Reliance Communications
Growth Undervalued; Re-iterate Buy

# New TP of Rs260. We have trimmed our EBITDA estimates by
1.0-1.5% and raised medium-term capex forecasts by 10-15%. Our
revised DCF-based Dec ’09 TP is Rs260 vs. Rs275 (Sep ’09)
previously. At 6.0x FY10e EV/EBITDA, we believe RCOM is
attractively valued, given the 17% EBITDA CAGR over FY10e-12e.

# Revenue growth recovery imminent; margins to hold. We
forecast 24% wireless rev CAGR in FY09-11e vs. 15% in FY09e
led by GSM expansion. Despite the build-up of a huge operating
leverage (pre-booking of GSM network costs), we assume another
100-bp erosion in wireless EBITDA margin. Nonetheless, consol.
EBITDA margin should hold at ~40% (40.2% in 3Q) in our view.

Gas delay hurts more than crude cut


Event
We have revised our earnings forecasts to take account of actual prices in
2008 and changes to our oil price forecast for 2009 onwards. We have also
factored in the delay in the KG-D6 gas production and now expect commercial
sales of gas to start in April 2009 (previous expectation January 2009).

Impact
Cut in estimates. The delay in gas production and the cut to oil price forecast
result in an 8% and 6% cut to our FY09 and FY10 earnings forecasts,
respectively. RIL’s proposed gas price of US$4.2/mmbtu translates to an oil
equivalent price of US$25/boe. As this is significantly below the current oil
price and our forecast oil price, we do not envisage a cut in RIL’s gas prices.
Our cashflow estimates are reduced by 8% and 4% for FY09E and FY10E,
respectively. RIL should achieve a net cash position by FY12E.
We are also cutting our PAT estimates for 3Q FY09E to Rs36bn (-8% YoY), as
we believe that refining production has been lower than our earlier estimates.

>Currency Corner (ANAGRAM)

Thursday, dollar’s retreat against the odds and mixed tone against crosses poised for USDINR (feb) contract for soft opening. Further, bullish cues of renewed recovery in Asian stocks weighted onto higher opening at local equity front, which to some extent prevented rupees’s momentary fall. Unclear clues for currency refrained participants to trade either side as USDINR traded choppy mainly in narrow range of 48.84 - 49.00. However, pumping of dollar demand from oil importers facing month month end import commitments with weak shares adding to the gloom showed sudden spike in dollar as it moved higher briefly amid touching an intraday high of 49.12, while closing the daily at 49.10. Technically speaking, the pair find residual bids above 49.05 though it was believe that they may not be especially sizeable. But cross over above 49.15, at this juncture of consolidating phase might expose to previous tops 49.26 and 49.41. While downside looks limited as USDINR has strong support at 48.92. For any bearish crossover, deep cut below is crucial for a bearish outcome.

# The awful and sharp downward revision of world growth to 0.5% by the IMF casted
gloom once again on the global equities and the world market went for tailspin. We
expect Indian markets to open weak however the smooth settlement of January
series on Thursday gives indication that market have a strong base around 2700
level.
# We suggest to play safe as markets are still undergoing the deleveraging phase and
vulnerable to any negative. However buying large caps in small quantity at sharp

>Debtshell (RELIGARE)

RBI's interest rate review left the key rates unchanged on Tuesday. RBI's
bond auction calendar indicates a total borrowing of Rs. 250 bn up to
March 2009. The announcement on the government borrowings during
this fiscal year pushed up the bond yields higher. The benchmark 10-year
GSec bond yield ended at 5.96%, higher from the previous close of 5.72%
on Friday. The call money rates stood at 4.1-4.2% on Tuesday close to the Saturday's
level of 4.15-4.25%. Ample liquidity has ensured that the call rates move
in line with the Repo rate.
The Indian equity markets staged a sharp gain of 329 points or 3.8% on
the back of stronger global cues. The rupee surged to 48.95/$,
appreciating from the 49.27-29/$ level on Friday.
The Crude ended lower on Tuesday trading close to $42/bbl on the back of
high inventory levels and lower demand. Lack of change in the
fundamentals of the economy pulled down the crude despite the recent
output cuts brought into effect by OPEC.

Markets are likely to remain in the positive territory taking cues from the
global markets; this has been also reflected in the Nifty futures. In the
coming session, markets are expected to remain in the range of 2700 –
2835 levels. Markets were trading in the positive territory taking favorable cues from
the global market and short covering by the market participants on
account of the expiry of monthly derivative contracts. Meanwhile, the RBI
monetary policy kept the interest rate steady and revised the GDP growth
estimates downwards for the year to7% from 7.5%. The monetary policy
hinted that the inflation will fall below 3% which boosted the market
sentiment.

Union Bank reported strong 3Q09 numbers with net profit growing 84%
yoy almost 30% higher than street estimates. The stock reacted up 3%,
closed the day down 2% yet outperforming the banks Nifty index.
While deposits growth picked up to 31% loan growth remained stable at
25% leading to 50% increase in net interest income. Margins continued
to expand to 2.97% year to date and the bank looks to further enhance its
full year margins to at least 3%; However, in the near term given recent
PLR cuts, that appears difficult, in our view.

>Bharti Airtel (HSBC)

The 15% fall in Bharti’s share price since the launch of RCOM’s GSM service in December is an overreaction, in our view. Instead, investors should focus on
Bharti’s market leadership strengths and RCOM’s longer-term structural limitations of
operations in 1800MHz which require additional base stations. We believe the combination of
low revenue yields and bloated cost structure will reduce the scope for disruptive pricing and
competitive intensity will become more rational. In our view, Bharti is well placed to limit
damage to its earnings on the back of its strong balance sheet, high revenue market share,
brand positioning, and scale. Reference can be made to the Korean experience, which suggests
that changes in subscriber market share do not translate into changes in FCF/revenue market
share.

>Steel ( MORGAN STANLEY)

We continue to recommend caution regarding the
Indian Steel sector, more so after the recent
outperformance seen in the Sensex recently even as the
economic climate continues to slip. Our Cautious stance
is based on our belief that: 1) steel prices have more
downside from here in the next two quarters, bringing
many Indian companies close to losses; and 2) stocks
are not fully discounting trough-level earnings and
balance sheet pressure. We suspect that many
second-rung steel companies are already incurring
losses, which could be revealed in F4Q09. Results for
the next two quarters could act as catalysts for the
stocks.
A 30-year low in economic growth and a sustainable
rebound in steel prices at US$500/t do not make a
good pair. Our economists are now calling for just 0.3%
growth in C2009. Accordingly, we forecast the first
demand compression in the global steel industry since
1998, and a 10-year low capacity utilization level. We
are cutting our Indian steel price forecasts by 5-7% for
F2010-11 even as near-term news flow has improved
somewhat. A quick impact from global stimulus
packages may be the surprise element on the upside,
but the effects will have to be reflected in broader
economies before they will be seen in steel. We assign a
low probability to this event.

>IRB INFRA(Religare)

Leading private developer with a focus on road projects: IRB Infrastructure
has a portfolio of 14 BOT road projects, of which 11 are operational, 2 are
under construction and 1 is yet to achieve financial closure. The capitalised
cost of these projects is Rs 64.7bn, funded through equity of
Rs 13.3bn and the balance through debt. Despite the difficult market
conditions, the company has been able to achieve financial closure for its
Rs 27bn Surat-Dahisar project, albeit with a delay of three months.
Strong in-house construction order book of Rs 63bn: IRB’s order book of
Rs 63bn is bifurcated between EPC – Rs 35bn with an execution time frame
of three years – and O&M – Rs 28bn with an execution period of 10–12 years.
IRB’s construction arm reports margins of 20% vis-à-vis the industry average
of 10%. The strong margin outperformance can be attributed to lower
subcontracting expenses, a large fleet of equipment, ownership of aggregate
mines, and higher cost assumptions while pricing project bids. While we
expect construction margins to decline by 450bps over the next 2–3 years due
to increased competition, they would still be above the industry average.
Consolidated earnings to grow at 49% CAGR over FY08-FY11: We anticipate a
significant jump in revenues and earnings, at a CAGR of 59% and 49%
respectively over FY08-FY11, once the Bharuch-Surat and Surat-Dahisar road
projects start contributing to IRB’s toll income. Since financial closure on the
Surat-Dahisar contract has been achieved, revenues will kick in from February
’09 at the rate of Rs 10mn per day, post revenue-sharing with the National
Highway Authority of India (NHAI) (38% of toll revenue in the first year).

VIEW POINT: WHEN CAT IS AWAY, MICE PLAY

The US markets are closed today for Martin Luther King holiday and Obama gets sworn in Tuesday, when a rally in the US markets is generally expected. With this development in mind and looking at the Friday close of the Indices, expect the Indian stocks to open higher today and generally bask in the mild winter sun.

It is difficult to visualize how the homecoming of a prodigal brother will help the stocks of various companies involved. The best way to make the most of these rumours is to take the options route, which is fairly well trodden in some of the stocks concerned. We could see the market breadth improve today. Mr P C Gupta's assertion that money may have been diverted from Satyam, should improve the case for the company.

Wipro - Event Update - 'On the wrong side of World Bank bureaucracy' - Reduce (PL)

Hi,

Latest Reports from Institutional Brokerage House Prabhudas Lilladher(P) Ltd on Wipro Made a ' Reduce " rating.

Highlights of the reports are as follows

* Debarred by World Bank: Wipro announced that the World Bank, in July 2007, debarred the company from participating in direct RFPs issued by the Bank from 2007-11. This is on account of what the World Bank terms as ‘inappropriate benefits to Bank staff’. Since the World Bank is not a client of Wipro at this point the future revenue impact is Nil. But given that this announcement comes on top of the Satyam scandal the market is concerned about the long-term reputation impact on the company.

* ADS offered at IPO price during the issue: As part of the Directed Share Programme (DSP) of the ADS listing in 2000, Wipro was allowed (as are all companies) to offer shares from the IPO to employees, vendors, clients, prospects, etc (basically all stakeholders) at the IPO prices. Accordingly Wipro offered the same to most of its stakeholders in the US. About 50% of the DSP was subscribed by employees while the rest was subscribed by vendors and clients. Wipro offered the shares (1,750 worth about U$72000 then) to some World Bank staff (and many other clients and prospects) through the CIO of World Bank. It also took a written undertaking from them that this does not conflict with their internal guidelines. Seven years latter the World Bank discovered this through its internal audit and as per its guidelines barred Wipro from doing business with the Bank for four years.


* Unintentionally caught up in World Bank bureaucracy: World Bank as an organization is legendary for its bureaucracy and red tape. The fact that it took nearly seven years to discover this issue itself is indicative of the state of affairs at the Bank. We believe Wipro might have been in an error of judgment but certainly not guilty of bribing since the shares were fully paid for by the subscribers. We are clear in our mind that it is a case of unintentional transgression, and a minor one at that. We don’t see any long-term consequences of this issue on the business of Wipro.

Hi All,

I have read many Investment strategies earmarked by FII's,Investment banks,PE's,VC's,Sovereign Funds and Institutional brokerages (Like B&K,FG,MosT,Kotak,Edel etc....) But felt this report as very qualitative than quantitative from other brokerages....Yes, its edelcap..One of the best qualitative research reports I have read about the year 2009.All are kindly requested to take note of the Micro and Macro ecomic Indicators for taking a clear view about Indian Mkts.


High lights of the Reports are

1. Near term global economic outlook continues to remain weak

* Fears of recession and deflation are looming large, especially for developed economies
* Despite huge stimulus packages, global economic recovery will be a long process
2. India is not facing any crisis, but growth momentum is lost for the moment.
Nevertheless, Indian economy is more resilient, due to

* Large domestic consumption and low dependence on exports;
* Favourable saving-investment dynamics, a sound financial sector, scope for
infrastructure; and
* Improvement of the fiscal and BoP situation at the margin

Though the Indian economy is better placed than many of its Asian peers, it is in no way decoupled with the rest of the world and in the next few quarters it will grow at a rate much lower than the average growth rate seen in the past few years. Besides, the forthcoming Union elections and the unrelenting negative global news flow would continue to act as an overhang on the markets. But the good news is that the Indian economy is likely to respond to the recent monetary and fiscal measures, and could possibly witness a meaningful revival by the second half of CY2009.

Consequently, we expect the markets to remain range-bound and consolidate around the current levels for most of the first half of CY2009. In our view, the consolidation phase should be exploited as it offers a great portfolio building opportunity for the long-term investors. Though the uncertainties abound, the downside risk is limited and the risk-reward ratio is hugely in favour of the long-term investors. Especially since the benchmark index is trading at close to the historic low of around 10x one-year forward
earnings.
