Dodla Dairy

ICICI Securities has a ‘Buy’ rating on Dodla Diary for a target price of Rs. 700, the last traded price of Rs.618 per share.

Dairy: One of the fastest-growing industries in India

According to ICICI Securities, Between FY15 and FY21, the Indian dairy industry grew at a CAGR of 9% in value terms. The primary growth drivers are steady nominal GDP growth, market share gains from the unorganized sector, and increased demand for value-added products. We anticipate that, in the medium to long term, expanding population, growth of HoReCa, and rising demand for milk as a source of protein will help the dairy sector sustain robust growth rates.

Valuation

“We value Dodla on DCF-basis arriving at a target price of Rs700. As per reverse DCF (assuming cost of equity at 11.3% and terminal growth at 4%), the company needs to achieve an EBITDA CAGR of 12% over FY21-FY32E. The EBITDA CAGR over FY11- 21 was 29.4%.

We model revenue and PAT CAGRs of 14.2% and 17.6%, respectively, over FY21-FY23E. We forecast RoE to be upwards of 17% in FY23E. We initiate coverage on the stock with a BUY rating and DCF-based target price of Rs700 (24x FY23E),” the brokerage has said.

Chalet Hotels

Chalet Hotels

IDBI Capital has a ‘Buy’ rating on Chalet Hotels for a target price of Rs. 295, the last traded price of Rs.206 per share with a potential upside of 43%.

Strong positioning in high-end branded hotels in key business cities

According to IDBI Capital, Following a large revenue loss in FY21, the domestic hotel business is likely to rebound better in FY22, aided by a vaccination drive and pent-up demand in the leisure travel sector. To run its hotels under high-end worldwide names, the company has worked with well-known global hospitality giants such as “J W Marriott” and “The Accor.”

Valuation

“We expect on a low base of FY21, net sales to grow at a CAGR of 68% over FY21-24E supported by net sales CAGR of 77% and 42% in hotels and retail-commercial segment respectively. Cost optimization measures and increasing share of high margin commercial segment will drive EBITDA CAGR of 341% over the same period.

We believe Chalet is poised to benefit from multiple levers viz active asset management of the assets, inventory addition in the hotel and commercial segment, mixed-use of retail-commercial properties, inorganic growth opportunities, and value unlocking opportunities in the Koramangla project. BUY with a TP of Rs295,” the brokerage has said.

Buy This Housing Finance Company Stock, Says Motilal Oswal

Special home loan rates to push demand, says Motilal Oswal

According to the brokerage the company extended its lowest home loan rate of 6.66% for the festive season to borrowers having a CIBIL score of 700 and above, for loans up to Rs 20 million (the earlier limit was Rs 5 million).

“By segmenting borrowers based on their CIBIL score, irrespective of the category of employment, LIC Housing Finance aims to cater to a larger borrower base. This move is in tune with the demand for larger spaces and affordability, and good traction for loans in the ticket size of Rs 5million to 20 million,” the brokerage has said.

Disbursement growth to pick up

Disbursement growth to pick up

According to Motilal Oswal, the retail home loan demand was impacted by localized lockdowns in 1QFY22.

“Nevertheless, individual Home loan disbursements comprehensively exceeded YoY levels. We expect pent-up demand to be pronounced in the remaining nine months of the current fiscal year, leading to healthy growth in disbursements for FY22. We expect 11% loan book CAGR over FY21-24E. Since Jun’21 there has been an improvement in economic activity, and collection efficiency has also improved to 98%, which is encouraging. The sharp rise in Stage 3 loans is concerning. The same got exacerbated due to the impact of the second COVID wave. We now estimate a credit cost of 85bp/60bp in FY22E/FY23E,” the brokerage has said.

Partnership to augur well for LIC Housing Finance

Partnership to augur well for LIC Housing Finance

India Post Payments Bank and LIC Housing Finance recently announced a strategic partnership for providing Home loan products to over 45 million customers of India Post Payments Bank. “Through its robust and extensive network of 650 branches and more than 136,000 banking access points, India Post Payments Bank will make LIC Housing Finance’s Home loan products accessible to its customer’s pan-India. The alliance will also provide LIC Housing Finance’s access to India Post Payments Bank’s on-ground workforce of nearly 200,000 postal employees that are equipped with micro ATMs and biometric devices through its innovative Doorstep Banking Service. This will play a significant role in offering LIC Housing Finance Housing loans,” the brokerage has said.

Valuation and view

Valuation and view

With the completion of the preferential equity allotment to its promoter LIC, the capitalization/leverage concerns for LIC Housing Finance now been ironed out. “Given its parentage, it has been able to raise debt capital at low rates, which should keep margin healthy in a highly competitive environment. While asset quality pain has been pronounced so far, we draw comfort from LIC Housing Finance’s ability to source low-cost liabilities, favorable Housing Finance cycle, and 11-12% RoE. While we expect FY22E to be impacted, we estimate ~1.1%/12% RoA/RoE in FY23E, after having penciled in the preferential allotment of fresh equity shares to the promoter. We maintain our Buy rating with a target price of Rs 525 pe rshare (1.1x FY23E BVPS),” the brokerage has said.

SEBI tightens risk management rules for mutual funds

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


India’s market regulator on Monday tightened risk management rules for mutual funds,including specifying guidelines to identify, measure and report various risks, in an effort to protect the interest of investors in a fast-growing industry.

The new rules mandate the appointment of a chief risk officer, creation of risk management committees and maintaining metrics such as investment risk, liquidity risk and credit risk for each scheme, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) said.

The new framework comes a month after it barred Kotak Mahindra Asset Management, one of the country’s largest mutual fund managers, from launching any fixed maturity plans (FMPs) for six months and fined it for breaking rules.

SEBI also barred Franklin Templeton in India in June from launching any new debt schemes for two years after it found”serious lapses and violations” at the firm when it decided to suddenly shut several schemes. Franklin has appealed against the decision, but agreed it would not launch any new debt funds for the time being.

In its new rules on Monday, SEBI provided detailed guidelines on the risk management roles for an asset management company’s board, trustees, chief executive officer, chief investment officer, other senior officials and fund managers.

The mutual fund industry has grown rapidly in India,especially with interest from retail investors in systematic investment plans that allow investment of a fixed amount regularly in schemes.

Assets managed by India’s mutual fund houses have increased to about 36 trillion rupees ($487.72 billion) in August from nearly 28 trillion rupees a year earlier, according to the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI).

SEBI said fund houses have to adhere to the new risk management rules from January 1 and review their compliance every year.

IL&FS Financial Services to sell bad loans worth Rs 4000 crore, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


IL&FS Financial Services, an arm of IL&FS, has put on the block Rs 4,297 crore of loans that have been classified as non-performing assets. The finance company has said that the 62 loans will be sold all together for an upfront cash payment. Interested parties have been given until October 19 to submit a binding bid.

Last week, the RBI allowed lenders to sell even those loan accounts that have been classified as fraudulent. The loans that IL&FS is trying to sell are those advanced to third-parties that are not part of the group. The financial services arm has also advanced loans to group companies which are non-performing.

According to sources, the scope of recovery in these loans is limited. In July the board had said that it expects to recover Rs 58,000 crore or 95% of the recovery target by March 2022. The group’s overall debt stood at Rs 99,000 crore as of October 2018, of which it expects to recover Rs 61,000 crore.

A presentation on the recovery update filed by IL&FS said the corporation plans to recover Rs 2,250 crore after September 2021. This included the recovery from sale of IFIN NPAs, recoveries from non-group investments, and release of non-fund-based limits.

Banks have classified loans to IFIN as fraud. The Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) had observed shortcomings in the operations, risk management and compliance of the company for years.

Gold prices dip on rising dollar, bond yields, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Gold prices eased on Tuesday, hurt by a stronger dollar and rising U.S. Treasury yields, while investors awaited more cues from Federal Reserve officials on the central bank’s monetary policy shift.

FUNDAMENTALS

* Spot gold fell 0.1% to $1,748.01 per ounce by 0115 GMT, while U.S. gold futures were down 0.3% to $1,747.50.

* The dollar index was up 0.1%, making gold more expensive for holders of other currencies.

* Overnight, benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yields rose to their highest level in three months.

* U.S. Federal Reserve officials on Monday tied reduction in the Fed’s monthly bond purchases to continued job growth, with a September employment report now a potential trigger for the central bank’s bond “taper.”

* Fed Chair Jerome Powell is due to testify later in the day before Congress on the central bank’s policy response to the pandemic.

* In prepared remarks, Powell said the U.S. central bank would move against unchecked inflation if needed.

* While gold is often considered a hedge against higher inflation, a rate hike would increase the opportunity cost of holding gold, which pays no interest.

* China’s central bank vowed to protect consumers exposed to the housing market on Monday and injected more cash into the banking system as the Shenzhen government began investigating the wealth management unit of ailing developer Evergrande.

* SPDR Gold Trust, the world’s largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, said its holdings fell 0.3% to 990.32 on Monday.

* Poland’s central bank has more than 230 tonnes of gold and plans to expand its reserves, the head of Poland’s Central Bank said on Monday.

* Silver fell 0.8% to $22.47 per ounce.

* Platinum dropped 0.5% to $976.07, while palladium was down 0.6% at $1,952.44.

Top corporates, banks go big on ‘swaption’ deals, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


MUMBAI: Top private and foreign lenders and corporates including ICICI Bank, IndusInd Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, HSBC and Reliance Industries, are cutting ‘swaption‘ deals, a risk-focused interest-rates derivative product introduced about a month ago, multiple people familiar with the matter told ET.

In the past six weeks, the notional value of transactions rose to Rs 1,900 crore on the platform, which helps both local borrowers and investors to rein in funding costs in a rising rate scenario and retain investment returns in a falling rate cycle.

To be sure, the data available with the Clearing Corporation of India point to only interbank transactions and exclude corporate client statistics, which can be meaningful but not yet made public.

“Swaptions have begun to gain traction as a derivative instrument to help manage interest rate risks more effectively,” said B Prasanna, Group Head, Global Markets, Sales, Trading and Research, ICICI Bank. “While we and some banks have already started dealing in this instrument, others are setting up the infrastructure. The product should be a success with participation from both banks and end-users, such as corporates.”
Top corporates, banks go big on ‘swaption’ deals
HDFC Bank seems keen on swaption. Besides Reliance, some other large corporates are also said to be interested in swaption deals.

Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank and IndusInd Bank did not reply to ET’s query.

“We expect demand for interest rate swaptions from domestic clients to continue to grow,” said Parul Mittal Sinha, Head – Financial Markets, India Standard Chartered Bank. “In the current macroeconomic backdrop, demand for interest rate swaptions should probably see an increase as they provide an additional avenue for flexibly hedging interest-rate risks.”

Swaptions are based on OIS (Overnight Indexed Swap), which is a relatively liquid instrument that potentially offers good enough scope for hedging.

“Interest rate risk management has to be an active part of any financial institution’s asset-liability management,” said Ashish Vaidya, head of treasury and markets at DBS Bank India. “If the regulatory framework moves toward mark-to-market practices, then the dynamics of portfolio management will be required.”

This, in turn, will pave the way for a more liquid and vibrant swaption market, he said.

A swaption gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to enter into an interest rate swap. Banks and primary dealers will likely be involved in market making along with corporates.

“We have executed a couple of interest rate options (IROs) products…,” said Pradeep Khanna, Interim Head of Markets, HSBC India. “With time, we hope the depth of the markets increase so as to enable constituents to have one more product to manage INR interest rate risks on an ongoing basis.”

Issuers selling bonds with put options that get exercised in rising interest rate markets now have a tool to protect them.

If a borrower raises local bonds with a ‘put’ option, investors could well surrender those papers in rising interest rate scenarios, forcing a borrower to issue new bonds at higher rates.

This is where the utility comes in for a borrower if it buys a swaption contract. That will protect the borrower against any rate losses in case investors exercise the put option on the bonds.

The reverse is also true in case bonds issued with call options.
