risk, compliance and transaction management solutions to the north American mortgage market.

depending on how Digital Risk’s revenue and margins ramp up.

Management expects Digital Risk’s CY12 revenue to be USD127million, which implies 60% y-y growth

Digital Risk has increased revenue at a three-year CAGR of 70%.

Tata Steel


Buy rating on Tata Steel is reiterated with a target price of Rs.489 over one year.

The main concern on Tata Steel has been the extent of weakness in Europe. But the current 
perception is that even in the midst of current weakness, Corus should deliver USD 20-30 EBITDA / 
ton versus the earlier estimate of USD 28 EBITDA / ton.

Margins should improve further in 2HFY13 with the Pt Talbot rebuild and easing in China.

With upward re-pricing of contracts in 1QFY13, Corus ASP (average sales price) have improved USD 
20-25/ ton qoq. With the decline in coking coal prices, Corus should comfortably deliver USD 20-30 
EBITDA / ton in 1QFY13.

Comments from other European steel makers also suggest a clear upturn in 2Q12 margins versus 
1Q12 levels.

The stock has been trading close to its trough valuation. It is expected that the stock would reverse its 
year to date de-rating driven by 2H12 policy easing in China and Europe.

With the stock price implying almost no FY13 EBITDA margin for Corus, the risk-reward ratio is 
favorable.

Jamshedpur/ Benga ramp up and Pt Talbot rebuild are near term triggers for the stock.

2. EBIT missed market estimates buy EPS was in line with expectations due to higher other income.

3. The guidance for FY13 of USD revenue growth of 8-10% and EPS estimate of Rs.159 – Rs.161 looks 
poor.

5. Guidance for FY13 is with the anticipation of 0-1% qoq revenue growth in 1Q and 4-5% qoq revenue 
growth in 2Q –Q4.

6. Poor EPS outlook for FY13 does not factor in any wage hike and it is due to worries regarding poor

Tata Motor to hike vehicle price


Tata Motors has announced a hike of up to Rs35,000 on its commercial and passenger vehicles. 

“The price hike is proportionate to the increase in the corresponding excise duty announced in the Union Budget,” said a Tata Motors spokesperson. 

The budget hiked the excise duty from 10% to 12%. The company upped the prices on March 16. 

The increase in prices could be anywhere between Rs2,000 and Rs35,000 depending on the model, the spokesperson added. 

The passenger car segment will see a price hike of Rs2,000-8,000, while utility vehicle segment will see hikes in the Rs8,000-35,000 range. The company did not give details regarding model-wise hike in prices.

Hold Cairn India TP.342 rs.



  • Hike in cess from Rs.2500 to Rs.4500/ton seemed to have badly hit the upside in the stock price.


  • Delays in production approvals and the resultant restriction in production growth has also affected 

stock price movement.

  • Target price on the scrip has been revised to Rs.342 from Rs.327 on expectation of higher crude oil 

price and exchange rate benefit (Rs.50 /Dollar) and also considering negative impact of cess hike.

  • It seems that most of the positive catalysts are priced in at the current price and the potential upside 

lies with the reserve upgrade. But, this is unlikely in the near term.

  • The stock has solid fundamentals but it looks better to wait for a better entry point.

Recommendation: Buy
Price target: Rs250
Current market price: Rs221

Price target revised to Rs250

 A price increase of additional 7-9% in the cigarette portfolio will have an impact on the sales volume of ITC's cigarette business, resulting in flattish sales for a quarter or two. However, once the prices are absorbed in the market, we expect the volume growth to improve in the subsequent quarters. Hence, we have reduced our cigarette business' volume growth expectation for FY2013 to 3.5% from 6% earlier.

‘Buy’ maintained on Hindalco – TP reduced to Rs.179



Buy rating on Hindalco Industries is maintained with a target price of Rs.179 as against the earlier 
target price of Rs.186.

Though the company’s standalone performance was up to market expectations in 3QFY12, Novelis’
EBITDA missed expectations. Considering this along with lower metal prices, hardening rupee against 
USD, higher coal prices and slower execution of Mahan smelter, EPS estimates for FY12 has been 
reduced by 10 -17%. Hence, the target price is lowered to Rs.179.

Company’s standalone outperformance was driven by better than expected aluminium premium. 
However, cost pressure on domestic aluminium business still persists.

Start up Mahan smelter has been delayed.

Novelis’ volume and margin will recover but this may take 1-2 quarters.

It seems that the stock price would hinge on aluminium price recovery and timely execution of 
expansion projects.

Further delays in expansion projects and sharp increase in coal prices are downside risks.

‘Buy’ Yes Bank




  • Buy rating on Yes Bank is maintained with an increased target price of Rs.354 over one year. TP increased on upward revision of earnings prospects. The bank reported 3QFY12 net profit of Rs. 250 crore, which increased 32.9% yoy. Net interest income at Rs.430 crore is up 32.3% yoy.
  • Net interest margin (NIM) was flat at 2.8%v qoq.
  • Company’s earnings projections were revised upward by 8.4% for FY12, by 9.5% for FY13 and by 11.3% for FY14.
  • The bank could maintain margins as 38% of incremental deposits during the quarter were lower cost CASA deposits against 15% in 2QFY12.
  • The bank is expected to benefit from policy rate cut as wholesale deposits would get re-priced at lower rates.
  • Currently traded at 1.7 multiple of FY13 adjusted book value estimates. This valuation looks attractive for a bank with ROE estimate of 21% over FY12- 14.
  • Risks to the target price may arise from higher slippages in the SME and infrastructure space.

Axis Bank


Buy rating on Axis Bank is maintained with a higher target price of Rs.1186 over one year, as against 
the earlier target   price of Rs.1127.

The TP is hiked on upward revision of its earnings estimates on stable NIM and higher other income.
Earnings estimates for  FY12 have been hiked by 3.7% and by 4.6%, by 4.1% for FY13 & FY14 
respectively.

For 3QFY12, net profit at Rs.1100 crore increased 23.7% yoy. Net interest income at 2140 crore 
increased 23.5% yoy with stable net interest margin at 3.75%.

Slippages remained more or less stable at 1.7% and this seems to be a positive. Stressed assets were 
reported at Rs. 8-8.5billion. It would be a positive if this level could be maintained from going up.

The bank has added 34% of its current branch network during the last two years. Its benefits are 
expected to accrue and will key earnings driver in the near term.

The bank had achieved higher priority sector requirements of around 45% in FY11 against 40% by the 
RBI norms. So the bank need not expand lending in this segment. This coupled with retail loan growth, 
the bank would maintain its profit margins.

‘Buy’ Hero Motocorp – TP Rs.2050


  • Company’s 3QFY12 revenue increase at 17% yoy and EBITDA at 31% yoy are in line with market expectations.
  • EBITDA margin at 15.8% up 170 bps yoy and 10 bps down qoq has also been line with market estimates.
  • Company could offset higher raw material cost by lower other operating expenses.
  • Depreciation increase of 7% is due to weakness in rupee against JPY.
  • Domestic motorcycle volume increased 11% yoy against industry growth rate of 9%,  translating in to market share gain of 125 bps yoy.
  • Company showed healthy improvement in all operating parameters yoy. Sequentially, the margins are slightly down due to seasonality and change in product mix.
  • 4QFY12 volume growth is expected to be similar to that of 3Q. 
  • Honda’s entry in to 100 cc bikes has been a significant overhang on the stock. However, the brand equity and distribution edge enjoyed by the company would help limit market share loss.
  • Market share gain in 125 cc bikes and scooter segment will limit the market share loss in the two wheeler segment.
