Indian stock market and companies daily report (February 13, 2012, Monday)

The domestic markets are expected to edge higher following positive opening across most of the Asian markets. Domestic indices fell modestly on Friday, as data showing a slowdown in December IIP numbers prompted investors to book some profits after recent sharp gains.

Globally, cues remained mixed. European markets slid moderately on Friday as apprehensions remained over the second bailout package for Greece. Eurozone finance ministers had deferred the approval of a second bailout package for Greece (€130bn), demanding Greece’s acceptance over a new set of austerity measures. U.S. bourses also ended on a negative note, tracing concerns stemming from the Eurozone.

On the domestic front, consistent shrinkage in manufacturing output emphasizes the need to trim rates by RBI. However, domestic bourses seemed to have marked down macroeconomic concerns and have firmed up considerably. Nonetheless, one cannot rule out the pessimism surrounding the Eurozone, which can reverse market directions. Markets will closely trace the developments in the domestic as well global markets.

However, if NIFTY trades below 17,755 / 5,383 levels for the first half-an-hour of trade then it may correct up to 17,621 – 17,492 / 5,339 – 5,297 levels.


Industrial production for December dips to 1.8%

Industrial production (IIP) growth slipped again, growing by weak 1.8% for December, after the strong rebound witnessed in November (growth of 5.9% compared to negative 4.7% growth for October). IIP index growth of 1.8% was the second slowest, after the contraction witnessed in October 2011, in more than two years. IIP growth was also below the median expectation of Bloomberg’s survey of economists (2.9%). The 12-month rolling industrial production growth, which has been on a declining trend since November 2010 (9.9%), slipped further to 4.7%.

The dip in IIP can mostly be attributed to slow growth in the manufacturing sector (growth of 1.8% compared to 6.6% in November 2011 and 8.7% in December 2010), which accounts for ~75% of the overall industrial production. In terms of industries, 15 of the 22 industry groups in the manufacturing sector registered positive growth during December. The slowdown in mining persisted with a contraction of 3.7% for December (5th consecutive month of contraction). Growth in electricity production continued to be healthy, growing by 9.1% in December.

As per use-based data, capital goods production data continued to be volatile, declining by steep 16.5%. Production of intermediate goods contracted by 2.8% in December, however growth in consumer goods and consumer durables remained strong, growing by 10.0% and 13.4%, respectively.


3QFY2012 - Result Reviews

DLF

DLF announced its 3QFY2012 numbers. The company’s net sales declined by 18.0% yoy and 19.7% qoq to Rs.2,034cr, coming in well below our estimate of Rs.2,719cr. EBITDA came in at Rs.823cr, down 30.2% yoy, on the back of lower revenue and OPM margin compression. OPM contracted by 706bp yoy to 40.4%, above our estimate of 43.7%. PAT declined by 44.6% yoy to Rs.258cr, which was well below our estimate of Rs.414cr, despite a sharp increase in other income, which increased by 217% yoy to Rs.362cr (Rs.114cr). The decline in PAT was largely due lower revenue, OPM contraction and higher interest cost during the quarter, which increased by 44.8% yoy to Rs.620cr in 3QFY2012. We continue to maintain our Neutral recommendation on the stock. We may revise our estimates and target price post management’s concall.

JSW Steel

JSW Steel reported higher-than-expected consolidated adjusted PAT during 3QFY2012. However, the company reported net loss of Rs.48cr in 3QFY2012 on account of exceptional losses. The company had reported better-than-expected standalone numbers for 3QFY2012 on January 20, 2012. Consolidated net sales grew by 40.9% yoy to Rs.8,405cr (slightly below our estimate of Rs.8,843cr). Net sales growth was driven by increases in steel volumes (+20.0% yoy to 1.9mn tonnes) and realization (+18.2% yoy to Rs.43,401/tonne). Consolidated EBITDA increased by 29.6% yoy to Rs.1,317cr. The company reported exceptional items related to forex loss of Rs.504cr and loss of Rs.55cr from JSW Ispat (associate company) during the quarter. Consequently, the company reported net loss of Rs.48cr in 3QFY2012, compared to net profit of Rs.292cr in 3QFY2011. However, adjusted net profit, excluding exceptional items, increased by 75.1% yoy to Rs.511cr (higher than our estimate of Rs.279cr). We remain Neutral on the stock.

CCCL

Consolidated Construction Consortium (CCCL) posted disappointing set of numbers for 3QFY2012, as expected. On the top line front the company posted 10.0% yoy decline to Rs.446.5cr, lower than our estimate of Rs.535.9cr. On the EBITDAM front, CCCL continued its dismal performance and registered a dip of 510bp yoy to 4.6%, which was higher than our estimate of 3.2%. Interest cost came in at Rs.18.3cr a yoy/qoq jump of 45.1%/6.4% respectively, and in line with our estimate of Rs.18.6cr. Owing to poor show at revenue and margin level, along with interest burden, the bottom line posted a loss of Rs.3.2cr in 3QFY2012 vs. profit of Rs.16.7cr in 3QFY2011 and against our estimate of loss of Rs.5.2cr. We maintain neutral view on the stock.


3QFY2012 - Result Previews

Coal India

Coal India is slated to report its 3QFY2012 results. We expect net sales to increase by 39.2% yoy to Rs.17,664cr, mainly on account of coal price increase taken during February 2011. However, EBITDA margin is expected to contract by 264bp yoy to 24.5% in 3QFY2012 on account of higher employee cost provision. Net profit is expected to increase by 39.0% yoy to Rs.3,650cr. We have a Neutral view on the stock.

State Bank of India

State Bank of India is scheduled to announce its 3QFY2012 results. We expect the bank to report healthy NII growth of 19.3% on a yoy basis (up 3.6% on a qoq basis). Non-interest income growth is expected to be moderate at 14.4% yoy. Operating income of the bank is expected to grow by healthy 18.0% yoy to Rs.14,584cr. Provisioning expenses are expected to increase substantially by 63.4% yoy, considering the cyclical headwinds to asset quality. Hence, net profit growth is expected to be moderate at 10.1% yoy to Rs.3,113cr. We currently have an Accumulate rating on the stock with a target price of Rs.2,364

Sun Pharmaceuticals

For 3QFY2012, Sun Pharma is likely to report 18.7% yoy growth on the sales front, mainly on the back of integration of Taro, which is expected to be the growth driver of export formulation sales. On the domestic front, Indian formulation sales are expected to report a muted performance. Despite strong top-line growth on account of the integration, operating profit margin is expected to expand by 690bp yoy, with margin likely to be around 34.4%. Net profit is expected to register growth of 21.4% yoy during the quarter. We recommend Neutral on the stock.

SAIL

SAIL is expected to announce its 3QFY2012 results. We expect the company’s top line to grow by 9.8% yoy to Rs.12,239cr, mainly on account of higher realization. However, EBITDA margin is expected to decline by 211bp yoy to 14.0% on account of higher input costs. The bottom line is expected to decline by 2.2% yoy to Rs.1,083cr. We maintain our Neutral rating on the stock.

Cipla

For 3QFY2012, Cipla is expected to post net sales growth of 10.7% yoy to Rs.1,662cr, driven by the domestic and exports performance. On the operating front, OPM (excluding technical know-how fees) is expected to come in at 21.8%, registering an expansion of 410bp yoy. Further, net profit is expected to increase by 26.8% yoy to Rs.295cr. We recommend Neutral on the stock.

Motherson Sumi Systems

Motherson Sumi Systems is scheduled to announce its 3QFY2012 results today. On a consolidated basis, we expect the company to report a healthy 13% yoy growth in revenues to Rs.2,343cr for the quarter. On the operating front, the company is expected to report a 282bp yoy contraction in margins to 8.6%. As a result, the net profit is expected to decline by 26% yoy to Rs.79cr. The stock rating is under review.

Areva T&D – 4QCY2011

For 4QCY2011, Areva T&D is expected to post subdued top-line growth of 4.2% yoy to Rs.1,383cr, mainly on account of lower volumes, pricing pressures and execution slowdown. Consequently, EBITDA margin is expected to compress by ~443bp yoy to 9.0%, although we expect a sequential improvement of ~100bp due to slight easing of pricing pressures. Led by muted growth and dip in margin, the company’s PAT is expected to decline by 35.5% yoy to Rs.56.8cr. At the CMP, the stock is trading at 25.9x and 21.9x CY2011E and CY2012E EPS, respectively. We remain Neutral on the stock.

CESC

CESC is expected to announce its 3QFY2012 results. The company is expected to register 25.6% yoy growth in its standalone top line to Rs.1,157cr, aided by higher sales volume and better realization. OPM is expected to be flat at 27.6%, while net profit is expected to increase by 33.9% yoy to Rs.147cr during 3QFY2012. We maintain our Buy rating on the stock with a target price of Rs.304.
