India received $87 billion in remittances in 2021; US is the top source
[ad_1]
Read More/Less
India received $87 billion in remittances in 2021, and the United States was the biggest source, accounting for over 20 per cent of these funds, the World Bank said in its latest report on Wednesday.
“Flows to India (the world’s largest recipient of remittances) are expected to reach $87 billion, a gain of 4.6 per cent — with the severity of Covid-19 caseloads and deaths during the second quarter (well above the global average) playing a prominent role in drawing altruistic flows (including for the purchase of oxygen tanks) to the country,” the World Bank report stated.
Growth in reminttances
India is followed by China, Mexico, the Philippines, and Egypt, the report said. In India, remittances are projected to grow three per cent in 2022 to $89.6 billion, reflecting a drop in overall migrant stock, as a large proportion of returnees from the Arab countries await return, it said.
Remittances to low and middle income countries are projected to have grown a strong 7.3 per cent to reach $589 billion in 2021, the bank said.
This return to growth is more robust than earlier estimates and follows the resilience of flows in 2020 when remittances declined by only 1.7 per cent despite a severe global recession due to Covid-19, according to estimates from the World Bank’s Migration and Development Brief.
“Remittance flows from migrants have greatly complemented government cash transfer programs to support families suffering economic hardships during the Covid-19 crisis. Facilitating the flow of remittances to provide relief to strained household budgets should be a key component of government policies to support a global recovery from the pandemic,” said Michal Rutkowski, World Bank Global Director for Social Protection and Jobs.
India had received over $83 billion in remittances in 2020.

2QFY22 results of Britannia Industries
IDBI Capital in its research has said that “Britannia (BRIT) 2QFY22 result was below our estimates. Revenue growth at 6%YoY on a high base of 12% is healthy. However, a steep contraction in gross margin led to a higher than expected decline in PAT. Positively, BRIT expects to offset the impact of inflation both by taking price hikes (to the tune of 1/3rd) and grammage reduction (2/3rd) by the end of FY22. During 2QFY22 BRIT has taken a 4% price hike and expects benefit from grammage reduction to flow in 2HFY22.”
The brokerage has also clarified that “Distribution expansion is tracking well. BRIT expects rural to outperform urban through distribution expansion and penetration. In rural; market share gains stood at 2.5x vs urban during 2QFY22. Modern trade grew 10% higher than traditional channels. However, the company expects lower volume growth due to inflation and reduction in grammage during 2HFY22.”
Key highlights and investment rationale for Britannia Industries according to IDBI Capital
Domestic business remained resilient: Consolidated revenue grew 6%YoY (on a base of 12%YoY in 2QFY21) driven by 6%YoY growth in the domestic business while revenue from subsidiaries (consolidated less standalone) declined 5%YoY. BRIT has taken a 4% price hike during the quarter. In the international market; Nepal grew in high double digits led by market share gains.
Inflationary raw material impacts operating margins: Gross margin contracted 502bp to 37.5% driven by material inflation in palm oil (54%YoY), industrial fuel (35% YoY) and packaging material (30%YoY). EBITDA declined 17%YoY to Rs 5.6bn. A decline in Adjusted PAT at 23%YoY is higher due to Rs 350mn tax benefit in the base quarter.
Maintain BUY: As per the revised business outlook on inflation; we have trimmed our EPS estimate by 6- 13% in FY22-23E. We have introduced FY24E in our estimates. We maintain our bullish view on the company. Our revised TP stands at Rs 4507 with a BUY rating.
Q2FY22 results of RITES
According to the brokerage’s research report “RITES (RITE) Q2FY22, PAT came 14%/ 20% higher than our / consensus estimate.

Here revenue stood at Rs3410mn vs Rs7mn QoQ vs nil YoY, RITE expects its FY22E revenue and PAT to reach FY20 levels and FY23E to witness growth in the business. Q2FY22 order inflow is at Rs2.6bn and Order book at Rs64bn equals 3x TTM Revenue.”
IDBI Capital has stated in its research report that “RITE has announced a second interim dividend of Rs4/sh for FY22 and till date dividend announced is at Rs6 for FY22. We have introduced FY24E financials and rolled forward TP to FY24E at Rs369 (valued at 12x PER). Maintain BUY rating on the valuation (trades at its historical average at 10x FY24E EPS) and a dividend yield of 7-8%.”
Key highlights and investment rationale for RITES according to IDBI Capital
Q2FY22 Snapshot: Q2FY22 Revenue stood at Rs7.6bn (+72%YoY / +113% QoQ). This is led by better higher Exports revenue at Rs3.4bn vs Rs7mn QoQ.

PAT stood at Rs1.7bn (+32% YoY / +124% QoQ).
Order book provided visibility: H1FY22 Order book is at Rs64bn (equals 3x TTM Revenue) comprising of Consultancy /Exports/ Lease/ Turnkey/ REMC at Rs2.5bn /Rs10bn/ Rs1bn/ Rs28bn/ Rs1bn. New opportunity is expected from metro consultancy order and 2-3 international orders of USD100mn each.

Buy IPCA Laboratories for a price target of Rs. 2490
The fully integrated pharma entity manufactures more than 350 formulations and 80 APIs. In Fy21, exports accounted for 50% of the company’s revenues. The company’s leading therapeutic domains cover pain management, cardiovascular and anti-diabetics, anti-infectives, anti-malarials that on a whole contribute to 75% revenues.
Q2FY22 Results:
Despite the challenges the company reported a decent September quarter of Fy22 period. Sales came in higher by 13.5% YoY to Rs. 1544.4 crore. EBITDA also registered a surge of 1.5% YoY at Rs. 365.6 crore
with margins at 23.7%.Furthermore, PAT was at Rs. 250.2 crore (down 6.3% YoY).
Target Price and Valuation:
We value Ipca at Rs. 2490 i.e. 26x P/E on FY23E EPS. “We Maintain BUY due to good traction in domestic formulations and sustainable growth amid some margin pressure in medium term”, says the brokerage.
Key triggers for future price performance:
• Incremental growth in other therapies (excluding malaria), especially non-communicable diseases like pain management, cardio-diabetology, etc, the
overall portfolio is poised for steady growth.
• Sustained traction from branded and generics exports sales with a revival in EU is likely to mitigate the US void.
• Commissioning of Devas plant and additional capacities from Ratlam.
• US traction will take longer due to USFDA import alerts for the Ratlam facility that is the only API source for Silvassa and Pithampur formulations.
Alternate Stock Idea:
Besides Ipca, in the healthcare segment, ICICI Direct likes Ajanta Pharma. “Ajanta Pharma is a focused player in branded, which constitutes appx.70% of overall sales that are spread across geographies including India. Focus is launching maximum number of first time launches with new drug delivery system (NDDS)”, says the brokerage house. The company recommends buying Ajanta with target price of Rs. 2500, implying returns of 18 percent as against the last traded price of Rs. 2120.

Buy HCL Technologies With A Target Price of INR 1,430: Motilal Oswal

Motilal Oswal’s take on HCL Technologies
The brokerage has said in its research report that “We expect the robust performance in HCL’s Services business, especially the ER&D vertical, to continue as the demand environment remains favorable. We also draw comfort from improving management commentary on continued growth momentum in the IT Services business. Sustainable demand momentum for Cloud and Digital Engineering benefits HCLT, given its large presence within IMS and ER&D and continued investments in capabilities. Strong headcount additions and deal wins reflect the management’s confidence in the sustainable growth momentum.”
According to Motilal Oswal “We continue to see potential in HCLT’s Products and Platforms business. While the recent departure of the head of Products has elevated concerns on business recovery. However, we don’t see a meaningful risk of a further hit from this event, our sensitivity analysis (Exhibit 7) suggests a limited impact on EPS even in a bear case (4% decline in revenue for the Products and Platforms business in FY23E would lead to a 2.6% drag on our EPS estimate).”
The brokerage has also claimed that “On a combined basis, HCLT should deliver USD revenue growth of 13.1% over FY21-23E. We expect the EBIT margin to stabilize at 20% in FY23E, which should help it deliver 14.3% PAT CAGR over FY21-23E. The company has been constantly improving its shareholder payouts. It has recently announced a dividend payout policy, which implies a distribution of at least 75% of net income over a five-year period. The management has revised its quarterly dividends to INR10/share (from INR6/share) for FY22. The quarterly DPS has been continuously moving up to INR10/share in 2QFY22 v/s INR1/share (adjusted for the stock split) in FY19.”
“The 75% payout ratio would be the highest in the past 15 years. We see this commitment as a strategic shift to focus on organic growth and limit inorganic
investments to bolt-on and capability-based acquisitions (v/s large revenue accretive acquisitions)” the brokerage further said in its research report.
What should investors do?
Motilal Oswal in its research report has said that “Given its deep capabilities in IMS and strategic partnerships, investments in Cloud, and Digital capabilities, we expect HCLT to emerge stronger on the back of an expected increase in enterprise demand for these services. The stock is currently trading ~20.1x FY23E EPS, which offers a margin of safety. Our TP is based on 25x FY23E EPS. We maintain our Buy rating as we expect traction in the Services business in 2HFY22E and FY23E, driven by higher IMS/Cloud-focused deals.”

Small finance banks, microlenders stay away from IPO party, BFSI News, ET BFSI
[ad_1]
Read More/Less
Kolkata: While Nykaa, Paytm and Policybazaar are the toast of the primary equity market now, lenders to the bottom of the pyramid which had earlier lured investors for their capacity to earn high margins remain laggards.
Half-a-dozen entities in the small finance bank and microfinance space that have received approval for raising funds through initial public offerings appear to be going slow because of valuation issues, people familiar with the matter said.
Among small finance banks, ESAF, Jana, Fincare and Utkarsh are said to be weighing investor interest for their proposed IPOs. Utkarsh Small Finance Bank received Securities & Exchange Board of India’s approval for IPO in June, Jana SFB got it in July and Fincare in August. ESAF Small Finance Bank received the regulator’s approval in October for the second time, after the one-year validity on the first lapsed in March.
Microfinance firm Arohan Financial Services received Sebi approval in April but has yet to hit the market. Northern Arc Capital, a non-bank lender with exposure to the financial inclusion space, got the approval in September.
“Many Lenders including those in the microfinance industry are not getting the kind of investor interest or valuation seen for primary issues of fintech firms,” said Donald D’Souza, managing director & co-head (investment banking) at Equirus.
“Some of these firms have done a few roadshows but have failed to attract investors at higher valuation. That’s the reason why some of these lenders are not seen in the IPO market despite the bull run. Even some small finance banks, which need to be listed within a specified time frame to meet regulations, are yet to be seen in this space,” D’Souza said.
Investors are apparently exercising caution as micro lenders are saddled with concerns over asset quality, high credit cost and squeezed margin following the pandemic-led stress on their borrowers.
The portfolio at risk for 30 days (PAR30+) for the microfinance sector remained high at 10.18% at the end of September, even after showing a sharp improvement from 16.56% three months earlier.
“The new-age companies are mostly making merry in the season of IPOs since investors are ready to pay huge premiums for new business models and fresh ideas. The party is on at least till Christmas. The valuations however are relatively muted for lending companies as investors are comparing them with the existing secondary market prices in the same segment,” said Dinesh Arora, partner and leader (deals) at PwC India.
As many as 52 companies have mobilised Rs 1.08 lakh crore from primary issuances in 2021 so far compared with Rs 26,600 crore raised by 15 companies last year. Foreign portfolio investors are said to have invested more than Rs 46,000 crore in IPOs this year.
Microfinance association Sa-Dhan said the average collection efficiency has increased to more than 95% in the quarter through September from 85% in the preceding quarter, even as 13 states and union territories including Chhattisgarh, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal have their PAR30+ value higher than the industry average.

Punjab & Sind Bank adjusts net loss for FY21 at Rs 2,750 cr after divergence in asset classification, BFSI News, ET BFSI

Public sector Punjab & Sind Bank (P&SB) on Wednesday said it has adjusted the net loss for fiscal ended March 2021 slightly higher at Rs 2,750 crore due to divergence in asset classification. The bank had reported a net loss of Rs 2,733 crore in 2020-21.
Whereas the bank reported gross non-performing assets (NPAs) at Rs 9,334 crore, the Reserve Bank assessed it at Rs 9,363 crore, thus leading to a divergence of Rs 29 crore.
Similarly, the net NPAs too had a divergence of Rs 29 crore.
Based on the difference of the provisions for NPAs reported by the bank and that assessed by the RBI, the divergence in provisioning for the financial year 2020-21 stood at Rs 17 crore.
The adjusted (notional) net profit after tax (PAT) for the year ended March 31, 2021, after taking into account the divergence in provisioning stood at Rs 2,750 crore, the bank said in a regulatory filing.
The bank published the divergence in asset classification and provisioning in accordance with RBI’s Risk Assessment Report as on March 31, 2021.
