Buy Neogen Chemicals for gains of 19%

From the current price level of Rs. 1273.7 per share, brokerage firm sees an upside of close to 19 percent and has set a target price of Rs. 1515 to be realized in a short term of 12 months.

Neogen Chemicals is a specialty chemicals company into manufacturing of specialty organic bromine-based chemical compounds as well as specialty inorganic lithium-based chemicals compounds. The company’s products find usage in pharmaceutical intermediates, agrochemical intermediates, engineering fluids, polymers additives and water treatment chemicals among others.

Revenue visibility of Rs. 350 crore after commissioning of Dahej plant

The capital expenditure at the Dahej plant, both of the phases, catering to different businesses, is expected to provide for asset turn of 2.7x, which provides incremental revenue visibility of Rs. 350 crore. Since both these business verticals are margin accretive thus, incremental revenue share from both segments is expected to aid gross margins and thereby OPM. This should inch up return ratios and thereby valuations in medium term, adds the brokerage firm.

Target Price and Valuation: The brokerage values Neogen Chemicals at 40x P/E FY24E EPS to arrive at a revised target price of Rs. 1515/share (earlier Rs. 1095/share).

Key triggers for gains in the stock

• Phase 1 and Phase 2 capital expenditure at Dahej seems to be lucrative for both advance intermediates and custom synthesis revenue growth.

• Higher component of the value added portfolio to expand company’s margin.

• Increased allocation of free cash flow towards organic/inorganic growth likely to expand return ratios further.

 2. Reliance Industries: Hold Rating

2. Reliance Industries: Hold Rating

The brokerage firm has recommended a ‘Hold’ rating on the scrip of the oil to telecom giant RIL having operations across varied segments including retail, digital services etc. The firm has set out the target price of Rs. 2480, i.e. an upside of 2.5 percent from the current price levels of Rs. 2420, with the target period of 12 months.

“On a consolidated basis, O2C and oil & gas contributed 62% to revenue, while retail, digital and others contributed 28%, 3% and 7%, respectively However, at the EBITDA level, O2C and oil & gas contributed 43% while retail, digital and others contributed 11%, 38% and 8%, respectively, says the brokerage report.

Triggers boosting the future price:

Reliance Jio valuations catch up:

Over the years of operation, Jio is fast collaborating with start-ups or niche companies with presence into digital technologies. The company has invested over US$1.9 billion over the last five years. We believe these investments provide an option value in the overall opportunity and complete the digital ecosystem creation objectives, as per the brokerage firm.

Aggressive Reliance retail footprint expansion:

The company has continued to maintain same store sales growth (SSSG) and also registered improvement in operating profitability, which has enabled it to demonstrate revenue and EBITDA CAGR of 50% and 58%, respectively, over FY16-21. Also, the steady free cash flow will enable the company to be low on debt as well as invest in future inorganic endeavour.

O2C hive off to unlock value:

The hive off of the company’s O2C business into a subsidiary is likely and the regulatory approval process is underway. Furthermore, the stake sale to global player will unlock value for the conglomerate company.

New energy initiatives:

The company plans to invest Rs. 60000 crore on new energy and materials over the next three years. Additionally, RIL is expected to invest Rs. 15000 crore in the value chain, partnerships and future technologies, including upstream and downstream industries leading to total investment of Rs. 75000 crore in the new energy business.

So, given the company’s leadership hold in each of its product and service portfolio together considering the long term prospects, ICICI Direct recommends a Hold on the scrip and values it at on an SOTP basis at Rs. 2480 per share.

Bank loans do not reflect credit risk adequately as RBI chases growth, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


The period of extended surplus liquidity is already witnessing fierce pricing wars across banks, some of which may not reflect credit risk adequately.

“However there is the risk of an Asset Liability mismatch if the liquidity is withdrawn quickly. As of now, the inflation numbers may not warrant such a decision from RBI, but if core inflation persists in the current range of 6% or above, that might act as a hindrance to continued liquidity abundance,” according to the State Bank of India’s economic research report Ecowrap.

The industry is replacing its long-term debts by very low-priced CP/working capital demand loan (ECDL) and this will obviously act as an enabler once the investment cycle revives

Margin pressure

Banks are now facing significant margin pressures despite surfeit of liquidity in the banking system, it said.

A back of envelope estimate suggests that the core funding cost of the banking system that includes cost of deposits, negative carry on Statutory Liquidity Ration (SLR) and Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) and Return on Assets is currently at 6 per cent, while the reverse repo rate is at 3.35 per cent. Additionally, if the cost of provisions is added to the core funding cost, the total cost comes to around 12 per cent, the report said.

Credit risk

The report cited the example of 15 years loans, which are being priced at even lower than 6 per cent, linking with repo / treasury bill rates. It said that 10-year Government Security (G-Sec) is currently trading at 6.2 per cent and by the current pricing trends this could even gravitate towards 6 per cent again.

This anomaly not only negates the concept of tenor premium but may create a material risk with regard to sustainability of such rates in long term, on which borrowers and banks are basing their financial calculations, it said, adding that the only good thing is that such pricing war is mostly restricted to AAA borrowers.

According to the report, three year term loans are being quoted at close to 4 per cent repo rate and seven year term loans for borrowers below AAA are also quoting a risk premium of 15-20 basis points over the 10 year rates. Working Capital Loans (WCL) are currently being quoted at a notch above reverse repo rate at 3.35 per cent.

The report said that the concept of normally permitted lending limit (NPLL) for specified borrowers, meant to nudge them to move towards corporate bonds market, may lose its importance.

CP market

Ghosh observed that the commercial paper (CP) market is also witnessing significant churn with banks now almost absent.

Non-Banking participants like mutual funds who do not have access to RBI Reverse Repo window are creating pricing pressure in CP market as they are sometimes quoting below RBI reverse repo rate.

The CP market reflects the huge pricing gap between better and lower rated borrowers, it said.

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


The Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corp will pay depositors of 21 insured banks, which includes scandal-hit PMC Bank, the amount equivalent to the deposits, up to a maximum of Rs 5 lakh, within 90 days.

Necessary instructions have been issued to the banks to submit the claims within 45 days after obtaining the approval from depositors to claim deposit insurance. The verification and settlement of the claims should be done by November 29, 2021, DICGC said in a a release.

These banks shall submit a claim list by October 15 and update the position as on November 29, with principal and interest, in a final updated list, which will enable DICGC to discharge its insurance liability in full as per norms.

Unpaid or the difference in amount of deposits up to Rs 5 lakh, as per final updated list, will be paid within 30 days of receipt, that is by December 29.

The Parliament in August passed the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (Amendment) Bill, 2021, ensuring account holders get up to Rs 5 lakh within 90 days of the RBI imposing a moratorium on the banks.

In 2019, the Reserve Bank of India imposed restrictions on PMC bank after observing financial irregularities, including under-reporting of bad loans. From the findings of the probe, it was discovered that Rs 250 crore worth of fake deposits were shown in the system, and that the bank had manipulated its net time and deposits using HDIL and DHFL cheques.

Stocks To Buy From Broking Firm Sharekhan In The Auto And FMCG Space

[ad_1]

Britannia: Sustainable growth likely, says Sharekhan

Sharekhan has set a price target of Rs 4740 on the stock of Britannia Industries, as against the current market price of Rs 4068.

Britannia has its medium to long term growth strategies in place with growing the core biscuit portfolio by gaining market share through sustained innovation and distribution expansion (especially in the Hindi speaking belt) while growing the adjacencies such as dairy/bakery by investing across the value chain (setting up facilities, innovations and higher marketing spends), Sharekhan has said.

“This along with improved supply chain management and operating efficiencies would help to post better margins in the coming years (barring FY22 which is affected by higher input prices),” the brokerage has said.

Britannia, price target of Rs 4,740 on the stock

Britannia, price target of Rs 4,740 on the stock

“With sustained market share gain, new product launches and higher traction on new channels (including e-commerce), we expect Britannia’s core biscuit category to grow ahead of industry growth in the medium term. This along with scale-up in revenues of adjacent categories and efficiencies would help Britannia to achieve double digit earning growth over FY2021-24E (barring FY2022),” Sharekhan has said.

The stock is trading at 43.5x/37.6x its FY2023/24E EPS, which is at discount to its large peers. “Strong growth prospects across key categories, higher cash generation ability, discounted valuations and receding risk of inter-corporate deposits makes it a good investment pick in the FMCG space. We maintain our Buy recommendation on the stock with a revised price target of Rs. 4,740,” the brokerage has noted.

Buy, Sundram Fasteners, says Sharekhan

Buy, Sundram Fasteners, says Sharekhan

Sharekhan has set a price target of Rs 1100 on the stock of Sundram Fasteners as against the current market price of Rs 942.

“The company’s order book remains at healthy levels with sectors such as farm implements, printed circuit boards, and industrial power generation growing rapidly. Domestic original equipment orders have improved more than 90% of pre-COVID levels across segments with commercial vehicle segments showing strong signs of recovery,” it has said.

Major capex over, price target of Rs 1100 on the stock

Major capex over, price target of Rs 1100 on the stock

According to Sharekhan the company has completed major three-year capex plan in FY2020. The company had invested Rs. 1,000 crore during FY2017-FY2020 and had expanded capacity across segments. Currently, the company is operating at 80% capacity utilisation. The recent capex programme has enabled the company to increase revenue by 25-30% without any major investments and will improve its turnover at minimal cost.

“The stock is trading at a P/E multiple of 28 times and EV/EBITDA multiple of 17.2x its FY2023E estimates, which is trading at the higher end of its average multiples. The stock’s premium valuation is justified given strong pedigree of its promoter, revenue visibility and ability to pass on costs to its customers. We retain our Buy rating on the stock with a revised price of Rs. 1,100,” the brokerage has said.

Energy Stock To Buy From Motilal Oswal For A 36% Upside

Target price of Rs 310 on the stock of Petronet LNG

According to Motilal Oswal, the Dahej expansion to 20mmtpa would be completed over the next three years, with further expansion to 22.5mmtpa expected within another year. The company has already placed an order for two tanks at Dahej (total ongoing capex of Rs 28-30 billion).

According to Motilal Oswal, the management highlighted that spot prices have risen to abnormal levels of USD24-25/mmbtu (i.e., 2x that of long-term contracts) on account of huge demand from China, Japan, and Europe.

“This has resulted in lower spot cargo orders being placed over the last few months. The company expects spot LNG prices to normalize over the next 5-6 months. That said, PLNG has tied-up contracts of 16.75mmtpa (i.e., 95% of the nameplate capacity of 17.5mmtpa in Dahej), which are cushioning its utilization rates,” the brokerage has said.

Diversification to help

Diversification to help

Petronet LNG is exploring an opportunity to set up an ethane/propane import facility at the Dahej terminal – on the back of probable demand from OPAL and GAIL (at the PATA plant). According to Motilal Oswal, the company has also planned a small petrochemical unit, which would be based on imported propane. The management highlighted that the feasibility study for the aforementioned

two projects is to be carried out, along with the probable internal rate of returns of the projects. “The stock trades at 9.2x FY23E EPS of Rs 23.3 and 5.3x Fy23E EV/EBITDA. We value Petronet LNG on DCF to arrive at fair value of Rs 310. Maintain Buy on the stock of Petronet LNG” the brokerage has said,” Motilal Oswal has said.

Fintech major MobiKwik, which has filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP), on Tuesday said the listing should provide a bountiful rewards to its employees through the ESOPs issued to them. The company, under its ESOP 2014 Scheme, has reserved 4.5 million equity shares for creating a pool of ESOPs for the benefit of the eligible employees.

MobiKwik Chairperson, co-founder and COO Upasana Taku said the number of equity shares that would arise from the full exercise of options granted implies 7 per cent of the fully diluted outstanding shares.

“This 7 per cent compares to less than 2 per cent holding for most other internet companies that are coming up for listing… Over the last decade, MobiKwik has grown on the strength of its employees to become a leading fintech player in India. As we cement our presence and leadership further, we wanted to acknowledge and reward our employees for their efforts,” she added.

The Gurgaon-based company – which has about 470 employees – had filed its DRHP with Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) in July.

The company plans to offer shares aggregating to Rs 1,900 crore in its IPO, of which Rs 1,500 crore is a fresh issue while the remaining Rs 400 crore is an offer for sale by existing shareholders.

MobiKwik – which offers solutions like mobile wallet and Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) – had raised a series G round of USD 20 million from Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) at a per-share value of Rs 895.80 per share. This implies a 600 per cent gain on average for the employees on their ESOPs, Taku said.

“This six-fold increase in the ESOP value has created generational wealth for the employees. It is the result of both the trust shown by employees in the company’s vision and the partnership-like approach taken by the company in sharing the rewards of value generation over time with the employees,” she added.

At the series G funding round valuation of USD 720 million, seven employees are worth more than Rs 10 crore and 31 are worth more than Rs 1 crore each.

Also, 118 current employees (almost one-fourth of the overall employee base) have become rupee millionaires, highlighting the company’s philosophy of ensuring equitable participation as opposed to just focusing on the leadership team, Taku said.

“The cumulative wealth creation for the employees currently stands at Rs 3 billion. With the company’s upcoming IPO, these employees are set to reap in a windfall,” she added.

Kotak Mahindra Bank forays into healthcare lending; not to use RBI’s liquidity window, BFSI News, ET BFSI

Kotak Mahindra Bank on Tuesday announced its foray into the healthcare lending space, where it will be taking exposures of up to Rs 15 crore apiece. The private sector lender, however, will not be seeking funds from the Reserve Bank’s on-tap liquidity scheme for the sector, as its cost of funds is very low, its President and Head of Business Banking Assets, Sunil Daga, said.

In May this year, the RBI had announced an on-tap liquidity window of Rs 50,000 crore for on-lending by banks to the healthcare sector, where they can take exposures of up to three years and access funding at the repo rate.

Daga said the bank’s cost of funds is “very competitive” and hence, it will not be accessing the RBI window. Even without the central bank’s special window, the business is exciting, he added.

Till now, Kotak Mahindra Bank had been providing funds to the healthcare sector but now it has a focused offering, Daga said, adding that the business will be part of its consumer segment.

Daga declined to specify the size of its current healthcare book, but added that it was miniscule. Now, the bank has created a dedicated pan-India team to cater to this business.

It will take exposures ranging from healthcare-related loans for an individual, to long-term project lending for doctors building healthcare infrastructure, he said, adding that single exposure can go up to Rs 15 crore.

The bank is targeting to start with signing up 100 customers a month and will be aiming to take it up to 500 a month, Daga said.

The loans will be both secured as well as unsecured, and also include a quick approval for exposures up to Rs 50 lakh, the bank said in a statement.

The loan tenure will be between 12 to 84 months, while the loan to value ratio can go up to 85 per cent, as per its website.
