Buy This Gas Distribution Company Stock, It Can Gain 35% From Current Levels

[ad_1]

Buy the stock for an upside target of 35%

The brokerage sees an upside target of nearly 35% on the stock of Gujarat Gas from the current levels of around Rs 630.

Estimates on financials of Gujarat Gas, Rs in Billion

FY 2022 (e) FY 2023 (e)
Revenues 124.9 Rs 187
Net profits Rs 13.8 Rs 19.7
EPS Rs 20 Rs 28.6
Book value per share Rs 83.1 Rs 108.80
RoE 27.00% 29.80%

Target price of Rs 850 on the stock of Gujarat Gas

Target price of Rs 850 on the stock of Gujarat Gas

The sharp hike in gas prices by Gujarat Gas clearly indicates the company would try to protect its margins even in adverse situations, Motilal Oswal has said in its report. “On the contrary, since CNG impacts the lower strata of the economic population, we expect margin contraction in the CNG segment for all city gas distribution. Gujarat is home to five industrial clusters, classified as ‘severely/critically polluted’ in terms of air pollution. As we emerge from the COVID pandemic, we expect to see stricter norms implemented in these industrial clusters, which may raise Gujarat Gas’ volume prospects,” the brokerage has said.

“Gujarat Gas trades at 22 times FY23 EPS. On strong volume prospects, we value the company at 28x Sep’23 EPS; we re-iterate Buy, with target price of Rs 850,” Motilal Oswal has said in its report.

According to the brokerage the volume potential for Gujarat Gas remains the best among the city gas distribution companies owing to its highest exposure in the Industrial segment. “The recent Supreme Court order in favor of the company for Ahmedabad rural further presents the prospect of 0.8-1mmscmd over the next 2-3 years,” the brokerage has said.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has, by an order dated October 05, 2021, imposed a monetary penalty of ₹1.00 lakh (Rupees one lakh only) on The Kheda People’s Co-operative Bank Ltd., Kheda (Gujarat) (the bank) for contravention of directions issued by RBI on ‘Loans and advances to directors, relatives and firms/ concerns in which they are interested’. This penalty has been imposed in exercise of powers vested in RBI under the provisions of Section 47 A (1) (c) read with Section 46 (4) (i) and Section 56 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, taking into account the failure of the bank to adhere to the aforesaid directions issued by RBI.

This action is based on deficiencies in regulatory compliance and is not intended to pronounce upon the validity of any transaction or agreement entered into by the bank with its customers.

Background

The statutory inspection of the bank conducted by the RBI with reference to the bank’s financial position as on March 31, 2019, the Inspection Report pertaining thereto and examination of all related correspondence revealed, inter alia, non-compliance with aforesaid directions issued by the RBI. In furtherance to the same, a notice was issued to the bank advising it to show cause as to why penalty should not be imposed for non-compliance with the aforesaid directions issued by the RBI. After considering the bank’s reply to the notice and oral submissions made during the personal hearing, the RBI came to the conclusion that the aforesaid charge was substantiated and warranted imposition of monetary penalty.

Visa has launched a Card-on-File tokenisation service for e-commerce players Grofers, BigBasket and MakeMyTrip. The Reserve Bank of India’s CoF tokenisation guidelines mandate replacing the actual card data with encrypted digital tokens, which are then used to facilitate and authenticate transactions.

“Card-on-File (CoF) tokenisation provides two key benefits — consumer and ecosystem security and an enhanced checkout experience. Launched in partnership with Juspay, India’s first CoF tokenisation service is now available across e-commerce leaders such as Grofers, BigBasket and MakeMyTrip,” it said in a statement on Wednesday.

Secure payments

“Having launched CoF tokenisation services in over 130 countries globally, we are confident of the technology’s ability to build a safe, secure and seamless environment for digital payments. This will be critical in building consumer trust on merchant platforms and reassure them of the safety of their payment credentials on these platforms,” said TR Ramachandran, Group Country Manager, India and South Asia, Visa.

Also see: ADIF is hopeful of further consultation with RBI on tokenisation

Visa has enabled all its banking partners for tokenisation and is working closely with merchants, payment aggregators and gateways to ready the ecosystem for CoF tokenisation rollout, he added.

Tokenisation guidelines have to be met by January 1, 2022.

Dear All




Welcome to the refurbished site of the Reserve Bank of India.

We will now use Twitter (albeit one way) to send out alerts on the announcements we make and YouTube to place in public domain our press conferences, interviews of our top management, events, such as, town halls and of course, some films aimed at consumer literacy.




The site can be accessed through most browsers and devices; it also meets accessibility standards.

Who should consider investing in Equity Savings Funds?

Who should consider investing in Equity Savings Funds?

Equity Savings Funds are handled similarly to equity-oriented balanced funds, with equities up to 65 percent of the portfolio. The sole difference between balanced funds and equity savings funds is that a portion of the equity allocation may be hedged using derivatives, thus the overall equity exposure may not reflect the underlying risk profile of the fund.

These funds are ideal for investors who want equity exposure but don’t have the time to commit to a long-term investment strategy. Unlike other equity investments, these are low-risk funds that are meant to bear specified returns. Furthermore, despite the fact that they are not required to, few of these funds seek to offer monthly dividend income to investors.

Global rating firm Moody’s has affirmed the long-term local and foreign current deposit
ratings of Axis Bank, HDFC Bank, ICICI and State Bank of India at Baa3, following sovereign rating action. At the same time, their rating outlooks have been changed to stable from negative.

This rating action is driven by Moody’s recent affirmation of the Indian government’s Baa3 issuer rating and change in outlook to stable from negative.

Moody’s also affirmed the long-term local and foreign currency deposit ratings of Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank, Punjab National Bank and Union Bank of India. The rating outlooks of these banks has also been changed to stable from negative.

“The affirmation of Axis, ICICI, HDFC Bank and SBI’s deposit ratings and change in outlook to stable follows the change in outlook on the sovereign rating to stable,” Moody’s said in a statement. “The mail previous negative outlook on the sovereign rating drove the negative
outlook on these banks, because of strong linkages to the sovereign credit profile.”

The rating agency highlighted that the affirmation of state-run banks, reflect the fact that despite the significant economic challenges since the onset of the pandemic, their asset quality has only deteriorated modestly while capital has improved.

“Corporate asset quality has improved as legacy issues have been resolved while deterioration in retail asset quality was relatively moderate,” the agency said. Asset quality will further improve if economic activity continues to normalise.”
