In the last two years, it bagged more than Rs 1,620 crore in orders. Most orders belong to the Passenger Vehicles and industrial segments. During Q1, its standalone business saw orders worth Rs 120 crore across the domestic and export market. German operations - CDP Bharat Forge - has secured new business worth €40 million for supply of aluminium forgings to a marquee premium vehicle manufacturer. These orders are expected to start contributing to revenue from 2019. Going forward, we expects to see that the company sustains its demand at the current levels.While demand is extremly strong on the export front across sectors, domestic demand especially on the commercial vehicle (CV) front could be volatile due to the recent regulatory change in axle load norms and the understanding of its impact on end demand. But the Indian commercial vehicle story remains intact, will not impact the business to a great extent.The positive outlook for industrials, Class 8 truck demand in the US and multiple growth avenues like robust order book, diversification through multiple avenues, business expansions make it an ideal investment call.

Technical Outlook � Bharat Forge corrected after having a strong rally from INR 400

to INR 780 during the period January 2017 to April 2018. Thereafter the stock corrected and took support at 50% Fibonacci retracement level of around 580. The share consolidated around 580-600 and built a base and thereafter started to move up.

� The stock has been moving up and now on weekly chart formed higher top higher bottom formation over last few weeks. It also made a short term moving average crossover of 7wma & 13wma (weekly moving average crossover) which is positive for the stock to move up

� The stock has started it upmove and now likely to rally to make a

fresh high as it bounced back from correction level. Target on the upside will be INR 790 which is likely to be achieved in time of 12months

ICICI Prudential Life

Insurance

Sector:Insurance-Life |NSECODE: ICICIPRULI � ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company is the largest private

life insurance company, which is a joint venture between ICICI Bank Limited and Prudential Corporation Holdings Limited. The Company provides life insurance, pensions and health insurance to individuals and groups. It conducts business in participating, non-participating and unit linked lines of businesses.

Investment Theme � The insurance sector in India is on a structural growth path.

Listed private insurers have gained a significant edge over agency-led insurers and are now witnessing accelerated growth. We are enthused by private insurers’ improving profitability metrics in general and changing business mix in particular. We see low penetration, increasing persistency ratios and growth of protection business as key growth drivers for insurance companies.

� ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Ltd. is looking to

increase its investments in protection products to earn higher new business margins. Its share of protection business rose to 8 percent in the quarter ended June from 5 percent of annualized premium equivalent a year ago. This was the key reason for a 700-basis-point expansion in the company’s new business margin, a measure of profitability for insurance companies, at 17.5 percent. The insurer’s new business premium in the June quarter rose 34 percent over last year to Rs 144 crore. The company expects the cost ratio to improve as the company’s investments in the past start yielding benefits in the form of volume.

� Current price correction from INR 428 is around 12.6% and this level is around 61.8% Fibonacci retrenchment

level of the up move starting from INR 347.50. This fall is due to concern over higher claim due to Kerala flood. However we think that impact on P&L will be insignificant due to flood. Premium from Kerala forms a small proportion of overall premium. Worst case impact could be 5-6% of profit. Recent correction provides opportunity to accumulate the company as it is the largest private insurance company and its valuation comes to reasonable level post recent corrections. We think most of the negatives priced in due to Kerala flood concern. Most of the claims comes generally in general insurance segment and due to low life insurance penetration, damage for life insurers could be low. In could be contoured as a contra pick in growing life insurance segment. Natural calamities generally increase the awareness of the need of insurance and may boost sales for short term.

� We have seen ICICI Prudential Life’s stock underperforming the Nifty in the past one year. The rally after its Q4 earnings was short lived as the stock corrected on the back of technical factors like promoter’s stake sale. Uncertainty relating to the management change at the parent bank weighed on the stock’s performance.

� The stock is currently trading at 3 times trailing P/EV (price to embedded value), a significant discount to

HDFC Standard Life (trading at 6.4x P/EV), despite RoEV improving from 16.5 percent in FY17 to 22.7 percent in FY18. The valuation discount of around 50 percent to its closest peer as unwarranted and expect the gap to narrow down in the near to medium term, offering upside to the current stock price.We remain positive on the insurance sector and suggest investors to participate in insurance growth story through ICICI Prudential Life, which is available at a compelling valuation.

Technical Outlook

� ICICI Pru stock price after rally till INR 510 is now

undergoing consolidation phase for last one year. In this consolidating pattern the stock has been rebounding strongly around its support zone of weekly Bollinger bands level and taking resistance at its band resistance level.

� Currently the stock after rallying from support zone has

corrected over 61.8%. A correction till 78.6% retracement level also will be close horizontal support zone of around INR 365. As technical indicators in daily chart are in oversold zone and turned northward indicating start of upward rally in short term.

� We expect the price to move up and upside price target

projection will be around INR 430 which is trend line resistance zone. Time period for the target is likely to be achieved in 12 months.
