Re: Recommendtaions From Various Sources
Did not hear back about any good Tea stocks? Also posting some stock reccos that I have gleaned from different sources
1 HLL (Rs 224) - Reduce (Kotak Securities)
Result is better than expectation… price target Rs 189.
HLL has declared their fourth quarter result (year-end December), which is marginallybetter than our expectations. However the overall profitability has seen a considerablejump due to one-off gain that the company made on sale of plantation divisions at Rs.892mn. As against our full year estimate of Rs.5.9 as EPS, the company has outperformed by registering Rs.6.1 as EPS on core business activities. Better product mix, enhanced prices, surge in rural demand and higher penetration led to a better than expected profitability for the company. Some of the segments, which were dragging down the performance is now slowly coming on track and likely to break even
in coming days, which would provide major boost to the company’s earnings and profitability.
We have revised our estimates in light of such performance by the company. However our valuation do not justify the current market price and continue to recommend REDUCE on the stock.
2. Future outlook for the sugar industry (Kotak Securities)
Traditionally the March quarter is the best quarter for the sugar companies with crushing taking place for the whole quarter. With firm domestic prices and higher capacity sugar companies should generate higher revenues in the March quarter. Although we expect sugar output to increase in FY06 by 40%, sugar prices should remain firm for at least two years. Besides, we expect downstream products to contribute more in view of the expansion plans for both cogen capacity and distillery plant. Net imports of raw sugar will continue during 2005-06 to maintain inventory levels. The industry is also in a consolidation phase. We believe that companies with integrated revenue models will be the biggest beneficiaries in the future. We maintain
a positive bias on the sector.
They have a buy on KCP Sugar and a Hold on Dwarkesh Sugar, EID Parry, Balarampur Chini and Bajaj Hindustan
3. Tata Motors (Rs.753, FY07E P/E: 15x, HOLD)
4. Television Eighteen Ltd.
(Rs.516, FY07E PE 20.7x, HOLD)
