Markets struggle at higher levels By Sanjay R. Bhatia Earlier last week, the markets continued to move higher amidst intermediate bouts of profit booking and selling pressure. The selling pressure was high on Friday, 13 June 2014, on the back of the Kurdish attack in Iraq, which send crude oil prices flaring and also as many stocks were moved to the T2T segment.
The FIIs remained net buyers in the cash segment but were net sellers in the derivatives segment. Domestic institutional investors (DIIs), however, continued to press sales and remained net sellers for the week. The breadth of the market remained positive amidst lower volumes, indicating lack of participation at higher levels. The global markets were weighed down by fresh trouble in Iraq, which saw crude prices rising to a 9‐month high. The US economy painted a disappointing picture on retail sales and jobless claims. On the domestic front, the Indian economy has started showing green shoots. Industrial production after falling for the last two months grew to a 13‐month‐high rate of 3.4% in April 2014, driven mainly by electricity generation and manufacturing. Moreover, the consumer price index fell to a 3‐month low of 8.28% in May 2014 as against the high of 8.59% recorded in April as prices of vegetables and cereals increased at a slower pace.

daily charts. Besides, the RSI and Stochastic are placed in the overbought zone on the weekly charts. These negative technical conditions would lead to further bouts of profit booking and selling pressure especially at higher levels.
The prevailing positive technical conditions, however, still hold good and would lead to buying support at lower levels. The RSI, KST, MACD and Stochastic all are placed above their respective averages on the weekly charts. The Nifty is placed above its 50‐day SMA, 100‐day SMA and 200‐day SMA. Further, the Nifty’s 50‐day and 100‐day SMA are placed above Nifty’s 200‐day SMA, which is known as the ‘Golden Cross’ breakout. These positive technical conditions would lead to buying support at lower levels.
The +DI line is placed above the ADX line and the –DI on weekly charts. The +DI line is above the 42 level on weekly charts indicating that buyers have an upper hand but that the market has also come off its recent highs indicating that buyers are booking profits at regular intervals.
Now, it is important that buying support emerges at lower levels. If the Nifty manages to move and sustain above the 7600 level, then the Nifty could test the 8000 mark. In the meanwhile, the markets would continue to take cues from the new government’s policy decisions, Rupee‐Dollar exchange rate, global markets and crude prices.
Technically, on the upside, the BSE Sensex faces resistance at the 25420, 25700 and 26000 levels but seeks support at the 24750, 24000, 23408 and 22323 levels. The support levels for the Nifty are placed at 7402, 7229, 7118, 7067 and 6872 while it faces resistance at 7593, 7675, 7700 and 7800 levels.
Investors should book profits regularly.
Yeh Street maange more! By Fakhri H. Sabuwala
The new parliament has been convened, the Presidential address is over, the dress rehearsal of the bureaucrats is done. The FM's meeting with State finance ministers and a lot more is on the governmental front. On the back of these developments, the BSE Sensex surpassed its 16 May 2014 high (the day of Lok Sabha results) and is on its way to make a new high before the first budget of the new government. Big gains are seen in the benchmarks since the day of NaMo's anointment as the BJP’s nominee for PM on 13 September 2013. The Sensex has risen 26% while the broader index BSE 500 scaled up 31.37%.
Nearly 500 of the 2525 active BSE stocks jumped over 100% during this 8‐month period. 92 stocks returned between 90% and 100%, 100+ stocks climbed over 200% while 17 saw their market capitalisation swell over 5 times.
This sharp rally was on the back of the Rs.95,000 crore worth of foreign inflows during this 8‐month period and on hopes of economic revival and quick implementation by the Modi led government. People expect it to speed up project clearances, remove bottlenecks and kick‐start the investment cycle and put the economy on the path of high growth.
Matra Kaushal Enterprise skyrocketed 975%, BF Utilities zoomed 399%, KEC International zoomed 346%, BEML by 299% and CEAT by 293% were the big gainers from stable of the BSE 500 Index. TVS Motors, NCC, Sintex, Suzlon and Sadbhav Engineering jumped between 200% and 300% from the same group.
From the BSE 100, it was Adani Enterprise, Ashok Leyland, PFC, HPCL, UPL, Crompton Greaves, HDIL and Federal Bank, which gained between 100% to 250% in the same period. It is a paradigm shift in the market as the whole market is getting re‐rated. Reading the sentiment, punters seem to yell ‘Yeh street maangey more’.
Farm sector may be the new area of importance in the ensuing budget. Agricultural reforms including the development of irrigation facilities may take the pride of place. The maiden budget of the BJP led NDA government may announce the formation of a national water authority and an irrigation fund for speedier implementation of long pending irrigation projects in the country. It is on this premise, irrigation scrips witnessed a sharp rise and the star performers were Jain Irrigation Systems and EPC Irrigation. If irrigation is going great guns, the business of PVC pipes

(Finolex Industries) and water pumps (Shakti Pumps, Crompton Greaves, KSB Pumps, Roto Pumps) shall also do very well.
For a change, the mid‐week saw Pharma and IT regaining its lost glory. It seems the order for sectorwise rotation in teji is on. Earlier it was Infrastructure, Metals, Capital Goods, Cement, Oil & Gas and FMCGs that held their pride of place. By turns, the market is responding to every move of the PM and FM and keeping a close watch on whom they are meeting and what is transpiring between them.
One school of thought, however, believes that the pace of rise needs a breather and that the Sensex and the Nifty have risen much higher than warranted and before time. Although the secular trend remains bullish, it needs time adjustment, which will unfold in the coming weeks. Conservative observers had indicated of Sensex 30K beyond FY15. This was advanced to March 2015, then December 2014 and to Diwali 2014. But the impatient ones have now revised it to the Budget in July 2014. This talk of breakneck speed is dangerous for investors as they may fall prey to the games played by operators that accompany any rally. Give NaMo and his team the time to settle down. Its not even a month since the new ministers took oath, yet the spin doctors are weaving dreams that may turn out to be traps!
Minor Up/Down swings seen By Hitendra Vasudeo Last week, the BSE Sensex paused once again after a strong rise of two weeks. The Sensex opened at 25543.59, attained a high at 25735.86 and fell to a low of 25171.60 before it finally closed the week at 25228.16 and thereby showed a net fall of 168 points on a week‐to‐week basis.
The last rising swing on the daily chart was from 24163 to 25735. Expect the retracement of the last rising swing on the daily chart and the retracement levels are placed at 25146‐24925‐24769. Expect the retracement to be tested. Further weakness will continue if 24644 is subsequently violated, then expect 24163.
A bearish candle was formed on Friday, 13 June 2014, which suggests that a near term correction is likely of the last swing and a further rally can continue on a rise and close above 25735.
The correction on the daily chart was visible, which was more in terms of time, without eroding the recent price rise. On the weekly chart, we have a support cluster at 24270‐24120. The weekly chart will be under the pressure of
correction on a fall and close above 24100. On the monthly chart, if we look at the macro count then Wave 1 ended at 4643 in September 1994 and Wave 2
ended at 2904 in May 2003. Wave 3 ended in January 2008 whereas Wave 4 ended in August 2013 at 17448. Wave 5 projection can be as low as 28800 but can exceed to 35000. A major problem on the monthly chart can develop below 17448. Broadly, the corrections are for buying as we may surpass 28800 in due course of time.
The daily chart shows signs of minor correction but the same is not yet seen on the weekly chart. Correction and termination of the correction will create higher bottoms unless a vertical fall below 17400 is witnessed. BSE Mid Cap Index Expect the 9700‐10250 range to be tested in due course of time. BSE Small Cap Index Resistance zone is 10200 to 11400, which means spike in the Small Cap Index is to book partial profits. BSE Bankex BSE Bankex can still roll onto 19000. Strategy for the week Traders long and holding stocks can keep a stop loss of 24000.

Mangalam Cement Ltd. Code: 502157 Last Close: 201.85 By Amit Kumar Gupta Mangalam Cement Ltd (MCL) is a manufacturer of cement based in North India. It sells its cement under the brand name of Birla Uttam Cement 43 Grade and Birla Uttam Cement, Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC). It has cement plants and a coal‐based power plant located at Morak in Kota district (Rajasthan). The company owns 15 Wind Turbines with a total capacity of 13.65 MW generation per day. Promoted by Shri B. K. Birla, Mangalam Cement Ltd (MCL) is engaged in the production and sale of both Portland cement and cement clinker. Highlights: MCL’s additional clinker capacity of 0.5 MMTPA and cement capacity of 1.25 MMTPA at Morak (Rajasthan) were under trial run in Q4FY14 and have started commercial production from June 2014. After these expansions, MCL’s clinker capacity stands at 2.3 MMTPA while the cement capacity stands at 3.25 MMTPA. We expect MCL to report a robust volume growth at a CAGR of 20% over FY14‐16E buoyed by the demand‐supply mismatch in the industry.
Realizations are likely to improve owing to the demand recovery with the government’s emphasis on infrastructure development and plan to develop 100 new cities and provide proper housing to all citizens by 2022.
Recently, MCL has upgraded its kiln capacity, which will help in reducing power consumption by 8 units per tonne of clinker and coal consumption by 1%. We expect the company to post substantial margin expansion on the back of higher realization and the recent cost‐cutting initiatives undertaken.
Higher production on expansion of its clinker capacity and the coming on stream of the new grinding unit will ensure effective utilization of idle capacity of the power plant. MCL had to keep one of the power units idle due to the unattractive rates offered by the Government of Rajasthan and the energy exchange for the purchase of its power.
For Q4FY14, MCL’s operating revenue grew 18.53% YoY to Rs.218.43 crore led by 12% YoY growth in volume of 0.57 MMT coupled with 6% rise in price realisation at Rs.3770 per tonne. Higher price realization has augmented profit margins. The Q4FY14 OPM stood at 13.16% as compared to 11.21% in Q4FY13. However, PAT fell by 11.34% YoY to Rs.7.82 crore on Rs.13.3 crore payment on account of deferred tax.

Valuation: At the CMP of Rs.201.85, the MCL stock trades at 7.4x FY16E EPS, which appears attractive. We believe that with higher demand, better price realization, a positive economic outlook and rising margins would lead MCL to perform better in the foreseeable future and recommend a ‘Buy’ on the MCL stock with a price target of Rs.300 at a P/E multiple of 11x FY16E earnings i.e. an upside of 43%, over the next 12 months.

Dividend: The company has paid dividends as follows: FY14 ‐ 50%, FY13 ‐ 40%, FY12 ‐ 27.50%, FY11 ‐ 20%, FY10 ‐ 20%. Shareholding: The promoters hold 67.45% while the balance 32.55% is with non‐corporate promoters, institutions and the investing public. Prospects: As the die‐cast industry forms the base for various manufacturing, infrastructure and engineering projects a boost to nation building activities automatically translates into a fillip to growth of castings.
There are a series of growth triggers lined up for FY15 and beyond to boost the share of manufacturing in the GDP. The new manufacturing policy which is targeted at creating of new jobs, the Automotive Mission Plan 2016, numerous infrastructure development initiatives in the power and the other sectors in the 12th Five Year Plan (2012‐17) and the increasing migration of global OEM operations to India augur well for the growth in the castings industry.
The fortunes of the casting industry are closely tied to those of the downstream sectors and industries from where the demand arises. As ACL’s is a leader in the casting industry both in terms of size and quality of output, it stands to gain from any tailwinds that surface.
Today, India is one of the world’s fastest growing passenger car markets and the second largest producer of 2‐wheelers. It is also the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer and the fifth largest commercial vehicle producer but with the second largest market for commercial vehicles and attractive destination for manufacturing special utility vehicles (SUVs) due to lower production costs.
According to an ICRA report, volumes of utility vehicles increased 52%, 2‐wheelers were up 2.9% while 3‐wheelers (passenger) segment grew 8.5% on the back of fresh permits.
The demand for automobiles and auto‐parts depends on economic growth and the purchasing power and India is perceived to be not only a large market for automobiles and components but also a fast growing manufacturing hub which augurs well for the casting industry in general and Alicon Castalloy in particular. Conclusion: Alicon Castalloy is a single source supplier of many critical engine parts including cylinder heads for some of India’s largest OEMs of 2/4‐wheelers. It also caters to the non‐auto sector like Agriculture, Aeronautical Marine, Locomotive, Infrastructure, Energy, Defence and the Medical/Healthcare industries. Over the last four years, its turnover has more than doubled in both the domestic and the overseas markets.
At its current market price of Rs.143.05, the ACL share discounts less than 10 times its FY14 EPS of Rs.17.37 against the industry average P/E multiple of around 8.2. In view of its impressive performance, good product range, prestigious clientele, good payouts, attractive market cap:sales ratio and bright future prospects, the ACL share is attractively priced at the current level and may be added to one’s portfolio for strong gains in the medium‐to‐long‐term.
Global tensions hit the sentiment By Devendra A. Singh The BSE Sensex (30‐share index) settled at 25,228.17 declining 168.29 points while the CNX Nifty fell 41.30 points to close at 7,542.10 for the week ended Friday, 13 June 2014.
MARKET REVIEW
A Time Communications Publication 8
The mood of market participants spoiled last week as crude oil prices sky‐rocketed on Friday on the back of the crisis in Iraq. Brent crude price was hovering at US $113/bbl and key indices tumbled in 2 out of the 5 trading sessions last week.
The Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) President Rafeeq Ahmed said, “India’s exports are expected to touch US $350‐360 billion in the current fiscal year from $312.35 billion in FY13‐14, $300.4 billion in FY12‐13 and $307 billion in FY11‐12. But the government has to take several steps to boost exports further.”
“After five years, our export may reach $750 billion. However, there is an urgent need to improve infrastructure and resolve issues related to revenue,” he added.
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry is expected to announce the new 5‐year foreign trade policy (2009‐14) after the Union Budget as it seeks to boost manufacturing and exports.
Meanwhile, data released from the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) shows that foreign direct investment (FDI) in the services sector fell about 54% y‐o‐y to $2.22 billion last fiscal year. The services sector accounts for over 60% to India’s gross domestic product (GDP).
FDI has also declined in Construction, Hotels and Tourism. Foreign investments are considered crucial for India, which needs about $1 trillion in the 5‐year Plan period ending
March 2017 to overhaul infrastructure such as ports, airports and highways to boost growth. Overall foreign inflows grew 8% to $24.29 billion in FY14 as against $22.42 billion in FY13. To attract further foreign inflows, the government plans to relax the FDI policy in sectors such as Defence, Railways
and Construction. The DIPP has already circulated a draft cabinet note to raise the FDI cap in Defence to 100%. World Bank Economic report on China stated, “China’s economy will grow at 7.6% this fiscal year a notch lower than
last year’s 7.7% and the trend is likely to continue next year as well at 7.5% in 2015. China’s growth will moderate over the medium term as the economy continues to rebalance gradually, the report
said. It further stated that “the slowdown in the first quarter reflected a combination of dissipating effects of earlier measures to support growth, a weak external environment and tighter credit especially for real estate.”
“The economic activity including industrial production has shown signs of a pick‐up in recent weeks. The recent acceleration, which is likely to continue into the next two quarters, reflects robust consumption, a recovery of external demand and new growth supporting measures including infrastructure investments and tax incentives for small and medium‐sized enterprises,” the World Bank added.
Chorching Goh, lead economist for China stated, “the rebalancing will be uneven reflecting tensions between structural trends and near term demand management measures.”
Chinese President Xi Jinping said last month, “China is still in a significant period of strategic opportunity. We must boost our confidence, adapt to the new normal condition based on the characteristics of China’s economic growth in the current phase and stay cool‐minded.”
On the Euro zone front, the Euro group retail sales broadly remained unchanged from May 2014 according to the latest PMI data from Markit. The Euro zone Retail PMI registered at 49.9 in May 2014 compared to April’s 3‐year high of 51.2.
Phil Smith, Economist at Markit said that, “renewed weakness in Italy’s retail sector acted to offset higher sales in both Germany and to a lesser extent in France. Italy was also the only nation where the survey showed deterioration in business sentiment in the month. The weight of weak consumer spending in Italy and to some degree in France is proving hard for Germany to carry on with any kind of momentum. The data thus far points to a marginal gain in Euro group consumer spending in Q2.”
On the monsoon front, the monsoon rains, which make up around 70% of India’s annual rainfall, are crucial to the nation’s agriculture sector and the broader economy. More than 60% of the country’s farmland is rain fed. The timing, distribution and quantity of rainfall are all important for crops. The four month southwest monsoon season that starts from June accounts for almost 70% of total annual moisture that Indian soil receives in a year.
This year could be a below normal monsoon as there is a 60% possibility of the emergence of the El Nino weather phenomenon. El Nino last affected India’s monsoon in 2009 when the monsoon rainfall was 23% below normal.

market scenario ahead in future. The Indian companies will further reveal their Q4FY13‐14 corporate earnings. Investors will closely watch the
corporate earnings results. On global front, market participants will closely focus on the crude oil behaviour reacting to the Middle East crisis. If
crude oil prices further boil and the crisis deepen, then the global financial markets will witness bearish movements. The US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is scheduled for the next monetary policy review on 17 & 18 June
2014. GURU SPEAK - By G. S. Roongta Bull run corrects By G. S. Roongta As forecast in the last issue, the stock market made a new high at BSE Sensex 25725 on Thursday, 12 June 2014.
The Sensex, which had settled at 25396.45 in the previous week on Friday, 6 June 2014, after gaining 1180 points on a week‐to‐week basis continued in the higher closing mode making new tops. Thus, the week under review i.e. 9‐13 June 2014 witnessed another life time high in keeping with my forecast that the markets will make new tops till the Budget.
However, the momentum in the market looked weak giving an impression that the bulls were tired. The sliding momentum despite the two way volatility, albeit in a limited range, was a clear sign of fatigue. Individual
stocks making new highs compared to the previous week were also range bound. The Sensex rose one day but fell the next day appearing enervated. This is quite evident from the given table. Date High Low Close Gain/Loss
Thus the closing on the Sensex was lower on Friday, 13 June 2014, compared to Monday, 9 June 2014. Thus the volatility in the BSE Sensex and the CNX Nifty has come down presenting a grim outlook for a few days or weeks ahead. The Sensex high of 25645 on Monday, 9 June; 25711 on Tuesday, 10 June and 25725 on Wednesday, 11 June was less than a 100‐point rise over the next three days. The closing, too, was lower by 100 points over the next four days signalling weakness & fatigue. Similarly, the lows were lower by 77 points from 9‐11 June 2014, which is a cause for concern as it indicates that some more corrections are likely in the days ahead in sharp contrast to the 1180 point rise in the previous week.
The rally in Mid‐cap and Small cap stocks, however, continued unabated. The valuations of such stocks are still suppressed as they appear underpriced. The market picks up 20‐30 fresh stocks every day based on the high expectations of the Modi government taking new initiatives to revive the economy fast. 1) Amtek Auto hit a new high at Rs.272 against a 52‐week low of Rs.58 appreciating 369%. 2) AIA Engineering hit a high at Rs.810 against its 52‐week low of Rs.283 and rose 186%. 3) Astra Polytechnik hit Rs.698 against a 52‐week low of Rs.195 appreciating 258%.
A Time Communications Publication 10
4) BEML hit Rs.786 from its 52‐week low of Rs.126 thus yielding mind‐boggling gains of 523%. 5) Elecon Engineering hit a high of Rs.69 from the low of Rs.18.60 gaining over 271%. 6) Gati hit a high of Rs.125 against its 52‐week low of Rs.23 gaining 443%. 7) Hind Syntex (Dark Horse) hit a high of Rs.14 as against its 52‐week low of Rs.3.50 gaining 300%. 8) JBM Auto hit a high of Rs.230 against its 52‐week low of Rs.39 gaining 490%. 9) J.K. Lakshmi Cement hit a high of Rs.235 against its 52‐week low of Rs.50 gaining over 370% highest rise among
cement stocks. 10) KEC International hit a high of Rs.130 against its 52‐week low of Rs.30 gaining 333%. 11) Suzlon Energy hit a high of Rs.34 against its 52‐week low of Rs.5.50 gaining nearly 516%. These are but a few drops from the ocean of stocks brought to the knowledge of investors in general and readers of Money Times in particular. All these stocks were recommended in Money Times by one or the other analyst on its panel. The rise is thus spread in over 200 to 300 Mid & Small Cap stocks, if surveyed in detail. Since last six months, I have repeatedly emphasized on the great value that mid cap & small cap stocks offer to investors who take a serious view of our astute advice and reap handsome gains.
On 1 April 2014, Money Times launched a new product ‘Panchratna’, which garnered hundreds of subscribers ranging from quarterly, half‐yearly to annual subscriptions. All the five stocks featured in ‘Panchratna’ have given handsome profits ranging between 33% and 91% in just two and a half months as per details given below:‐

Imagine what the annual rise might be. It’s just mind‐boggling. The first three stocks: Cheslind Textiles, Katare Spinning Mills and Trident are from the Textile sector, which is suffering because of government policies. And there was neither liquidity nor price discovery as there are no sellers of these stocks. Despite that, they rose 33% to 91%. Each of the three Textile stocks was proved their worth rising handsomely in just two months, nothing short of mind‐boggling.
Investors should, therefore, book profit in 30% to 40% of the quantity and hold the balance for the long‐term. The next issue of ‘Panchratna’ will be released on Tuesday, 1 July 2014, wherein efforts will be made to cover stocks
for better returns keeping in mind the Union Budget and its impact on the stock market. Since FM, Arun Jaitely, is expected to announce some major relief next month, the market is expected to remain
bullish. The reforms going ahead are expected to be industry friendly and push for growth by removing bottlenecks in availability of raw materials at reasonable prices or to make imports cheap. Infrastructural development will also bring down input costs. Important points to note are: 1) Macro & micro economy of the country has already started improving with CAD and the Rupee is stronger at
Rs.59.30/USD as against Rs.69 in August/September 2013 thereby gaining nearly 15%. 2) Exports have started rising benefitting industry to cut down inventory and reduce the interest cost of holding
relatively lower stocks followed by improved cash flows. 3) FIIs inflows is rising to hit over Rs.55,000 crore by mid‐June 2014. This will keep the stock market and the Rupee
comfortable. India’s economy has bottomed out and even minor improvements will raise productivity as higher demand is bound to usher better growth, lower inflation and attract higher investments going forward. The market will renew the bull run after this intermediate correction.
(CMP: Rs.110, TGT: Rs.160+) Dishman Pharmaceuticals and Chemicals Ltd. (DPCL) manufacture active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) intermediates. The company operates in two segments: contract research and manufacturing services (CRAMS), bulk drugs, intermediates, quats and speciality chemicals. It provides a range of products to the global market including a range of reagents, speciality chemicals, APIs and their intermediates. It operates three business units: Dishman Speciailty Chemicals, which manufactures Phase Transfer Catalysts; Dishman Vitamins and Chemicals, which manufactures Vitamin D2, Vitamin D3, Vitamin D analogues, cholesterol and laolin related products for pharmaceutical, cosmetic and related markets; Dishman Disinfectants, which manufactures antiseptic and disinfectant formulations. The products manufactured by the company include bulk drugs, phase transfer catalyst and fine chemicals.
Its Q4FY14 revenue grew 18% YoY to Rs.410 crore, which was above market estimates. Carbogen witnessed 37% YoY growth compared with analysts’ estimate of 20%; marketable molecules (MM) declined 15% YoY, in line with estimates.
DPCL’s two new facilities, Unit 13 (Vitamin D3) and Unit 9 (Oncology unit) built at a capex of about Rs.200 crore, will start contributing materially in the coming quarters, which bodes well for the non‐Carbogen Amcis CRAMS segment.
Carbogen Amcis revenues were Rs.163 crore (much higher than Rs.131 crore in Q3FY14), with strong EBITDA margin of 13.5% impacted by a likely shift in the product mix towards higher‐margin contract research services.
The management indicated that Carbogen clocked US $100 million in FY14 (with ~19% margins) and has guided for US $102 million revenue with 18% OPM in FY15. It is very positive on the margin outlook aided by increasing capacity utilization given the orders (CHF 96 million orders) on hand.
DPCL has indicated that Unit 9 (oncology unit) capacity is entirely sold out and the revenue impact estimated at US $9 million will be visible in FY15 as the projects scale up. Currently, Dishman has four active projects including one internal project.
Dishman Netherlands has restarted after shutdown for renovation in Q2. Revenues were up 25% YoY and 21% QoQ at Rs.64.3 crore while EBITDA improved 30% QoQ and 24% YoY led by margins of 9.7%. With Vitamin D a price strengthening consistently, the management is optimistic on the outlook on the Vitamin D3 business and expects margins to bounce back to 13‐15% by FY15.
The company believes that the India CRAMS business will begin to scale up from FY15 with the likely commencement of the Astra Zeneca contract of US $5‐7 million.
Although DPCL’s effort to divest its Chinese facility has not been successful, the management has decided to utilize the facility for making some intermediates. For FY15, it expects cash break‐even as against cumulative loss of ~Rs290 crore in FY14. Valuations: DPCL’s performance in the past few quarters and commentary indicates that the company is on the recovery path as a significant proportion of its unproductive assets have begun to contribute. While the company’s patchy execution track record has been a concern, we take comfort from emerging signs of a recovery in Carbogen and Dishman’s ability to secure multiple large‐ticket deals with majors like Abbott, Astellas, Celegene, Astra Zeneca, DSM and J&J in the recent past. Given its significant operating leverage, a pick‐up in revenue growth can deliver significant earning upsides. We recommend to Buy the stock with a price target of Rs.168 (10x FY15E). Technical Outlook: The Dishman Pharma stock is very strong on daily chart and has been making higher highs and higher lows. It is very strong in all time frames and is trading above all important moving averages like 200‐DMA & 100‐DMA. Start accumulating at this level of Rs.110 and on dips to Rs.85 for medium‐to‐long‐term investment and price target of Rs.160+ in the next 6 months.

Jaypee Infratech Ltd. (JIL) is an infrastructure development company engaged in implementing the Yamuna Expressway Project and related real estate development. The Yamuna Expressway is a 165‐kilometre access‐controlled 6‐lane concrete pavement expressway along the Yamuna River from Noida to Agra with the potential to be widened to an eight lane expressway entirely in the State of Uttar Pradesh. The company has also been provided the right to develop 25 million sq. mtrs. of land for commercial, amusement, industrial, institutional and residential purposes across five different locations along the Yamuna Expessway ‐ one in Noida, two locations in District Gautam Budh Nagar (part of NCR) and one location in each of District Aligarh and District Agra, Uttar Pradesh. Lowest quarterly PAT: JIL’s Q4FY14 PAT was its lowest in four years led by weak revenue booking down 20% YoY to Rs.770 crore against the estimate of Rs.1030 crore and margin shrinkage of 11pp YoY (and 2.6pp QoQ) to 33.5%. EBITDA declined 40% YoY (and 28% QoQ) to Rs.260 crore against estimated Rs.400 crore. PAT was Rs.13.2 crore, much below Rs.100 crore in Q3FY14 impacted by the higher tax. Revenue mix: Expressway revenue was stable QoQ at Rs.38 crore, bulk land sales expand revenue was Rs.350 crore, while Percentage of Completion Method (POCM) revenue was Rs.370 crore as against Rs.56 crore in Q3FY14. Deteriorating presales have affected revenue and operating leverage. Operational weakness prevails: Presales were 1.2msf (Rs.180 crore), further down from 0.64msf (Rs.240 crore) in Q3FY14. The Agra parcel was a key driver, with marginal contribution from Sports City (Mirzapur). FY14 presales were Rs.1010 crore against Rs.3270 crore in FY13. Weak collections: Customer collections weakened to Rs.410 crore in Q4FY14 from Rs.510 crore in Q3FY14. FY14 collections were down 40% to Rs.2180 crore. In FY14, it collected ~Rs.1000 crore as against Rs.1500 crore of bulk land sales concluded in Q1FY14. Overall net debt declined Rs.450 crore YoY to Rs.7600 crore. Valuation: We reduce the EPS estimates for FY15 and FY16 by 15‐20% to factor in lower margins and higher tax rate. While JIL’s market mix offers gradual value accretion potential over the longer‐term, the recent monetization has been inconsistent due to higher dependence on investor demand in newer land parcels. With the uptick in sentiment, we believe it would witness steady improvement in demand after the recent torpidity. Our sum of the parts (SOTP) based price target is Rs.45/share (partially valuing Agra and Parcel‐2). The stock trades at 0.7x FY16E BV and 9.4x FY16E EPS and maintain a Buy on it. Technical Outlook: The Jaypee Infratech stock is very strong on the daily chart and has been making higher highs and higher lows. It is very strong in all time frames and is also trading above all important moving averages like 200‐DMA & 100‐DMA. Start accumulating at this level of Rs.31 and on dips to Rs.28 for a medium‐to‐long‐term investment and price target of Rs.45+ in the next 6 months.

Also, it expects strong double digit growth in sales and operating margin to improve to around 18% in FY15 and later to around 20%, which is the standard margin globally. Investors may continue to hold this stock for higher targets. * Although NMDC (Code: 526371) (Rs.176) is producing around 22% of the country's iron ore, the management targets to touch 50% of the country's iron ore production in future, which is a very positive statement. For FY14, the overall top‐line rose 21% to Rs.3884.49 crore. Operating margins improved by 900 bps and operating profits climbed 41% to Rs.2469.71 crore. As a result, PBT climbed 31% to Rs.2952.30 crore. The company had an extraordinary (EO) income of Rs.45.48 crore. PBT after EO rose 34% to Rs.2997.78 crore.

Investors can keep a watch to add this stock on dips as a good core portfolio choice. * KCP Ltd (Code: 590066) (Rs.50.75), which was recommended in this column a few weeks back, will benefit from the recent increase in cement prices. It will also benefit from the strong revival in engineering and infrastructure projects as it has a giant engineering unit with a captive foundry. Investors can safely hold this stock for the next few years. * Note: Many projects had been held up for the last three years. With the revival of these stalled projects, there will be a huge pick‐up in demand and industry is very likely to revive soon and the feel good factor will return to the industrialists, entrepreneurs and consumers too. Investors, therefore, need to stay invested in quality stocks instead of trading or switching stocks every now and then. The growth in the economy will benefit every segment.

Jindal Poly Films: For sizeable gains Incorporated in 1974, Jindal Poly Films Ltd (JPFL) (Code: 500227) (Rs.246.85) is a part of Rs.6000 crore B.C. Jindal group a 58 year old industrial group offering a wide range of products. The group has promoted a number of companies involved in diverse activities like manufacturing Polyester film, Polypropylene film, Steel pipes and Photographic products.
JPFL is the largest manufacturer of BOPET and BOPP films in India. In 2005, the company made an IPO of 83,33,325 equity shares of Rs.10 each at a premium of Rs.350 per share amounting to Rs.292 crore by way of 100% book‐building. Its manufacturing capacities include PET:1,27,000 TPA; BOPP Film: 2,14,000 TPA; Metallizer:63,360 TPA; Polyester chips:1,76,400 TPA and Coating films: 3,600 TPA. JPFL has 12 including 5 overseas subsidiaries and five associate JVs.
JPFL entered the power sector in November 2010 with an investment of Rs.660 crore in the equity of group company Jindal India Powertech (JIPL), which is the holding company of Jindal India Thermal Power Ltd (JITPL) a special purpose vehicle (SPV) for the group's power activity. This entire investment was at par value of Rs.10 per share. Jindal Polyfilms currently holds 48.7% in JIPL.
JIPTL is currently working on an 1800 MW (3x600) thermal power project in Odisha at an investment of Rs.9000 crore financed by a debt:equity ratio of 80:20. Angul I is a pit‐head thermal power project located at village Derang in district Angul in Odisha.
The three units of 600 MW each will be developed in phases. It has already obtained all the required approvals including land, water, coal, environmental clearances and has achieved financial closure. One 600 MW unit commenced power generation on coal on 31 March 2014. The second unit of 600 MW is in an advanced stage of completion and is likely to commissioned by end July 2014.
Its Raigarh project at village Lohakhan in district Raigarh of Chhattisgarh has a planned generation capacity of 1320 MW consisting of two units of 660 MW each. The company has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and subsequently an Implementation Agreement with the Government of Chhattisgarh for this project and has applied for acquisition of 1,045 acres of land.
On 1 October 2013, JPFL acquired the global BOPP film business of ExxonMobil Chemical Company (USA) through an overseas subsidiary for about US $235 million, which is subject to customary price adjustments. The transaction covers acquisition of five BOPP production locations in USA and Europe. The manufacturing sites are in Georgia and Oklahoma in USA and in Italy, Netherlands and Belgium in Europe and include a technology center and sales office in Rochester, New York and an office in Luxembourg. Approximately 1450 people work in these locations and this acquisition will make JPFL one of the leading manufacturers of flexible packaging films globally with a combined capacity of about 4,45,000 TPA of BOPP films.
Earlier in 2011‐12, JPFL acquired Rexor SA of France through its subsidiary, Jindal France SAS. Founded in 1954, Rexor SA has emerged as a major European player in flexible & luxury packaging films for special applications. This European leader of tear strips and film wrap has a capacity of 4000 TPA with revenue of about €20 million. ISO:9002 certified since 1996, Rexor SA has improved upon the quality of its products and services by way of high‐performance environmentally‐friendly manufacturing equipment and mastery over the complex polyester/BOPP film coating technologies and expertise in metallisation, demetallisation and cutting of such films.
The Indian market for BOPP Films is underdeveloped due to popularity of low quality, cheap alternative Tubular Quenched Polypropylene Film (TQPP), which is being replaced by BOPP. Growing preference for premium and sophisticated packaging, however, is driving the growth of BOPP in India.
Besides flexible packaging, metallised BOPET films are used for metallic yarn. Metallised BOPP is widely used for gift wrapping. In the last few years, metallised polyester film has found application in sequins for the textile industry for sarees and dress material for women’s wear. However, the largest application of metalized BOPET and BOPP films continues to be in the flexible packaging segment.
For Q4FY14, JPFL’s standalone net profit zoomed 168% to Rs.51.8 crore on 20% higher sales of Rs.675 crore and the standalone EPS was Rs.12.3.

A Time Communications Publication 15
For FY14, consolidated net profit skyrocketed over 1200% to Rs.78.1 crore on 132% higher sales of Rs.5132 crore after the acquisition of the film biz of ExxonMobil. The FY14 consolidated EPS works out to Rs.18.6 and a dividend of 10% has been declared.
JPFL’s equity capital is Rs.42 crore and with reserves of Rs.1633 crore, the book value of its share works out to Rs.399. The value of its gross block is a whopping Rs.3764 crore with addition of capex Rs.1600 crore in FY14. Its unquoted equity investments in subsidiaries and associates amount to Rs.637 crore. Despite heavy borrowings for acquisitions, the DER is 0.82:1 (0.43:1). The value of the current/other investments, cash on hand etc are worth Rs.389 crore in the consolidated book.
The total market size of the packaging industry in India is about $6‐6.5 billion of which flexible packaging constitutes 22% or $1.32 billion (Rs.7,780 crore). This is expected to grow at a 15% p.a. on account of the rising demand for thin films. JPFL has strong record of consistent dividends and bonus shares and had issued 1:1 bonus shares in 1996 and 2010.
Considering its integrated manufacturing facilities, major acquisitions, broadbased product portfolio, synergies in operations, cost optimization, manufacturing and distribution presence in key regional markets, strong customer relationships, focus on high growth segments, rising proportion of speciality product revenues, strong global delivery capabilities with a presence in the fastest growing markets backed by strong global and domestic demand give strong visibility to JPFL’s revenue & profitability growth going forward.
Based on the current going, JPFL is expected to notch a consolidated EPS of Rs.45‐50 in FY15. At the current market price of Rs.246.85, the share trades at a P/E multiple of 5.5‐5 on FY15 estimated earnings.

Capital work‐in‐progress is Rs.17.4 crore. The promoters hold 61.9% in the equity, foreign holding is 0.5% and with PCBs holding 1.7% leaves 35.9% with the investing public.
SBCL continues to foray into new areas utilizing the latest technology and resources for adding new products and expanding various product ranges. Its focus on achieving stable growth, strong execution, cash flow maximization, higher productivity, keeping costs under control by implementing cost reduction programmes and its world‐class quality controls continued to strengthen in FY14. SBCL is, therefore, hopeful of sustaining growth in sales and profitability in the current year.
Despite the volatile economic environment, the global market offers substantial opportunities, which SBCL is fully geared to navigate through meeting the challenges of the changing technology demand and customer expectations. Improved consumer confidence and structural policy decisions in the developed markets provide the required momentum to kick‐start the economy on the path of recovery.
In March 2005, SBCL sub‐divided its equity share of Rs.10 each into five equity shares of Rs.2 each and had also announced a 1:1 bonus issue.
