Results Update 3FYQuart2013

Infotech Enterprises 
For 3QFY2013, Infotech Enterprises (Infotech) reported a muted set of results, with almost negligible volume growth. The quarter witnessed challenges in two of the top 10 client accounts. These two accounts (one in heavy engineering and one in hi-tech) resulted in a revenue impact of -4.2% qoq. The management had cut its FY2013 USD revenue growth guidance to less than 11% from 11-14% earlier in constant currency terms. To achieve it, the company faces an ask rate of 10%+ in 4QFY2012 which looks unachievable. The key reason for it being the extended furloughs seen by the company and ramp down in one of its top 10 accounts. The company has been making investments to strengthen its product portfolio and is taking initiatives to improve its financial metrics. The company is now focusing on strengthening its leadership along with improving its systems and processes and making them scalable. We expect an  USD revenue growth of 7.1% yoy for FY2013. Over FY2012-14E, we expect the company to post a USD and INR revenue CAGR of 6.6% and 13.1%, respectively. We expect EBITDA and PAT CAGR to be at 13.1% and 15.1%, respectively, over FY2012-14E.

South Indian Bank

South Indian Bank (SIB) reported a strong performance for 3QFY2013, with operating profit growth of 31.5% yoy. On  the  earnings  front,  growth  came  in relatively lower at 25.4% yoy, as the bank doubled its provisioning to  `45cr, thereby improving its low PCR by 735bp to 58.6%.After witnessing higher slippages in 2QFY2013, which were mostly one-off in nature, the asset quality for the bank has normalized during the quarter. The stock currently trades at 1.2x FY2014E ABV, which is cheaper than its peers, despite having delivered better return ratios.

Bajaj Auto
Bajaj Auto (BJAUT) posted an in-line operating and bottom-line performance for 3QFY2013; nevertheless, the bottom-line was aided by higher other income. Going ahead, we expect export volumes to recover gradually and also expect domestic volumes to benefit from the new launches (Pulsar 200NS, Discover 125 ST and Discover 100T). We lower our earnings estimate for FY2013 marginally as we lower our volume estimates. We now expect FY2013 volumes to grow by 0.9% as against 2.1% estimated earlier. We believe that the current valuation of 16.2x FY2014E earnings factors in the recovery in earnings growth in FY2014 led by growth in export volumes and benefits of favorable currency.

Fundamentals April 30, 2013

Nik's Diary The Indian markets opened in the green following strong start to SGX Nifty and major Asian indices after better-than-expected reading on US housing sales and amid speculation that central banks will continue the stimulation measures. The US markets ended on a positive note on Monday with S&P 500 closing at a record high as traders reacted positively to the latest batch of economic news. The strength on Wall Street reflected a positive reaction to a report from the National Association of Realtors showing a bigger than expected rebound in pending home sales in the month of March. The pending home sales index rose by 1.5% in March 2013 after falling by 1% in February 2013. A separate report from the Commerce Department showed that personal spending climbed 0.2% in March 2013 following a 0.7% increase in February 2013. Meanwhile in India, renewed hopes of an interest rate cut at the RBI's monetary policy meet that is scheduled on May 3 helped stocks close high...

Trade deficit for November at USD9.2bn led by lower imports

According to provisional data released by the commerce ministry, the trade deficit for November 2013 has narrowed to USD9.2bn as against USD10.6bn in the previous month and USD17.2bn in November 2012 mainly on account of a sharp decline in imports. Imports reported a contraction of 16.4% during November 2013 as against 14.5% in the previous month and growth of 3.5% in November 2012. However, the momentum of strong export performance witnessed over the past four months slowed in November 2013, with export growth at 5.9% as compared to 13.5% in October 2013. The decline in imports for the sixth consecutive month can be attributed to the steep contraction in non-oil imports due to restrictions on gold imports as well as the impact of weak domestic demand in the economy. Non oil imports reported de-growth of 23.7% as compared to 22.8% in the previous month and oil imports came in lower by 1.1% as compared to growth of 1.7% in the ...

You are still helping by fearing and staying away from equity investing !!!

Yes it is true. Retail investors help markets and its participants more by staying out than by investing in equities itself. Hence optimists like me, do not mind retail investors doing everything else other than investing in equity markets.  Let me tell you how it helps us. 1. Keeping your money in low interest bearing savings accounts will help banks raise cheap funds. In such a way you earn taxable 9% per year in fixed deposits and 4 % in saving accounts, whereas we  continue accumulating multi lac crore banks like HDFCBank, AxisBank, ICICIBank, SBI and like, which are up by any multiple between 3.5 times to 11 times since December 2008. Also, by paying all your EMI installments on time would help private banks stay out of trouble and we shall continue investing in banking sector with of course proper investment plans and goals. This is something retail investors lack and often end up burning their fingers. 2. Retail investors are more or less out of the mark...
