India Strategy | Correction everywhere

Correction everywhere Recent macro events raise risk to earnings recovery in 2HFY19 INR weakness driving earnings of IT, Global Cyclicals; Domestic businesses face growth headwinds 2018 is turning out to be a year of sharp volatility and across-the-board

correction in Indian equities – Nifty-50 is down by 12%, Nifty mid-cap index by26% and Nifty small-cap index by 40% from their yearly highs. While FIIs havebeen net sellers of USD3.6b in CY18YTD, DIIs have remained on buying spreewith net flows of USD13.4b in CY18YTD after an inflow of USD14b in CY17. We,however, note that DII flows have moderated in recent months.

Rising crude prices and sharp INR depreciation (-16% in CY18YTD – the worstsince 2011) have impacted investor sentiment of late. Recently, the fear of tightliquidity and higher interest rates is adversely impacting several domestic-oriented sectors, which were the key to FY19 earnings recovery. NBFCs, inparticular, will see downgrades after many years of strong growth, in our view.

The 2QFY19 earnings-report season is likely to mirror the trend of the previousquarter, albeit with a reduced impact of a favorable base. Global Cyclicals likeMetals and Oil & Gas will continue leading from the front and contribute threefourths of incremental profits for the MOSL Universe.

Rural Consumption recovery is expected to continue, with Consumer Staples(FMCG) likely to post fifth straight quarter of double-digit profit growth. NBFCsshould report strong growth in 2QFY19, as most headwinds emerged onlytoward the quarter-end – the impact will be evident in 2HFY19 estimates (NBFCsnow form 6% of MOSL Universe profit pool v/s 1.6% in FY08). IT appears set formulti-quarter-high profit growth, driven by a strong operational performanceand currency tailwinds. We estimate PAT CAGR (FY18-20) of 13% for our ITUniverse (v/s 5% over FY15-18). Although Corporate Lenders are likely to reportanother quarter of subdued earnings, the operational trends are improving.

We expect MOSL Universe PAT to grow 9% YoY. Global Cyclicals are likely todrive performance for the second straight quarter (with 23% YoY profit growth)and account for 81% of incremental profits. Defensives are expected to postmuted profit growth of 7%, aided by IT/Consumer but dragged by Healthcare.Profit growth for MOSL Universe excluding PSU Banks and Private CorporateLenders is estimated at 13%. Auto, Telecom, PSU Banks, Healthcare and Cementare expected to report muted numbers.

We expect Nifty sales, EBITDA and PAT to increase by 24%, 12% and 12% on abase of 12%, 17% and 15% growth, respectively.

Our Nifty EPS estimates for FY19/20 have been cut by 1.5%/2% toINR539/INR674. We are building in Nifty EPS growth of 18%/25% for FY19/20.Recent headwinds pose a significant risk to the 2HFY19 estimates.

Key sectoral trends/highlights Auto Universe is expected to report a 28% YoY PAT decline on a strong base

(25% YoY growth in base quarter). Timing difference in the festive season isexpected to have influenced volume growth momentum in 2QFY19. ExcludingTata Motors, the Auto Universe is expected to post flattish 2% PAT decline – thehighest in nine quarters. We expect EBITDA margin to shrink 220bp YoY to11.9%, impacted by high commodity costs, a weak INR, and heightenedcompetitive intensity in 2Ws.

Technology is expected to report its second consecutive double-digit PATgrowth (18.4%), with Wipro (1.5% PAT growth) expected to post the most tepidnumbers. The usual second-quarter seasonal strength, coupled with the benefitsfrom a favorable currency, is likely to drive a continued recovery for thetechnology sector. Revenue for Tier-I vendors is likely to increase by 9.4% YoY inconstant currency terms (compared to 7.8% in 1QFY19 and 6.8% in 2QFY18),taking further strides toward entering a double-digit growth trajectory.

Private Banks are expected to report flat PAT growth (-0.1% YoY), dragged byICICI Bank (-76% YoY). Excluding ICICI Bank, Private Banks’ profit growth isexpected to come in at 19.4%.

NBFCs are expected to continue their strong run and post another quarter ofstrong and broad-based growth (30% YoY). All NBFCs, barring Shriram City Unionand Repco Home Finance, are expected to post double-digit growth.

PSU Banks are expected to report profit of INR3b (base quarter 2QFY18reported profit of INR29b), with BOB being the only bank amongst our Universethat is expected to post PAT growth of 2.4%. PNB is expected to post a loss ofINR10b in 2QFY19.

Consumer Universe is expected to deliver 15% YoY growth in profits – the fifthconsecutive quarter of double-digit PAT growth. The entire Consumer Universeis expected to report a strong set of numbers, barring Future Consumer(expected to post a loss), Emami and P&G Hygiene (both expected to post PATde-growth). United Spirits, Page and Jyothi Labs are expected to report 30%+profit growth, while HUL and ITC are estimated to post 22% and 13% growth.

Metals Universe is likely to post another quarter of strong performance, withEBITDA and PAT growth of 27% and 41% YoY, respectively. Tata Steel (148%),JSW Steel (121%) and Nalco (152%) are expected to post strong earningsgrowth, while JSPL is expected to report a loss. Earnings growth is expected tomoderate further in FY19 due to a strong base (triple-digit growth).

Oil & Gas is expected to report 17% YoY PAT growth off a strong base (Sep-17quarter posted PAT growth of 22%), driven by ONGC. Within our MOSLUniverse, RIL and ONGC account for 80% of the Oil & Gas (Ex OMCs) profit pool.

Utilities Universe is expected to report 53% PAT growth, led by a strongperformance from Coal India (10.8x PAT from Sep-18). Coal India alone willcontribute roughly 95% of the PAT delta of Utilities Universe. Utilities ex CoalIndia are expected to post 3% PAT growth in 2QFY19.

Telecom Universe is expected to report a loss. Vodafone Idea’s loss is expectedto remain elevated.

India Strategy | Correction everywhere

Model portfolio The correction in broader markets began in early-CY18, even though the Nifty

hit an all-time high in August 2018. The Nifty has corrected 12% from its recenthighs, and mid-and small-cap indices have corrected between 26-40%. This hasmoderated valuations for many high-quality businesses, presenting anopportunity to add names with strong earnings visibility at more reasonablevaluations. Despite the correction, the Nifty trades at 19x FY19 EPS, off from therecent highs but still at a premium to its long-period averages. Rising bond yieldscontinue posing challenges for equity valuations as bond-earnings yield spreadsstay elevated at 2.8%. Against this backdrop, our model portfolio continuesreflecting our bias for earnings visibility and growth. Overall, we continuefavoring Private Financials, Consumer Discretionary, FMCG, IT and select qualityMid-caps.

BFSI: We are replacing Yes Bank with Axis Bank, given the prevailing uncertaintyin the former around management change. In Axis, the recent appointment ofMr Amitabh Chaudhry as MD & CEO has provided much-needed clarity on topmanagement. We expect balance sheet clean-up to complete soon and earningsrecovery to pick up by end-FY19. AXSB has already increased the PCR to 69%(NCLT-1 provisions of 83%), while net stressed assets have declined to 6.7%.AXSB guided for normalization in credit cost in 2HFY19. Within NBFCs, we areraising weights on HDFC after the recent correction. It is best placed in the NBFCspace to navigate the rising interest rates environment (best-in-class liabilitystructure, with 30% funding from public deposits) and now trades at reasonablevaluations adjusted for subsidiaries with 16-17% RoE. We are adding Kotak Bank(KMB) in our model portfolio, as growth commentary remains strong withmanagement guiding for 20%+ growth across key business verticals. We expectKMB to report 21% loan growth over FY18-20. With prudential provisioningmade by the bank in 1QFY19, PCR has improved to ~60%. Subsidiaries have beenperforming well (contributing ~35% of total PAT). Promoter ownership remainsa near-term overhang, though. However, the ~25% correction in the stock pricemakes KMB attractive from a medium- to long-term perspective.

Consumer: We are replacing Emami and UNSP with HUL in our model portfolio.While Emami continues witnessing moderation in demand trends and rising RMheadwinds, UNSP is impacted by rising raw material pressure and elevatedcompetitive intensity in IMFL in an environment of meagre price hikes. On theother hand, HUVR offers a relatively more robust rural story and its guidance ofmodest margin expansion and continued premiumization provides relativelygood earnings visibility.

Autos: We are replacing Bajaj Auto with Ashok Leyland in our model portfolio.Domestic 2W industry volumes and profitability are facing headwinds from anincrease in cost of ownership (led by safety regulations, new insurance norms,etc.) and intensifying competition. BJAUT's profitability would remain underpressure due to a weak mix and limited benefit of the INR in the near term dueto hedges. Ashok Leyland's volumes remain strong with ~35% growth in1HFY19, despite the noise around higher rated load. After gaining market shareprofitably over FY15-18, Ashok Leyland is now shifting its focus towardexpanding and creating new revenue/profit pools. This should likely driverevenue/EBITDA/PAT CAGR of 12%/15%/16% over FY18-22.

October 2018 6

India Strategy | Correction everywhere

Information Technology: We have raised the weight for Infosys marginally,added Tech Mahindra and replaced Persistent with Mindtree. With dealsbagged over the past few quarters, revenues from the Telecom vertical appearset for revival in Tech Mahindra. Softness in Enterprise expected in 2QFY19 istransient and that too should recover from 3QFY19. Also, the benefits fromcurrency seem to be flowing down to TECHM’s profitability, driving expectationof 290bp EBITDA margin expansion over FY18-20 (to 18.2%). The stock remainsundervalued relative to peers, providing an opportunity for earnings upgradeand re-rating. Performance for PSYS has been clouded by near-term issues,while growth has been accelerating for the rest of the pack. The recentturnaround of MTCL and also momentum visibility (driven by acceleration in topclients) make its growth highest in our coverage universe. Turnaround of itsacquisitions and benefits of INR depreciation would favor margins, driving high-double-digit earnings growth.

Capital Goods: We have raised the weight of L&T further given the attractivevaluations, improved capital allocation and good visibility on orders.

Energy: HPCL moves out of the portfolio after our recent downgrade. Mid-caps: In mid-caps, the significant correction has given us an opportunity to

add some new ideas at relatively more reasonable valuations. We are addingMindtree, Crompton Consumer and TeamLease in our model portfolio. Risingshare of premium fans (~20% in total fan sales vs 7% two years back) will drivemarket share gains for Crompton Consumer along with margin expansion. Ittrades at a 20% discount to Havells, despite RoE being 2x of Havells. TeamLeasehas seen a gradual recovery in volume growth, which should continue throughthe rest of the year, resulting in maintenance of ~25% revenue growth historicaltrend. After the recent correction, long-term opportunities and high growthoffer a good entry opportunity.

Global Cyclicals will drive earningsMetals, O&G and IT to drive entire incremental PAT for 2QFY19

After a tepid FY18, the 1QFY19 earnings performance was healthy off a lowbase, with MOSL universe earnings growing 14% and Nifty earnings increasingby a respectable 13% (below expectations). Expectations of an earningsrecovery in FY19 hinge on the performance of a few sectors (as earningsrecovery is expected to be narrow, posing a downside risk to estimates). Thedownside risks to estimates have gone up, more so in the last few weeks, giventhe developments around crude, credit tightening and consequent higherinterest rates in the system.

As we head into the 2QFY19 earnings season, the macro challenge hasworsened with the relentless rise in crude oil prices accompanied by currencydepreciation. This, coupled with the liquidity tightening in the financial systemand concerns around ILFS debt default, has soured market sentiment.Moreover, bond yields have hovered around 8-8.1%. These developments canhave meaningful repercussions on corporate earnings going forward. The RBI, inits recent monetary policy, lowered its inflation forecasts for 2QFY19, 2HFY19and 1QFY20. The government has also reduced the borrowing target for 2HFY19by INR700b.This may provide some relief to bond yields, in our view. Monsoonmissed the IMD’s prediction (made at the beginning of the season), with theseason ending with 9% deficit. These developments have taken the sheen offthe strong GDP growth posted in 1QFY19 and the improvement in some microdata points pertaining to consumption. The high frequency data points stillremain patchy and indicate volatile recovery trends.

Overall, we expect the 2QFY19 earnings season to mirror the 1QFY19 trends,albeit with a reduced impact of base-related favorable comps. Global Cyclicalswill continue driving earnings, even as rising commodity costs and higherinterest rates pose downside risks to earnings estimates.

Global Cyclicals to drive earnings in 2QFY19 MOSL Universe is expected to deliver earnings growth of 9% in 2QFY19, led by

Global Cyclicals, even as Domestic Cyclicals are likely to drag the performanceand defensives are likely to post modest growth.

Approximately 31% of MOSL Universe is expected to post a YoY decline in PAT,while 46% of the MOSL Universe is expected to post >15% growth. Consumer,NBFC, Metals, Technology and Oil& Gas are expected to drive 2QFY19 earnings.

In 2QFY19, the contribution of Domestic Cyclicals and Defensives to the profitpool is roughly equal at 32%, whereas Global Cyclicals will contribute 36%.

We expect MOSL Universe revenue to grow 22% YoY in the quarter (revenuegrew 12% YoY in the base quarter).

MOSL Universe EBITDA growth is estimated at 11% YoY, with the operatingmargin ex-Financials and OMCs coming in flattish at 20.3%. MOSL Universe PATis likely to grow 9% YoY (base quarter earnings grew by 14%), driven by GlobalCyclicals like Metals, Oil & Gas and Coal India.

Global Cyclicals are expected to deliver strong earnings growth of 23% YoY (39%growth in base quarter), led by Metals, Oil & Gas and Coal India, and account for81% of YoY delta in MOSL Universe PAT. Coal India alone contributes 36% of YoYdelta in MOSL Universe PAT.

2QFY19 PREVIEW

October 2018 8

India Strategy | Correction everywhere

Defensives are expected to post 7% YoY PAT growth (base quarter earnings de-grew by 6%), buoyed by IT (posting its highest growth since Jun-14) andConsumer (14% growth), but dragged by Utilities (3% growth ex Coal India) andHealthcare (4% de-growth). Telecom (competitive intensity to stay elevated) isexpected to post another quarter of loss.

For 2QFY19, Domestic Cyclicals will report 1.4% and (1.5%) YoY growth inEBITDA and PAT, respectively, dragged by Auto, PSU Banks and Corporate-focused private banks, while NBFCs are expected to deliver healthy 19% growth.

Earnings breadth to worsen slightly from the previous quarter; Domestic Cyclicals to disappoint Earnings breadth is expected to worsen from 1QFY19, with 31% of MOSL Universe expected to post a YoY decline in PAT. Global Cyclicals like Metals and Oil & Gas are expected to continue the good run and account for 81% of MOSL Universe earnings delta for 2QFY19. Apart from these, IT, FMCG and NBFC are also expected to contribute to incremental earnings in 2QFY19.

Snapshot of sector performance Auto Universe is expected to report 28% YoY PAT decline off a strong base. We

expect EBITDA margin to shrink 220bp YoY to 11.9% due to high commoditycosts, a weak INR and heightened competitive intensity in 2Ws. Excluding TataMotors, Auto Universe is expected to post a 2% YoY earnings decline. We expectMaruti, M&M, Bajaj Auto and Hero Motors to post a YoY decline in PAT.

Technology is expected to post the strongest quarter since Sep-14, withPAT/sales expected to grow at 18.4% (17-quarter high)/16.8 %( 9-quarter high).Tier II is expected to post another quarter of outperformance v/s Tier I. TCS isexpected to account for 45% of incremental PAT of our Technology Universe

Metals will have another strong quarter (41% YoY PAT growth) off a high base.However, growth is expected to moderate going forward in FY19.

Oil & Gas is expected to report 17% YoY PAT growth off a strong base (Sep-17quarter posted PAT growth of 22%), driven by ONGC and IOC. Excluding OMCs,O&G Universe is expected to deliver 26% YoY PAT growth.

Private Banks are expected to report flat PAT growth (-0.1% YoY), dragged byICICI Bank (-76% YoY). Excluding ICICI Bank, Private Banks profit growth isexpected to come in at 19.4%.

NBFCs should report another strong quarter with broad-based 30% profitgrowth. However, we have reduced our estimates for FY19 and FY20 given theunderlying rise in cost of funds and potential pressure on spreads.

PSU Banks are expected to report a profit after three consecutive quarters ofloss, while Telecom is expected to report a loss for the fifth straight quarter.

Consumer Universe profits are expected to grow 15% YoY – the 5th straightquarter of double-digit PAT growth – with a strong performance by HUL/PAG.

Cement (-2.1%) is expected to report a PAT decline, with ACC and Ultratechexpected to report strong numbers. 7 out of 10 companies in our CementUniverse are expected to post YoY PAT decline.

Utilities are expected to report 53% PAT growth, led by a strong performancefrom Coal India (10.8x PAT from Sep-18). Coal India alone will contribute roughly95% of the PAT delta of Utilities Universe. Utilities ex Coal India are expected todeliver 3% PAT growth in 2QFY19.

Healthcare is expected to post 4.3% PAT decline off a low base (19% PAT declinein 2QFY18). Sun Pharma (20%), Biocon (91%) and Divi’s Lab (35%) are expectedto post a good set of numbers, while Lupin is expected to post 45% YoY PATdecline. 11/21 of our Healthcare Universe is expected to post a YoY PAT decline.

Three macro trends on the economy

A. Expect real GDP growth and inflation to remain subdued in 2HFY19 Real GDP had surged by 8.2% YoY in 1QFY18 – the fastest pace in over two

years. However, high growth was supported a favorable base (growth hadbottomed at 5.7% YoY in 1QFY18 post demonetization). We had highlightedthat this favorable base effect would start fading and growth would come off inthe subsequent quarters. Accordingly, notwithstanding 8.2% growth in 1QFY19,we continue believing that real GDP growth will be ~7% in FY19, much lowerthan the RBI’s projection of 7.4%.

Signs of a sharp deceleration in growth in 2QFY19 are visible. According to ourin-house economic activity index (EAI) for India, real GDP growth averaged 7%in the first two months of 2QFY19, much weaker than 8.5% in 1QFY19 (Exhibit14). We believe that growth would moderate further toward 6% in September2018 due to an unfavorable base. Consequently, we expect real GDP to clock in7%-7.2% YoY growth in 2QFY19 before decelerating further toward 6.5% in2HFY19 (Exhibit 15).

Further, notwithstanding sharp acceleration in crude oil prices and a weakerINR, we expect headline inflation to average ~4.1% YoY in FY19. Subdued foodinflation and housing index will help offset higher fuel prices. Core inflation,however, will remain above 5% until March 2019.

B. Capex cycle, however, showing early signs of recovery According to the projects data (click here) released by the Centre for Monitoring

Indian Economy (CMIE), new project announcements increased 12% YoY toINR1.5t in 2QFY19 (Exhibit 16), driven primarily by the consumer goods (+886%YoY, INR25b), metals & mining (+229% YoY, INR361b), information technology(+226% YoY, INR21b) and electricity (+121% YoY, INR314b) sectors. This was thefirst instance of an increase in nine quarters. The increase was driven by theprivate sector; government sector project announcements dropped 2% YoY toINR762b (Exhibit 17).

Stalled projects remain elevated at INR11.5t, accounting for 10.9% of projectsunder implementation. This, however, is lower than the peak levels of 12.2% in

March 2018. Projects under implementation increased by a muted 2% YoY to INR105t in 2QFY19. Around 63% of the projects under implementation are from the government sector (the highest since June 2006); private sector accounts for 37%. This is reflective of the reluctance of the private sector to invest in new capacity, given (a) a constrained demand scenario and resultant underutilization and (b) over-leveraged balance sheets.

The turnaround in project announcements, along with the increase in capacityutilization levels to a four-year high of 75% in March 2018 (Exhibit 19), is alsoreflected in our in-house estimate of investment activity, which posted double-digit growth for the 10th successive month in August 2018 (Exhibit 18). Whetherthis is driven by a favorable base is something to watch out for.

C. Fiscal slippages to determine rate actions in FY19 After hiking policy rates by 50bp in 1HFY19, the RBI surprised markets by

maintaining status quo in its fourth bi-monthly monetary policy meeting heldon 5th October 2018. This, however, was in line with our anti-consensus view.The central bank, however, changed its policy stance to ‘tightening’ from‘neutral’ earlier, which may have diluted the impact of keeping status quo oninterest rates.

Furthermore, the RBI revised its 2QFY18 inflation forecast downward to 4%from 4.6% on account of lower-than-expected inflation numbers in July and

August 2018. Further, the central bank cut its inflation forecast for 2HFY19 sharply to 3.9%-4.5% from 4.8% and for 1QFY20 to 4.8% from 5%. This implies that the RBI expects inflation to average at ~4.3% for full-year FY19, as against 4.8% earlier but still slightly higher than our estimate of 4.1%.

Moreover, notwithstanding higher-than-projected 1QFY19 growth, the RBIretained its FY19 GDP growth at 7.4%, implying slower-than-previously forecastgrowth in the remaining part of FY19. We expect growth to come in at ~7% inFY19, well below the RBI’s (and market’s) projections.

Given our forecast of lower-than-expected inflation and growth, we do notexpect the RBI to hike rates in the remaining part of FY19. However, there is aserious risk of slippages in fiscal deficit targets if the government does not cut itsspending. Accordingly, we believe that fiscal slippage may prompt the RBI tohike rates.

Global Cyclicals to account for 81% of 2QFY19 earnings delta Global Cyclicals are expected to post robust earnings growth of 23% YoY on a

strong base (39% growth in base quarter), led by Metals, Oil & Gas and CoalIndia, and account for 81% of YoY delta in MOSL Universe PAT. Coal India alonecontributes 36% of YoY delta in MOSL Universe PAT.

Defensives are expected to deliver 7% YoY PAT growth (base quarter earningsdeclined 6%), buoyed by IT (posting its highest growth since Jun-14) andConsumer (15% growth), but partly dragged by Utilities (3% growth ex CoalIndia) and Healthcare (4% decline).

For 2QFY19, Domestic Cyclicals are expected to report 1.4% and (1.5%) YoYgrowth in EBITDA and PAT, respectively, dragged by Auto, PSU Banks andcorporate-focused private banks, while NBFC Universe is expected to posthealthy 30% growth.

Exhibit 23: Global Cyclicals growth expected to significantly exceed MOSL Universe in 1HFY19, with Domestic Cyclicals leading the pack in 2HFY19

Defensives’ growth to moderate slightly Defensives solely drove MOSL Universe PAT growth over FY14-16. Cyclicals

(both domestic and global), on the other hand, were under pressure. As a result,the share of Defensives in aggregate PAT expanded to 37% in FY16 from 23% ofFY12.

Domestic Cyclicals appear to be the key drivers of PAT growth in 2HFY19, withtheir share rising to 33% of aggregate PAT in FY19 (v/s 28% of FY18) andaccounting for 50% of incremental PAT growth.

Consequently, we expect the share of Cyclicals to increase to 71% in FY19 from67% in FY18.

For 2QFY19, Defensives are expected to report EBITDA growth of 6.9% YoY andPAT growth of 7.1% YoY.

FY19 earnings recovery faces newer headwinds Normalization of earnings in Financials holds the key FY19 earnings growth to be aided by low base of Financials: We expect FY19

revenue growth for our MOSL Universe to come in at 23% (v/s 5.4% CAGR overFY15-18). This will be the third consecutive year of double-digit revenue growth.The top-line performance is likely to be driven by broad-based growth acrosssectors, with Telecom being the only sector expected to post a decline in sales.We expect EBITDA margin for the MOSL Universe (ex-OMCs, Financials) to expand20bp to 19.2% in FY19. We expect profits to grow 29% YoY for the MOSL Universe,aided by a low base (flat earnings in FY18 due to losses in PSU Banks). Financialsalone account for 46% of incremental profits (34% is contributed by PSU Banks,8% by Private Banks), while Metals, O&G and Technology are expected to form11%, 17% and 9%, respectively. However, as highlighted in earlier sections, webelieve the downside risks to earnings have increased off-late.

Nifty profits to grow 18% in FY19; four companies to account for half ofincremental growth: Nifty sales are expected to continue the momentum anddeliver healthy 22% YoY growth in FY19. Nifty EBITDA and PAT are expected togrow 16% and 18% in FY19, with a CAGR (FY18-20) of 15% and 22%,respectively. In FY19, one sixth of incremental profit growth in the Nifty isexpected to be contributed by corporate lenders like Axis Bank and SBI.Excluding these banks, Nifty profit growth is expected to be 17%, stillsignificantly higher than 7% CAGR over FY14-18. These banks, along with ONGCand RIL, contribute 50% of the PAT delta for FY19 and will hold the key for theanticipated earnings recovery.

Key Sectoral Highlights - 2QFY19 2QFY19E YoY (%)

SECTOR Key highlights Sales EBITDA PAT Margin Chg YoY (pp) Key stocks to watch

Auto Healthy rural demand momentum has been partiallyoffset by increased cost ofownership led by higher fuelprices, interest rates and insurance costs, particularly for2W and PV. During the quarter,2W and PV volumes have been influenced by factors such as the Kerala floods and timingdifference in festival season.

During the quarter, while 2Wvolume grew 9% supported byhealthy rural demand, CVvolumes increased 27% (M&HCV+28.2% YoY), unaffected bychange in axle load norms. PVvolumes declined 1.8% (with decline of 1.8% each in cars and UVs).

EBITDA margin for our auto OEM(ex-JLR) universe is likely tocontract after four quarters ofexpansion to 13.6% (-110 bp YoYand -40 bp QoQ), impacted byRM inflation, currency volatilityand heightened competitive intensity in 2Ws.

Auto aggregate PAT is likely todecline 28.3% YoY, led by MSIL,and HMCL.

4.6 -11.8 -28.3 -2.2 MSIL: Revenue growth is expected to be muted at 1.5% YoY as volume declined 1.5% YoY, while realization should grow 3% YoY. EBITDA margin is likely to contract 270 bp YoY to 14.2% and PAT is expected to decline by 18.9% YoY.

AL: Ashok Leyland’s revenues should grow 26.8% led by volume growth of 26% YoY as realization is expected to be flat YoY. EBITDA margin is expected to expand 100bp YoY to 11.1%, led by operatingleverage, while PAT should increase 55.9% YoY.

BJAUT: On the back of healthyvolume growth of 25% YoY,revenues should grow 21.3%, even as realizations decline by 3% due tounfavorable product mix. This willalso drag EBITDA margins to multi-quarter low at 16.8% (-290 bp YoY, -50 bp QoQ).

EIM: Consolidated revenue was up just 9.7% YoY as RE volume grew3.6% YoY impacted by Kerala floodsand workers strike. However, VECVvolume grew healthily by 24.5%—led by healthy CV demand.Consolidated margins should decline 40 bp YoY (-70 bp QoQ) to31.1%.

Capital Goods We expect order intake for the sector to improve in 1QFY19, given pick-up in finalization of orders. LT is expected to book orders worth INR475b (+56% YoY), supported by order finalization in the water and infrastructure segment.

Revenue growth for our coverage universe is expected to register12% growth in this quarter, asdomestic execution for projectspick up.

Margin is expected to improve 30 bp YoY to 10.3%, supported byoperating leverage and costrationalization measures taken by the companies.

12.0 15.2 3.9 0.3 Execution from LT is likely to grow10% in 2QFY19; operating profit islikely to grow 4% YoY. Operatingmargin is expected to decline 60 bp YoY to 10.6%. PAT is expected todecline 2.3% YoY.

ABB is expected to deliver healthyresults for 2QFY19. Revenue is likelyto grow 24% YoY led by betterexecution of orders in hand.Operating profit is expected togrow 37% YoY, whereas net profit is expected to grow 18% YoY.

Thermax is expected to deliverstrong results. With healthy orderbacklog available for execution,revenue is expected to grow 20%YoY in 2QFY19. Operating marginsare expected to decline 30 bp YoYto 8.9% given cost pressure and netprofit is expected to grow 19% YoY.

SECTOR Key highlights Sales EBITDA PAT Margin Chg YoY (pp) Key stocks to watch

Infrastructure We expect road companies to register healthy revenue growth of 16%, driven by a pick-up in execution of orders in hand. Execution is expected to pick up given all clearances are in place.

Operating margins for companiesunder our coverage universe areexpected to decline 180 bp YoYto 28.5%, given adverse revenuemix for few companies and completion of better profitable orders.

Net profitability for thecompanies is expected to remain flattish YoY given higher tax ratein the quarter as most companiesenjoyed tax benefit under sec80IA.

15.9 9.1 -0.8 -1.8 Ashoka is expected to deliver ahealthy operating performance,given healthy revenue growth of14% YoY. Operating profit is likelyto increase 2.4% YoY. Net profit isexpected to grow 11% YoY. Orderbacklog stands robust, which willenter execution phase from 2HFY19 onwards.

Sadbhav is expected to deliver ahealthy operating performance,given decent execution (+10% YoY).Operating margins is expected toremain stable at 11.5%. PAT isexpected to grow 27% YoY given higher other income.

KNR is expected to deliver weakoperating performance given lowerorder book available for execution.Revenue is expected to decline2.2% YoY, operating profit isexpected to decline 28% YoY given margin compression of 650 bp to15.5% and net profit is expected todecline 55% YoY.

Cement We expect companies under ourcoverage to report volumegrowth of ~15% YoY in 2QFY19.Demand in various regions wasaffected due to monsoons, while the South recorded favorable growth for the quarter. We expect the MOSL Cementuniverse to record volumegrowth of ~15% YoY in 2QFY19.We expect (a) pan-India playersto report volume growth of 6-7%YoY, (b) SRCM to report 13% YoYvolume growth, (c) South-based (DBEL, TRCL and ICEM)companies to post 13-15%volume growth.

ASP should decrease 1% QoQ in 2QFY19, as we estimate a pricechange of (a) +1% QoQ in North India, (b) +0% QoQ in CentralIndia, (c) -5% QoQ in West India,(d) -1% QoQ in East India, and (e)+2% QoQ in South India.

Petcoke and diesel prices haveincreased 5% QoQ. Prices forimported coal have alsoincreased 9% QoQ. We believeprice hikes in various regionswould not be sufficient tomitigate the impact of rising costpressure. EBITDA/ton is likely tobe lower (by INR87 QoQ) for ourcoverage companies.

14.8 4.6 -2.1 -1.7 Shree Cement’s superior execution capabilities would enable it toachieve RoIC in excess of 30%(FY19E), while its gross block-to-capacity has been structurallytrending downward.

UTCEM is likely to be the biggest beneficiary of a likely upturn in the Indian cement cycle over FY18-20,as it commands ~23% market share.

Dalmia Cement’s earnings growthwill be superior to industry growth led by acquisitions and positive operating leverage.

2QFY19E YoY (%)

SECTOR Key highlights Sales EBITDA PAT Margin Chg YoY (pp) Key stocks to watch

Consumer For our Consumer universe, we expect aggregate revenue togrow 12.1% YoY and aggregatePAT to increase 14.6% YoY in 2QFY19. Aggregate EBITDA growth is also likely to come in healthy at 14.7% YoY. Whileoverall sectoral sales and earnings growth appears to be on a recovery path, we note that the 2QFY19 performance will be particularly driven by strongnumbers from the two sectoralbehemoths HUVR and ITC.

Demand revival and sustained rural growth, despite a healthy base of four quarters, has encouraged sectoral players to launch new products and increase ad spends over the past two quarters.

PFAD/palm oil prices declined 15.1%/18.4% YoY in 2QFY19. Ti02 prices resumed uptrend aftersome softening in 1QFY19, whileVAM prices remained at high levels. Mentha prices were up 50% YoY (+32% QoQ) in 2QFY19,while copra and LLP pricesincreased 10% YoY and 25% YoY,respectively, in the two monthsended August 2018. HDPE prices increased 29% YoY.

12.1 14.7 14.6 0.6 We expect ITC’s sales to grow by8% YoY (with mid-single-digitincrease in cigarette volumes on abase of a 6% decline in 2QFY18),EBITDA by 15.4% YoY and PAT by13.3% YoY.

HUVR is likely to continue its strong momentum in 2QFY19 (salesexpected to increase by 15%,volumes by 10%, EBITDA by 23.5%YoY and PAT by 22.4% YoY),outperforming many other smallerplayers in the sector.

BRIT, PAG, NEST and UNSP (led by a decline in interest costs and decentoperating performance), too areexpected to exhibit a strongperformance on the PAT front.HMN is likely to show a subdued performance, while APNT and PIDIshould post moderate profit growth owing to higher crude-related material costs.

Financials 14.2 -2.0 -4.0 -10.7

Private Banks We remain upbeat on the value migration from state-owned banks to private sector banks. We expect incremental slippages to start moderating though credit costs to remain elevated on higher ageing provisions. Elevated funding cost is likely to keep margins under pressure whereas increase in bond yields will further drive MTM losses. Stress in SME/business banking segment would be worthwhile to look at as was highlighted by KMB in the previous quarter.

12.8 15.6 -0.1 2.0 ICICIBC, AXSB and RBL amongstprivate banks.

PSU Banks We expect PSU banks to showmodest profit with the exception of PNB though return ratiosshould remain subdued. Marginsare likely to be under pressure on account of elevated cost offunds. Recent stay order ofSupreme Court on initiation ofinsolvency proceeding forstressed power assets remains a

11.3 -24.6 -88.2 -32.1 We prefer SBIN among PSU banks.Merger developments are an important watch for BoB.

key overhang and an important update to watch out for. Further hardening of bond yields may result in higher MTM losses.

The announcement of the merger of BoB, Vijaya and DenaBank came in as a surprise which has opened up discussion forfurther consolidation in the PSUspace.

NBFC Sharp INR depreciation, tightliquidity and rising interest rateshave increased incrementalfunding costs for NBFCs by atleast 50bp on a QoQ basis. Ifyields sustain at these levels,HFCs would be most impacted due to lack of adequate pricingpower. Vehicle financiers,however, have more pricingpower than HFCs. Managementcomments on spreads and diversification of liability/assetside are monitorables.

This would be the second quarterof IND-AS reporting. In thisquarter, restated numbers of2QFY18/FY18 and restated FY18net worth will be the key factors to look forward to.

Our interaction with management suggests thatgrowth in this space remains healthy, led by strong ruraleconomy, base effect and improvement in industrialactivities. However, one has towait and watch to see iftightening liquidity constrainsasset growth. This would have animpact on companies dependenton the festival season – CDfinanciers, car financiers, etc.

Core housing growth remains on a steady path and Tier-II/III locations are the key growth drivers. For housing finance corporations (HFCs), we expect the share of non-retail loans in the overall portfolio to inch higher.

Despite below-normal monsoon,our interactions with companiessuggest that rural economyremains strong and demand forvehicle finance is high. Primarycommercial vehicle sales havebeen strong in 2Q, while car saleshave been tepid due to variousfactors such as high base, Keralafloods, etc. However, overallvehicle financiers should reporthealthy asset quality and growth.

19.3 18.9 30.0 -0.2 LICHF and PNBHF are key stocks tolook out for with regards tomargins, given the sharp rise in GSec yields and liquidity tightening.

Vehicle financiers, especially CVfinanciers, are likely to witness avery strong quarter on the growth front. Car sales, though, have been tepid.

State-specific issues with respect tosand mining persist in Tamil Nadu – hence, we expect Repco to reportanother quarter of subdued growth.

Our top picks remain HDFC, LTFH,PIEL and SHTF.

Healthcare After strong 1QFY19, we expect2QFY19 to be subdued with 4.3%YoY decline in PAT.

Revenue and EBITDA are expected to continue growing,albeit at lower pace.

Specifically, we expect US salesto be stable as incrementalbusiness from new launches isexpected to offset decline in base business.

On high base of past year, weexpect companies to delivermoderate YoY growth in domestic formulation segment.

The rupee depreciation againstUSD should benefit, subject toextent of hedging for companies under coverage.

8.9 2.1 -4.3 -1.4 BIOS (+ve; Robust traction in biosimilars to drive strong earningsgrowth)

DIVI (+ve; Strong recovery in earnings on lifting of import alert in Nov-17)

Jubilant (+ve; expect healthygrowth in PAT on increased profitability across segments)

CDH (-ve; Increased competition in potential molecules for the US market may impact profitability)

Logistics EXIM originating container railvolumes increased 14% YoY,while domestic container railvolumes grew 20% YoY in August2018.

Lead distance for EXIM increased~16km MoM, while that fordomestic operations rose 28kmMoM in August, possibly due toadditional volumes from JNPT’sfourth terminal.

11.4 25.4 22.5 1.6 CCRI is likely to report margin improvement on a QoQ basis, ledby healthy volume growth and recent hikes initiated by thecompany.

AGLL’s margins are expected toremain flat QoQ, as improvement in MTO margins is likely to be offsetby a contraction in P&E margins.

Media Broadcasters are expected tocontinue their strong growth momentum. Yet, heavyinvestment in (traditional and digital) content is expected tolimit margin expansion.

Print - Double whammy of (a)subdued revenue growth due toshifting of festive season to3QFY19, and (b) full impact ofhigher newsprint prices would make deeper dents in margins.

Radio – Volume led growth isexpected to be partly offset bythe shift in festive season.

30.3 31.6 30.0 0.3 ZEE’s consolidated revenue shouldgrow at a strong 18% YoY. Yet,increase in (traditional and digital- led) content cost should limitEBITDA margin expansion (+90 bp YoY) to 32.0%.

SUN TV’s high content cost (partly)due to launch of ‘Maya’ is expected to result in 180 bp margin contraction (to 71.6%). This isdespite healthy 12%/15% YoYad/subscription revenue growth.

PVR is likely to report robust 21%YoY consolidated revenue growth (including one-month financials ofrecent SPI acquisition) led by (1)healthy ticketing and F&B revenue,and (2) consolidation of SPICinemas. Yet, expenses foracquisition (of SPI Cinemas) areexpected to limit margin expansion; expect 16.6% (+30 bp YoY).

Metals Domestic steel prices declined QoQ on seasonally weakdemand.

Base metal prices were alsolower on uncertainties due toglobal trade war.

Ferrous companies should outperform on relatively stronger pricing.

12.4 27.2 40.9 2.5 SAIL should report QoQ increase in EBITDA.

Earnings of VEDL could be impacted by the shutdown of its copperplant, and lower zinc and aluminum prices.

Oil & Gas Singapore complex GRM atUSD6.0/bbl v/s USD6.0/bbl in 1QFY19 and USD8.3/bbl in 2QFY18. We expect marginalinventory gains during the quarter for the OMCs.

Average Brent crude price was up 45% YoY to USD75/bbl. Weexpect higher realizations tobenefit the upstream companies.ONGC and Oil India should see aYoY increase in EBITDA.

RIL is expected to clock in GRM of USD10.2/bbl due to weaker light-heavy differential. Petchemsegment is expected to do better,led by healthy petchem deltasand strong volume growth.

47.1 28.8 17.3 -1.6 Despite high oil prices and rupeedepreciation, the OMCs-IOCL, BPCLand HPCL have been able to pass on the cost push to consumers and have maintained their marginssequentially.

We continue to prefer IOCL due to(a) high free-cash flow generation,(b) most diversified earnings profileamong OMCs, (c) strong dividendyield and earnings boost from PPproject at Paradeep and Ennore LNG terminal.

Excl. OMCs Domestic oil and gas productionhas declined, but ONGC has beenable to show marginalimprovement in its gasproduction. Rise in crude oilprices and expected volume growth for gas would benefitONGC/OINL.

We expect volume growth tocontinue for CGD players. Wemight see margin compression (YoY/QoQ) in the industrialsegment due to competition from alternative fuels.

47.7 40.0 25.7 -1.1

Retail We expect revenue growth of20.4% YoY for our Retail Universein 2QFY19. EBITDA is expected toincrease by 24.7% YoY and adjusted PAT by 27.1% YoY.

20.4 24.7 27.1 0.4 Titan’s (TTAN) Jewelry segment sales growth is likely to come in at ~25% YoY. In recent quarters, Watch sales have recovered strongly on a like-to-like basis, but the GST rate cut is likely to impact reported sales growth. The company’s overall sales/EBITDA is expected to grow by 20% and PAT by 21.4% YoY. An unusually high operating margin of 12.1% in the base quarter means that operating leverage-led margin expansion may not come through in 2QFY19, despite likely healthy 20% sales growth.

For Jubilant Foodworks (JUBI), we expect sales to increase 22.5% YoYin 2QFY19, with same-store-sales(SSS) growing 22% YoY. We notethat JUBI had recorded SSS growth of 5% in the base quarter 2QFY18.Thus, a favorable base and initiatives undertaken by the company should result in high SSS growth in 2QFY19. With SSS growth well above cost increases, marginsare also expected to expand sharplyby 250 bp YoY, resulting in EBITDA growth of 44.3% YoY and PATgrowth of 59.6% YoY.

Technology The usual second-quarterseasonal strength, coupled with benefits from a favorablecurrency, is likely to drivecontinued recovery for the technology sector.

Revenue for Tier-I vendors islikely to increase by 9.4% YoY in constant currency terms (compared to 7.8% in 1QFY19and 6.8% in 2QFY18), takingfurther strides towards entering a double-digit growth trajectory.

Margins at the same time would be uplifted by depreciation in theINR versus the USD, while alsogetting support from theimproving performance.

Polarization in performance continues at 2 levels, within theTier-I, where TCS is expected tooutperform the rest of the pack,and between Tier-I and Tier-II,where the latter would delivermaterially higher YoY numbers(15% YoY in USD revenue forTier-II v/s 7% for Tier-I).

16.8 20.1 18.4 0.7 Compared to the weak start forFY19 (0.9% QoQ CC), we expectacceleration in growth, led byseasonal strength, resulting in 3.5%QoQ CC growth in 2QFY19. In thebackdrop of the recent INRdepreciation, commentary on INFO’s EBIT margin guidance of 22-24% would be keenly watched. Itwas already close to the upper end in 1Q, and INR depreciation would push margins beyond this band in 2Q.

TECHM’s revenue growth is likely tobe soft, impacted by a decline in Enterprise (one-time and not atrend). However, growth in Communications is expected to pick up. Deal wins in Communicationshave been robust, a continuation which should bode well for aprolonged uptick associated withspends on 5G.

Telecom Downtrading in the prepaid category has reduced, butcontinues. Postpaid category -the new turf of competition and Jiophone re-launch [launch ofwhatsapp, youtube apps on Jiophone] continues to takehealthy subscriber share.

This coupled with seasonallyweak quarter and high networkopex/capex is expected toamplify the impact.

-10.7 -24.1 Loss -4.7 Bharti’s India wireless revenue islikely to decline 2% QoQ; Indiawireless EBITDA is expected towitness a steep 15% QoQ decline,dragging down consolidated EBITDA by 6% QoQ.

Idea’s consolidated revenue/EBITDA is likely to decline 5%/32%QoQ. Merger of Vodafone India’sfinancials effective September 2018 with inclusion of settlementcharges and initial low hangingsynergy gains may have a bearing.

BHIN’s rental EBITDA is expected todecline 9% QoQ impacted by27,447 (Vodafone-Idea led) tenancyexits. However, 390 bp uptick in energy margins should reduce theimpact on consolidated margin;expect consolidated EBITDA margin to contract 130 bp QoQ (to 40.1%).

TCOM’s consolidated revenue should grow marginally by 1% QoQ while EBITDA is expected to grow 3% QoQ. This is on the back of 2%/4% data revenue/EBITDA growth.

Volatility is back – Nifty corrects meaningfully in September Mid-caps bear a disproportionate brunt

Until recently, the market seemed to be in good momentum, with the Nifty moving upby a stellar 29% YoY in CY17 and then cruising its way to hit an all-time high in August2018. However, the reappearance of volatility has brought an outright change in thetone of the market, with the benchmark undergoing the biggest correction in 31months in September.

However, thanks to the August euphoria, the market managed to keep its head abovethe water with a positive return in the September quarter. Notably, 2QFY19 wascharacterized by heightened fears of a bitter global trade war, rising crude prices and adepreciating currency.

In CY18YTD, the US (+9%), Brazil (+9%), Russia (+9%), Japan (+6%), India (+3%) andTaiwan (+2%) are among the key global markets trading higher. MSCI EM (-11%), China(-8%), Korea (-6%), and the UK (-2%) are trading lower in local currency terms.

India’s share in world market cap has dropped to its historical average of 2.5%. Overthe last 12 months, the world market cap has increased by 3.8% (USD2.9t), whileIndia’s market cap is down 1.7%.

In the sectoral space, Technology (+39%), Private Banks (+8%), Consumer (+7%) andHealthcare (+1%) are the only positive performers in CY18YTD. Telecom (-38%), RealEstate (-36%), Media (-31%), Autos (-21%), Utilities (-18%), PSU Banks (-18%) andCement (-16%) are the key laggards.

Midcaps have struggled over the last nine months, resulting in theirunderperformance versus large-caps. In CY18YTD, midcaps delivered -19% returns, asagainst +3% returns by the Nifty.

Market breadth remains balanced in CY18YTD, with 22 Nifty stocks trading higher. TCS(+60%), Tech Mahindra (+49%), JSW Steel (+42%), Infosys (+40%) and Reliance (+31%)are the top performers. Tata Motors (-47%), Bharti Airtel (-40%), HPCL (-40%), BhartiInfratel (-33%) and Yes Bank (-32%) are the worst performers.

In CY18YTD, domestic MF flows have remained strong at USD13.9b. FII flows are theweakest in a decade at USD-3.6b. Notably, DII (ex-MFs) outflows moderated toUSD0.5b v/s CY17 outflows of USD4.3b.

While the markets remain volatile, the Nifty P/E is attractively valued at 17.6x, near itshistorical average of 17.1x. At 2.6x, Nifty P/B is near its historical average. Market-cap-to-GDP at 77% (FY19E GDP) is also near its long-term average.

Despite the sharp underperformance of mid-caps, their valuation premium versuslarge-caps is still at 23%.

Exhibit 58: Midcaps v/s Nifty P/E (x) – 12-month forward Exhibit 59: Midcaps trading at 23% premium to Nifty

Sector valuations: Premium for growth keeps expanding in an uncertain and volatile market Elevated valuations, coupled with challenging macros and a busy political

calendar, have kept the market range-bound in CY18. Technology sector trades at a P/E of 20.7x, at a 30% premium to its historical

average of 16.0x. 2Q results for the sector are expected to come in bettersequentially on account of seasonal strength. Robust deal wins, an improvingpipeline and a better outlook (especially in BFSI) have been feeding well intogrowth improvement. Additional support is being provided by a sequentialdepreciation of 3.5% in the INR versus the USD. This is likely to absorb anymargin headwinds.

Consumer sector P/E remains above its historical average (30% premium).2QFY19 has seen stable market demand, continuing through 1QFY19. Ruralcontinues to grow ahead of urban (but has still not accelerated to the pace seena few years ago vis-à-vis urban growth). Nevertheless, given the revival, FY19 islikely to be a strong year of new launches.

Earnings growth to slow down amid rising pressures EBITDA margins contract after four consecutive quarters of expansion

Timing difference in festive season would influence volume growth momentum in2QFY19. However, healthy volume growth momentum continued in 2QFY19 in 2Ws(+9%), 3Ws (+35%) and CVs (27%). PVs (including UVs) took a breather in 2QFY19, witha volume decline of 2%, impacted by Kerala floods and rising fuel and financing costs.

EBITDA margin for our OEM (ex-JLR) universe is likely to contract by 110 bp YoY (-40bp QoQ to 13.6%) after four consecutive quarter of margin expansion, impacted byhigh commodity costs, weak INR and heightened competitive intensity in 2Ws. Thebase quarter of 2QFY18 witnessed one of the highest EBITDA margins in over 12 years.

We have lowered our FY19/20E EPS estimates for MSIL (by 11%/13%), TTMT(35%/13%), ESC (7%/13%), EIM (3%/7%), and HMCL (7%/6%). We have raised ourFY19/20E estimates for BJAUT by 3%/11%.

Rural recovery drives 2W sales, CVs unfazed by change in axle load norms: A healthy momentum in rural areas and a pick-up in construction/mining activities drove sustained recovery in volumes. Demand growth in rural markets continues to outpace urban markets. This has translated into strong 2W demand, which is estimated to have grown 9% YoY in 2QFY19. CV volumes grew ~27% driven by growth in infrastructural activities and the cyclical recovery in LCVs. PVs witnessed restraint in demand, with both cars and UVs declining by ~2%.

Margins contract after four consecutive quarters of expansion: EBITDA margin for the auto original equipment manufacturer (OEM) (ex-JLR) universe is likely to contract 110 bp YoY or 40 bp QoQ to 13.6%, impacted by RM inflation, currency depreciation and heightened competitive intensity in 2Ws. The base quarter of 2QFY18 witnessed one of the highest EBITDA margins in over 12 years. We expect YoY margin expansion for TTMT S/A (+270 bp) and AL (+100 bp). We expect YoY margin contraction for BJAUT (-290 bp), MM (-70 bp), HMCL (-210 bp), MSIL (-270 bp), EIM (-70 bp), and TVSL (-50 bp).

Increased cost of ownership, higher fuel prices/interest rates to have a bearing on near-term demand outlook, particularly for 2Ws & PVs: Demand for FY19 is likely to have an overhang of increased cost of ownership led by rising fuel costs, increase in insurance costs and higher cost of financing in the short-term, particularly for 2Ws and PVs. However, for the long-term, our view is positive across segments, driven by healthy rural sales momentum, largely normal monsoon for the third year in a row, and pick-up in economic activity. We estimate 8-10% CAGR for 2Ws, 6-8% for 4Ws, 18-20% for CVs and 10-12% for tractors over FY18-20E.

Valuation and view Near-term headwinds notwithstanding, our preference remains for CVs/PVs over 2Ws due to its stronger volume growth and a stable competitive environment. We have lowered our valuation multiple by 10-15% for all companies under our coverage to factor in the increase in discounting rates and risks to growth. Our top picks in autos are MSIL and MSS among large caps, and AL and EXID among midcaps. We also like MM as it is the best proxy for rural markets.

CMP: INR737 TP: INR858 (+16%) Buy We expect AMRJ’s revenue to grow 13% YoY (-9.3% QoQ) to

INR16.1b, driven by growth in automotive OEM and the replacement segment.

Spot LME lead prices declined for the second consecutive quarter by 6.2% QoQ in 2QFY19 while they were flat YoY.

EBITDA margin is likely to decline 350 bp YoY (+80 bp QoQ) to 13.2%.

We expect PAT to decline 17% YoY to INR1.05b. We cut FY19/20 estimates by 3.4%/2.2% to factor in the

unfavorable product mix. The stock trades at 26x FY19E and 20.8x FY20E EPS; maintain Buy.

Key issues to watch Update on demand environment for OEMs, auto replacement,

industrial battery segments and price actions. Outlook for raw material cost trend, recent pricing action Update on new agreement signed with Johnson Controls for

units due to 20.2% YoY increase in domestic volume, while export volumes increased by 33.1% YoY.

Total motorcycle volume increased 22.6% YoY while 3W volume grew 39.3% YoY.

We expect realization to decline by 3% YoY (-1.5% QoQ) led by deterioration in the product mix. Consequently, net sales are expected to increase by 21.3% YoY (+7.6% QoQ) to INR79.8b.

We expect EBITDA margin to contract by 290 bp YoY (-50 bp QoQ) to 16.8%.

We expect PAT to decline by 4.2% YoY (-4.5% QoQ) to INR10.7b. We upgrade FY19/FY20 volume estimates by 8.6%/8.9%. While

we keep FY19 margins unchanged, we upgrade FY20 margins by 120 bp to 18.6%, resulting in EPS increasing by 3.3%/11.2% for FY19E/FY20E.

CMP: INR602 TP: INR767 (+27%) Buy BHFC’s shipment tonnage is expected to increase by 16% YoY

(+2% QoQ) to 68,044 tons, led by robust demand for class 8 trucks as well as domestic CVs. Further, strong recovery in oil and gas and industrial segments (exports) should also drive BHFC’s tonnage volume.

Net realization is expected to increase 3.8% YoY (flat QoQ) to ~INR222.6k/ton led by the favorable mix. As a result, net revenue should increase 20% YoY (+2% QoQ) to ~INR15.1b.

EBITDA margin is likely to contract ~60 bp YoY (-20 bp QoQ) to 28.8%.

2QFY19. RM cost % is expected to increase by 200 bp QoQ (+210 bp YoY) to

62.7% in 2QFY19 led by an increase in crude prices, INR depreciation and rising carbon black prices.

We estimate 70 bp QoQ (-190 bp YoY) contraction in EBITDA margin to 9.6%.

EBITDA is likely to decline 5% YoY and QoQ to INR1.7b. We expect adjusted PAT to decline 4% YoY to INR751m. We have revised downward our earnings estimate for FY19 and FY20

CMP: INR228 TP: INR335 (+47%) Buy Consolidated revenues are estimated to decline 19.9% YoY (-6.8%)

QoQ), with EBITDA margin contracting 380 bp YoY to 8.8%. We estimate second consecutive quarter of consolidated loss of INR4.5b (v/s adjusted profit of INR24.8b).

We expect JLR’s (including JV) volume to decline by 19.9% YoY (-6.8% QoQ), impacted by de-stocking across markets and deferment of purchase in China due to reduction in import duty.

JLR’s net realization is expected to increase by 0.5% YoY (-0.8% QoQ). JLR’s EBITDA margin would contract 450 bp YoY (+110 bp QoQ) to 7.3% led by negative operating leverage. Consequently, we expect PAT loss of GBP104m (v/s loss of GBP210m in 1QFY19 and profit of GBP308m in 2QFY18).

S/A volume increased 24.2% YoY (+8% QoQ), led by 28.2% YoY growth in CVs and 15.2% YoY growth in PVs. EBITDA margin at 9.7% (+40 bp QoQ) should be led by operating leverage. We expect adjusted PAT at INR4.4b (fourth consecutive quarter of positive PAT).

We cut FY19/20 consolidated PAT by 35%/13% as we cut JLR’s volumes by 6%/4.5% and JLR’s EBITDA by 11%/6%, respectively. We raise S/A PAT by 27%/11% as we raise margins by 70 bp each to 9.6%/11%, respectively.

CMP: INR542 TP: INR571 (+5%) Neutral Volume increased 14.7% YoY (+17.2% QoQ) to 1088.4k units.

Scooter, Motorcycle and Mopeds volume increased YoY by 18.2%, 14.9% and 4.8%, respectively. 3W volumes rose by 57.4% YoY.

Net realization is likely to increase 5.3% YoY (+0.5% QoQ) to INR44,970 per unit due to a price hike and better product mix.

We estimate net sales to grow by 20.8% YoY (+17.8% QoQ) to INR48.9b.

EBITDA margin is expected to be 8.1% (-50 bp YoY and +70 bp QoQ).

We expect PAT to increase 1.5% YoY (+47.6% QoQ) to INR2.2b. The stock trades at 34.1x FY19E and 23.5x FY20E EPS; Maintain

Exhibiting signs of an improvement Capex activity remains weak; green shoots seen in select pockets Smooth order-execution to ensure double-digit revenue growth With structural reforms in place and businesses accustomed to the new system, execution of domestic projects has started showing signs of a pick-up. We expect companies from our coverage universe to register 12% revenue growth at the aggregate level. Industrials and engineering companies are likely to witness healthy revenue growth, backed by smooth execution of projects in hand. For electrical consumer durables companies—1QFY19 was weak due to operational performance of companies like Voltas and Bluestar. The same trend is expected to continue in 2QFY19, given weak demand for the unitary cooling products (UCP) segment. Operating margins to remain stable led by cost rationalization measures Despite multiple headwinds like (a) input price pressure, (b) adverse foreign exchange movement, and (c) high competitive intensity, operating profit at the aggregate level is expected to register 15% YoY growth. Operating profit margin at aggregate level is expected at 10.3% v/s 10% in 2QFY18. Margin improvement/stability is being driven by cost rationalization measures taken by the companies over the last couple of years. Net profit at the sector level is expected to grow 4% YoY. Adverse forex movement to impact MNCs, consumer durable companies Recent INR depreciation of 10% YoY against the USD can potentially have a negative impact on the earnings of companies like Siemens, ABB, GE T&D—these companies rely on its parent company for imports of critical components. Even companies like Voltas, Bluestar can potentially have a negative impact given its reliance on imports for compressor and indoor units from China. Approaching general elections to slow down fresh government orders The domestic private capex cycle has remained weak. Capex activity continues to be supported by government capex in the infrastructure segment. However, with the impending general elections, even government capex is likely to slow down. Ordering activity seen in 1HFY19 is testimony to the weak new-business scenario. The recently released CMIE capex data for 1HFY19 showed new project announcements at -1% YoY. Though the near-term outlook remains subdued, we note that policy initiatives have been taken to (i) expedite regulatory approvals, and (ii) to establish monetary conditions conducive to industrial revival over the medium-term.

We believe investment revival would be triggered by: (i) sustained recovery in consumption demand, and thus, capacity utilization; and (ii) investment push by the public sector, leading to a virtuous cycle of cash flow generation.

By initiating GST, labor and energy sector reforms, the Indian government has partly addressed concerns about the pace and extent of reforms. Implementation of substantive reforms is essential for structured investment growth.

Source: MOSL Ordering activity supported by a select few sectors Overall ordering activity has started to see signs of a pick-up, driven by ordering

from the steel, cement, fertilizers, and oil and gas sectors. Government awarding has been a pillar of support for industrial and engineering

companies. Sector-wise, roads, railways, power T&D and defense registered strong tendering activity (fiscal allocations for roads/railways have increased).

September 2018 Results Preview | Sector: Capital Goods ABB

CMP: INR1,420 TP: INR965 (-32%) Sell During the quarter, ABB launched its most economical charging

solution for electric vehicles, which can be used at home or offices. ABB has showcased the Teraa HP fast-charging system, which can power up a car for 200km in a single eight-minute charge.

We expect 24% YoY growth in revenue, supported by execution ramp-up in the power grid segment, as we expect the execution of HVDC order to contribute to revenue.

We expect EBITDA margin to improve 20 bp to 7.2%. Despite robust revenue growth, operating margin during the quarter is expected to improve marginally given the forex impact—the INR has depreciated during the quarter and ABB is a net importer.

Net profit is expected to grow by a robust 17.5% YoY to INR1.0b. Maintain Sell.

Key issues to watch Forex impact given ABB is net importer and INR has depreciated Management commentary suggests cautious optimism, continued

focus on exports and services—an important driver of projected strong double-digit revenue and profit growth.

Continued preference for cash generation vis-à-vis profits.

September 2018 Results Preview | Sector: Capital Goods Bharat Electronics

CMP: INR84 TP: INR100 (+19%) Buy For FY19, BHE plans to pursue business opportunities in space

electronics, solar energy, homeland security, smart cards and telecom.

For FY19, BHE’s growth would be driven by radar/missile systems, communication and network-centric systems, tank electronics, gun upgrades, electro-optic systems, and electronic warfare systems.

BHE has planned capacity enhancement and creation of new test facilities for the defense business.

We expect revenue growth of 15% YoY, supported by execution of the EVM order, Akash missile system, IACCS, and ship-borne EW systems.

We expect EBITDA margin of 16.6% v/s 24.0% in 2QFY18, given adverse revenue mix (contribution from low-margin EVM machines). EBITDA is likely to decline 21% YoY at INR4.7b.

PAT is expected to decline 27% YoY to INR3b. Maintain Buy. Key issues to watch Revenue growth: Key orders (Akash missile, intake of INR67b in

FY11-12) are currently under execution for Army and Air Force Operating at 60% capacity utilization; possibility of strong operating

leverage

CMP: INR73 TP: INR65 (-11%) Sell We expect revenue growth of 13% YoY, led by a pick-up in

execution of orders in hand. We expect gross margin to improve 190 bp YoY to 41.8%, led by

better revenue-mix. BHEL is likely to report operating profit of INR4.8b as against a loss

of INR954m in 2QFY18. The operating loss in 2QFY18 was on account of higher other expenses, given provisions of INR5.4b during the quarter.

We estimate adjusted net profit at INR2.9b as against INR1.1b in 2QFY18.

During the quarter, BHEL has entered into technology collaboration agreement with Babcock Power Environmental Inc (USA) for selective catalytic reduction systems for De-Nox application.

Maintain Sell. Key issues to watch Execution of orders in hand given private sector order backlog is

slow moving Trends in provisions, particularly for liquidated damages on

CMP: INR582 TP: INR690 (+19%) Neutral Unitary cooling division (UCP) is likely to report muted revenue

growth of 4% YoY on account of the weak festive season in Kerala post heavy rains, which led to an overall weakness in demand. Blue Star has a strong presence in Kerala.

We expect revenue growth of 12% YoY in the MEP segment, given pick-up in execution of orders in hand post-contract renegotiation, which happened on account of GST implementation.

Operating margin is expected to remain flat YoY at 5.4%, given INR depreciation, input price-rise, recent imposition of import duty on A/Cs and compressors, and inability to increase price given the soft demand. Operating profit is expected to increase 7% YoY.

We expect net profit of INR226m as against INR203m in 2QFY18. Maintain Neutral.

CMP: INR212 TP: INR300 (+42%) Buy We expect sales to grow 14% YoY, driven by 14% growth in the

lighting segment. We expect operating profit of INR1.3b in 2QFY19, an improvement

of 7% YoY, and an 80 bp compression in EBITDA margin to 12%. Margin compression is expected on account of pricing pressure witnessed in the lighting segment given high competitive intensity.

Net profit is expected to be INR728m in 2QFY19 as against INR708m in 2QFY18, implying a growth of 2.8%. Maintain Buy.

CMP: INR669 TP: INR830 (+24%) Buy We expect revenue to increase 14% YoY, supported by growth in

power generation (13% YoY), exports (+16% YoY), and distribution and spares (20% YoY). Growth in power generation, distribution and exports is supported by the weak base of 2QFY18—whose revenue performance was impacted by GST-led disruption. Domestic revenue should grow 15% YoY in 2QFY19.

We expect export revenue to register 16% growth on YoY basis to INR4.3b in 2QFY19, supported by lower base effect of 2QFY18 and INR depreciation of 10% YoY.

EBITDA margin is expected to improve 120 bp YoY to 15.7%; margin expansion is on the basis of better contribution from the export business given the INR depreciation. Domestic business continues to witness margin pressure given competitive pressure from industry players.

Net profit is expected to register growth of 13% YoY to INR1.7b. Maintain Buy.

CMP: INR114 TP: INR155 (+36%) Buy During the quarter, EIL booked orders of INR50b that it received

from HPCL Rajasthan Refinery Limited, which includes project management consultants (PMC) as well as engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) jobs.

We expect revenue to increase 32% YoY, supported by growth in turnkey segment execution (120% YoY) and expect consultancy and engineering projects to register muted growth of 2% YoY.

We expect operating profit to register 30% decline YoY, despite 32% growth in revenue, given adverse revenue-mix (higher share of low-margin turnkey projects). Margins in the turnkey segment for 2QFY18 stood at 50.6% given INR374m was received from a customer for a one-time settlement for time extension on a particular project.

We expect net profit to register a 21% YoY decline to INR939m. Maintain Buy.

CMP: INR261 TP: INR275 (5%) Neutral We expect GETD to register revenue growth of 12% YoY to

INR9.7b in 2QFY19. Growth would be driven by a pick-up in the execution of the Champa Kurukshetra (CK) phase II project and through booking of sales, which had slipped in earlier quarters.

We expect operating profit of INR900m in 2QFY19, as against INR805m in 2QFY18. Operating margins are expected to remain stable during the quarter at 9.3%.

Gross margin is likely to see 170 bp decline YoY to 36.1%. 2QFY18 gross margins were higher given closure of the CK phase I project. Even INR depreciation can act as a spoil-sport for the company.

GETD is expected to book net profit of INR645m as against INR475m in 2QFY18. Maintain Neutral.

Larsen & Toubro

CMP: INR1,245 TP: IN1,570 (+26%) Buy LT announced an order intake of INR338b in 2QFY19 compared to

INR119b in 2QFY18. Order inflow during the quarter was supported by large as well as base order finalization (>INR15b).

Large orders worth INR260b were finalized during the quarter. Domestic order wins were supported by order finalization in the infrastructure segment. Overseas order finalization was supported by infrastructure and power segments.

For 2QFY19, we expect revenue growth of 10% YoY to INR290b. We have factored in 11.2% YoY growth in the E&C segment driven by execution in the domestic segment. We expect operating profit margin to compress by 60 bp YoY to 10.6% in 2QFY19.

We expect net profit to decline by 2.3% YoY to INR16.5b impacted by lower other income (INR3b v/s INR3.9b in 2QFY18). Maintain Buy.

Key issues to watch Net working capital cycle (excluding financial services) stood at 20%

of revenue in 1QFY19. Target is to reach 18% in FY19.

Siemens

CMP: INR980 TP: INR990 (+1%) Neutral We expect SIEM to register 15% YoY revenue growth during the

quarter to INR36.2b, led by a strong performance in its power, gas and energy management segments.

Operating margin is expected to improve by 60 bp YoY to 10.7%, and operating profit is expected to register 22% YoY growth.

Net profit is expected to register 39% growth YoY to INR2.8b supported by higher other income (INR848m v/s INR630m in 4QFY18). Maintain Neutral.

Key issues to watch Raw material imports account for 55% of raw material cost;

Voltas

CMP: INR530 TP: INR605 (+14%) Neutral Unitary cooling division (UCP) is likely to report revenue growth of

5% YoY, impacted by a muted demand scenario. We expect revenue growth of 22% YoY in the MEP segment,

supported by swift execution of the orders in hand. Sustainability of margins will be a key challenge in the segment. VOLT had booked EBIT margins of 10.2% in 1QFY19 on execution of better margin orders and pick-up in execution of domestic orders.

We expect operating profit to register 29% YoY growth to INR1.1b despite revenue growth of 15% YoY, as we bake in margin improvement in the MEP segment.

We expect net profit to decline 2% YoY to INR930m given the expected decline in other income (INR290m v/s INR512m in 2QFY18). Maintain Neutral.

Profitability to take a hit led by cost pressures Marginal decline in prices for the quarter All India demand except South remains muted We expect companies under our coverage to report volume growth of ~15% YoY in 2QFY19. Demand in various regions was affected due to monsoon while South recorded favorable growth for the quarter.

Demand growth in the South is strong, led by Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Demand in Kerala was affected due to floods in the region. Demand growth in the East and central remained muted. Demand in the North is moderate due to the impact of sand mining ban in Rajasthan. Demand growth in the West has been affected due to monsoon.

We expect the MOSL Cement universe to record volume growth of ~15% YoY in 2QFY19. We expect (a) pan-India players to report volume growth of 6-7% YoY, (b) SRCM to report 13% YoY volume growth, (c) South-based (DBEL, TRCL and ICEM) companies to post 13-15% volume growth.

We estimate volume growth at 7-8% for FY19, as demand has started picking up post sand mining issues in parts of Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, UP, and Bihar.

Marginal decline in prices QoQ Cement prices should decrease by a marginal 1% QoQ, as price increase in the North and South will be largely offset by price decline in West and East. Cement prices increased 1% QoQ in the North. Pricing improvement was the sharpest in South India (+2% QoQ), followed by North India (+1% QoQ). Prices in Central remained flat QoQ while that in East declined 1%QoQ. Prices in West declined 5%QoQ due to weaker prices in Maharashtra.

Cost push will continue to dent margins Petcoke prices have increased ~35% YoY and 4% QoQ in 2QFY19 due to firm prices globally. Prices of imported coal have also increased 9%QoQ due to depreciating currency impact. This should result in higher power and fuel cost for the companies. Additionally, increase in diesel prices would result in higher freight cost for the companies. Diesel prices have increased 24% YoY and ~5% QoQ, which should translate into higher freight cost. We believe the price hikes in various regions would not be sufficient to mitiagte the impact of rising costs pressure. EBITDA/ton is likely to be lower (by INR87 QoQ) for our coverage companies.

Top picks: Shree Cement, UTCEM and Dalmia Cement Shree Cement’s superior execution capabilities would enable it to achieve RoIC of over 30% (FY20E), while its gross block to capacity has been structurally trending downward. UTCEM is likely to be the biggest beneficiary of a likely upturn in the Indian cement cycle over FY18-20, as it commands ~23% market share. We believe Dalmia Cement’s earnings growth will be superior to industry growth, led by acquisitions and positive operating leverage.

CMP: INR1,502 TP: INR1,747 (+16%) Buy We expect dispatches to grow 6% YoY to 6.32m tons in 3QCY18, led

by growth in underlying markets. Average realizations are expected to remain flat QoQ to INR4,882/ton as higher realizations in the South and North will be offset by weaker realizations in East India.

Revenues are expected to increase ~7% YoY to INR33.4b. EBITDA margin is expected to be 15.8%, (-1.5 pp QoQ; +2.5 pp YoY).

EBITDA/ton is estimated at INR837 (-INR 85 QoQ) due to INR 60/t QoQ increase in cost. PAT is likely to increase by 50% YoY to INR2.6b.

The stock trades at a P/E of 22x (CY18E) and 17x (CY19E), EV/EBITDA of 10x (CY18E) and 8x (CY19E), and EV/ton of USD110 (CY18E) and USD104 (CY19E). Maintain Buy.

Birla Corporation

CMP: INR 644 TP: INR818 (+27%) Buy 2QFY19 consolidated cement volumes are estimated to increase

15% YoY to 3.05m tons, led by ramp-up of Reliance assets. Realizations are estimated to decrease by 0.8% QoQ to INR4,464/ton, led by weaker prices in central and eastern region.

We estimate consolidated cement EBITDA/ton at INR567 (-19% QoQ). EBITDA margin is expected to decline QoQ to 12%.

Consolidated EBITDA is likely to decrease 2% YoY and 30% QoQ to INR1.7b. We expect the company to report PAT of INR109m in 2QFY19 as against INR15m in 2QFY18.

The stock trades at a P/E of 24.3x (FY19E) and 9x (FY20E), EV/EBITDA of 8.2x (FY19E) and 6.6x (FY20E), and EV/ton of USD70 (FY19E) and USD63 (FY20E). Maintain Buy.

Another quarter of double-digit growth on all fronts Rural sales likely to outpace urban sales for fifth consecutive quarter Strong performance likely from HUVR, ITC, BRIT, PAG and NEST For our Consumer universe, we expect aggregate revenue to grow 12.1% YoY and aggregate PAT to increase 14.6% YoY in 2QFY19. Aggregate EBITDA growth is also likely to come in healthy at 14.7% YoY. While overall sectoral sales and earnings growth appears to be on a recovery path, we note that the 2QFY19 performance will be particularly driven by strong numbers from the two sectoral behemoths HUVR and ITC, which account for over 40% of sales and over 50% of EBITDA/PAT of our coverage universe. While HUVR is likely to sustain its multi-quarter strong performance, ITC’s profitability will benefit from a favorable base. Results of other companies are expected to be a mixed bag. For ITC, we expect sales to grow by 8% YoY (with mid-single-digit increase in cigarette volumes on a base of a 6% decline in 2QFY18), EBITDA by 15.4% YoY and PAT by 13.3% YoY. HUVR is likely to continue its strong momentum in 2QFY19 (sales expected to increase by 15%, volumes by 10%, EBITDA by 23.5% YoY and PAT by 22.4% YoY), outperforming many other smaller players in the sector. BRIT, PAG, NEST and UNSP (led by a decline in interest costs and decent operating performance), too, are expected to exhibit a strong performance on the PAT front. HMN and MRCO are likely to show a subdued performance, while APNT and PIDI should post moderate profit growth owing to higher crude-related material costs. 2QFY19-specific trends Demand revival and sustained rural growth, despite a healthy base of four quarters, has encouraged sectoral players to launch new products and increase adspend over the past two quarters. We believe that this trend is likely to continue into the rest of FY19. Rainfall was 9% below normal, and thus, 2018 technically qualifies as a drought year. However, reservoir levels at 74% were still highest in the past four years and marginally ahead of the 10-year-average, mitigating any adverse impact. While the impact of floods in Kerala and the transport strike were not material at a national level, there has been an impact on demand from CSD of late. Mentha prices on a sharp uptrend PFAD/palm oil prices declined 15.1%/18.4% YoY in 2QFY19. Ti02 price resumed uptrend after some softening in 1QFY19, while VAM prices remained at high levels.

Preference for quality and longevity of growth Despite a correction in the stock prices over the past month, consumer names continue commanding rich near-term valuations. Moreover, if the ongoing inflationary trend – caused by higher crude prices and INR depreciation – continues unabated, sales growth and earnings for the sector could be at considerable risk. Our framework for earnings visibility, longevity of growth and quality management drives our choices in the sector universe. We continue preferring BRIT, HUVR and PIDI. We recently downgraded Dabur to Neutral owing to fair valuations. On the discretionary side, we also downgraded PAG, again due to fair valuations after the massive run up over the past 18 months. UBBL, thus, is our only Buy-rated stock in the discretionary space.

CMP: INR767 TP: INR826 (+8%) Neutral We expect Godrej Consumer’s revenue to rise 13% YoY to

INR28.3b.

We estimate operating margin to contract 60bp YoY to 21% due to unusually high adspend in the quarter owing to spate of new launches.

Thus, we have modeled 9.9% EBITDA growth, and expect adjusted PAT to increase by 13.6% YoY to INR4.2b.

The stock trades at 47x/40.4x FY19E/20E EPS of INR16.3/INR19. We have a Neutral rating on the stock.

GSK Consumer

CMP: INR6,706 TP: INR6,900 (+3%) Neutral We expect GSK Consumer to report net sales of INR12.8b (+15%

YoY), led by 11% volume growth in HFD. We note that the base is low for this quarter, with volume growth of 2.5% in 2QFY18.

Gross margin is likely to expand 400bp YoY to 68.7% due to low milk costs.

We estimate EBITDA margin to expand 50bp YoY to 23.9%.

Thus, EBITDA and adjusted PAT are expected to grow by 17.5% and 19.4% YoY to INR3.1b and INR2.3b, respectively.

The stock trades at 34x/30.2x FY19E/20E EPS of INR197.3/INR222.1. We have a Neutral rating on the stock.

Elevated cost of funds to keep margins under pressure; profitability to remain muted Resolution of stressed power assets remains a key overhang for corporate banks

Earnings growth to remain under pressure amid multiple headwinds: We expect banking system earnings to remain muted owing to an increase in funding cost, elevated credit costs, and continued bond losses on the treasury and corporate bond portfolio. NIMs are likely to shrink further as the lending portfolio will re-price largely over 2HFY19, while cost of funds has been on a rise and CASA mix has been under pressure across most banks. Resolution of stressed power assets remains an overhang, especially after the recent stay order passed by the Supreme Court asking banks not to initiate insolvency proceedings. We expect private banks to report flattish YoY growth (ex ICICIBC & AXSB to report ~17% YoY growth while mid-sized private banks to report steady 17-35% YoY growth), while PSU banks will likely report modest profits, with the exception of PNB, which is once again likely to report a loss.

Systemic credit growth recovers further; private banks to maintain steady growth momentum: Systemic credit growth has improved to 13% YoY, led by continued traction in retail/working capital loans. We estimate private banks to maintain steady momentum in loan growth and further expand their market shares. According to the unaudited numbers disclosed by Yes Bank, loan growth stands at 61% YoY/12% QoQ to INR2.4t. However, we will closely watch the progression in deposits, as flailing deposit growth and continued pressure on the CASA mix have been exerting pressure on the bank's margins. We note that the credit deposit ratio across several private banks is already stretched.

Elevated funding cost to keep margins under pressure; increase in bond yields to further drive MTM losses: The recent tightness in the wholesale debt market, along with increasing bond yields, could adversely affect the cost of funds for banks, particularly for the ones having a higher proportion of wholesale liabilities. This will exert more pressure on margins and growth trajectory, even as re-pricing of the lending portfolio remains gradual. Banks with a strong liability franchise are much better placed to overcome these challenges and should report relatively stable trends, in our view. Furthermore, with increasing bond yields, banks will need to provide for further MTM losses on corporate /G-sec portfolio, and in the absence of any amortization benefit this quarter, it could materially impact earnings. This is in addition to the INR25b of unamortized losses pending to be recognized across four banks (YES, BoB, INBK and SBIN).

Resolution of power assets remains a key overhang: Corporate banks have significantly increased coverage on NCLT exposure on both the lists (refer Exhibit 13), which will insulate earnings as these cases undergo resolution, while healthy recoveries in certain metal accounts will drive provisioning write-backs as well. However, considering that the Supreme Court has stayed the RBI circular preventing initiation of insolvency proceedings against the power assets, we believe that the resolution of stressed power assets is an important event to watch for in the near term.

Other monitorables: (a) Impact on margins due to a rise in cost of funds, (b) commentary on impact of IL&FS default, (c) stress in the SME/business banking segment, as highlighted by KMB in the previous quarter, (d) MTM losses due to a surge in bold yields, (e) trends in overseas business growth and asset quality in the wake of sharp currency depreciation.

NII to grow at 12.8% YoY/11.3% YoY for private/PSU banks; mid-sized private banks to maintain strong traction: We expect private banks to record NII growth of 12.8% YoY, led by strong growth in mid-sized private banks – IIB (~21% YoY), YES (~25% YoY) and RBL Bank (~38% YoY). Amongst PSUs, we expect BoB to report strong ~23% YoY growth in NII, while INBK and SBIN are likely to report modest growth.

Aggregate earnings growth to stay muted: We expect profitability to remain subdued, with private banks reporting flattish YoY growth (ex ICICIBC & AXSB to report ~17% YoY growth) in aggregate earnings. However, mid-sized private banks will continue recording superior PAT growth (~20% YoY/35% YoY/35% YoY for IIB/RBK/AUBANK). PSU banks will report modest profits, with the exception of PNB, which we estimate to again report a loss on account of elevated provisions.

RBK, AXSB, ICICIBC and SBIN among our top picks RBL (BUY): We expect loan book CAGR of 35% over FY18-20, driven by strong

momentum in the bank’s retail portfolio. We believe that the changing loan mix toward high-yielding loans will drive NIM and other income, though increased provisioning toward residual stressed MFI loans will limit the pick-up in earnings growth over FY19. Improving asset mix and re-pricing of the lending portfolio will largely compensate for funding cost pressures. We expect RBL to leverage on BAF's vast customer base by cross-selling various products. With a diverse product portfolio, no legacy issues and capable management, RBL’s earnings growth is expected to accelerate FY20 onward.

AXSB (BUY): We expect balance sheet clean-up to get over by 1HFY19 and earnings to return to normalcy in 2HFY19, as warrant conversion should provide enough capital to support growth thereafter (Tier 1 at ~13.2%). AXSB has already increased the PCR to 69% (NCLT-1 provisions of 83%), which will further curb incremental provisioning requirement. Appointment of Mr. Amitabh Chaudhry has ended the months of speculation on top management change. With an improving outlook on fresh slippages/credit cost, we believe that things are now falling in place and earnings momentum will accelerate over FY18-21.

ICICIBC (BUY): ICICIBC has substantially increased coverage on NCLT exposure (87.9%/60.7% coverage on NCLT list-1/list-2), which will insulate earnings as these cases undergo resolution. Watch-list has declined successively (NSL at multi-year low of 6.8%), while the PCR has increased sharply to 54.8%. Around 80% of the power sector exposure (excluding state electricity boards) is rated A- and above. We derive comfort on asset quality from: (a) bulk of slippages happening from watch-list and OSRL, (b) expected measures by the GoI/RBI for resolution of lumpy stressed loans and (c) relatively low concentration of deeper stressed sectors, such as power, on the watch-list. Retail business matrix remains healthy, with (a) a robust liability franchise (CASA ratio of 50.5% as of 1QFY19), (b) retail contribution to fees at 70%+ and (c) higher share of secured

loans. Recent management change – wherein Mr. Sandeep Bakhshi has been appointed MD & CEO of the bank after Ms. Chanda Kochhar asked for early retirement – significantly reduces the overhang on the stock and should help improve market perception of transparency and governance levels at ICICI Bank. While Mr. Bakhshi presented last quarterly results at ICICIBC, the upcoming results now become much more important as it will give clarity on the bank’s performance and the revised business strategy.

SBIN (BUY): SBIN remains the best play on a recovery in the Indian economy, with NSL at 6.6%, relatively healthy PCR and strong capitalization levels. The bank has made generous provisions against NCLT accounts, which will likely result in write-backs as these cases undergo resolution. Credit cycle is showing recovery signs, as evident in the declining size of watch-list (1.3% of loans) and the lower slippages from the core corporate pool. We expect slippages to moderate, while the resolution of stressed power assets remains an important event to watch for in the near term (69% of power assets for SBIN are rated 'A' or higher). We expect credit cost to decline sharply and RoA to improve to 0.6% by FY20. Subsidiaries are making healthy contribution – SBI MF, SBI Life Insurance, SBI Cards and SBI Cap Securities – have exhibited a robust performance over the last few years. The bank plans to list SBI Cards, SBI General Insurance and SBI MF by FY20, which would lead to further value unlocking for its stakeholders.

AU Small Finance Bank CMP: INR564 TP: INR760 (+35%) Buy We expect AU Bank to deliver ~8.2% QoQ loan growth, while

deposit growth is expected to be ~9% on a sequential basis. NII is expected to grow 7% QoQ as we expect margins to shrink to

5.7% due to a rise in the cost of funds. Elevated opex due to investment in manpower and technology will

keep operating profit growth at ~23% We estimate PAT at INR922m v/s INR682m in 2QFY18 (growth of

35% YoY). GNPA/NNPA is expected to stay flattish at ~2.2%/1.4%. AU Bank trades at 4.0x FY20E BV. Buy. Key issues to watch for Cost to income ratio remains the key monitorable Slippages in the MSME segment

Axis Bank CMP: INR571 TP: INR750 (+31%) Buy We expect AXSB to report ~12% loan growth, driven by continued

strong growth in the retail and SME segments. Deposit growth is likely to be ~11%, resulting in an elevated CD ratio of ~99%.

Margins are expected to contract on a sequential basis to ~3.3% on account of an increase in cost of funds.

Net stressed loans for the bank has declined to 6.7%, while the bank has already improved its coverage ratio to 69% (Incl. TWO). Though there are some signs of recovery in NPL cycle, we still expect slippages to remain at elevated levels (~4.5% annualized slippage ratio), as the bank proceeds to clean up its balance sheet (this should lead to high credit costs, which is expected to start normalizing from 2HFY19).

We estimate PAT of INR6.7b (growth of 56% YoY on a low base) v/s INR7b in 1QFY19.

AXSB trades at 2.2x FY20E ABV. Buy.

Key issues to watch for Quantum of corporate slippages from BB and below list and any

revision in the size of the stressed assets Bank's strategy on retail and unsecured loans

Bank of Baroda CMP: INR103 Under Review We expect loan growth to moderate to ~9% YoY. Balance sheet

recalibration will continue, led by a focus on granular retail loans. We expect drill-down in the international book to continue. We expect deposits to grow ~1.4% YoY (~1.7% QoQ).

We expect margins to contract to ~2.6% on account of rising cost of funds.

We expect slippages to moderate but remain at elevated levels (4.8% annualized). We expect GNPA/NNPA to stay moderate at 12.1%/5.2%.

We expect total other income to grow 5% YoY, mainly led by core fee income.

PAT is expected to be at INR3.6b v/s INR5.2b in 1QFY19. Return ratios would still remain sub-optimal. The stock trades at 0.8x FY20E ABV.

DCB Bank CMP: INR148 TP: INR170 (+15%) Neutral Loan growth (29% YoY) and deposit growth (27% YoY) are

expected to be high due to low base. Growth will be driven by retail; management intends to curb corporate growth below 20%.

Non-interest income is expected to remain flattish as trading gains should remain moderate.

Overall, we expect PPoP growth to increase to ~21% YoY. We model opex growth of 17% YoY, lower than previous quarters, as the pace of branch addition will slow down. Credit costs may be elevated owing to potential stress in the SME and LAP segments (we factor in ~2% slippage ratio). We expect PAT growth of ~24% YoY.

Federal Bank CMP: INR70 TP: INR100 (+42%) Buy We expect FB to report ~22% YoY (4% QoQ) loan growth, aided by

renewed focus on corporate growth. Traction in SME and retail loans would be maintained. We expect NIM to remain under pressure due to increase in cost of funds.

Other income is likely to decline by 13% YoY due to moderation in treasury gains and fee income.

Overall PPoP is expected to decline with total income growth of ~5% trailing opex growth of 13%, which is likely to be higher on account of recent floods in Kerala.

We expect slippages to elevate during the quarter (3.1% annualized) due to floods in Kerala.

We expect PAT of INR2b v/s INR2.6b in 2QFY18 and INR2.6b in 1QFY19. FB trades at 1.1x FY20E ABV. Buy.

We revise our TP from INR110 to INR100 (1.7x Sept-20 ABV). Key issues to watch for Outlook on asset quality and growth opportunities, especially

post the recent floods in Kerala. Strategy on balance sheet growth, particularly corporate growth

and fee income.

HDFC Bank CMP: INR2,031 TP: INR2,400 (+18%) Buy Loan growth is expected to ~20%, mainly driven by retail loans,

whereas deposit growth is expected to be ~21% YoY led by traction in CASA and bulk deposits.

Calculated margins at 4.1% are expected to contract due to a rise in cost of funds. NII is expected to grow at ~13% YoY.

Other income growth is expected to moderate to ~11% YoY, factoring in lower trading gains. Fee income should remain healthy.

Opex growth would be lower than total income growth at ~8.5% YoY, aided by the bank's strong digital initiatives.

IndusInd Bank CMP: INR1,638 TP: INR2,250 (+37%) Buy We have made our estimates building in a merger of IIB and

BHAFIN in FY19, which explains the higher than usual PAT growth of 46% in FY19. We expect strong loan growth of ~29% YoY in 2QFY19, significantly ahead of system loan growth. Deposit growth should be strong at 18% YoY. Continued market share gains in Vehicle Finance would remain a key factor to monitor. NIM is likely to stay flattish at ~4.1%.

We expect non-interest income to grow ~7% YoY, supported by healthy fee income growth. Stronger contribution of third-party distribution fees owing to increased inflows into MFs and insurance industry will offset lower treasury gains.

Opex growth would moderate to ~12% YoY v/s 15% growth in total income. Healthy PPP growth (+17% YoY) and controlled credit costs would keep earnings growth strong at 20%+ YoY.

IIB trades at 2.8x FY20E ABV, with best-in-class RoA of ~2.4% and RoE of 21%. Buy.

Key issues to watch for Continued momentum in CV/CE would be key for CFD growth Corporate asset quality a key monitorable

Kotak Mahindra Bank CMP: INR1,099 TP: 1,250 (+14%) Neutral We expect the standalone bank to report ~22% loan growth and

~20% deposit growth in 2QFY19. NIM is likely to remain stable at 4.3%. Overall, we expect NII growth of 13% YoY. CASA retention would be a key driver of NII and NIM.

With strong digital initiatives, fast-paced customer acquisition fee income would be a key growth driver for the bank. We factor in other income growth of 24% in 2Q, driven mostly by healthy fee traction and expect an improving trend in the coming quarters.

We expect asset quality to remain stable, with GNPA at ~2.1% and NNPA at 0.8%, led by a high provision coverage ratio.

On a reported basis, we expect standalone bank earnings to grow ~14% YoY. The stock trades at 3.2x FY20E consolidated BV. Maintain Neutral.

We have revised our TP from INR1,400 to INR1,250 (3.8x FY20E ABV for standalone entity).

Punjab National Bank CMP: INR65 TP: INR74 (+14%) Neutral We expect loan growth to moderate to 2.4% YoY, whereas

deposits growth is expected to be ~0.5% YoY, reflecting some stickiness in CASA.

NII is likely to grow ~5% QoQ (-11% QoQ), in line with loan growth. We expect margins to shrink to ~2.4% due to higher cost of funds.

Overall non-interest income is expected to be flattish YoY, as fee income growth should be offset by moderation in treasury gains.

Stress addition is likely to decrease significantly on account of base effect (due to fraud reported in 4QFY18). We expect credit cost to be ~350bp for FY19.

Resolutions in key accounts and the reported fraud remain a key trigger. The stock trades at 0.6x FY20E BV. Maintain Neutral.

RBL Bank CMP: INR525 TP: INR700 (+33%) Buy Loan growth (+32% YoY; driven by credit card/MFI business) and

deposit growth (+30% YoY) would be significantly above industry average.

We expect NII to grow ~38% YoY, led by strong loan growth and favorable NIM, helped by strong CASA inflows.

Overall non-interest income is expected to grow ~33% YoY, led by strong growth in fee income and digital initiatives. We expect opex growth of 36%, led by continued capacity expansion. With total income growth of 36%, PPoP is likely to increase by 37% YoY.

Asset quality is expected to remain largely stable in 2QFY19 barring MFI and agri segment. Credit costs would largely be under control.

We expect PAT growth of 7% QoQ and 35% YoY. RBK trades at 2.3x FY20E ABV. We maintain our Buy rating.

CMP: INR271 TP: INR360 (+33%) Buy We expect loan growth to be muted (+2% QoQ) but pick up slowly

and also due to lower recoveries from w/off accounts. Stress additions should moderate to 2.8% levels as we believe

that most of the stress has been recorded in previous quarters. Developments on the IBC related accounts and resolution of power assets remain a key monitorable.

Yes Bank CMP: INR213 TP: INR350 (+64%) Buy We expect loan growth to be significantly ahead of the system at

~61% YoY on the back of refinancing opportunities and strong growth in retail banking. Deposits growth is also likely to remain strong at 41% YoY.

We expect NIM to be under pressure due to transient impact of higher cost of funds (re pricing of deposits) and yield on loans. Consequently, NII growth is expected to be healthy at ~25% YoY

Non-interest income growth is likely to be ~30% YoY, led by strong growth from third-party distribution and processing fees.

We expect opex growth to be 23%, as the bank invests in technology to leverage retail base.

Asset quality performance so far has been significantly better than industry; we expect this trend to continue.

Focus shifts from growth to spreads HFCs most sensitive to margin pressure

Sharp depreciation of the INR, tight liquidity conditions and rising interest rates have led to a rise in incremental funding costs for NBFCs by at least 50bp on a QoQ basis. If yields sustain at these levels, HFCs would be most impacted due to the lack of adequate pricing power and risk aversion from capital market players. On the other hand, vehicle financiers have more pricing power than HFCs. Management comments on spreads and diversification on the liability/asset side will be the key monitorable.

This would be the second quarter of Ind-AS reporting by companies. In this quarter, restated numbers of 2QFY18/FY18 and restated FY18 networth will be the key thing to look forward to.

Our interaction with managements suggests that growth across the space continues to be healthy, helped by a strong rural economy, base effect and an improvement in industrial activities. However, one has to wait and watch to see if tight liquidity/expected RBI measures on ALM mismatch of NBFCs constrain asset growth, going forward. This would have a key impact on companies dependent on the festival season – i.e. CD financiers, car financiers, etc.

Core housing growth remains on a steady path and tier II/III locations are the key growth drivers. For HFCs, we expect the share of non-retail loans in the overall portfolio to inch higher.

Despite lower-than-normal monsoon, our interactions with companies suggest that the rural economy remains strong and demand for vehicle finance is high. Primary commercial vehicle sales have been strong in 2Q, while car sales have been tepid due to various factors such as high base and Kerala floods. However, vehicle financiers are expected to report healthy asset quality and growth.

Factoring in rising cost of funds and tight liquidity conditions (leading to moderation in growth), we cut our earnings estimates by ~4% for FY19 and ~7% for FY20. We also cut our target price for our coverage universe to factor in higher cost of equity. Our top picks in this space are HDFC, SHTF and LTFH.

HFCs – incremental borrowing mix a key monitorable: HFCs under our coverage are likely to report AUM growth in line with past trends. We expect the shift toward LAP for LICHF and toward corporate loans (opportunistic in LRD segment) for HDFC to continue. However, the trend in incremental cost of funds v/s on-book cost of funds remains a key monitorable. Players with multiple banking relationships, strong credit rating and large public deposits should be better placed. We like HDFC due to its best-in-class liability profile and pricing power.

AFCs – 2Q growth strong, but will be a key monitorable: We expect a sturdy performance across asset financiers. Bajaj Finance is likely to report strong AUM and PAT growth. We expect growth for vehicle finance players like SHTF and MMFS to remain robust, helped by a better rural economy and stability post GST implementation. CV players have delivered strong volume growth in the quarter, while growth for car manufacturers has been slightly weak due to issues like high base in prior year (due to GST implementation leading to lower car prices) and Kerala floods. The key thing to watch out for would be management commentary on the ability to raise adequate debt capital at reasonable prices in order to cater to festive season demand.

Weak sentiment to weigh on multiples: Driven by IL&FS default and liquidity tightening, NBFCs have witnessed a sharp rise in incremental cost of funds over the past month. NCD/CP rates have shot up 50-100bp over this time period. This would impact companies that are heavily dependent on market borrowings and that have higher ALM mismatches. As a result, we have cut our FY19 EPS estimate by an average of ~4% and FY20 EPS estimates by an average of ~7% due to lower growth and margins. We have also cut target prices by 3-27% due to higher cost of equity and lower growth assumptions (refer Exhibit 2).

Calculated margin is expected to remain unchanged YoY at 11.1%. C/I ratio is expected to come in at 38%. The YoY comparison would

be inaccurate due to migration to Ind-AS accounting. Asset quality is likely to remain stable. We expect provisions of

INR3.4b in 2QFY19, as against INR3.3b in 1QFY19 and INR2.5b in 2QFY18.

Under Ind-AS, upfront booking of gain on securitization would increase reported earnings.

The stock trades at 6.9x FY19E and 5.7x FY20E BV. We maintain a Neutral rating, given rich valuations.

CMP: INR1,200 TP: INR1,525 (+27%) Buy With strong growth in the VF segment, coupled with gradual

improvement in LAP, we expect AUM growth to pick up to 29% in 2QFY19.

We believe GNPLs have peaked out and should decline going forward, as the company has started invoking SARFAESI. We expect provisions of INR1b (v/s INR1b in 1QFY19).

Large part of the off balance sheet transactions is through securitization. Hence, PBT impact is likely to be neutral. Since securitized assets are considered to be on balance sheet, ROAs are likely to come down.

CMP: INR412 Under Review We expect loan growth of 15% YoY, driven primarily by the LAP

segment. The share of builder loans is likely to remain at ~5% of overall book. Growth in the retail home loan book would be the key monitorable.

Calculated margins are likely to remain stable YoY at 2.3%, driven by falling loan yields.

Operating expenses would fall by 35% YoY (due to Ind-AS migration), with the C/I ratio falling ~600bp YoY to ~9%.

Asset quality is likely to remain stable. We model provisions of INR600m, as against INR578m in 2QFY18.

Gradual uptrend expected in the US business However, high base to affect overall earnings growth

Revenues to post modest growth; PAT to decline on low base We expect our pharma universe to report healthy revenue growth of ~9% YoY in 2QFY19; however, PAT is seen declining by ~4% YoY during the quarter. Post GST implementation, the domestic formulation segment witnessed channel re-filing, which aided growth in 2QFY18. On this high base, we expect lower YoY growth of ~9% in 2QFY19 on aggregate basis for companies under our coverage. Twelve companies are expected to report better-than-average growth in revenue and PAT for the quarter.

Gradual improvement expected in US sales We expect 2QFY19 to be the second consecutive quarter of YoY growth in aggregate US sales after five quarters of YoY decline. Thus, we expect gradual improvement in US sales for companies under our coverage—Cadila Healthcare (CDH) and Lupin being exceptions. With the intensity of price erosion declining from high double-digit to high single-digit, the US business is expected to continue reporting decent growth during the quarter, despite ongoing base business erosion. Potential approvals should help negate this issue for few companies. During the quarter, CDH received maximum number of abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) approvals (16), while Strides Pharma (STR) received a single approval.

Amongst stocks under coverage, Torrent Pharma is expected to report the highest growth of ~34% YoY, primarily due to the integration of its Unichem business, followed by Biocon (+30% YoY) due to the launch of Pegfilgrastim in the US market. Our top picks – Aurobindo Pharma and Alkem Lab.

Currency depreciation to have positive impact on P&L During the quarter, there has been a depreciation of ~10% (from 64.3 in 2QFY18 v/s 70.2 in 2QFY19) in the INR against the USD—exports to regulated markets should see some positive benefit. Extent of hedging, raw material imports and foreign currency servicing would decide the quantum of benefits. Currency depreciation adversely impacts companies having foreign currency borrowings. This will; however, vary depending on the hedging policy of the respective companies.

September 2018 Results Preview | Sector:Healthcare Ajanta Pharma

CMP: INR1,040 TP:INR1,560 (+50%) Buy We expect Ajanta Pharma (AJP) sales to decline 7% YoY to INR5b,

largely due to a significant slowdown in Africa Insti-Anti Malaria business. Overall, we expect its Africa business to decline 36% YoY due to lower supply of Inst-Anti Malaria drugs. The Global Fund is yet to procure drugs from companies, which were selected under the tender mode for this business.

We expect this decline to be offset by moderate growth of 12% YoY in the branded generics business of Africa.

The domestic formulation business is expected to grow at a moderate 5% YoY to INR1.8b on a high base of 2QFY18.

Growth momentum is expected to continue in the Asia business at 35% YoY to INR1.4b on account of a low base, increased traction in the existing molecules and new product launches.

On an overall basis, we expect EBITDA margin to come in at 27% and PAT at INR1b for 2QFY19.

The stock trades at 20x FY19E EPS. We maintain Buy, with a target price of INR1,560 (24x 12M forward earnings).

Key issues to watch out Commencement of anti-malaria medicine supply to Global Fund. ANDA Filing rate, new approval and traction from recently

launched products in the US market.

September 2018 Results Preview | Sector: Healthcare Alembic Pharma

CMP: INR623 TP:INR540 (-13%) Neutral In 2QFY19, we expect Alembic Pharma (ALPM) to report healthy

~16% YoY growth in sales to INR9.1b, led by both international segment and the API segment. International business is expected to grow ~29% YoY to INR3.4b. India business should report muted growth of ~3% YoY to INR4b due to high base of 2QFY18. (Inventory re-stocking post GST implementation led to higher YoY growth in 2QFY18).

EBITDA is likely to decline by ~8% YoY to INR1.6b, primarily due to higher R&D spends and increased other operating expenses.

We expect PAT to decline by ~16% YoY to INR1b. Given that recent investments in oncology, derma and opthal

filings are expected to fetch returns only from FY20 and beyond, high R&D expense, depreciation and pricing pressure in the US should keep growth under check in the near-term. Maintain Neutral with a TP of INR540 (18x 12-month forward EPS of INR30).

September 2018 Results Preview | Sector: Healthcare Alkem Labs

CMP: INR2,047 TP: INR2,475 (+21%) Buy We expect Alkem to post a revenue decline of ~6% YoY to

INR17.5b, largely on account of 10% YoY contraction in domestic formulations (71% of total sales). International business is expected to grow 20% YoY, with the US business (+35% YoY; INR4.1b) expected to continue reporting strong growth.

Higher employee cost, R&D spends and low base of past year is expected to result in 920 bp YoY contraction in EBITDA margin. Absolute EBITDA is expected to decline by ~41% YoY to INR2.7b.

With lower margins and decline in sales, PAT is expected to decline by ~43% YoY to INR1.8b.

We maintain Buy with a target price of INR2,475 (24x 12M forward earnings). We remain positive on ALKEM due to: (a) new launches in the US business, (b) sustained outperformance in the domestic formulations business, and (c) gradual increase in the share of its chronic portfolio, which should enable improvement in profitability and strong earnings CAGR (>25% over FY18-20).

Key issues to watch out for Outlook on future ANDA launches/filings Pick-up in chronic business Product launches in domestic formulation segment

September 2018 Results Preview | Sector: Healthcare Aurobindo Pharma

CMP: INR770 TP:INR910 (+18%) Buy We expect Aurobindo (ARBP) to post muted growth of 2% YoY to

INR45.3b in 2QFY19. Slowdown in growth is primarily due to higher sales of g-Renvela in 2QFY18.

We expect the US business (~56% of formulation sales) to remain flat YoY to INR21b. Europe and rest-of-the-world (RoW) sales are expected to grow 9% YoY, while active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) sales are estimated to remain muted.

EBITDA margin is expected to contract by ~470 bp YoY to 20.5% (higher margin in 2QFY18 on back of higher g-Renvela sales). Absolute EBITDA is expected to decline by ~17% YoY to INR9.3b.

We expect PAT to decline by ~26% YoY to INR5.8b on back of muted revenue growth and margin contraction.

We remain positive on the stock due to its strong growth in the US, despite a high base. Robust pace of approvals (49 in FY18), a strong ANDA pipeline (112) pending for approval, consistency in regulatory compliance, and an improving EU business operating margin (on increased manufacturing from India facilities) are the key drivers for ARBP’s growth in its focus markets. Re-iterate Buy with TP of INR910 (12- month forward P/E multiple of 15x).

Key issues to watch out for Debt reduction during the quarter Outlook on the US business (35-40 launches expected over next

Biocon

CMP: INR661 TP: INR625 (-5%) Neutral Biocon (BIOS) is likely to report robust revenue growth of ~30%

YoY to INR12.6b on strong ~80% YoY growth in Biologics, followed by 20% YoY growth in Small Molecules. Branded formulation is expected to grow 17% YoY, while Research Services is likely to grow 15% YoY.

With increased share of higher margin products, EBITDA margin is expected to expand ~490 bp YoY to 23.7%. EBITDA is likely to grow ~64% YoY to INR2.98b, led by strong sales growth and better margins.

We expect PAT of INR1.4b as against INR712m in 2QFY18. We remain positive on BIOS as it continues building a healthy

pipeline of biosimilars for the regulated markets. Moreover, these biosimilars are relatively complex in nature and provide a strong entry barrier, enabling the company to deliver better growth in revenue and profitability. We maintain Neutral given limited upside from current levels with TP of INR625 (30x 12-month forward earnings).

CMP: INR393 TP:INR440 (+12%) Buy Cadila Healthcare's (CDH) 2QFY19 revenue is expected to decline

by ~6% YoY to INR30.4b. Decline in revenues is primarily due to lower US sales (-17.3% YoY), as 2QFY18 revenues included exclusive g-Lialda sales.

Overall export formulations business is expected to decline by ~13% YoY to INR16.5b, while domestic formulations business is likely to increase by 8% YoY to INR9.7b.

Margins are expected to decline by ~350 bp to 23% on lower share of higher margin products. This should lead to a decline in EBITDA by ~18% YoY to INR6.99b. Adjusted PAT is also likely to decline ~17% YoY to INR4.2b.

We continue valuing CDH at a P/E multiple of 22x on 12-month forward earnings, which is at a 10% discount to the three-year average – this is to factor in a moderation in India business growth. We are positive on CDH, given its strong launch momentum in the US market and consistency in regulatory compliance. Maintain Buy with TP of INR440.

CMP: INR654 TP: INR620 (-5%) Neutral We expect Cipla’s revenue to grow ~10% YoY to INR44.7b in

2QFY19. Export formulations business is expected to report healthy growth

of ~11% YoY, while domestic business is expected to report growth of ~8% YoY. Export API sales are expected to increase 10% YoY to INR2.3b.

EBITDA margin is expected to remain stable YoY. Absolute EBITDA is expected to increase by ~10% YoY to INR8.8b led by revenue growth.

We expect PAT to increase ~9% YoY to INR4.6b. CIPLA is well poised to deliver robust growth in the US on the back

of a pick-up in complex approvals/subsequent launches and a sustained outperformance in India sales. We maintain Neutral with TP of INR620 (19x 12-month forward earnings).

September 2018 Results Preview | Sector: Healthcare Divi’s Laboratories

CMP: INR1,313 TP:INR1,270 (-3%) Neutral Divis Laboratories (DIVI) is likely to register robust revenue

growth of 20% YoY to INR10.7b in 2QFY19. Sales in 2QFY18 were largely impacted due to an import alert issued by the USFDA.

With the absence of remediation cost, margins are also expected to expand ~480 bp YoY to 35.9%, with ~38% YoY growth in EBITDA to INR3.8b.

PAT is expected to increase by ~35% YoY to INR2.8b on the back of better revenue growth and margin expansion.

We remain positive on DIVI’s as it is a strong play in the Contract Research and Manufacturing Services (CRAMS) business. With the resolution of its regulatory issues, we expect DIVI’s business to step back on the growth track. Also, with the reduction in its remediation-related costs, DIVI’s is all set to improve its profitability. We value DIVI at 23x 12-month forward EPS of INR55 to arrive at a price target of INR1,270.

The stock trades at ~25x FY20E earnings. Key issues to watch out Outlook on ramp-up of new facility Benefit from increased API prices on account of supply shortage

due to environment-led slowdown in production from Chinese companies

CMP: INR2,488 TP: INR2,170 (-13%) Neutral Dr Reddy’s Laboratories is expected to report growth of ~8% YoY

in 2QFY19 revenue to INR38.4b. US business is likely to grow by ~9% YoY to INR15.5b on new

launches. Europe sales are expected to grow ~8% YoY to INR2.6b. India business should grow ~5% YoY to INR6.7b.

Margins are expected to remain flat during the quarter at 18.3% as we expect improved gross margin to get off-set by higher Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) spend. EBITDA is likely to grow ~6% YoY to INR7b.

PAT is expected to grow ~12% YoY to INR3.2b, higher than EBITDA, on back of lower tax rate at 23% v/s 26.5% in 2QFY18.

We maintain Neutral, with TP of INR2,170 @18x FY20E PER, due to limited upside from current levels. Regulatory issues and delayed launches are likely to remain an overhang for the stock over the medium-term.

CMP: INR626 TP: INR550 (-12%) Neutral We expect Glenmark Pharmaceuticals (GNP) to report healthy

growth of ~12.8% YoY to INR25.1b. This can be attributed to growth across geographies. US business is expected to increase by ~11% YoY, and Europe business is expected to exhibit 25% YoY growth. India branded business is likely to post decent growth of 10% YoY.

EBITDA margins are expected to remain largely flat (+30 bp YoY) to 16.3%. Absolute EBITDA is expected to grow by ~15% YoY to INR4.1b on back of revenue growth.

We expect PAT to grow at a lower rate than EBITDA (+~3% YoY) to INR2.2b, primarily due to lower other income and higher tax rate.

We maintain Neutral, with a TP of INR550. Any big in-licensing deal in innovation business could act as a positive catalyst.

EBITDA margin is likely to contract by ~160 bp YoY to 18%, primarily due to higher raw material costs. Absolute EBITDA is expected to increase by ~10% YoY to INR848m on back of revenue growth.

Although we expect growth in EBITDA, PAT is likely to remain flat (~+0.5% YoY) to INR406m. This is mainly due to higher depreciation (+34%) with the commissioning of the new facility.

We believe GRAN’s capex cycle is close to completion, and its efforts should start delivering hereon. Management expects margin recovery in coming quarters on ramp-up of new capacity utilization, passing on of high RM costs, and key launches in the US. Maintain Buy with a TP of INR130 (15x FY20E EPS).

CMP: INR1,467 TP:INR1,444(-2%) Neutral In 2QFY19, we expect GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals (GLXO) to

report moderate growth of 6% YoY in revenue to INR8.9b. EBITDA margin is likely to contract by ~150 bp YoY to 21.5% on

low base of other expenses in 2QFY18. Absolute EBITDA is expected to decline by ~6% YoY to INR1.9b.

PAT is expected to grow by ~5% YoY to INR1.3b, despite decline in EBITDA due to higher other income for the quarter.

We believe GLXO has strong support from its parent, superior brand portfolio (competitive advantage), high payout ratio (>100%) and industry-leading return ratios. We maintain Neutral with a TP of INR1,444 (40x 12-month forward EPS of INR36).

CMP: INR655 TP:INR850 (30%) Buy We expect Ipca Laboratories’ (IPCA) revenue to grow ~11% YoY to

INR8.4b, largely led by ~16% growth in international formulation business and ~10% YoY growth in API business. Domestic formulation is expected to report muted growth of ~5% YoY.

Institutional business is expected to grow by ~127% YoY to INR500m (primarily on low base).

EBITDA margin is likely to increase by ~50 bp YoY to 17.7%, with EBITDA growing by ~14% YoY to INR1.7b.

IPCA is likely to report PAT growth of ~3% YoY to INR996m, lower growth than EBITDA, on back of higher tax rate at 24% v/s 11.9% in 2QFY18.

We remain positive on IPCA due to (a) the gradual revival in revenue growth, (b) stronger improvement in margins (~500 bp over two years) led by lower remediation cost, and (c) pick-up in the tender and US businesses (subject to resolution). We maintain Buy with a TP of INR850 @ 21x 12-month forward earnings.

quarter at INR3.8b. Lower share of higher margin business and increased raw

material cost is expected to result in 400 bp YoY reduction in EBITDA margin to 16.8%.

However, we expect EBITDA margin to better sequentially due to some benefits of backward integration.

CMP: INR898 TP:INR950 (+6%) Buy We expect Lupin (LPC) to report muted growth of ~4% YoY in its

2QFY19 revenue to IN32.6b primarily due to ~15% YoY decline in the US business (~29% of total sales).

India business is expected to exhibit decent growth of ~8% YoY to INR12.5b, while Japan sales are expected to improve ~17% YoY to INR5.6b in 2QFY19, aided by currency tailwinds.

EBITDA is expected to decline during the quarter to INR6.3b; with, EBITDA margin declining ~630bp YoY to 15.3%, primarily due to lower gross margin and higher other operating expenses.

PAT is likely to decline by ~45% YoY on back of decline in margin, higher interest expense and lower other income.

We note that the near-term outlook is subdued as key approvals for the US market are back-ended. We expect it to be granted in 2HFY19. Thus, prices may remain range bound until meaningful approvals kick in. Resolution of the warning letter at its Goa and Indore sites is also the key event to watch out for in 2HFY19. We maintain Buy with a target price of INR950 (18x 12-month forward earnings).

CMP: INR6,188 TP:INR6,590 (+6%) Buy We expect Sanofi India's (SANL) revenue to grow ~12% YoY in

3QCY18 to INR7.5b. High growth of brands like Lantus, Allegra, Amaryl M, Enterogermina, Avila, Vaxlgrip and Cardace, and new product launches should drive SANL’s revenue growth.

EBITDA is likely to decline by ~7% YoY to INR1.7b. We expect margin contraction of ~450 bp, primarily on the back of high base seen in 3QCY17, due to channel re-filing post GST implementation.

We expect PAT to decline by ~7% YoY to INR1.1b. Maintain Buy with a TP of INR6,590 (32x 12-month forward EPS). Key issues to watch out for Amortization of goodwill and brands acquired from Universal

CMP: INR622 TP:INR790(+27%) Buy Sun Pharmaceuticals (SUNP) is likely to register a healthy 15% YoY

growth in revenue to INR75.5b, primarily on the back of a growth in the US and RoW markets.

We expect the US business to grow ~18% YoY to INR23.6b. RoW and API businesses are likely to grow 17% YoY and 10% YoY, respectively. India business is expected to grow 8% YoY to INR23.98b due to the high base of last year.

Margins are expected to expand by ~170 bp YoY to 21.7%. Absolute EBITDA is expected to report robust growth of ~25% YoY to INR16.4b.

Adjusted PAT is expected to increase by ~20% YoY to INR10.9b. Incremental generics business from new launches, which should

be higher than base business erosion, increased traction in specialty products and sustained outperformance in the domestic formulation business, should drive growth. We maintain Buy, with a TP of INR790.

CMP: INR1,649 TP:INR1,430 (-13%) Neutral We expect Torrent Pharmaceuticals (TRP) to post ~34% YoY

growth in 2QFY19 reported sales to INR19.2b. US business is expected to increase ~41% YoY on low base, and India business is expected to witness 35% YoY growth on integration of Unichem’s domestic portfolio.

Reported EBITDA is likely to increase 49% YoY to INR4.9b, with increase in EBITDA margin by ~250 bp YoY.

Although EBITDA is expected to increase, we expect PAT to decline by ~12% YoY to INR1.8b due to increase in interest expense by 145% to INR1.3b and higher depreciation.

We remain positive on Torrent due to its sustained outperformance in domestic formulations, turnaround of the Unichem portfolio and healthy pipeline for the US market. However, we maintain Neutral given the limited upside from current levels. We maintain Neutral with a TP of INR1,430 (20x 12-month forward PER).

Key issues to watch out for Contribution of Unichem portfolio and growth strategy Performance of Brazilian operations amid market pressure Outlook on future ANDA launches in the US market

Execution remains on track, expect muted profitability

Ordering driven by states, NHAI ordering subdued Ordering activity in the road sector has been driven by states, while NHAI ordering remains muted. Marquee projects like Mumbai Nagpur Expressway/Purvanchal Expressway and coastal road have been ordered out by the state government and execution is expected to begin soon, as both the projects are awarded on an EPC basis. All projects put together have provided EPC opportunity of INR470b.

FY19 has seen a slow start in terms of awarding fresh projects, given the changes in top management of the NHAI. However, awarding activity is expected to gain traction from 2HFY19, given that the government has set a massive target to award 20,000km and construct 16,420km in FY19.

After strong awarding, execution to be key focus area Post record awarding of road projects in FY18, the focus has now shifted to successful execution of those projects. Key monitorables at this juncture remain the financial closure and physical land availability for timely execution of these projects.

Execution for coverage universe to increase 16% YoY We expect execution for our coverage universe to increase 16% YoY. Barring KNR, all companies are expected to deliver healthy execution. KNR is likely to be hurt by lower order book available for execution.

Operating margin to shrink due to adverse revenue mix; expect muted net profit growth We expect operating margins for our coverage universe to contract at the aggregate level, given the adverse revenue mix and the moderation in profitability (as only a few high-margin orders have seen completion). Net profit is likely to decline by a muted 0.8% YoY, given that most of the companies would now start paying tax after the expiry of tax holiday under section 80IA.

Opportunities abundant for incumbent players With financial closure becoming stringent and banks being selective in extending credit to companies, we believe that the sector will see consolidation. Companies with a healthy balance sheet would benefit the most. Stringent financial closure would also lead to moderation in competition, and thus, improvement in pricing and margins of the financially strong players.

Robust capex is being planned by both the central and state governments (INR7t construction opportunity). We believe that the best way to play the road sector capex theme is through EPC players that have a strong execution record and a healthy balance sheet. Our top picks are KNR and Ashoka Buildcon.

Healthy growth in both EXIM and domestic segments Margins to improve for CCRI, remain stable for AGLL

EXIM originating container rail volumes increased 14% YoY, while domestic container rail volumes grew 20% YoY in August 2018.

Lead distance for EXIM increased ~16km MoM, while that for domestic operations rose 28km MoM in the month of August, possibly due to additional volumes from JNPT’s fourth terminal.

CCRI is likely to report margin improvement on a QoQ basis, led by healthy volume growth and recent hikes initiated by the company.

AGLL’s margins are expected to remain flat QoQ, as the improvement in MTO margins is likely to be offset by a contraction in P&E margins.

Originating container rail volumes grow 14% for EXIM, 20% for domestic After growing by a robust 23% YoY in July, EXIM originating container rail

volumes increased 14% YoY in August 2018. Domestic originating container rail volumes grew 16% YoY in July 2018 and 20%

YoY in August 2018. CCRI is likely to report EXIM handling volume growth of 12% YoY for 2QFY19, led

by strong EXIM rail volumes. Lead distance for EXIM increased ~16km MoM, while that for domestic

operations rose 28km MoM in August, possibly due to additional volumes from JNPT’s fourth terminal.

Margins to improve for CCRI We expect CCRI’s EXIM volumes to grow by 13% YoY and domestic volumes to

increase by 12% YoY in 2QFY19. We have assumed QoQ margin improvement of INR400/TEU for CCRI’s EXIM

segment due to the price hikes taken in May 2018.

AGLL – MTO, CFS margins to remain healthy, P&E remains a drag We expect AGLL’s net sales to improve by 10% YoY, led by a 13% YoY increase in

MTO volumes and global freight rates firming up. Margins for MTO and CFS should remain stable QoQ. P&E segment would continue remaining a drag due to poor profitability.

Heavy content investments to limit growth for broadcasters… …while festive season shifting to 3Q expected to trim growth for print Broadcasters—ZEE is expected to continue its strong growth momentum. Yet, heavy

investment in (traditional and digital) content is expected to limit margin expansion. Sun TV’s ad growth might be moderate at 12% YoY, due to the potential impact of Kerala floods and weak viewership share trajectory.

Print—Double whammy of (a) subdued revenue growth due to festive season shifting to 3QFY19, and (b) full impact of higher newsprint prices deeply denting margins.

Radio—Volume led growth at existing stations coupled with higher contribution from new stations is expected to fuel growth, which will partly be offset by shift in the festive season.

Distribution—Dish TV’s merger synergies remain the mainstay for sustaining healthy margins. For PVR–despite mounting pressure on spend per head (SPH), volumes and GST benefits should drive food and beverage (F&B) revenue. PVR’s consolidated revenue should be robust; however, (SPI Cinemas) acquisition expenses are expected to limit margin expansion.

Broadcasters to see healthy ad growth; but margins to remain under check Broadcasters are expected to continue their strong double-digit ad revenue growth momentum. (a) ~200 bp sequential uptick in network viewership to ~20% (as per our channel checks), (b) contribution from digital (ZEE5), (c) premiers of few recently released movies such as Dhadak, Parmanu, Veere Di Wedding, and (d) low (GST-led) base in 2QFY18 are expected to drive strong 19% YoY growth in ZEE’s ad revenue. Low base of GST impact in the corresponding period augurs well for SUN TV also, however, the benefits would partly be offset due to impacted Kerala-genre ad revenues (hurt by Kerala floods). Nevertheless, we expect SUN TV to register healthy 12% YoY ad revenue growth.

Digitization remains a key catalyst for an uptick in broadcaster’s subscription revenue. We expect healthy 13% YoY growth in ZEE’s subscription revenue on the back of an uptick in catch-up revenue and Phase-3 monetization. Sun TV too is expected to register strong 15% subscription revenue growth driven by Tamil Nadu-led digitization.

ZEE’s consolidated revenue should grow at a strong 18% to INR18.7b. This is mainly on the back of (a) healthy ad and subscription revenue growth, and (b) fillip from the premier of the movie ‘Dhadak’. Yet, increase in content cost due to (a) amortization of the existing ZEE5 content as well as fresh investment in original content, (b) movies released during the quarter, and (c) investment in traditional content should limit EBITDA margin expansion. We expect EBITDA margin to inch up 90 bp to 32% and EBITDA to grow 22% YoY (to INR6.0b). SUN TV is expected to register healthy 13% YoY revenue growth. However, higher than proportionate increase in content cost – partly due to launch of new content—‘Maya’ during the quarter is expected to result in 180 bp margin contraction to 71.6%; expect 10% YoY EBITDA growth to INR5.5b.

Print marred by higher newsprint prices; festive revenues likely to shift to 3Q Print companies are likely to report subdued print ad revenue growth impacted by the shifting of the festive season to 3QFY19 vis-à-vis the split of festive season between 2Q and 3Q during the previous year. Consequently, we expect 1%/8% YoY print ad revenue growth for Jagran/DB Corp.

In response to the newsprint price increase, yield improvement remained in focus as Jagran curtailed volume via pagination as well as through circulation copies. DB Corp in select regions – Bihar continued its circulation expansion strategy. This should drive 5%/9% YoY circulation revenue growth for Jagran and DB.

Jagran/DB Corp should register consolidated revenue growth of 4%/8% YoY. Subdued revenue growth coupled with the nearly-full impact of high priced newsprint inventory is expected to pressurize EBITDA margins of print companies. We expect EBITDA margin of Jagran/DB Corp to drop 290 bp/270 bp YoY to 21.6%/21.9%, respectively. Radio Companies expect modest growth Similar to print, radio companies’ growth in ad volumes from new stations is offset by the part-festive season-led high base. We expect 8%/3% revenue growth for Music Broadcast/ENIL. Moderate growth for ENIL is likely on account of free commercial time (FCT) business revenue growth expected to be partly offset by ~20% YoY decline in non-FCT revenue. Despite moderate revenue growth, lower contribution from margin dragging non-FCT business should result in a steady 22.7% EBITDA margin for ENIL. We expect MBL to witness a modest 75 bp YoY margin expansion to 32.7% on the back of operating leverage—driven by higher contribution from new stations. Distribution: Dish TV—expect to maintain last quarter’s high base We expect Dish TV to maintain its high average revenue per user (ARPU) base achieved in 1QFY19 – up 1% QoQ, on higher share of HD subscribers and better product pricing. This coupled with 0.3m net subscriber addition should lead to a modest 2% QoQ subscription revenue growth to INR15.2b. Dish TV’s merger synergies should continue in sustaining healthy QoQ EBITDA margin with consolidated revenue expected to remain flat QoQ (INR16.6b). We expect margin to remain steady QoQ at ~34%. PVR growth to continue; margin capped PVR is likely to report robust 21% YoY consolidated revenue growth (including one month financials of recent SPI Cinemas acquisition) on the back of (1) strong ticketing revenue - led by launch of new screens, uptick in overall admits and modest 2% YoY average ticket price (ATP) growth, (2) healthy double-digit F&B revenue growth, despite ~5% YoY decline in SPH due to GST benefits, and (3) consolidation of SPI Cinemas. However, expenses on account of the acquisition (of SPI cinemas) is expected to limit margin expansion; we expect EBITDA margin to expand a meager 30 bp YoY, reaching 16.6%.

D B Corp

CMP: INR206 TP: INR231 (+12%) Neutral We expect print’s ad revenue to grow at a moderate 8% YoY to

INR3.8b, primarily led by some revival in local ad spends. Circulation revenue is likely to grow 9% YoY to INR1.4b, led by

circulation drive and yield improvement. Consolidated revenue is likely to grow 8% to INR6.1b mainly on the

back of print’s ad revenue. However, higher than proportionate increase in newsprint prices is

likely to impact EBITDA. Consequently, despite moderate revenue growth, we expect EBITDA to decline 4% YoY to INR1.3b and margins to contract 270 bp YoY to 21.9%.

We estimate net profit of INR0.8b, down 1% YoY. The stock trades at 11.2x FY19E and 8.9x FY20E EPS. Maintain

Neutral.

Consolidated revenue is expected to grow 4% YoY to INR5.9b. However, increase in printing cost (led by spurt in newsprint prices)

is likely to more than offset the benefit of revenue growth. We expect 290 bp YoY EBITDA margin contraction to 21.6%, with 9% YoY EBITDA decline to INR1.3b.

Sun TV

CMP: INR629 TP: INR950 (+51%) Buy We expect Sun TV’s standalone revenue to grow 13% YoY to

INR7.7b. Advertising revenue is expected to witness a 12% YoY jump to

INR3.7b. The benefit of low base (impacted by GST) is likely to be partly offset by impact of Kerala floods.

We expect subscription revenue to grow 15% YoY to INR3.7b primarily led by digitization in Tamil Nadu.

However, higher content cost is expected to contract EBITDA margin by 180 bp YoY to 71.6%. Standalone EBITDA should grow 10% YoY to INR5.5b.

PAT is expected to grow 13% YoY to INR3.2b. The stock trades at 17.2x FY19E and 15.0x FY20E EPS. Maintain

Buy.

Zee Entertainment

CMP: INR438 TP: INR600 (+37%) Buy We expect advertising revenue to grow at a robust 19% YoY to

INR11.8b on the back of an uptick in network viewership, contribution from ZEE5 and a low base (impacted by GST).

Subscription revenue is likely to grow 13% YoY to INR5.7b. Total revenue should grow 18% YoY to INR18.7b on the back of

robust ad revenue growth. Yet, higher content cost on account of amortization of ZEE5

content, coupled with investment in traditional and movie content is expected to limit EBITDA margin expansion. We expect EBITDA margin to inch up by 90 bp to 32%; consolidated EBITDA is likely to grow 22% YoY to INR6.0b.

Adjusted for one-offs - INR1.3b exceptional gain from sale of sports business and INR1.6b other income on equity revaluation in 2QFY18, PAT is expected to surge 26% YoY to INR3.9b mainly on the back of strong EBITDA growth.

Seasonal and global trade war concerns drive a weaker 2Q Our top picks are HNDL, JSTL, JSP and NMDC

Steel prices seasonally weak, base metal prices lower in 2Q Steel: Domestic steel product prices were seasonally weak. Long steel product prices declined ~5% QoQ to ~INR38,300/t, while flat product prices were steady at ~INR45,600/t. Aggregate steel volumes for the companies under our coverage increased ~4% QoQ, as government spending, growth in autos and durables continued keeping the demand momentum strong. Domestic iron ore prices were trending higher. Currency depreciation is likely to offset the benefit of lower benchmark coking coal prices. Base metals: Prices were down across major commodities due to the uncertainty around global trade war, appreciation of USD against major currencies, and expectation of slowing demand in China. All-in aluminum prices are down ~8% QoQ to USD2,157/t (LME is down 9% QoQ to USD2,058/t). Zinc prices fell sharply by ~18% QoQ to USD2,541/t due to weak demand and commissioning of new supply. Lead prices were also down ~12% QoQ to USD2,108/t. Alumina prices increased ~5% QoQ to USD547/t due to supply disruption and rising cost of Chinese producers.

Ferrous companies to outperform Aggregate EBITDA for our metals coverage universe would be down ~2% QoQ (+36% YoY) to INR287b and adj. PAT will be down ~11% QoQ (+69% YoY) to INR91b. Steel companies would relatively outperform, driven by growth at Tata Steel and SAIL. Tata Steel’s EBITDA is expected to increase by ~13% to INR73b, led by consolidation of Bhushan Steel. India EBITDA per ton is expected to decline ~INR900 to INR16,154. SAIL’s EBITDA is expected to increase ~9% QoQ to INR28b, led by marginally higher volumes and EBITDA per ton expansion of ~INR300 QoQ to INR8,122. JSW Steel (standalone) and JSP are expected to see EBITDA per ton contraction of ~INR1,000 and ~INR2,000, respectively. HNDL and NACL will be impacted by lower LME. Vedanta’s QoQ performance will also be weak due to lower aluminum and zinc LME, partly offset by higher crude prices. Estimates and TP change (Exhibit 15 to 17) We have cut our LME aluminum assumption from USD2,175 to USD2,100 for FY19 and from USD2,150 to USD2,000 for FY20. Our USDINR estimate is raised from 68.1 to 70.7 for FY19 and from 68.5 to 73.4 for FY20. The change in estimates is presented in Exhibits 15-17. Top picks – HNDL, JSTL, JSP and NMDC Metal stocks have de-rated over the last few months on risk-off trade due to uncertainties of a trade war. Trade restrictions could impact commodity flows in the near term, influencing commodity prices in an unpredictable manner. However, in the medium-to-long term, we believe that the cost economies would start to play out again. Structurally efficient companies in terms of low capital and operating cost, access to cheap raw material and a strong balance sheet would be well placed.

Indian metal stocks are also likely to benefit from strong domestic demand tailwinds. Our top picks are HNDL, JSTL and NMDC. We also like JSP which would benefit from capacity addition and a strong steel cycle – though the leverage is high. We also have a Buy rating on NACL and VEDL.

Hindalco

CMP:INR254 TP:INR338 (+33%) Buy Standalone (incl. Utkal): We expect EBITDA to decline 16% QoQ

to INR15.6b on lower LME aluminum. Aluminum EBITDA is expected to decline 19% QoQ to INR12.4b, while copper EBITDA is expected to fall 2% QoQ to INR3.3b. Aluminum LME is down ~USD200/t QoQ to USD2,050/t, driving the decline in EBITDA.

Aluminum volumes will increase 9% QoQ to 327kt and copper will increase 4% QoQ to 85kt.

Novelis: We expect Novelis to report adjusted EBITDA of USD318m, down 4% QoQ. Adjusted EBITDA/t is estimated at USD388 (v/s USD417 in 1QFY19). Volumes are expected to increase by 3% QoQ to 818kt. Buy.

Reuters Singapore Complex GRM was down 26% YoY (+2% QoQ) to USD6.0/bbl in 2QFY19 v/s USD8.3/bbl in 2QFY18 and USD6.1/bbl in 1QFY19. We expect marginal inventory gains for oil marketing companies (OMCs) during 2QFY19.

Average Brent crude price was up 45% YoY and 1% QoQ at USD75/bbl. We expect higher realizations to benefit the upstream companies. ONGC and Oil India should see a YoY increase in EBITDA.

RIL is expected to clock in a gross refining margin (GRM) of USD10.2/bbl due to flat benchmark GRM and sequential decline in light-heavy differential. Petchem segment is expected to do better, led by healthy petchem deltas and strong volume growth YoY.

Brent up 45% YoY and 1% QoQ; upstream subsidy nil in 2QFY19 Crude oil price continued its upward trend in 2QFY19. Average Brent crude price

was up 45% YoY (+1% QoQ) at USD75/bbl. OMCs should witness marginal inventory gains for the quarter.

We have not built in any net under-recoveries either for the OMCs or for upstream companies.

SG GRM at USD6.0/bbl, down from USD8.3/bbl in 2QFY18 Reuters Singapore Complex GRM was down 26% YoY (+2% QoQ) to USD6.0/bbl

Marketing margins stay healthy OMCs have been taking price hikes regularly to pass on the increase in oil prices,

as well as the INR depreciation. As a result, gross marketing margins stood at INR2.0/lit for petrol and INR2.8/lit

for diesel in 2QFY19. Gross margins stood at INR1.9/lit for petrol and INR2.5/lit for diesel in 1QFY19, and INR3.2/lit for petrol and INR3.1/lit for diesel in 2QFY18.

Domestic gas production seeing a revival Domestic oil production declined by 4.6% YoY in July-Aug 2018. In the same

period, ONGC’s oil production declined by 6.4% YoY, while Oil India witnessed 1% YoY decline.

Country’s gas production also declined by 2.3% during July-Aug 2018. However, after almost a decade, due to culmination of numerous projects, ONGC witnessed 2.5% YoY increase in its gas production, while Oil India showed a decline of 8.5% YoY in the same period.

LNG imports have grown LNG imports grew 7% in FY18. We have limited data for LNG imports during the

quarter. In July 2018, LNG imports grew by 28.8%.

Valuation and view PLNG – accumulate for the long-term: Visibility on PLNG’s medium/long-term

earnings is high, given (a) the huge gas demand-supply gap in India, (b) volume growth, driven by gradual capacity addition, and (c) earnings growth boosted by annual re-gas charge escalation. Poor competition from existing and upcoming terminals and lower LNG prices are additional positives for PLNG. The recent stock price correction offers an excellent opportunity to accumulate the stock, in our view.

Prefer IGL among CGDs: We expect volume growth to continue for city gas distribution (CGD) players. Spot as well as crude-linked LNG prices are up YoY in 2QFY19; the INR has also depreciated. However, Indraprastha Gas (IGL), Mahanagar Gas (MGL), and Gujarat Gas (GUJGA) have already taken price hikes in 2QFY19, which should take care of the increased cost. We prefer IGL among CGD players due to (a) higher longevity of volume growth compared to MGL, and (b) higher share of CNG v/s PNG, supporting stable EBITDA/SCM. The recent stock price correction offers an excellent opportunity to add, in our view.

Continue to like OMCs: We expect inventory gains to be much lower than what was seen in 1QFY19. Core GRM is expected to be similar to that in 1QFY19. We expect OMCs’ core earnings to improve sequentially in 2QFY19. Among the OMCs, we have a higher preference for Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL) due to (a) it having the highest diversification, (b) its strong free cash flow generation, and (c) its inexpensive valuations.

Yet another good quarter for RIL: RIL is expected to clock in a GRM of USD10.2/bbl, led by sequentially weaker light-heavy differential. Petchem segment is expected to benefit from healthy deltas and strong volume growth.

ONGC appears attractive: Higher oil prices result in higher realizations for upstream companies. ONGC has been showing growth in its oil and gas production, unlike OINL. We prefer ONGC, as (a) its cost efficiency should result in a decline in opex, (b) gas production is likely to grow ~8-10% annually for the

next 3-4 years, (c) oil production is set to increase marginally, (d) it has no subsidy burden so far, and (e) valuations are attractive.

Aegis Logistics

CMP: INR186 TP: INR310 (+66%) Buy AGIS is an attractive play in India’s rising LPG consumption. Its

recently-commissioned Haldia LPG terminal is expected to drive the next leg of growth for the LPG segment.

Liquids segment is expected to remain a cash-cow for the company and should grow in line with capacity addition.

We estimate AGIS’ EBITDA at INR1bn (+47% YoY; +16% QoQ), led by a ramp-up of Haldia and Pipavav LPG terminals.

We estimate PAT at INR641m (+23% YoY; +24% QoQ). AGIS trades at 19.0x FY20E EPS of INR10.3 and 12.0x FY20E

EV/EBITDA. Maintain Buy.

Key issues to watch for (a) Ramp-up of Pipavav and Haldia LPG terminal, (b) Capacity

addition in the liquids segment, (c) Clarity on the commissioning of two new LPG terminals.

BPCL

CMP: INR377 TP: INR393 (+4%) Buy We expect BPCL’s core earnings to improve QoQ (decline YoY),

primarily due to poorer core refining margins. We model nil subsidy-sharing for OMCs; subsidy in 2QFY19 would

be entirely borne by the government. We peg BPCL’s refinery throughput at 7.6mmt for 2QFY19 v/s

7.7mmt in 1QFY19 and 7.0mmt in 2QFY18. We model core GRM of USD4/bbl and total inventory gains of

INR3.9b for BPCL in 2QFY19. We expect BPCL to report adjusted EBITDA of INR25.3b (-13% YoY;

+33% QoQ) in 2QFY19. We estimate PAT at INR16.5b (-30% YoY; -28% QoQ) for 2QFY19. BPCL trades at 7.3x FY20E EPS of INR50.4 and 1.5x FY20E BV, with

~5% dividend yield. Maintain Buy.

Key issues to watch for (a) Inventory and forex change impact, (b) GRM, (c) Kochi refinery

GAIL

CMP: INR382 TP: INR385 (+1%) Neutral We expect GAIL to report adjusted PAT of INR14.7b (+12% YoY and

+17% QoQ). We model nil subsidy-sharing for GAIL in 2QFY19. We expect marginal improvement in gas transmission, led by higher

LNG imports as well as domestic gas production. Expect the petrochemicals division to drive profitability during the

quarter for the company. We estimate EBITDA at INR23.3 in 2QFY19 v/s INR20.7b in 2QFY18

and INR22.4b in 1QFY19. Segmental EBIT (pre-subsidy) is expected at INR22.7b (+16% YoY,

+6% QoQ), led by a turnaround in the petchem division and higher gas transmission.

GAIL trades at 10.9x FY20E EPS of INR35.1. Maintain Neutral.

Key issues to watch for (a) Petchem profitability, (b) profitability in the gas trading

business, (c) progress of pipeline projects, (d) pending tariff revisions for key pipelines, and (e) visibility on placement of US contracts.

CMP: INR222 TP: INR303 (+36%) Buy We model Dahej LNG volumes at 207tbtu, with 109% utilization,

and Kochi LNG volumes at 8tbtu, with 13% utilization in 2QFY19. We expect PLNG to report PAT of INR5.8b (-26% YoY; -2% QoQ) and

EBITDA of INR8.9b (-17% YoY; -6% QoQ) for 2QFY19. PLNG’s long-term growth would depend on Dahej’s ramp-up and

Kochi terminal’s pipeline connectivity. As against 15mmt capacity, PLNG has ~16mmt long-term take-or-

Reliance Industries

CMP: INR1,205 TP: INR1,484 (+23%) Buy We expect RIL to report GRM of USD10.2/bbl v/s USD10.5/bbl in

1QFY19 and USD12.0/bbl in 2QFY18. We model a premium of USD4.1/bbl over benchmark GRM of USD6.1/bbl.

Petrochemical segment is expected to do better due to healthy deltas and strong volume growth in the segment.

We expect RIL to report consolidated EBITDA of INR211b v/s INR207b in 1QFY19 and INR156b in 2QFY18.

We expect RIL to report consolidated PAT of INR100.5b (up 24% YoY and +6% QoQ).

RIL trades at 13.4x FY20E EPS of INR92. Core segment performance is expected to be strong, going forward. Positive developments in the telecom business should drive growth further for the company. Maintain Buy.

Double-digit sales growth likely again for sector players EBITDA, PAT to grow strongly

The two companies under our coverage likely to report strong numbers We expect revenue growth of 20.4% YoY for our Retail Universe in 2QFY19. EBITDA is expected to increase by 24.7% YoY and adj. PAT by 27.1% YoY. Titan’s (TTAN) Jewelry segment sales growth is likely to come in at ~25% YoY. In the recent quarters, Watches sales have recovered strongly on a like-to-like basis, but the GST rate cut is likely to impact reported sales growth. The company’s overall sales/EBITDA are expected to grow by 20% and PAT by 21.4% YoY. An unusually high operating margin of 12.1% in the base quarter means that operating leverage-led margin expansion may not come through in 2QFY19, despite likely healthy 20% sales growth. For Jubilant Foodworks (JUBI), we expect sales to increase 22.5% YoY in 2QFY19, with same-store-sales (SSS) growing 22% YoY. We note that JUBI had recorded SSS growth of 5% in the base quarter 2QFY18. Thus, a favourable base and initiatives undertaken by the company should result in high SSS growth in 2QFY19. With SSS growth well above cost increases, margins are also expected to expand sharply by 250bp YoY, resulting in EBITDA growth of 44.3% YoY and PAT growth of 59.6% YoY.

Huge growth opportunity and visibility drive our preference for TTAN We maintain our Buy rating on TTAN. In FY18, TTAN accounted for just over 6% of the INR2t jewelry market. Regulations governing the segment, including identity proofs for all transactions over INR 200,000, GST implementation and crackdown on black money, have tilted trade decisively in favor of organized players, among which TTAN is a dominant player in terms of scale and trust. Earnings CAGR is likely to be very impressive for the company at 27.5% over FY18-20. Moreover, the recent share price correction provides an attractive entry opportunity, with valuations also dipping below 40x FY20E EPS. We like JUBI’s business model with strong earnings growth potential on a recovery. However, with poor visibility of double-digit SSSG beyond the near term (which is aided by a weak base), fair valuations of 44.2x FY20E EPS (despite 36% EPS CAGR assumption over FY18-20) make us vary of turning constructive. We, thus, maintain our Neutral rating on the stock.

September 2018 Results Preview | Sector: Technology

Two propitious strokes – one of order, the other of luck

The usual second-quarter seasonal strength, coupled with the benefits from a favorable currency, is likely to drive a continued recovery for the technology sector.

Revenue for Tier-I vendors is likely to increase by 9.4% YoY in constant currency terms (compared to 7.8% in 1QFY19 and 6.8% in 2QFY18), taking further strides toward entering a double-digit growth trajectory.

INR depreciation and an improved performance are likely to act as margin tailwinds, driving stronger EBITDA growth. Also, with lower hedge gains being more than offset by sharp translation gains, PAT growth would come in even better.

Growth and profitability trends are likely to be polarized, with USD revenue/EBITDA/PAT growth expected to be at 7%/18%/18% YoY for Tier-I and 15%/37%/45% YoY for Tier-II.

Bottoming cyclical pressures will feed into valuation multiples favorably, while supportive currency movements will underpin earnings growth, in our view.

Expect uptrend in growth to continue The continued upward trajectory reinforces the outlook for Indian technology

services. Considering the improving demand outlook, resonated in a pick-up in deal wins and more-so in commentary across verticals (especially in the crucial ones like BFSI) and supported by seasonal strength, we expect Tier-I to deliver CC revenue growth of 9.4% YoY for 2QFY19, as against 7.8% in 1QFY19 and 6.8% in 2QFY18.

TCS is expected to deliver double-digit growth (12% YoY CC) this quarter. Other Tier-I vendors are expected to exhibit 150-300bp improvement in YoY growth rates in 2QFY19. For WPRO and HCLT, organic growth is expected to linger in the low-to-mid single-digit range.

Currency support on margins While the last year was characterized by moderate growth and profitability

improvement (mainly led by efficiency enhancement), we believe better revenue growth and the near-term benefits of currency depreciation are likely to continue fueling margin expansion.

We expect EBITDA margins to expand 100bp YoY to 24.6% in 2QFY19. On a sequential basis, too, the pressures of wage hikes and visa expenses are largely behind, likely driving margin expansion of 60bp QoQ.

YoY margin expansion is likely to be the sharpest for TECHM (+290bp), followed by HCLT (+120bp) and TCS (+80bp). INFO and WPRO are likely to see YoY contraction in margins by 50bp – the former impacted by investments and the latter by multiple vertical/client/internal issues.

Translation gains to further boost bottom line Sharp INR depreciation in 2QFY19 (4% QoQ) should lead to a reduction in hedge

gains, or hedge losses, depending on the cover and rate for various companies. However, on a closing basis, the INR has depreciated by 5% QoQ – this should result in very strong translation gains for the sector on the net monetary asset position denominated in foreign currency, further boosting PAT growth.

October 2018 259

September 2018 Results Preview | Sector: Technology The quarter, thus, gets defined by two strokes – one of operational upgrades,

and the other of currency – both working in favor of better numbers.

Watch out for INFO’s guidance; reflection of BFS commentary in numbers INFO should continue guiding for 6-8% YoY growth in constant currency. We

expect INFO to raise its margin guidance by 50bp, considering the more benign currency and the pre-determined nature of its investments.

We expect TCS to continue its outlook of gradually accelerating revenue growth, thanks to the recent deal wins. The company should also retain its EBIT margin guidance of 26-28%.

We expect WPRO’s revenue growth to improve sequentially, especially given the recent deal wins. We are assuming a guidance of 1-3% QoQ CC for 3QFY19, hinged on commencement of revenue from the Alight deal.

Tier-II outperformance likely to continue These trends would also be exhibited in Tier-II providers, but to a larger extent,

because of (a) company-specific factors resulting in mid-teens growth for several vendors over the last year and (b) higher exposure to the US as a geography (and currency) leading to a larger pass-through of benefits associated with the depreciation of the INR against the USD.

Our expectations for USD revenue/EBITDA/PAT growth for the Tier-II coverage universe stand at 15/37/45% YoY, which signify another quarter of outperformance relative to Tier-I companies.

Valuation and view In our view, bottoming cyclical pressures and improved capital allocation are

factors that will feed into valuation multiples favorably. Moreover, currency will keep earnings growth ticking further. That said, many stocks demonstrating the impact on earnings and increasing payouts already appear expensive. We remain selective on our picks, looking at both performance improvement and valuation comfort.

Amongst the Tier-I, we prefer (i) INFO where valuations are expected to catch up with that of TCS as the performance gap narrows, now that INFO is also on the path to being free of past internal issues and (ii) TECHM because of the likelihood of it benefitting from a 5G-related spend uptick in the Communications vertical. WPRO appears to be an attractive tactical bet as it has been seeing a resolution of the several issues it had been facing.

Amongst the Tier-II vendors, we prefer (i) MTCL where organic growth has resurrected sharply and the outlook amongst key customers continues to beam positivity, (ii) ZENT where restructuring led by the new leadership has finally started bearing fruit, placing growth in the mid-teens, like that for peers, and (iii) PSYS where underperformance (which will also continue in 2Q) has led to a considerable discount compared to peers, but strength in Digital and upside risks from recent investments (IBM IoT and other partnerships) have the potential to bring it back on the growth path.

CMP: INR759 TP: INR780 (+3%) Neutral We expect CYL’s USD revenue to grow 3.9% QoQ in 2QFY19. In

the core services business, CYL’s revenue is expected to increase by 3.0% QoQ (3.8% QoQ CC) v/s flat growth in the previous quarter.

In Rangsons, post a weak 1Q, we expect a pick-up in revenue to USD20m (+11% QoQ), aiding consolidated growth.

Margins are expected to expand 100bp QoQ to 13.2%. We expect the headwinds of wage hike and investments in the NBA program to be more than offset by INR depreciation and an improvement in margins in Rangsons.

Our PAT estimate of INR1.3b represents an increase of 52% QoQ, led by seasonal strength in Services, normalization in Rangsons, INR depreciation and steep translation gains.

The stock trades at 18.0x FY19E and 15.4x FY20E EPS. Maintain Neutral.

HCL Technologies

CMP: INR1,098 TP: INR1,100 (+0%) Neutral We expect HCLT’s revenue to grow by 2.5% QoQ on a CC basis,

aided by revenue from new IP deals and the integration of Actian. Pressures from seasonality in IP and continued weakness in India

are expected to weigh on organic growth in the quarter. Organic growth for the quarter is expected to be at 1.4% QoQ CC,

similar to that achieved in the previous quarter. Integration of Actian is expected to add 110bp to this, taking CC growth to 2.5% QoQ and USD growth to 1.7% QoQ (80bp cross-currency headwind).

EBIT margin is likely to inch up by 20bp QoQ to 19.9%, with IP seasonality and wage hikes offsetting most of the INR depreciation benefits. With this, we expect 20% EBIT margin for FY19, within the 19.5-20.5% guidance range.

Adjusted PAT is likely to grow by 13% QoQ to INR27.2b. The stock trades at 14.6x FY19E and 13.3x FY20E EPS. Maintain

CMP: INR431 TP: INR460 (+7%) Neutral We expect USD revenue to increase by 4% QoQ, impacted by

cross-currency headwinds to the tune of 50bp. HEXW has been witnessing a pick-up in growth since 4QCY18,

when it got past its client-specific issues. We expect a continual of that trend in this quarter as well.

EBITDA margin at 16.3% embeds an expansion of 70bp, primarily with strong revenue growth, INR depreciation and the absence of visa expenses more than offsetting offshore wage hikes.

Our PAT estimate for the quarter is INR1,657m, up 8% from the previous quarter, on the back of the strong operational performance and currency benefits.

CMP: INR744 TP: INR875 (+18%) Buy Compared to the weak start to FY19 (0.9% QoQ CC growth in 1Q),

we expect acceleration now, led by seasonal strength and an improvement in verticals like BFS, resulting in 3.5% QoQ CC growth for 2QFY19.

Cross-currency headwinds are expected to result in 2.7% QoQ growth in USD terms.

EBIT margin is expected to expand by 40bp QoQ to 24.1%, led by INR depreciation, partly offset by wage hikes and variable pay.

With margins expected at the higher end of its guided range and most pressures for the year behind, we expect INFO to raise its annual EBIT margin guidance by 50bp.

Our PAT estimate is INR41.5b (+7% QoQ), primarily led by higher growth and margin expansion.

The stock trades at 19.6x FY19E and 16.3x FY20E earnings. Buy.

Key issues to watch for Update on internal stability of the company and strategy under

the new leadership. Outlook for verticals like BFS and Retail. Commentary around margins in lieu of new investments and

KPIT Technologies

CMP: INR222 TP: INR320 (+44%) Neutral We expect revenue to increase by 2.7% QoQ in constant currency

terms. As seen in recent quarters, we expect the strength in Engineering to be partly weighed upon by weakness in IT services.

In USD terms, revenue is expected to grow by 1.9% QoQ, implying cross-currency headwinds of 80bp.

We expect margins for KPIT to expand sequentially by 20bp to 12.3%. We expect this to be a function of wage hikes (-230bp), absence of one-time expenses from 1Q (+100bp), INR depreciation (+120bp) and operational efficiencies (+30bp).

Our PAT estimate of INR982m (+19% QoQ) is a function of higher other income, led by translation gains.

CMP: INR1,075 TP: INR1,260 (+17%) Buy 1QFY19 was particularly strong for MTCL with 8.2% QoQ CC

growth. Growth on that base is expected to moderate slightly, but still remain strong.

With this, we expect CC revenue growth of 5.7% QoQ; cross-currency headwinds of 70bp would mean USD revenue growth lands at 5.0% QoQ in 2QFY19.

EBITDA margin is expected to expand by 140bp QoQ to 15.5%, primarily because of INR depreciation, absence of wage hikes and absence of the Stanford endowment (60bp).

Our PAT estimate for the quarter is INR2.24b, which implies sequential growth of 42%. MTCL’s higher sensitivity to INR/USD movement on operating margins, lower outstanding hedges and translation gains should benefit bottom-line growth in this quarter.

The stock trades at 20.4x FY19E and 16.7x FY20E earnings. Buy.

NITEC saw strong growth across verticals in 1Q. We expect this trend to continue, leading to 5% QoQ CC growth in 2QFY19.

However, cross-currency headwinds would shave off 200bp of this growth, resulting in 3.0% QoQ growth in USD terms.

We expect EBITDA margin to expand by 100bp QoQ to 16.8% in the absence of wage hikes, visa expenses and revenue pressures. The benefit of INR depreciation would be limited though, since hedge losses would be booked in revenue.

Our PAT estimate is INR961m (+12% QoQ), primarily led by strength in the operating performance.

CMP: INR757 TP: INR950 (+25%) Buy We expect 0.7% QoQ CC growth in revenue for PSYS in 1QFY19.

This would be a function of strength in Digital, offset by pressure in IP revenue and in revenue from IBM IoT.

With this, we also expect flattish margin trends (+10bp QoQ to 16.9%) despite the INR depreciation.

Pressure in IP revenue and wage hikes are expected to result in a contraction of EBITDA margin to the tune of 110bp, despite INR depreciation. Management had cited a 250bp impact because of wage hikes.

Our PAT estimate for the quarter is INR934m, up 6.9% QoQ, primarily because of higher other income (increased translation gains).

The stock trades at 15.7x FY19E and 12.7x FY20E earnings. Buy. Key issues to watch for Performance and outlook for top clients in ISV (ex-IBM) Commentary on traction with Enterprise customers and

TCS

CMP: INR 2,256 TP: INR2,050 (-9%) Neutral Barring BFS (which only showed growth in the last quarter), all

segments for TCS were growing in healthy single-digits or double-digits YoY.

On the back of USD 1.6b deal win in BFSI alone, we expect high growth momentum from the largest revenue contributing vertical.

Execution of recent deal wins and seasonal strength would ensure maintenance of revenue growth trends, in our view. We expect 4% QoQ CC growth in 2QFY19 (2.8% QoQ in USD terms).

Our EBIT margin estimate for 2Q stands at 26.1% (+100bp QoQ), primarily led by INR depreciation, and as most margin headwinds are now behind.

Our PAT estimate stands at INR77.9b (+6% QoQ), led by sequential growth in operating parameters.

The stock trades at 26.4x FY19E and 24.7x FY20E earnings. Neutral.

Wipro

CMP: INR331 TP: INR300 (-9%) Neutral Wipro’s revenue growth guidance for 2QFY19 (0.3 to 2.3% QoQ

CC) was impacted by continued restructuring in India/Middle East, uncertainty in HPS and pressure in Utilities.

Our expectation for the quarter stands at the mid-point of the guided range, at 1.3% QoQ CC. Cross-currency headwinds of 120bp are likely to result in 0.1% QoQ growth in USD revenue.

We expect EBIT margin in IT Services to expand by 170bp to 17.3% led by INR depreciation (100bp), absence of one-time restructuring expenses (40bp) and improvement in operational efficiencies (30bp).

Our PAT estimate is INR22.2b (+21% QoQ). This would be led by the sharp improvement in profitability in both Services and Products.

CMP: INR 321 TP: INR375 (+17%) Buy We expect revenue of USD140m, representing growth of 3.5%

QoQ. This would translate into 4.5% QoQ CC growth, a cross-currency headwind of 100bp for ZENT.

Growth would be a function of strength in Digital, a recovery in the US and ramp-up of recent deal wins.

We expect EBITDA margin to contract by 100bp QoQ to 11.9% due to effects of wage hikes, partially offset by INR depreciation and the absence of client-related bankruptcy costs.

Our PAT estimate is INR955m, up 16% QoQ, on account of higher forex gains (translation gains).

The battle of survival continuesPostpaid downtrading and Jiophone-led setback are the key hurdles

After nearly a year of hostile environment (since RJio’s commercial launch),downtrading in the prepaid category seems to have reduced. However, the postpaidcategory now appears to have emerged as the new turf of competition anddowntrading is clearly evident in this category. Further, re-launch of Jiophone (nowcompatible with whatsapp, youtube apps) at an attractive purchase price of INR501and the launch of JioPhone 2 are a worrisome for incumbents. This, coupled withseasonal weakness and high network opex/capex, is likely to impact the fortunes ofthe telecom industry.

Bharti is expected to report its first-ever quarter of net loss (INR2.1b) in 2QFY19, ledby a continued decline in EBITDA (-6% QoQ). Despite merger synergies, Idea isexpected to report a 32% QoQ decline in EBITDA due to intense competition. Mergerwith Vodafone India’s financials effective Sept’18 (with inclusion of settlementcharges and initial low-hanging synergy gains) may also impact Idea’s performance.We, thus, do not hazard a guess.

RJio’s EBITDA is likely to increase 15% QoQ to INR36.2b, primarily led by strong 15%QoQ subscriber growth, partly offset by cost escalation.

Bharti Infratel’s consol. EBITDA is likely to decline 5% QoQ, while TCom’s EBITDA isexpected to grow 3% QoQ.

Jio’s postpaid offerings and Jiophone re-launch - prolonging competitive pressure Our channel checks indicate that Jiophone is continually gaining traction, led by (i) an enticing purchase price of INR501, (ii) attractive price plans and (iii) compatibility with popular apps like WhatsApp and YouTube. Consequently, the incumbents are witnessing a higher churn among the sub INR30-40 APRU subscribers. On the contrary, the launch of Jiophone 2 – the advanced version of Jiophone – is witnessing a lukewarm response. Downtrading, albeit marginal, still continues in the prepaid market, but it is now also seen in the postpaid category. This offers limited incentive for RJio to increase pricing, given the healthy traction in subscriber growth.

No solace on the ARPU front Pressure on APRU continues mounting due to seasonal weakness, downtrading in the postpaid category, Jiophone-led churn (of low ARPU subscribers) and marginal (yet continued) downtrend in the prepaid category. We expect Bharti/Idea’s ARPU to decline sharply by 8%/4% QoQ to INR97/INR96. Bharti’s ARPU decline is accentuated by the impact of low-ARPU Telenor subscribers (driving only 6% QoQ average subscriber growth). Idea remains vulnerable to RJio’s aggressive undercutting strategy – we expect a 1% QoQ decline in its average subscriber base. RJio’s ARPU is expected to remain flat QoQ at INR135.

Intensifying competition, seasonal weakness to hurt India wireless revenue for incumbents Marred by intense competition and seasonal weakness, we expect Bharti’s India wireless revenue to decline 2% QoQ (-16% YoY) to INR102.7b. Modest 2-3% QoQ growth in Africa, enterprise and digital biz, however, is likely to provide some support. We, thus, expect a marginal 0.5% QoQ (-8% YoY) drop in Bharti’s consolidated revenue to INR199.8b. Continuous loss in the subscriber market share, coupled with APRU downtrading, should lead to 5% QoQ (-25% YoY) decline in Idea’s revenue to INR56.0b. RJio, on the contrary, is expected to continue its strong growth momentum; expect 15% QoQ (+51% YoY) growth in revenue to INR92.9b, led by robust (15%) average subscriber growth.

India wireless EBITDA – a mixed bag Bharti’s India wireless EBITDA is expected to decline 15% QoQ (-44% YoY) to INR23.5b due to (a) 2% QoQ revenue decline and (b) 7% QoQ increase in network cost, partly offset by Telenor merger synergies. However, a modest uptick in Africa biz and other verticals should arrest the decline in Bharti’s consolidated EBITDA – we expect a 6% QoQ decline (-20% YoY) to INR63.4b. The double whammy of a steep 5% QoQ decline in revenue and rising opex is expected to outweigh the merger synergies for Idea. Consequently, we expect Idea’s EBITDA to decline by 32% QoQ (-70% YoY). RJio, however, should report 15% QoQ growth in EBITDA to INR36.2b on the back of strong revenue growth, partly offset by a rise in operating expenses (network cost to increase by 15% QoQ).

Bharti’s India wireless EBITDA margin is likely to contract ~340bp QoQ (-1,150bp YoY) to 22.9%. However, support from the high-margin Africa and enterprise businesses should limit Bharti’s consolidated EBITDA margin contraction to 31.8% (-170bp QoQ). Idea’s consolidated EBITDA margin is expected to contract 310bp QoQ to 8.1%. RJio’s EBITDA margin is expected to remain steady at 38.9%.

Rising network cost – another hurdle: Vodafone/Idea-led steep decline intenancies (consequent higher rental sharing) and soaring crude/diesel prices areexpected to result in higher network costs for telcos. We expect Bharti’sconsolidated/RJio’s network cost to rise 5%/15% QoQ. Idea is expected to reporta meager 1% QoQ decline in network cost, as merger synergies would largely beoffset by the impact of higher network cost.

Bharti’s Africa EBITDA margin to stabilize We expect Bharti’s Africa revenue to grow 2% QoQ to INR53.7b, mainly on the back of subscriber growth. A lean cost base is expected to limit Africa’s high base margin expansion; expect EBITDA margin to remain steady at 35.2% and EBITDA to grow 2% QoQ to INR18.9b.

Bharti Infratel: EBITDA continues to decline Bharti Infratel should see the impact of (a) exit of 27,447 tenancies by Vodafone-Idea since Sept-18 (this should have a one month impact of INR60-65m on Bharti Infratel’s consol. revenue) and (b) impact of 6,650 discontinued tenants (exited in

September 2018 Results Preview | Sector: Telecom

1QFY19, revenue impact of INR20-25m per month). This should be partly offset by higher rental rates for lower tenancy. Subsequently, we expect rental revenue to decline 6% QoQ to INR20.7b. However, 4% QoQ growth in energy revenue (led by higher diesel prices) should limit consolidated revenue decline to 2% QoQ (to INR36.0b). Consol. EBITDA is expected to decline 5% QoQ to INR14.4b, with the margin likely to contract 130bp QoQ to 40.1%. Since the clean-up of smaller player tenancies is largely over, we expect consol. co-location exits of (Vodafone-Idea led) 27,447 (tenancies to reach ~1,73,331).

Tata Communications: Data EBITDA to support overall growth Data revenue is expected to increase 2% QoQ to INR29.3b, primarily led by growth in the services segment (+4% QoQ). However, this will partly be offset by a 1% QoQ decline in voice revenue (INR10.2b), leading to marginal 1% QoQ growth in consol. revenue to INR39.5b. Consol. EBITDA is likely to grow 3% QoQ to INR5.7b on the back of 4% QoQ data EBITDA growth (INR5.0b), partly offset by a 1% QoQ decline in voice EBITDA (INR0.7b). Narrowing losses in the growth segment should result in ~40bp QoQ expansion in the data EBITDA margin to 17.2%, leading to a 30bp QoQ jump in consol. EBITDA margin to 14.5%.

Our view: Competition in the telecom sector continues unabated – rather it is intensifying in the postpaid category. This, coupled with pressure exerted by Jiophone (including Jiophone 2), is expected to keep ARPUs at suppressed levels, making the dent deeper in incumbents’ margins. We believe RJio’s aggressive strategy of undercutting incumbents to gain subscriber market share would continue for a few more quarters. Until then, the merger synergies should provide some solace to the incumbents. However, as the flux gets settled, we believe ARPU accretion should kick in, driving EBITDA and FCF growth.

INR36.0b. We expect consolidated EBITDA to decline 5% QoQ to INR14.4b

and margins to contract 130bp to 40.1%. We expect (Vodafone-Idea led) 27,447 QoQ cut in tenancies to

1,73,331 co-locations. This is expected to hurt consolidated rentalrevenue (INR20.7b, -6% QoQ). However, soaring diesel pricesshould drive energy and other reimbursement revenue (+4% QoQto INR15.3b), partly offsetting the impact of a decline in rentalrevenue.

The drag in consolidated margins is due to 250bp QoQcontraction in rental EBITDA margin to 65.7%. Energy EBITDAmargin is likely to expand 390bp QoQ to 7.6%.

Vodafone Idea CMP: INR37 TP: INR55 (+51%) Buy We expect consolidated revenue to decline 5% QoQ (-25% YoY) to

INR56.0b, led by a decline in APRU as well as a loss in subscribermarket share. Merger with Vodafone India effective Sept’18with inclusion of settlement charges and initial low hangingsynergy gains may have a bearing. We therefore do not hazard aguess.

We expect 4% QoQ decline in ARPU to INR96, impacted bycontinued downtrading.

Consolidated EBITDA at INR4.5b is likely to decline 32% QoQ,mainly due to (1) revenue decline and (2) increasing opex, whichare likely to offset the benefits from merger synergies.

Subsequently, EBITDA margin is expected to contract 310bp QoQto 8.1%.

We expect Idea to report a net loss of INR19.1b.

Idea trades at merged co. EBITDA of 21.4x FY19E and 9.8x FY20E.Maintain Buy.

CMP: INR488 TP: INR670 (+37%) Buy We expect consolidated revenue to grow marginally by 1% QoQ (-

6% YoY) to INR39.5b as growth in data revenue is expected to be offset by muted voice revenue.

Data revenue is likely to grow 2% QoQ to INR29.3b mainly led by growth services segment; expect voice revenue to decline 1% QoQ to INR10.2b.

We expect consolidated EBITDA to grow 3% QoQ to INR5.7b and margin to expand marginally by 30bp to 14.5%. Data EBITDA is expected to grow 4% QoQ to INR5.0b (led by lower losses in Growth segment), while voice EBITDA is likely to decline 1% QoQ to INR0.7b.

Coal India to benefit from price hikes Valuations at lower end of historical range; we like COAL, PWGR, CESC, NTPC

Electricity generation grew ~6% YoY over July-August 2018. Conventional generation increased by ~4% over this two-month period. For 5MFY19, generation increased by ~5% YoY, slower than our estimated pace for full-year of ~6.3%. Conventional generation rose 3.7% YoY. Coal-based generation grew at a faster rate of 4.5% YoY due to weakness in hydro (-2% YoY) and tepid growth in gas (+2.8% YoY) in 5MFY19. Day-ahead volumes at IEX grew ~17% YoY due to some supply disruptions in 2QFY19. Average day-ahead prices declined 17% QoQ to INR3.9/kWh. Within our Utilities Universe, we expect Coal India to outperform, led by the price hike benefit. We expect EBITDA (ex-OBR) to decline ~5% QoQ (+387% YoY) to INR62.7b, even as volumes are down ~9% QoQ to 139mt. Power Grid’s PAT is expected to increase ~13% YoY to INR24.3b on account of continuing capitalization momentum. NTPC’s adj. PAT is expected to increase ~3% YoY to INR27.9b, led by growth in regulated equity, while reported PAT growth is also expected to be similar at ~4% YoY. NHP’s PAT is expected to decline ~17% YoY to INR8.4b due to lower other income. CESC’s standalone PAT growth will be muted as the regulator has not yet approved tariff hike for FY19. Tata Power’s adj. PAT is expected to improve QoQ on account of lower interest cost, led by repayment of debt from proceeds from the sale of non-core assets. Top picks – Coal India, Power Grid, CESC and NTPC We believe utility stocks have de-rated over the last few months due to the reversal in the interest rate cycle, to which they have a negative correlation. However, at current valuations, the sector is trading at the lower end of its 10-year historical P/E and P/BV range. Valuations are significantly discounting the risk to growth potential. Our top picks are Coal India (benefiting from strong earnings growth, led by price hike and operating leverage), Power Grid (visibility of earnings growth and best-in-class RoE), CESC (high RoE, steady growth in distribution business and value-unlocking through demerger) and NTPC (capitalization-driven double-digit regulated equity and earnings growth). We also like NHPC.

CMP: INR272 TP: INR354 (+30%) Buy We expect Coal India’s EBITDA (ex-OBR) to decline 5% QoQ

(+387% YoY) to INR62.7b due to lower volumes, partly offset by lower employee cost.

Dispatches are up 6% YoY/-9% QoQ to 139mt. FSA volumes are estimated to increase 10% YoY to 115mt due to strong power sector demand. E-auction volumes would be down 14% YoY at ~20mt.

FSA realization is estimated to increase 8% YoY to INR1,325/ton, led by the benefit of price hike.

marred primarily by intense competitive pressure in the denims segment.

EBIDTA margin is likely to expand 90 bp YoY to 8.8%; EBIDTA is likely to grow 25% YoY to INR2,594m.

We estimate a 28% YoY increase in adjusted PAT to INR825m. To factor in increased margin pressure in the Denim segment, we cut our estimated PAT by 5%/3% for FY19/FY20.

BSE

CMP: INR672 TP: INR 950(+41%) Buy We expect operating revenues from BSE to grow 9.4% YoY to

INR1.21b (excluding revenues from cash operations).

Turnover in cash equities during the quarter was down 22% YoY, driving our expectations of a 20% decline in transaction revenues to INR281m. Revenue from corporate services is expected to grow 6.5% YoY to INR565m. Other sources are assumed at INR350m v/s INR161m in the same quarter last year – the significant growth was driven by (1) contribution from monetization of BSE Star MF platform, and (2) a lower base of income from rent / training / infrastructure in 2QFY18.

We project total expenses to increase by 25.5% YoY to INR1.029, driving our EBITDA margin estimate of 14%, down 12 pp YoY. This reflects operating leverage in the business model.

We expect PAT of INR511m, down 23.2% YoY impacted by lower operating profit for the quarter.

The stellar volume growth in fertilizer is expected to be driven by healthy growth of 32% in NPK volumes and 62% growth in urea volumes.

EBITDA margin is likely to contract 250 bp to 13.1% due to a continuous rise in phosphoric acid prices, and EBITDA is likely to grow 11% YoY to INR6,309m.

Delta Corp CMP: INR215 TP: INR281 (+30%) Buy We expect revenue to grow 34% YoY to INR1,941m in 2QFY19,

driven by traction in Goa casinos and ramp-up of online business.

EBITDA margin is expected to contract by 1010 bp YoY to 35% on the back of lower margins in online business. At 35% EBITDA, margins will be flat QoQ. EBITDA is expected to grow 4% YoY to INR679m in 2QFY19.

On the back of a sharp drop in EBITDA margins, adjusted net profit is expected to grow by just 2% YoY to INR441m in 2QFY19.

Fine print of land-based casino policy is not yet announced on account of Mr. Parrikar’s (Chief Minister of Goa) inability to attend office due to health issues; however, broad contours of the policy has already been announced.

We have reduced our target P/E multiple to 30x (earlier 32x) and thus, revise our target price to INR281/share and maintain Buy.

CMP: INR63 Under Review We expect revenues to grow 7% to INR5,273m in 2QFY19 given

the expected onset of re-stocking by US retailers.

The inventory level of US clothing and clothing accessories’ retailers has stabilized post a continuous decline during April 2017 to January 2018, which should aid the gradual recovery in volume off-take.

EBITDA margin is likely to expand 20 bp YoY to 14.6%, and EBITDA is likely to grow 8% YoY to INR770m.

Consequently, adjusted PAT is expected to grow 10% YoY to INR395m in 2QFY19.

CMP: INR1391 TP: INR1550 (11%) Buy We expect standalone revenue to grow 22% YoY to INR2.75b. Recruitment segment (~70% of business) is estimated to grow

18.5% YoY to INR1.95b. We estimate real estate portal 99acres.com’s revenue at

INR440m (35% YoY) and that of matrimonial portal Jeevansathi.com at INR207m (up 17% YoY).

99acres.com should see better growth led by a more buoyant real estate market, and more clarity on RERA.

Our EBITDA margin estimate for the quarter stands at 32.4% similar to the previous quarter, and a 700 bp decline YoY. Margins are negatively impacted by an increase in advertising expenses.

Consequently, we expect PAT of INR771m, decline of 6.8% YoY.

CMP: INR711 TP: INR1,000(+41%) Buy Total volumes at MCX traded during the quarter stood at

INR17.2t, up 4.4% QoQ and 22.3% YoY.

Volumes since 4QFY18 have seen a strong pick-up after four quarters of YoY decline, post demonetization. This drives our revenue expectation of INR757m, which is an increase of 12.5% YoY.

Consequently EBIT margins are expected to expand by 590 bp YoY to 29.4%.

We expect PAT to increase by 9% YoY to INR316m.

Navneet EducationCMP: INR115 TP: INR160 (+39%) Buy We expect revenue to grow 57.6% YoY to INR2,890m in 2QFY19.

The robust growth will be driven by change in syllabus of standard tenth in Maharashtra.

EBIDTA margin is likely to expand 970 bp YoY to 25% and EBIDTA is likely to grow by 160% YoY to INR722m; primarily due to higher contribution of supplementary books business.

Typically, 1Q is the largest quarter in Publishing / supplementary book business, but due to licensing issues in the industry there were certain delays in 1QFY19. Due to this, we expect spillovers in 2QFY19.

We estimate PAT to grow 172% YoY to INR452m from INR166m. Maintain Buy.

Quess Corp

CMP: INR865 TP: INR980 (+13%) Neutral We expect revenue of INR21b for Quess in 2QFY19, signifying a

growth of 50% YoY.

This includes the full integration of TBSS, HCL Care, Greenpiece, Vedang Cellular and Monster.

Excluding these, revenue growth is expected at 28% YoY, which would be organic; primarily driven by strength in the segments of People and Services, and Integrated Facilities Management.

EBITDA margins at 5.2% are expected at similar level to that of 1QFY19.

Our PAT estimate is INR639m, down 59% YoY primarily because of (i) lower operating margins, (ii) higher depreciation, (iii) higher interest costs, and (iv) changes in the tax rate.

Key things to watch for Integration of recently acquired entities Restructuring of operations in the industrials segment Organic growth momentum, and traction in the general staffing

business post-GST

2QFY19. We expect recovery in specialty chemicals only in 2HFY19 and margin pressure in BOPP in the near-term.

We expect technical textile business to post a growth of 5% YoY, chemicals and polymers business to deliver 13% growth and packaging film business to post a growth of 35% YoY in 2QFY19.

We expect EBITDA margins to expand 160 bp to 18% on account of EBIT margin expansion of 150 bp (to 13.4%) in technical textile, and 220 bp (to 14.3%) in packaging film business. However, the margin in chemicals business is expected to contract 20 bp (to 12.9%) on account of rise in raw material costs.

EBITDA is likely to grow 29% YoY to INR2,715m. However, PAT growth is expected to be contained at 9.7% to INR1,127m on account of higher depreciation, interest cost and tax rate (deferred tax gain of INR165m in 2QFY18).

led by a growth of 13.6% in TCNA, 6.7% growth in standalone business and 10.2% growth each in TCEHL and TCAHL.

TCNA is expected to witness healthy earnings backed by currency depreciation, however, margins of the subsidiary are likely to be suppressed on account of a 4% expected rise in constant currency realization while EBITDA/MT remains flat at USD54/MT.

EBITDA margin is likely to remain flat at 23.7% as the US business and Rallis offset margin expansion in Africa, Europe and India. We expect a margin expansion of 50 bp in the standalone business, and of 30 bp each in TCEHL and TCAHL. TCNA and Rallis are expected to witness a margin contraction of 90 bp each.

EBITDA is likely to grow 11.6% YoY to INR7,116m. Consequently, adjusted PAT is expected to grow 24% YoY to INR3,201m in 2QFY19 driven by higher other income of INR750m v/s INR498m in 2QFY18.

We expect this to be a function of 12% YoY growth in Staffing And Allied Services, 230% YoY growth in Specialized Staffing and 100% YoY growth in Other HR services.

The upward trajectory on margins too is expected to continue, we estimate a 30 bp expansion YoY in EBITDA margin to 2.0%.

We do not expect any change in margins sequentially as some recent contracts have lower realization.

Our PAT expectation of INR228m (30% YoY) factors in a zero tax rate owing to benefits from Section 80JJJAA of the Income Tax Act.

driven by 8% growth in textiles segment and 9% growth in paper and chemicals segment.

EBITDA margin is likely to expand significantly by 500 bp to 20.5% driven by ramping up of towel and bedsheet utilization. EBIT margin in paper is expected to remain healthy at 36% (flattish QoQ, contraction of 130 bp YoY), while in textiles segment EBIT margin is expected to increase significantly by 480 bp to 8.7%.

EBITDA is likely to grow 43.3% YoY to INR2,485m. Consequently, adjusted PAT is expected to grow 83.9% YoY to INR936m in 2QFY19, aided by a lower tax rate of 28% v/s 32.2% in 2QFY18 (deferred tax expense of INR80m in 2QFY18).
