From the Editor’s Desk
From the Editor’s Desk Bitter Pill

The dove soared high yet again on August 6. Mint Street reduced the benchmark repo rate
for the fourth consecutive time by an unusual 35 bps to a record low of 5.4%, noting that
addressing growth concerns assume the highest priority. Though the Reserve Bank of India
(RBI) is thus going all guns on growth, the markets refused to be cheered by the rate cut. The
steep increase in tax surcharge on FPI (Foreign portfolio Investment) investors that the FM
introduced have sent the markets into a tizzy, wiping off almost Rs. 12-13 lakh crore of investor
wealth since the Budget. The Sensex and Nifty slipped as a result.

However, some relief may be around the corner, with news that the government might
contemplate introducing some measures to ease steep tax increase for FPIs. The move may
provide some boost to the market sentiments, which already dropped close to 5-6% in July.

The RBI’s statement on August 6 also outlined some other relief measures. The central bank
outlined some key measures to boost credit growth and lift the pressure on NBFCs. It has
reduced risk weights on consumer credit and allowed banks a greater exposure of to single
NBFCs. Further, government expenditure would continue to provide some support for growth.
Also, bank lending to NBFCs for agricultural and SME advances would get the ‘priority-sector’
tag. These are baby steps but would lead to some green shoots of confidence even as the
crises around NBFCs have a long way to go before settling down.

News on the macro front is mixed with monsoon seen improvement and crude is softening
further. However, globally, the effects of escalating trade tensions between the US and China
and uncertainty around the Brexit could keep market on tenterhooks.

In this scenario, the focus shifts to corporate earnings. Though Q1 earnings have been mixed,
there have been some pockets of positivity as well. Overall, though challenges persist for the
markets in the medium term, we remain constructive on equities for an investment horizon of
3-5 years. Indian stock markets look relatively attractive on a market cap-to-GDP basis and
some of the positive steps taken by the government in recent times would help the economy
recover gradually in the coming months. Though even some blue-chip stocks corrected sharply,
we believe that investors should take this volatility as an opportunity to invest in high-quality
stocks with a strong earnings outlook.

Summary
• Bank of Baroda (BoB), on re-stated basis, reported weak Q1FY2020 results. NII grew by just 2.61% y-o-y to Rs. 6,496 crore

Summary
• We downgrade Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals (Crompton) to Neutral on account of headwinds in lighting and ECD
business in the medium term along with higher valuation.
• In Q1FY2020, the ECD segment maintained its revenue growth momentum, while the lighting division’s PBIT margin came in at
multi-year low. Higher other income led to steady growth in net earnings.
• We expect lighting to be affected by slowdown in B2B, price erosion in LED and declining growth trend in conventional lighting
delaying targeting double-digit PBIT margin.
• ECD business’ volume growth led by favourable season may not hold good going ahead given the weak macro environment
and higher competitive intensity.

USD-INR: CMP Rs. (70.60)
Indian rupee appreciated by 0.33% in the previous month as the government slashed fiscal deficit target to 3.3% for FY2020 from 3.4% in Union
Budget. Further, the government is thinking of raising part of its fiscal borrowing in foreign currency. However, sharp gain was prevented on risk
aversion in domestic markets, strong dollar and continued FII outflows from local shares. Surge in crude oil prices also impacted the rupee.
Outlook: Indian rupee is expected to trade with a negative bias on strong dollar and weak domestic market sentiments. Market sentiments are hurt
on rise in trade tensions between the U.S. and China, escalating geopolitical tensions in Middle East and fears over political uncertainty in India after
the government scrapped special status for Jammu And Kashmir State. Further, continued FII outflows from local shares will hurt rupee. Traders
will remain cautious ahead of macroeconomic data. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) slashed interest rates by 35 BPS to 5.40% and maintained its
accommodative stance. Further, it lowered its GDP forecast for the current fiscal year to 6.9% from 7% predicted earlier. The expected trading range
in the near term is 69.50 – 71.50.

EUR-INR: CMP Rs. (79.15)


Euro depreciated by 2.61% in the previous month on strong dollar and disappointing economic data from Eurozone. Further, European Central Bank
(ECB) has kept its policy unchanged and signaled a possible rate cut in September and is considering other options for easing. Additionally, the U.S.
added more European products on the list, on which it plans to levy taxes in retaliation to trans-Atlantic subsidy dispute.
Outlook: Euro currency is expected to trade with a negative bias amid strength in dollar. Disappointing data will spark concerns over the economic
health of Eurozone. Traders will remain cautious ahead of European Central Bank’s (ECB) monetary policy meeting minutes to get cues on future
monetary stance. The expected trading range in the near term is 77.30– 80.0.

GBP-INR: CMP Rs. (86.08)


British pound depreciated by 4.23% in July amid strong dollar and as worries over no deal Brexit increased as Boris Johnson got elected as U.K. Prime
Minister. Boris Johnson reiterated that the U.K. will exit EU on October 31 with or without the deal. Bank of England policymakers unanimously voted
to keep interest rates unchanged at 0.75% and slashed its economic growth outlook.
Outlook: Pound is expected to trade with a negative bias on worries over No-Deal Brexit and disappointing economic data from U.K. Contraction in
construction and manufacturing sector sparked concerns over the economic health of the country. Further, U.K. GDP data is forecast to show that the
economy expanded at a slower rate in June 2019. Manufacturing production data is likely to show a decline in activity. The expected trading range
in the near term is 83.50 – 87.20.

JPY-INR: CMP Rs. (66.54)


Yen depreciated by 0.86% in the previous month on strong dollar and as Bank of Japan kept its deposit rates unchanged at -0.10% and promised to
keep rates low for an extended period at least through spring 2020. Further, it has revised its inflation forecast downward.
Outlook: Japanese yen is expected to trade with a positive bias amid risk aversion in global markets. Market sentiments are hurt on rising trade
tensions between the U.S. and China, Japan and Korea trade dispute, Brexit uncertainty and geopolitical tensions in Middle East. U.S. President Donald
Trump said he would impose 10% tariff on further $300 billion Chinese imports. The Chinese government has asked its state-owned enterprises to
stop importing U.S. agricultural products. However, sharp gains may be prevented on expectation of disappointing economic data from Japan. The
expected trading range in the near term is 64.50 – 68.0.

EARNINGS GUIDE EQUITY FUNDAMENTALS

Remarks
Automobiles

Apollo Tyres  Apollo Tyres Limited (ATL) is the market leader in the truck and bus tyre segments in India. The company is
present in the Indian and European markets. ATL’s domestic business (70% of revenue) is under pressure as OEM
demand has decelerated sharply. The management has sharply cut its FY2020 domestic market growth guidance
to flat as against 10% growth projected earlier. Increased depreciation expenses (30% increase in FY2020) due
to commencement of new Andhra Pradesh plant and lease accounting under AS116 and higher interest expenses
would lead to earnings falling sharply by 17% in FY2020. We downgrade our recommendation to Hold from Buy
earlier.

Ashok Leyland  Ashok Leyland Limited (ALL), the second largest CV manufacturer in India, is a pure play on CV. The MHCV
industry’s growth has turned negative after five consecutive years of growth. An economic slowdown, impact of
revised axle-load norms (players have increased capacity by 15-20%) and pressure on freight rates have pulled
down MHCV growth. Moreover, the industry is likely to witness a sharp 12-14% increase in costs with the transition
to BS-VI norms with effect from April 1, 2020, which would further dampen demand. We believe the MHCV
industry is amid a downcycle and expect a drop in volumes during FY2019-FY2021. We retain our Reduce rating
on the stock.

Bajaj Auto  Bajaj Auto Limited (BAL) is a leading motorcycle and three-wheeler manufacturer with a significant presence in
export markets. In the domestic market, it is a leader in the premium motorcycle segment. BAL has successfully
gained market share in the domestic motorcycle segment, led by aggressive pricing. Its market share has surged
from 15.6% in FY2018 to 18.8% for FY2019. BAL’s topline growth is likely to moderate sharply to a low single-digit
growth in FY2020. Domestic demand headwinds coupled with moderating growth in exports would drag topline
growth. Further, margin drop on account of steep regulatory cost increases and introduction of new products at
aggressive prices would lead to earnings dropping in FY2020. We retain our Reduce rating on the stock.

Gabriel India  Gabriel India Limited (GIL) is one of India’s leading manufacturers of shock absorbers and front forks manufacturer
with a diversified customer base. The outlook from auto OEMs has substantially deteriorated. Topline growth of
Gabriel is expected to moderate in FY2020, given the slowdown in the automotive OEM segment particularly
two-wheeler (2W) and passenger vehicle (PV), which contribute about 75% to the topline. Management has
indicated that it is unable to fully pass on cost increases to OEM customers in wake of weak demand environment.
Moreover, Gabriel’s product mix is expected to remain adverse with lower share of the PV segment and expect
Gabriel’s margins to drop by 60 BPS in FY2020. We retain our Hold rating on the stock.

Hero MotoCorp  Hero MotoCorp Limited (Hero) is one of the largest 2W manufacturer. FY2019 ended on a weak note for the
2w industry as well as the company. Hero’s volume growth slowed down substantially to a meager 3%. The 2W
industry’s demand is likely to remain under pressure due to weak consumer sentiments and higher inventory.
We expect the 2W industry to decline in FY2020 and expect Hero’s volumes to drop by 7% in FY2020. Declining
volumes would lead to negative operating leverage, which coupled with higher competitive intensity would
increase costs and lead to margin contraction. Consequently, we expect earnings to drop in FY2020.

M&M  M&M is a leading manufacturer of tractors and utility vehicles in India. It is a leader in the tractor segment. M&M’s
Q1FY20 results missed estimates due to a margin miss in the automotive segment and higher depreciation and
lower other income which lead to PAT miss. M&M’s automotive volume outlook has turned challenging due to
weak consumer sentiment, liquidity crunch and we expect declining trend to continue in medium term. Also, the
management has cut FY2020 tractor growth forecast to flat from 5-6% growth projected earlier. Overall M&M’s
volumes are expected to drop by 4% CAGR over FY19-21. Negative operating leverage, high cost pressures would
lead to margin contraction while high depreciation and tax expense would further drag PAT. We downgrade our
recommendation on the stock to Hold.

EQUITY FUNDAMENTALS EARNINGS GUIDE

Maruti Suzuki  Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) is India’s largest passenger vehicle (PV) manufacturer. The company reported
a strong 51% market share as of FY2019. The passenger vehicle industry ended FY2019 on a weak note with
volumes growing marginally by 3%. The domestic PV industry has remained under pressure over the past 2-3
quarters. Volumes in Q1FY2020 dropped steeply by 18% y-o-y. Slow economic growth, liquidity issues and
delayed monsoon resulting in rural stress and regulatory cost increase would pressurise volumes. We expect
the passenger vehicle industry’s volumes to decline. Operating de-leverage, increasing cost pressures and high
sales and promotion expenses would drag margins. Consequently, we expect MSIL’s earnings to remain flat. We
retain our Hold Rating on the stock.

TVS Motor  TVS Motor (TVSM) is the fourth largest 2W manufacturer in the country with a strong presence in the scooter
segment. The company manufactures mopeds and motorcycles as well. The domestic 2W industry’s volumes are
on a declining trend and TVSM expects the trend to continue and has guided for a volume drop in the remainder
of 9MFY2020. Slow economic growth, rural stress and increased ownership cost due to the upcoming BS6
emission norms would impact demand. TVSM’s volume growth is expected to decelerate sharply to flat growth
in FY2020 as against 13% growth in FY2019. Margins are unlikely to improve in FY2020, given elevated costs
and high competitive pressures. Increased tax rates, higher depreciation and interest expenses would impact
earnings. We expect TVSM’s earnings to drop in FY2020. We downgrade our recommendation to Reduce from
Hold.

Banks & Finance

Axis Bank  Axis Bank is the third-largest private sector bank, which is growing faster than the industry and has a well-
diversified loan book having strengths in both retail and corporate segments. The bank’s liability profile has
improved significantly, which would be helpful in sustaining margins at healthy levels. Of late, asset quality is
improving, which we believe is positive for its profitability and growth going forward. Business restructuring as
well as drivers such as normalisation of corporate fee income and growth coming from retail plus midmarket group
are steps in the right direction, which will augment sustainability and profitability. We expect earnings growth to
remain reasonably strong, driven by healthy operating performance. Asset-quality pressure has peaked out and
we expect long-term outlook to improve.

Bajaj Finance  Bajaj Finance, owned by Bajaj Finserv, is a fast-growing, well-diversified leading NBFC in the country. The
company has its assets spread across products, viz. loans for consumer durables, two-wheelers and 3Ws, loans
to small and medium enterprises (SME), mortgage loans and commercial loans. Apart from its strong loan growth,
asset quality and provisioning performance for Bajaj Finance remain among the best in the system. Given the
strong growth rate, high margins and attractive return ratios, its premium valuations within the NBFC space are
expected to be maintained.

Bajaj Finserv  Bajaj Finserv is a financial conglomerate present in the financing business (vehicle finance, consumer finance
and distribution) and is among the top players in the life insurance and general insurance segments. We expect
its subsidiary, BFL, to maintain its loan book trajectory as well as profitability and margins, which will be the key
support for present valuations of Bajaj Finserv. BAGIC is expected to continue its healthy operating metrics and
profitability going ahead, but near-term challenges are likely to keep profitably in a range. BALIC is focusing well
on strengthening its distribution channel and protection business but profitability metric will be dependent on the
pace and segment of new business growth.

Bank of Baroda  Bank of Baroda has a network of over 5,500+ branches, spread across the country and abroad, along with
a diversified products and services portfolio and strong client relationships. Performance in terms of business
growth as well as profitability and asset-quality improvement is gradual but in the desired direction. Two others
PSU banks are being merged with Bank of Baroda. Notwithstanding the synergies that will accrue over a longer
period, we believe near-term challenges in terms of asset quality and integration issues of merged entity may
mute medium-term performance.

EARNINGS GUIDE EQUITY FUNDAMENTALS

Bank of India  Bank of India has a network of over 5,000+ branches, spread across the country and abroad, along with a
diversified products and services portfolio. Operating performance and earnings had eroded due to a sharp rise
in NPAs. However, going forward, credit traction is expected to start gradually as the bank exits PCA framework.
There are pockets and segments that are undergoing significant stress, which can be exacerbated by the current
economic slowdown, if it persists. Moreover, the overhang of big-ticket infrastructure and corporate loans still
exists, which is likely to keep upside limited.

Federal Bank  Federal Bank is among the better-performing old private sector banks in India with a strong presence in south
India, especially Kerala. We believe the bank’s growth is in the desirable direction and the accompanying vectors
indicate sustainability and quality of the bank. Earnings and margins may continue to remain under pressure
mainly due to asset quality yet to attain its normalised credit cost run rate in the near term. Valuations seem
attractive over the medium to long term.

HDFC  HDFC Limited is among the top-performing housing finance companies in the country having deep roots in
the retail segment. Despite the general slowdown in credit growth, HDFC continues to report strong growth in
advances with stable margins. Aided by a strong business franchise, best-in-class credit ratings and impeccable
asset quality, HDFC is a safe bet with a scope for steady business growth-led value creation.

HDFC Bank  HDFC Bank is among the top performing banks in the country having deep roots in the retail segment. Despite the
general slowdown in credit growth, the bank continues to report strong growth in advances from retail products.
Relatively high margins (compared with its peers), strong branch network and better asset quality make HDFC
Bank a safe bet with a scope for expansion in its valuations.

ICICI Bank  ICICI Bank is India’s largest private sector bank with a network of over 4,882 branches. The bank has made
inroads in to retail loans (~60% of the book) and has significantly improved its liability franchise. We believe NPA
cycle peaking and uncertainty regarding top leadership behind, along with strong capital adequacy and a wide
branch network, the bank’s business will gather pace in the long run. However, we believe normalisation in
operating expenses and abatement of slippages can be positive levers for ROE and profitability in the medium
term. The bank appears to be well positioned to benefit from reduction in competitive intensity from NBFCs
and political stability is expected to gather pace in reforms such as IBC, which will be positive for recoveries/
resolutions and credit demand revival.

LIC Housing  LIC Housing Finance is one of the largest mortgage financiers in India with a market share of ~ 11%. The company
is promoted by Life Insurance Corporation of India. With over 282 branches, 1,241 direct sales agents, 6,535
home loan agents and 782 customer relationship associates, the company has one of the strongest distribution
networks to support business expansion. Though factors such as rising interest rates and a strong parent bode
well for the NBFC, we believe increasing competitive pressures may keep NIM range-bound in the near to
medium term. The overhang of rising developer book proportion, limited scope of ROA expansion, increasing
risk of delinquencies in the real estate segment and modest growth outlook indicate limited upsides for the stock
in the near term.

Max Financial Services  Max Life Insurance is held by Max Financial Services and is among the leading private sector insurers and has
gained critical mass and enjoys the best operating parameters in the industry. As the insurance sector is showing
signs of stability, the company’s favourable product mix and a strong distribution channel augur well and will help
sustain healthy growth in premiums and profits.

PNB  Punjab National Bank (PNB) has strong liability mixes in the banking space, with low-cost deposits constituting over
43% of its total deposits. PNB has done a significant amount of business and process enhancement/upgradation
to mitigate operational and credit risk after the fraud, yet asset-quality performance will be keenly monitored.
Further resolution/recovery in NCLT exposures as well as other corporate/infra exposures can be positive for the
bank. Risks of chunky slippages/haircuts are present in the near term.

EQUITY FUNDAMENTALS EARNINGS GUIDE

SBI  State Bank of India (SBI) is the largest bank of India. The successful merger of associate banks and value unlocking
from the insurance business could provide further upside for the bank. While the bank is favourably placed in
terms of liability base and the operating profit is better than peers, asset quality is also improving aided by strong
resolution/recoveries. PSU bank recapitalisation by the government would benefit the bank to make up for capital
requirements and promote growth. The bank is also well placed to gain market share as well as key clients.

Union Bank of India  Union Bank of India has a strong branch network and an all-India presence. The bank aspires to become the
largest retail and MSME bank. Hence, it has ramped up its manpower and infrastructure to ramp up retail and SME
lending. The bank’s asset-quality challenges have come to the fore (mainly from the corporate portfolio), whereas
weak capital position remains an area of concern.

Yes Bank  Yes Bank, a new generation private bank, started its operations in November 2004. Cleaning up of books with
a view to improve book quality and business mix is positive, but recent events indicate that the twin problems
of regulatory overhang and questions on near-term capital raising have returned for the bank. However, in the
backdrop of rating downgrades as well as concerns on governance issues resurfacing, we believe raising equity
capital for the bank becomes difficult once again. We believe the outlook has deteriorated meaningfully. Hence,
investor caution is warranted.

Consumer goods

Britannia  Britannia is one of the largest domestic biscuit and snacking company (gained No. 1 position in domestic biscuit
market, out beating Parle) with turnover over Rs. 10,000 crore. Under a new leadership, Britannia has been able to
leverage and monetize its strong brand and premium positioning in the biscuits and snacks segments (achieved
volume growth of 7% in Q4FY2019). The company is well placed to sustain its higher-than- industry growth rate
with an improving distribution reach, deep penetration in rural India, enhanced international business, entry into
newer categories and focus on cost efficiency.

Emami  Emami is one of the largest players in the domestic FMCG market with a strong presence in underpenetrated
categories such as cooling oil, antiseptic cream, balm and men’s fairness cream. The initiatives behind key
brands (such as Kesh King and Zandu Pancharishta) have started giving positive results for the company with
brands such as Kesh King and Boro Plus range delivering double-digit revenue growth in Q4FY2019. On the
margin front, management expects OPM to sustain at ~27% due to stringent cost-saving initiatives taken by the
company. Any substantial improvement in volume growth trajectory to 7-9% from the current 2-3% in the domestic
business would act as a key re-rating trigger for the stock. In view of near-term headwinds, we maintain our Hold
recommendation on the stock.

GSK Consumer  GSK Consumer Healthcare is a leading player in the malted food drinks (MFD) segment with ~70% share in
the domestic market. We expect volume growth to be in mid to high single digits in the near to medium term.
Though input prices have increased in the recent past, price hike of 3-4% in January-July 2019, better absorption
of overheads and cost efficiencies would lead to OPM at 22-23%. In December, GSK PLC exited from the Indian
nutrition business and sold 100% stake in GSK Consumer to HUL in an all-equity deal valued at Rs. 31,700 crore
(share exchange ratio is 4.39 shares of HUL for every share of GSK Consumer).. Business fundamentals of the
company have improved, which will result in better performance in the coming quarters. We maintain our Hold
recommendation on the stock.

GCPL  Godrej Consumer Products Limited (GCPL) is a major player in the personal wash, hair colour and household
insecticide market segments in India. Q1FY2020 was the ninth consecutive quarter of single-digit revenue growth
for GCPL with domestic and international business registering sub-par performance. Recovery in the domestic HI
category will take some time to come back to double-digit growth On the international front, Indonesia and GAUM
will see recovery in sales due to improvement in Indonesia’s HI segment and re- launch of Darling brand and

scale-up of Wet hair care in the east and west cluster. However, volatile currency will continue to affect margins.
The sustenance of lacklustre performance in some of the key categories in the domestic market (including HI)
remains a key concern in the near term. In view of near-term headwinds, we maintain our Hold recommendation
on the stock.

HUL  Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) is India’s largest FMCG company. HUL reported decent operating performance
with 6% volume growth in Q1FY2020 in the backdrop of a tough demand environment. We expect volume
growth to stand at 5-7% in the near term and expect it to improve gradually with improved demand environment.
This would result in 8-10% revenue growth in the coming quarters. The sharp decline in palm oil prices (down
by 20%+) along with steady volume growth would help post better operating margin in the coming quarters.
However, volatility in crude oil prices will play a key role in determining profitability in the coming quarters.
Further, the recent acquisition of GSK Consumers’ domestic health food business will scale up HUL’s food
business and will help it grow in double digits in the near to medium term. HUL remains one of our top picks in
the FMCG space.

ITC  Sales volume growth for the cigarette business stood at 3% in Q1FY2020. Though a price hike was undertaken
in 20% of its cigarette portfolio, there will not be any significant impact on sales volume as the premium portfolio
has not seen any changes in the price and the price hike in these brands was taken with a gap. Revenue of the
non-cigarette FMCG business is expected to grow in high single digits to low double digits in the near term as
the slowdown in demand is likely to persist in the near term. However, a higher scale will support the business’
overall margins in the medium term. We expect the company’s hotel business to also deliver strong performance
FY2020, with demand for rooms likely to exceed room supply. The paper, paperboard and packaging (PPP)
business will continue to post better profitability on account of a better revenue mix and benign input cost. With
performance of ITC expected to improve in the coming quarters, we expect the valuation gap to reduce. We
maintain our Buy recommendation on the stock.

Jyothy Labs  Jyothy Laboratories Limited (JLL) is the market leader in the fabric whitener segment in India. With a strong brand
portfolio in the fabric care and dishwashing space, JLL is well poised to achieve revenue growth in mid-teens in
the near to medium term. However, the HI category will take some time to recover. The company expects OPM
to sustain at 15-16% in FY2020. However, the company has intentions of doubling its advertisement expenditure
in FY2020. Thus, we expect slight deceleration in margins in FY2020. We have a Hold recommendation on the
stock. Any improvement in the performance of HI category will improve earnings visibility for JLL in the near
term.

Marico  Marico is among India’s leading FMCG companies. Core brands, Parachute and Saffola, have a strong foothold
in the market. Management expects volume growth to sustain at 5-6% in the near to medium term. The company
is going to invest in low-cost products in the VAHO segment to drive growth going ahead. Saffola edible oil has
started seeing recovery in sales volume and is expected to grow in mid-teens in the coming quarters. Probable
price cut due to sustained softening in copra prices would further improve the volume growth trajectory. Copra
prices (35-40% of Marico’s raw-material cost) are down by upwards of 30% and softening price trend would aid
margins to remain high on a y-o-y basis in the near to medium term. We maintain our Buy recommendation on
the stock.

Zydus Wellness  Zydus Wellness now has a product portfolio of brands such as EverYuth, Nutralite and Sugar Free along with
Glucon D and Complan post the acquisition of Heinz India. Zydus Wellness has a strong portfolio of leading
brands, which are largely placed in low-penetrated categories. The company posted strong results in Q1FY2020
with double-digit revenue growth, driven by 10% growth in the base portfolio and about 20% growth in Heinz
portfolio. OPM stood at 20% in Q1FY2020 and management is confident of improving the OPM trajectory to 22%
over the next two years. We have a Buy rating on the stock.

IT/IT services

HCL Tech  HCL Technologies has a leadership position in infrastructure management services (IMS) and engineering and
research and development (ERD) space, which together account for ~60% of the company’s total revenue. HCL
Tech has guided for 14-16% constant currency (CC) revenue growth for FY2020E, which includes contribution
from acquisition of IBM’s select products and full-year revenue from other acquisitions (Strong-Bridge Envision,
H&D International group and Actian Corporation). Organic revenue contribution to overall FY2020E revenue
growth is expected to be at 7-9% (6.5% y-o-y in FY2019), though it would be mostly back-ended. However, the
company has reduced its margin guidance by 100 BPS owing to soft EBIT margin in Q1FY2020E, transition costs
of large deal ramp-ups and higher investments in digital.

Infosys  Infosys is India’s premier IT and ITeS company that provides business consulting, technology, engineering and
outsourcing services. The company expects its pentagon agile digital service architecture would help to address
the client’s digital requirements. Further, management has set a three-year roadmap to achieve growth objectives
Infosys raised its FY2020E revenue growth guidance to 8.5-10.0% in CC terms from 7.5-9.5% earlier, better-than
our expectation of keeping guidance flat. Further, the company increased its payout ratio to 85% from 70% earlier.
With a healthy deal pipeline, continued strong large deal wins momentum and growth from large accounts, we
believe Infosys would deliver strong revenue growth in FY2020E.

Persistent  Persistent Systems has proven expertise, strong presence in newer technologies, strength to improve its IP
base and a decent margin profile, all of which set it apart from other mid-cap IT companies. PSL is focusing on
the development of Internet of Things (IoT) products and platforms, as it sees significant traction from industrial
machinery, SmartCity, healthcare and smart agriculture verticals. However, the company has been lagging its
peers in terms of revenue growth over FY2017-2019, owing to internal challenges including high dependence
on its large account, weak client franchise, change in sales model and high reliance on IBM sales to drive its IP
revenues. We believe revenue growth in FY2020E could lag the average growth rate of its mid-tier peers owing
to early days of investments in its strategies and change in senior leaderships. Reasonable valuation, high cash
and cash equivalents (31% of market capitalisation) are expected to provide downside support to the stock price.

TCS  Tata Consultancy Services is among the pioneers of the IT services outsourcing business in India and is the largest
IT services firm in the country. Management of TCS has alluded at continuing of growth momentum in FY2020E,
despite witnessing macro challenges in the environment, led by a strong exit rate in FY2019, acceleration in
deal wins with increasing TCVs, continued strong performance in BFSI vertical and robust pipeline of deals.
Management remains confident on demand environment and maintains its aspirational margin band of 26-28%
for FY 2020E despite lack of skilled personnel and visa challenges in the US.

Wipro  Wipro is among the top five IT companies in India. Revenue growth guidance of 0-2% in CC terms for September
2019 quarter was below our expectation. We expect revenue growth in FY2020E could be lower than underlying
revenue growth of Fy2019 owing to its high exposure to the impacted segments of financial services, viz. capital
markets and European banks. With inconsistent execution along with macro uncertainties, underperformance on
revenue growth among large peers will likely continue.

Capital goods/Power

CESC  CESC, an RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group company, is a fully integrated power utility company. The company has stable
earnings contribution from standalone operations with regulated power generation and distribution businesses
getting assured RoE of 15.5% on generation assets and 16.5% for distribution assets. Reducing loss at Dhariwal
Infrastructure and Rajasthan distribution franchisee makes CESC an attractive investment proposition. The
demerger of non-power business to separate companies could result into re-rating of CESC.

Finolex Cables  Finolex Cables, a leading manufacturer of power and communications cables, is set to benefit from an improving
demand environment in its core business of cables. The company is leveraging its brand strength to build a
high-margin consumer product business although scaling up the business would be gradual. The company faces

August 2019 47 Sharekhan ValueGuide


EARNINGS GUIDE EQUITY FUNDAMENTALS

near-term headwinds due to delay of order finalisation in the communication cables business segment along
with delay in scaling-up the consumer durable business. We have a Hold rating on the stock due to near-term
challenges in its key business vertical.

Greaves Cotton  Greaves Cotton Limited (GCL) is a mid-sized and well-diversified engineering company. Core competencies of
the company are in diesel/petrol engines, power gensets, agro engines and pump sets (engine segment). Three-
wheeler (3W) engines that fetch about 40% of revenue for GCL are predominantly diesel and are facing severe
headwinds, which would restrict growth. With increasing pollution, the government is encouraging use of CNG-
powered 3W and has recently lifted need of permits for CNG vehicles. CNG-powered 3W are fast gaining share,
primarily at the expense of the diesel three-wheeler segment. Non-auto and aftermarket business along with new
business of electric 2w and CNG engines is gaining traction. The Electric two-wheeler segment is expected to be
under stress due to stringent norms for electric scooters under the revised FAME 2 scheme and weak sentiment
in rural areas. Further the new businesses are margin dilutive and the cost of upgrading to the new BS6 emission
norms is around 10-12%. Following this we expect GCL’s margins to remain under pressure and decline 40 BPS in
FY2021. Moreover, the company has announced a buyback offer and plans to utilize its cash balance, resulting
a lower other income. We expect GCL’s earnings to remain flat over the next 2 years. However, the buyback
program would enhance the company’s ROE from 18.5% now to 22% by FY2020 and expect the program to
support the prices in the near term. We retain our Hold recommendation on the stock.

Kalpataru  Kalpataru Power Transmission is a leading EPC player in the power transmission and distribution space in India.
Opportunities in this space are likely to grow significantly, thereby providing healthy growth visibility. OPM of the
standalone business is likely to remain around 11%, while OPM of JMC Projects (a subsidiary) is showing signs of
improvement. Order book remains healthy, providing two years of revenue visibility. Further, acquisition of the
Swedish EPC company, Linjemontage i Grastorp AB, bodes well for Kalpataru, providing deeper access to KPTL
in international markets. We remain Positive on the stock.

KEC  KEC International is a Global Power Transmission Infrastructure EPC major. The company is present in the verticals
of power T&D, cables, railways, water, renewable (solar energy) and civil. Globally, the company has powered
infrastructure development in more than 61 countries. KEC is a leader in power transmission EPC projects and has
more than seven decades of experience. Over the years, it has grown through the organic as well as inorganic
route. Order book remains strong, providing two-year revenue visibility; and order inflow visibility remains healthy
in international T&D and railways. We retain our Positive outlook on the stock.

PTC India  PTC is a pioneer in starting a power market in India and undertakes trading activities, including long-term trading
of power generated from large power projects as well as short-term trading arising as a result of supply and
demand mismatches, which inevitably arise in various regions of the country. Management anticipates volume
growth of 10%+ and volume mix of 50:50 during FY2020. Management also contemplates that it wants the
company to post earnings of Rs. 1 crore per day and is working towards this goal. The company is expected to
witness double-digit earnings CAGR over FY2019-FY2021E.

Thermax  The energy and environment businesses of Thermax are direct beneficiaries of the continuous rise in India Inc’s
capex. The company has a healthy consolidated order backlog at Rs. 5,370 crore, which is 0.9x its FY2019
consolidated revenue. Management expects weakness in domestic tendering activity to persist at least during
H1FY2019 as the new government stabilises. Overall, management would strive to maintain the same order inflow
for FY2020 as witnessed in FY2019. Consequently, consolidated revenue for FY2020 might see just lower single-
digit growth followed by higher growth during FY2021. We maintain our Hold rating on the stock.

Triveni Turbines  Triveni Turbines Limited (TTL) is a market leader in 0-30 MW steam turbine segment. TTL order book remains
healthy and is witnessing steady execution for its ongoing orders. Preponed deliveries of some products and better
execution of orders with improvement in operating profit margin drove up net earnings. The overall performance
of GETL for the period under review has been significantly better, especially in terms of revenue. Enquiry pipeline

remains healthy although fructifying of the same remains to be seen in a weak macro environment. TTL is virtually
a debt-free company with limited capex requirement and an efficient working capital cycle, reflected in healthy
return ratios. Although management is confident of double- digit revenue growth, healthy order inflow for FY2020
and margin recovery, we have conservatively built these in our estimates. Revenue and PAT are expected to
report CAGR of 12% and 16%, respectively. We maintain our Hold rating on the stock.

V-Guard  V-Guard Industries is an established brand in the electrical and household goods space, particularly in South India.
Over the years, it has successfully ramped up its operations and network to become a multi-product company.
The company has a strong presence in the southern region. The company is also aggressively expanding in
non-south markets and is particularly focusing on tier-II and III cities where there is lot of pent- up demand for
its products. Management is targeting to grow its overall revenue by 12-15% y-o-y in FY2020 (with enhanced
focus on non-south region with addition of 60-70% retail count of overall 3500-4000 per annum). and 100
BPS improvement in gross margin (led by product mix and price increase). V-Guard’s focus areas remains on
increasing non-south presence, expansion into adjacencies and improving efficiencies. Strong cash position may
lead to inorganic expansion at favourable valuations, considering weak environment. We believe V-Guard is on a
strong growth trajectory, hence, we upgrade the stock to Buy.

Va Tech Wabag  VaTech Wabag is known for its innovative and successful solutions in the water engineering sector around the
globe. The company is a systems specialist and full-service provider focusing on the planning, installation and
operations of drinking and wastewater plants for local government and industry in the growth markets of Asia,
North Africa, Middle East and Central and Eastern Europe. Management has provided revenue guidance of Rs.
34 billion-37 billion and order intake of Rs. 50 billion-54 billion for FY2020. The cumulative order book stood at
Rs. 9,200 crore at the end of FY2019, including framework contracts worth Rs. 700 crore. Timely execution and
reduction in working capital a key challenge. Hence, we maintain our Hold rating on the stock.

Infrastructure/Real estate

IRB Infra  IRB Infrastructure Developers is the largest toll road BOT player in India and the second largest BOT operator
in the country with all its projects being toll-based. The company has an integrated business model with an in-
house construction arm, which provides a competitive advantage in bidding for larger projects and captures
the entire value from BOT assets. Further, the company has a profitable portfolio as majority of its operational
projects have become debt-free and are present in high-growth corridors, providing it a healthy cash flow. Thus,
the company is well poised to benefit from the huge opportunity in road development projects on account of
its proven execution capabilities and scale of operations. Further, the company has a 15% stake in its InvIT fund,
which allows it to periodically transfer road assets freeing up its equity to invest in future projects. The recent deal
with GIC provides IRB with an unlisted private InvIT vehicle to transfer future projects, lower equity requirement
for projects and a strong financial partner to bid for more and larger projects going ahead.

L&T  Larsen & Toubro (L&T), being the largest engineering and construction company in India, is a direct beneficiary of
the domestic infrastructure capex cycle. The company is expected to perform well, backed by its sound execution
track record and healthy order book. Monetisation of the non-core businesses will continue for some time, leaving
scope for further value unlocking. Measures planned by the company to improve its return ratios augur well.
Hence, we remain Positive on the stock.

Sadbhav Eng  SEL is engaged in 1) EPC business for transport, mining and irrigation sectors and 2) development of roads and
highways on BOT basis through SIPL. SEL has a healthy order book of Rs. 11,981 crore (3.4x its FY2019 standalone
revenue) The company has robust in-house integrated execution capabilities with qualified human resource and
owned equipment. We expect SEL to benefit from improved order execution, enhanced order inflows (particularly
from the transport segment) and resolution of working capital issues, resulting in a sturdier balance sheet. Further,
improving outlook for the Indian road sector and limited competitive intensity augur well for SEL since it is present
in both, asset creation and EPC verticals.

Oil & Gas

Oil India  Oil India has several hydrocarbon discoveries across reserves in Rajasthan and the northeastern region of India.
The company holds domestic 2P (proved and probable) reserves of 76 mmt for oil and 130 bcm for gas. Reserve-
replacement ratio of the company is also healthy. The stock offers high dividend yield.

Petronet LNG  Petronet LNG is the largest LNG re-gasifier in India with 17.5 mmt LNG terminal at Dahej and 5 mmt LNG terminal
at Kochi. The company’s Dahej terminal enjoys a competitive edge compared to other LNG import terminals given
its low tariff and long-term contracted volume with use or pay clause. We expect Dahej terminal to operate at
100% utilisation, given its competitive edge and resolution of pipeline connectivity issues in southern India are
expected to improve utilisation for Kochi terminal. Petronet LNG would be the key beneficiary of rising share of
LNG in India’s overall gas consumption.

Reliance Industries  Reliance Industries has one of the largest and complex refining businesses in India and enjoys a substantially
higher refining margin over the benchmark Singapore Complex GRM. We expect GRM to recover with ramp-up of
petcoke gasification project and implementation of IMO regulations. Petrochem margin likely to be maintained in
the medium term given feedstock advantage from ethane import project. Large investment in Reliance Jio could
add value in the long term. Deleveraging of consolidated balance sheet is a key trigger in the near to medium
term.

Selan Exploration  Selan Exploration Technology is an oil E&P company with five oil fields in the oil-rich Cambay basin of Gujarat.
Initiatives to monetise oil reserves in its Bakrol and Lohar oil fields will improve production. However, challenges
related to monetisation of its large hydrocarbon reserve base and near-term production ramp-up issues are likely
to be an overhang on the stock in the near to medium term.

Pharmaceuticals

Aurobindo Pharma  A Warning Letter has been issued to Aurobindo for its Unit-XI, an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) unit in
Srikakulam, one of the three plants that received Official Action Indicated (OAI) status in May 2019. The letter
mainly pertains to the ongoing issues regarding impurities in Sartan’s. The company proposes to enter into
dialogue with the U.S. FDA over the next 15–20 days to decide a future course of action. From Unit XI, the
company has ~28 filings that await approval, the delay of which may negatively impact performance ahead.
Moreover, the remediation and site transfer-related costs are likely to put the company’s near-term margins under
pressure. The uncertainty related to regulatory hurdles at various units will weigh on the stock (until resolved
successfully). Thus, we downgrade our recommendation to Hold with a downward revised PT of Rs. 710.

Cadila  U.S. business outlook remains stable because of new product approvals and launches planned for FY2020.
Management expects ~35+ approvals and 35-40 launches in the U.S. for FY2020 (excluding approvals and
launches from Moraiya facility as it has received Form 483 in March 2019). Moreover, India business is likely
to report low double-digit growth from FY2020 despite new product launches and rationalisation of product
portfolio. We feel that although Cadila has a big ANDA pipeline and strong control on expenses, its domestic
business lacks its peers in terms of growth. Further, concentration on key markets such as U.S. and India is a risk.
In addition, regulatory hurdles at Moraiya facility continue to remain an overhang for the near term.

Cipla  Current valuation seems to have mostly priced in the slowdown in the India branded business and increased
competition in the US despite limited launches by competitors. The stock has corrected by ~25% from its high
and is currently trading at 14.4x its FY2021E earnings. Also, we feel that unlike its larger peers, company has
limited regulatory woes with the USFDA at its key facilities. Improving product mix, increase in capacity utilisation
and operational efficiencies will play out well in the next two years improving its operating margins and in turn,
profitability. We expect the company to report sales and profit CAGR of 14% and 40%, respectively, over FY2019-
FY2021E.

Divis Labs  Management has guided for sales growth of 15% in FY2020 with operating margin likely to return to 38-39%
as business normalises. However, it expects sales growth to accelerate to more than 20% once new capacities
come on stream. Management has increased its capex guidance from Rs. 1,500 crore to Rs. 1,690 crore to
address increasing opportunities in the generics and custom synthesis businesses. We expect all the capex to be
completed by FY2020. A better product mix and capacity utilisation will boost profitability (capacity enhancement
benefits to be visible from FY2021). Moreover, the company does not have any pending regulatory hurdles. Long-
term growth is likely to remain healthy, led by aggressive capacity expansion plans to monetise opportunities in
the U.S. and China.

Glenmark Pharma  For FY2020, management has guided for overall 10-15% sales growth. Management is confident of double-digit
growth in the domestic as well as other key markets on account of new launches as well as key approvals. In the
U.S., the company expects competition to increase in its key product Mupirocin (from Q4FY2020 or Q1FY2021).
However, the company is confident of 100-200 BPS improvement in its operating margin from FY2020 on account
of operational efficiencies, lower staff and R&D costs (FY2019 OPM stood at 16.1%). The company does not have
any pending regulatory issues on its key facility - Goa (Goa plant has received EIR recently). However, we feel
reducing the debt significantly (in the next two years), without an out-licensing deal/asset monetising, is an uphill
task. Lack of avenues for significant debt reduction in books over the next two years and overall concerns on U.S.
business keep us skeptical on the stock’s performance.

IPCA Lab  Strong growth in the domestic formulation business coupled with increased opportunities in API space and
additional business from institutional anti-malaria segment indicates a strong earnings potential over the next
2-3 years. For FY2020, management has conservatively guided for 12-14% sales growth and OPM guidance is
strong 20-23% (FY2019 OPM was at 18.3%). Improvement in OPM is likely to be on account of low remedial costs
(Rs. 10 crore-20 crore in FY2020 vs. Rs. 50 crore in FY2019), improved product mix coupled with operational
efficiencies. We feel most of the headwinds that impacted sales and profitability of the company (except for
import alert from USFDA) are behind.

Lupin  Lupin’s management has guided for 20+ product launches in the U.S. for FY2020E. However, a majority of
them are yet to be approved. Management is hoping that remediation and successful resolution of four plants
(two under Warning Letter and two have Official Action Indicated - OAI status) would take place in FY2020E.
Since there are four facilities facing regulatory issues, we expect the U.S. business sales recovery to take time.
Moreover, the recent news of U.S. lawsuit case against Indian generic drug makers, an overhang of uncertainty
of the outcome of litigation, is weighing on the entire pharma sector in the near to medium term.

Sun Pharma  Sun Pharma continues to invest significantly for building a specialty franchise in the U.S., which is slowly gaining
traction. The company stated that Ilumya has started gaining traction and Cequa launch is expected in the
upcoming months in the U.S. Management’s guidance for FY2020 is as follows: 1) Sales to grow at low-to-mid-
digit teens (on reported FY2019 sales number); 2) R&D to be at 8-9%; 3) Capex to be $200 million for FY2020; and
4) Tax rate to increase progressively in the upcoming years. With better product mix and cost-control measures,
management expects margin expansion over the next two years. However, the outcome of investigation related
to pricing issues taken up by DoJ (Dept. of Justice, USA) and that of SEBI investigation will continue to weigh on
the stock.

Torrent Pharma  Recently, the company’s Dahej plant was classified as Official Action Indicated (OAI) by the USFDA. An OAI status
does not impact the existing operations. However, new product approvals could get delayed. The management
awaits further detailed interaction with USFDA to resolve the issue satisfactorily. No new approvals have been
granted to the company during the quarter. The management has also stated that if there is delay in resolution,
US business growth for FY2020 will be flat, but could hurt FY2021 growth.

Building materials

Grasim  Grasim is better placed compared to other large players in the cement space owing to its strong balance
sheet, comfortable debt/equity ratio, attractive valuation and diversified business. Grasim is on a strong growth
trajectory, with ongoing restructuring through trimming down its loss-making businesses (fertiliser and telecom)
and expanding its profit-making divisions (viscose, chemical and cement). Better earnings growth would also
significantly improve return ratios at a consolidated level and trigger rerating of the stock.

The Ramco Cements  The Ramco Cements, one of the most cost-efficient cement producers in India, will benefit from capacity addition
carried out ahead of its peers in the southern region. Ramco Cements has embarked upon capital expenditure
plan of Rs. 3,430 crore to reach cement capacity of 20 MTPA by FY2020 end. The expansion aims to strengthen
reach in Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal and North Eastern states. The company has reaped the benefits through
cost- saving measures, besides constantly reducing debt, which has led to improved profitability. In a nutshell,
better volumes, cost efficiencies and reducing leverage have yielded benefits.

Shree Cement  The expansion plan of Shree Cement to reach 45 mtpa by FY2021 (currently 37.5 mtpa) and increasing
geographical footprint in the eastern and southern regions are likely to aid better volume growth going ahead.
The company’s focus to increase share of trade sales should help improve realisation. However, increased cost
structure affecting operating margins remains key risk to net earnings in the near term.

UltraTech Cement  UltraTech Cement is India’s largest cement company. We expect UltraTech to report industry-leading volume
growth on account of timely capacity expansion (acquisition of Jaypee Group’s cement assets, Century’s assets
and Binani Cement’s assets) and likely revival in demand (with the start of affordable housing projects and
enhanced spending on infrastructure development).

Discretionary consumption

Arvind  Arvind demerged into three separate entities of Arvind (textile business), Arvind Fashion (branded and retail
business) and Anup Engineering (engineering business) with an aim to unlock value for shareholders. Post the
demerger, Arvind becomes a textile hub present in segments such as denim, fabric, garments and advanced
material (AMD). Revenue performance was muted in FY2019 mainly on account of lower volumes in the denim
business that was affected due to inventory corrections done by some export customers. Further, margins were
flat y-o-y owing to lower sales volume in the textile business and volatile cotton prices. Denim volumes are
expected to remain under pressure for another 6-9 months, which will continue to put pressure on the textile
business. Volumes for the woven segment are expected to increase by 3-5% and the garments segment is
expected to grow in high double digits, driven by capacity enhancement. Overall, we expect revenue to grow
by 6.5% in FY2020 (the management has guided for topline growth of 7-8%). OPM would remain under stress in
H1FY2020 due to losses in new garment facilities on lower efficiencies and muted sales volumes in the textile
business. Thus, in view of near-term concerns on profitability, we maintain our Hold recommendation on the
stock.

Arvind Fashions  Arvind Fashions Limited (AFL), the demerged entity of Arvind Limited, is a leading branded apparel company with
impressive brand portfolio and strong distribution reach. The shift in trade channels of power brands, closure
of non-profitable stores of Unlimited, exit from non-profitable emerging and slowdown in consumption due to
macro headwinds will take a toll on AFL’s Q1FY2020 revenue performance. In the backdrop of stable macro
environment, the performance is expected to gradually improve from Q2FY2020; and H2FY2020 is likely to be
better with the commencement of the festive season. Profitability of the emerging brands is likely to improve,
which will scale up in the brand’s revenue. We maintain our Buy recommendation on the stock.

Century Plyboards  Century Plyboards is a leading player in the organised plywood industry with a market share of 25%.It also has
laminate, particle board and Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) division having a capacity of 600 cubic metre
per day. The company is currently facing operating margin pressure in its Plyboard and MDF verticals, which are
expected to cap growth in operating margin over the next 3-4 quarters. Consequently, we have a Hold rating

on the stock. However structural growth triggers in terms of GST benefits and government’s focus on affordable
housing are key positive triggers for the company.

Info Edge (India)  Info Edge is India’s premier online classified company in the recruitment, matrimony, real estate, education and
related service sectors. Naukri.com is a quality play and is directly related to GDP growth and internet/mobile
penetration. Management highlighted that accelerated investments in its core businesses will continue to gain
market share along with acquiring more customers. Further, its investee companies, particularly Zomato and
PolicyBazaar, have been progressing well in their respective businesses. We continue to derive comfort on Info
Edge’s business strength, with leading market share in key businesses.

INOX Leisure  Inox Leisure Limited (ILL), incorporated in 1999, is one of the largest multiplex operators in India. ILL currently
operates 143 properties (595 screens and over 1.40 lakh seats) located in 67 cities across India. ILL is the
only multiplex operator having such a diverse presence across India. The company accounts for 19% share of
multiplex screens in India and ~11% share of domestic box office collections. The company has aggressively
scaled up through organic and inorganic expansion over the past decade, growing from two properties – eight
screens – in FY2003 to 143 properties – 595 screens – at present, on an average adding eight screens every
quarter since inception. The ILL mega show is supported by improving content quality in the Indian mainstream
and regional cinema, with its movies regularly hitting the Rs. 100 crore or Rs. 200 crore box-office collection mark.
Management expects to deliver a strong performance going forward based on healthy footfalls due to property
additions coupled with passing on of reduction of GST rates and a strong content pipeline. We maintain our Buy
rating.

KKCL  Kewal Kiran Clothing Limited (KKCL) is a branded apparel play with four brands in its kitty. Killer, its flagship denim
brand, has created a niche in the minds of consumers. Q4FY2019 revenue grew strongly due to volume- driven
growth during the festive season, but the dip in realisation continued. Slowdown in the domestic consumption
market will keep a check on KKCL’s revenue growth in FY2020. Hence, any improvement in volume growth in
the coming quarters will be a key thing to watch out for. KKCL does not want to compromise on margins and
has maintained the target of achieving OPM at above 20% for FY2020. As far as volumes are concerned, there
has been a volatility seen in the past few quarters. Though KKCL has a strong brand portfolio and is one of
the well- managed companies with stable working capital in comparison to peers in the branded retail space,
the key trigger for the company in the near term would be consistent volume growth. We maintain our Hold
recommendation on the stock.

Orbit Exports  Orbit Exports (Orbit) is a leading manufacturer and exporter of novelty fabrics, exporting its products to over
32 countries. The company is a recognised star export house and operates in the niche area of high-end fancy
fabrics, which are mainly used by designers in women’s fashion apparels. Further, Orbit has one of the better
balance sheets in the textiles industry. We expect it to improve further in the coming years. However, in view of
near-term concerns in export markets, we maintain our Hold rating on the stock.

Relaxo Footwear  Relaxo Footwear (Relaxo) is present in the fast-growing footwear category, where it caters to customers with
its four top-of- the-mind recall brands, such as Hawaii, Sparx, Flite and Schoolmate. Relaxo’s focus is on driving
sales through distribution expansion (COCO and franchisee stores) and improving the brand presence. GST
implementation has been a silver lining for the company, as it is witnessing a gradual shift of demand from the
unorganised to organised market. Input cost pressure is likely to soften going ahead, with OPM expected to stand
at 14-15%. Further, focus on strong distribution enhancement (especially in South India) and expected high growth
in premium categories (due to reduction in GST rate) make Relaxo one of our preferred picks in the discretionary
consumption space.

Titan Company  Titan is India’s largest specialty retail player, operating more than 1,600 stores spread across over 2 million sq. ft. in
279 towns having businesses in jewellery, watches and eyewear. Revenue of Titan’s jewellery business reported
a CAGR of 23% over FY2016-FY2019. Sustained launch of new collection, expansion in domestic footprint, shift

of consumers to trusted brands and strong growth in diamond jewellery remain the key pillars of growth. The
target is to achieve 2.5x sales and grab market share of 10% by FY2023. In the eyewear business, Titan’s focus
is to build a strong customer base through a calibrated expansion plan and offer products at affordable prices.
An increase in scale of the watches and eyewear businesses along with expansion into tier II and tier III markets
and continuous shift from non-branded to branded jewellery players is expected to drive up margin going ahead.
With a lean balance sheet and strong financial background, Titan is one of the best retail plays amongst peers.
Titan is well placed to achieve double-digit revenue and earnings CAGR of 16.5% and 17.5%, respectively, during
FY2018-FY2021.

Wonderla Holidays  Wonderla Holidays Limited (WHL) is the largest amusement park company in India with over a decade of
successful and profitable operations. Q4FY2019 witnessed a 7% growth in the footfalls of WHL. The Kochi Park
has also started regaining momentum in the footfalls post Q2FY2019 miss due to torrential rains and floods in
Kerala We expect footfalls to recover in FY2020 gradually, which would result in double-digit revenue growth
during the year. Improvement in footfalls and higher ticketing revenue would result in better profitability and
OPM is expected to improve in the coming years. The company has acquired 61.87 acres of land for the new
amusement park project in Kelambakkam in Chennai. The project will commence post the receipt of the required
approvals from Tamil Nadu Government. The sustenance of growth in footfalls has to be keenly monitored in the
coming quarters. Hence, we maintain our Hold recommendation on the stock.

Zee Entertainment  Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited (ZEEL), part of the Essel Group, is one of India’s leading television media
and entertainment companies. The company has a bouquet of more than 40 channels across Hindi, regional,
sports and lifestyle genres. ZEEL agreed with Invesco Oppenheimer Developing Market Fund to sell upto 11%
stake in ZEEL for Rs. 4,224 crore, implying price of around Rs. 400/share. This transaction will provide a financial
fillip to initiate the repayment process of promoter level debt. We believe the street may be upset with ZEEL’s
decision to go with the financial investor rather than a strategic investor who can take the company to the next
level. However, the deal provides relief to the promoters’ liquidity concern to some extent, but the overhang
remains till the finalisation of other assets’ sale by the end of September 2019. Hence, we maintain our Hold rating
on the stock.

Diversified/Miscellaneous

Bajaj Holdings  Bajaj Holdings and Investment Limited (BHIL, erstwhile Bajaj Auto) was demerged in December 2007, whereby its
manufacturing business was transferred to the new Bajaj Auto Limited (BAL) and its strategic business consisting
of the wind farm and financial services businesses was vested with Bajaj FinServ (BFS). All the businesses and
properties, assets, investments and liabilities of erstwhile Bajaj Auto, other than the manufacturing and strategic
ones, now remain with BHIL. BHIL is a primary investment company focusing on new business opportunities.
Given the strategic nature of its investments (namely BAL and BFL), we have given a holding company discount
to its equity investments. Liquid investments have been valued at cost. The PT for BFS has been revised upwards.
We expect BFL to maintain its loan book trajectory as well as profitability and margins for the medium term, which
will be the key support for present valuations of BFS. We retain our Buy recommendation on the stock of BHIL.

Bharat Electronics Bharat Electronics Limited, a defence PSU, remains our preferred pick in the domestic defence sector on account
of its strong manufacturing and R&D capabilities, good cost-control measures, growing indigenisation and a strong
balance sheet with improving return ratios. Further, the company is well positioned to capture incremental spends
by the government on defence through the Make-in-India initiative. A robust order book of Rs. 51,715 crore (at 4.3x
of FY2019 revenue) provides strong revenue and earnings visibility. However, order intake remained moderate
at Rs. 1,985 crore, down 44.6% y-o-y (down 71.4% q-o-q). Though order intake was weak in Q1, management is
hopeful of bagging Akash Missile System (7 Sqdn) order in FY2020, which is expected to boost overall order
intake for the fiscal. Given strong order book and expectation of healthy order intake pipeline, we maintain our
Buy rating on the stock.

EQUITY FUNDAMENTALS EARNINGS GUIDE

Bharti Airtel  Bharti Airtel (Bharti) is one of the leaders in the Indian mobile telephony space. The management continues to
focus sharply on increasing retail ARPUs, non-mobile services (enterprise services) and value- added services
(Airtel TV and music) to boost revenue and reduce the churn rate. Further, management indicated that it expects
moderation in capex in FY2020E after heavy investments in building a strong portfolio of sites and spectrums for
the past couple of years. Any positive surprise from easing competition would act as a re-rating trigger for the
stock. From a long-term perspective, explosive growth in the data segment, rapid network expansion and reach
will help Bharti emerge stronger. We have a Buy rating on the stock.

GDL  With its dominant presence in container freight station (CFS), rail freight and cold chain businesses, Gateway
Distriparks Limited (GDL) has evolved as an integrated logistics player. it’s the CFS and rail verticals are facing a
tough business environment owing to intensive competition. The cold chain business has shown improvement in
operating margins and is currently under expansion. However, key positive triggers such as the dedicated freight
corridor (DFC) and improvement in export-import trade environment are still far. Hence, owing to absence of near-
term triggers, we have a Hold rating on the stock.

PI Industries  Incorporated in 1947, PI Industries focuses on developing complex chemistry solutions in the agri-science space.
The company reported strong performance with revenue, EBITDA and PAT surging by 24.5%, 28.4% and 23.6%
y-o-y, respectively, during Q1FY2020. Management reiterated its growth guidance of more than 20% on the
revenue front and 50-100 BPS margin expansion at the operating level. We expect the company to post revenue
and earnings CAGR of 20.6% and 31.1% over FY2019-FY2021E, respectively. With industry-leading return ratios
coupled with a healthy balance sheet and strong earnings visibility, we expect further re-rating in the stock. We
maintain our Buy rating on PI Industries.

Ratnamani Metals  Ratnamani Metals and Tubes Limited (RMTL) is the largest stainless steel tube and pipe manufacturer in India.
We remain positive on RMTL, led by its strong balance sheet, ability to generate superior return ratios and
capacity expansion programmes. Further, overall capex revival in its key industries such as oil and gas coupled
with improving orders from international markets will keep order momentum strong over the next 3-4 years.
Management has provided growth guidance of 10-12% both on the revenue and PAT front for FY2020. We have
introduced FY2021 estimates and expect the company to report revenue and earnings CAGR of 11.1% and 9.4%
during FY2019-FY2021E, respectively. We believe the stock remains a good bet for investment in the long run.
Hence, we maintain our Buy rating on the stock.

Supreme Industries  Supreme Industries is a leading manufacturer of plastic products with a significant presence across the piping,
packaging, industrial and consumer segments. Management has provided FY2020E revenue growth guidance
of 12-15% in value terms, while volume growth guidance remained at 8-10%. Volume growth would be driven
by healthy demand in the plastic piping system on account of ‘Nal Se Jal’ scheme and multiple initiatives by
the government. Management expects margin recovery going ahead because of better product mix and lower
contribution from low-margin agri-piping in the coming quarters and has provided FY2020E margin guidance
band of 13.5-14.5%. We retain our Hold rating on the stock.

UPL  UPL is better placed to benefit from a global recovery in the agri-commodity space over the next 2-3 years.
UPL reported revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted PAT growth of 91%, 107% and 29% on a y-o-y basis (not
comparable), respectively; however, it delivered 7% y-o-y and 11% y-o-y revenue and EBITDA growth, respectively,
on like-to-like basis during Q1FY2020. Arysta’s integration is progressing well; achieves revenue and cost
synergies of US$20 million and US$18.6 million during Q1FY2020. Management has reiterated its guidance for
FY2020E of revenue growth of 8-10% and EBITDA growth of 16-20% base revenue and EBITDA of Rs. 32,500
crore and Rs. 6,900 crore, respectively. We downgrade our rating on UPL to Hold with a revised PT of Rs. 656
based on potential headwinds due to global weakness in the agro chemical industry as UPL has significant
presence across the globe.
