From the Editor’s Desk
From the Editor’s Desk Rupee Rumbles
Markets continued to climb the wall of worries in August, with the benchmark indices clocking
new lifetime highs. The Sensex and Nifty seemed to have dodged all macroeconomic
headwinds. The Q1 GDP growth number was the icing on the cake, coming in at 8.2%. However,
this was largely because of a low base. What adds to the confidence is that global ratings
agency Moody’s also gave a thumbs-up to the economy’s growth potential.
In the past three months alone, the benchmark indices have appreciated by 9-10%. This rally,
however, has been driven by handful of stocks. In fact, three companies, Reliance Industries,
TCS and Infosys, have contributed to 50% of the Nifty’s gains in the past one year. Thankfully,
there has been some recovery in the broader market also with CNX MidCap 100’s moving up
for the second consecutive month.
The market rally has been supported by strong domestic inflows and contribution from foreign
investors now. However, foreign fund inflows tend to be quite unpredictable. Global uncertainties
could add to the volatility. Already, the protectionist policy decision taken by US government
is creating global instability. The unwinding of accommodative monetary policy stance in the
US is further fuelling volatility in the currency markets and tremors of the same are being felt in
financial markets globally.
With the improving economic data in US, the probability of the eighth rate hike by the US Federal
Reserve is pretty high at over 94% as per Bloomberg consensus data. This essentially means
that the US dollar could strengthen further against major currencies including emerging market
currencies. The Indian rupee is also affected due to fiscal slippage concerns and the regulatory
ban on buyer credit through Letter of Understanding/Comfort, given the huge irregularities
detected in some accounts earlier this year.
The emerging scenario could put brakes on the markets’ upward momentum in the near term.
More importantly for investors, the research team believes that it is time to rejig the portfolio by
adding quality companies from sectors that stand to benefit from the continued depreciation in
the rupee, by taking some profits out of the performing consumption-driven companies. Also,
investors with a longer investment horizon should look at accumulating some of the corporate-
focused bank stocks gradually by withdrawing some money out of the retail-focused private
sector banks. The asset quality cycle could be peaking out and the valuation gap between
retail and corporate banks is quite wide now, which offers an opportunity for handsome gains
for patient investors.

USD-INR: CMP Rs. (71.76)

The Indian rupee depreciated by 3.57% in the previous month on account of strong dollar and escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China
and rising geopolitical tensions between US-Turkey, US-Iran and US-Russia. Traders are worried that economic trouble in Turkey may impact other
emerging markets as well. Further, market fears that rising crude oil prices will lead to inflammatory pressure and even hurt current account deficit.
Besides this, month-end dollar demand from oil importers added downside pressure.
Outlook: Indian rupee is expected to trade with a negative bias amid strong dollar and worries over fiscal slippages. Further, forex market sentiments
will be hurt on account of rising worries over trade tensions between the U.S. and its major trading partners along with escalating geopolitical tensions.
Additionally, surge in crude oil prices will hurt rupee. As per the Real Effective Exchange Rate (REER), based on a basket of currencies of 36 trading
partners, rupee is overvalued. Traders will remain cautious ahead of economic data from India. The expected trading range in the near term is 70.90-
72.70
EUR-INR: CMP Rs. (83.10)

Euro depreciated by 0.76% in the previous month on account of strong dollar and disappointing economic data from Eurozone. Further, the euro
plunged on concerns over the potential exposure of European banks to Turkey. Additionally, markets were worried about Italy’s new populist
government’s ability to finance the big spending plan.
Outlook: Euro is expected to trade with a negative bias on strong dollar and divergence in monetary policy. Further, traders will remain cautious ahead
of European Central Bank’s (ECB) monetary policy. ECB is likely to keep its policy unchanged, but more focus will be on statements from the central
bank for any hint on future monetary stance. If ECB signals a delay in monetary tightening, then we may see a sharp downside in euro. Traders are
worried over trade tensions between the US and its major trading partners. The expected trading range in the near term is 81.15-84.0.
GBP-INR: CMP Rs. (92.20)

The Pound Sterling depreciated by 1.25% in May amid strong dollar and on worries that U.K. might end up leaving European Union (EU) without any
deal. Further, EU’s chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, warned that he is strongly opposed to key parts of Theresa May’s Brexit plan.
Outlook: The Pound Sterling is expected to trade with a negative bias on account of strong US dollar and disappointing economic data from the U.K.
U.K. manufacturing and construction PMI data showed slow down in activity in the sectors . Further, worries over Brexit uncertainty and fear over
global trade war will hurt pound. Traders will remain cautious ahead of Bank of England’s (BOE) monetary policy meeting. BOE is likely to keep its
policy untouched, but more focus will be on statements from the central bank to get a hint on future monetary stance. The expected trading range in
the near term is 89.90-93.30.
JPY-INR: CMP Rs. (64.45)

Yen appreciated by 0.74% in the previous month as safe-haven demand increased on rising worries over trade tensions between the U.S. and China
and escalating geopolitical tensions between the US and Turkey. Further, upbeat economic data from Japan supported Yen.
Outlook: Yen is expected to trade with a negative bias on account of strong dollar and divergence in monetary policy. Traders will remain cautious
ahead of Bank of Japan’s monetary policy meeting outcome. However, sharp fall may be prevented as demand for a safe haven may improve amid
rising geopolitical tensions and worries over global trade war. The expected trading range in the near term is 62.70-65.40.

FUND MANAGER’S VIEW returns since inception and may be different
document.
Even as August was a trending month, there was one false signal that occurred owing to a sell
signal based on BSE data. The signal never occurred on screen. It is unusual that the BSE released
a closing price for the index that never existed. Else, we should have closed this month in the
green. We have to wait for the next market move to earn it back.
The market appears extremely overbought, based on derivatives data and there’s a lot of
complacency in the options market. Our sense is that we are on the verge of a large expansion Investments in
in volatility that will be positive for our products, but not for everyone else in the game. Big trends Nifty Index
on both sides should unfold going forward putting an end to months where we have seen a gain
of just 2-3%.

Remarks
Automobiles
Apollo Tyres  Apollo Tyres Limited (ATL) is the market leader in the truck and bus tyre segments with a 28% market share in
India. European operations are expected to post 33% revenue CAGR in the next two years, driven by ramp up in
the passenger car tyre capacity and commencement of truck tyre production from Hungary plant from Q2FY2019.
Further, Indian operations are on strong footing, with robust demand in the MHCV replacement segment and
passenger car and tractor segments. Moreover, the current axle overloading norms for MHCV OEMs are unlikely
to have any material impact on ATL. With ATL taking regular price hikes in the domestic business and with
Hungary plant attaining scale, we expect the topline and margins to improve in FY2019. We expect earnings to
grow by 40% in FY2019. We retain our Buy rating on the stock with an unchanged price target (PT) of Rs. 315.
Ashok Leyland  Ashok Leyland Limited (ALL), the second largest CV manufacturer in India, is a pure play on CV. The government’s
decision to allow 20-25% hike in axle load capacity is unlikely to impact new truck demand. The MHCV industry
posted strong growth of 19% and 20%, respectively, in July and August 2018 and this is contrary to our expectations
of subdued MHCV demand in the near term. OEMs stated that clarity has emerged on the norms and new trucks
are being sold without any modification. Moreover, as per CV players, overloading was already rampant and
increased load norms merely legalise the existing practice. On account of pick-up in economic growth, increased
infrastructure investment, increased mining and improved fleet operator profitability we expect MHCV demand to
remain strong. Given the strong volume offtake and consequent margin improvement, we expect profit to grow
by 32% y-o-y in FY2019. We upgrade our recommendation to “Buy” with a revised PT of Rs 165.
Bajaj Auto  Bajaj Auto Limited (BAL) is a leading motorcycle and three-wheeler (3W) manufacturer with a significant presence
in export markets. In the domestic market, it is a leader in the premium motorcycle segment. In a surprising
change in strategy, market share gains in the domestic motorcycle space have assumed priority for BAL. The
current strategy aims at re-energising dealer network and improving dealer viability. Management is willing to
sacrifice profitability to achieve this objective. BAL gained about 850 BPS market share in the entry level space to
34% in Q1FY2019 and is aiming to reach about 50% market share in the next two years. BAL made EBIDTA level
loss in the entry segment bikes and as such increasing proportion of entry bikes would exert further pressure on
profitability. We expect margins to fall by 210 BPS to 16.9% in FY2019. We downgrade our recommendation on the
stock from Buy to Hold with a PT of Rs. 2,905.
Gabriel India  Gabriel India Limited (GIL) is one of India’s leading manufacturers of shock absorbers and front forks with a
diversified customer base. GIL is poised to outpace industry growth as it has recently won new orders from
Suzuki Motorcycles India, India Yamaha Motors and a big order from Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India
(HMSI) for the supply of front forks for its largest selling scooter (Activa). In addition, GIL has witnessed strong
recovery in the aftermarket space post demonetisation and GST-related glitches. GIL is targeting to more than
double its aftermarket revenue to Rs. 500 crore by FY2021 as against Rs. 200 crore revenue in FY2018. Further,
GIL is introducing new products and expanding its network reach in the aftermarket space, which would boost
growth. We expect GIL to post a revenue CAGR of 18% over FY2018-FY2020, which is higher than the industry’s
growth. Further, with backward integration (GIL plans to manufacture piston rods in-house) and introduction of
technologically advanced products and improving high-margin aftermarket mix, we expect margins of GIL to
improve. We retain our Buy rating on the stock with a PT of Rs. 175.
Hero MotoCorp  Hero MotoCorp Limited (HMCL) is the largest 2W manufacturer in the world. FY2018 ended on a strong note
with the 2W industry reporting 15% growth. Key growth driver was the rural segment, which as per management
grew by 2-3% higher than the urban markets. Competitive intensity in the 2W industry has intensified with most
players prioritising market share gain over profitability. One of the competitors in the entry motorcycle segment
has resorted to aggressive pricing cuts to gain market share. As the entry segment forms around 75% of overall
sales of HMCL, it is exposed to intense pricing pressures. Further, fiscal incentives at Haridwar plant have expired,
which will likely impact margins going forward. We have cut earnings estimates by 11% and 13% for FY2019 and
FY2020, respectively, and downgrade our recommendation to Hold with a revised PT of Rs. 3,375.
M&M  M&M is a leading manufacturer of tractors and utility vehicles (UV) in India. FY2019 would be the third consecutive
year of normal monsoons in India, which would be a key driver for continued strong tractor sales momentum.

Further, higher MSPs, good crop growth, higher budgetary allocation for rural areas and farm waivers announced
in certain states would aid tractor volumes growth. Management has revised its guidance for FY2019 upwards
to 12-14% from the earlier guidance of 8-10%. We expect tractor sales to remain buoyant and expect tractor
volumes to report an 11% CAGR over the next two years. In the auto segment, lack of petrol variants and increased
competitive intensity led to market share drop for M&M. In an attempt to regain its market share, M&M is launching
two products (Marazzo –MPV to be launched in September 2018 and a compact SUV to be launched post the
festive season) in newer segments to plug portfolio gaps. Further, M&M has launched upgrades of two existing
models – the XUV5OO and TUV3OO plus during the quarter, which will boost volumes. FY2019 is likely to be
a bumper year for M&M, as both the automotive and tractor divisions would report double-digit volume growth.
M&M is the best stock in automotive segment to play the rural theme. We retain our Buy rating on the stock with
an unchanged PT of Rs. 1,020.
Maruti Suzuki  Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) is India’s largest passenger vehicle (PV) manufacturer. The company reported
a strong 50% market share as of FY2018. MSIL’s recent launches – upgraded Swift and Dzire – have received
an overwhelming response from its customers, which is reflected in waiting period of two weeks to four months.
Despite the commissioning of the first line at Gujarat plant leading to higher production, order book continued to
swell, pointing at a strong brand pull. Further, rural geographies, which account for one-third of total sales grew
strongly by 15% and would drive demand going ahead. Gujarat plant is ramping up with the second line (capacity
of 250,000 units) expected to go on stream by Q1CY2019. We expect MSIL to outgrow the PV industry, reporting
13% growth as against estimated industry growth of about 10%. The company is witnessing cost pressures and
has pointed at price hikes to mitigate cost pressures and maintain margins at current levels. We retain our Buy
rating on the stock with a PT of Rs. 10,500.
Rico Auto  Rico Auto (Rico) is one of the largest producers of high-pressure non-ferrous die castings for the auto sector..
Rico’s order book has strengthened further with Rs. 1,500 crore worth of order wins in Q1FY2019, taking the total
order book to Rs. 4,100 crore. These orders are executable over a project life of about 5-6 yearsand provides
strong growth visibility in the medium term. Moreover, the aftermarket segment is gaining traction gradually, with
revenue crossing Rs. 5 crore in Q1FY2019, and management has targeted revenue worth Rs. 30 crore from the
segment for FY2019. Rico is focusing on the improvement of employee productivity across its manufacturing
plants to enhance profitability. We expect revenue and earnings to report a 20% and 23% CAGR, respectively,
over FY2018-FY2020. We retain our Buy recommendation on the stock with an unchanged PT of Rs. 101.
TVS Motor  TVS Motor (TVSM) is the fourth largest 2W manufacturer in the country with a strong presence in the scooter
segment. Over the past couple of years, the scooter segment’s growth has surpassed that of the motorcycle
segment’s. TVSM is entering new product segments, which will enable it to maintain industry outperformance. After
reporting double-digit growth for Q1FY2019, the strong growth momentum is likely to sustain. Well-progressing
monsoon and higher MSPs are expected to boost rural demand. Moreover, recent launches/refreshes have been
well received and are gaining traction. Exports also are on a strong footing given the surge in crude prices and
increased availability of USD in key export markets. We expect overall volumes to grow by 18% in FY2019. Further
cost-control measures and price hikes would enable margin expansion. We retain our Buy rating on the stock with
a revised PT of Rs. 670.
Banks & Finance

Axis Bank  Axis Bank is the third-largest private sector bank, which continues to grow faster than the industry and has
diversified its book in favour of the retail segment (~40% of loans in the retail segment). The bank’s liability
profile has improved significantly, which would help sustain margins at healthy levels. We expect earnings growth
to remain reasonably strong, driven by healthy operating performance. Though asset quality pressures have
emerged as pain points due to exposure in the infrastructure and steel sectors, we expect the stress to persist in
the near term.
Bajaj Finance  Bajaj Finance, owned by Bajaj Finserv, is a fast-growing, well-diversified leading NBFC in the country. The company
has assets spread across products, viz. loans for consumer durables, 2Ws and 3Ws, loans to small and medium
enterprises (SME), mortgage loans and commercial loans. Apart from its strong loan growth, asset quality and
provisioning for Bajaj Finance remain among the best in the system. Given the strong growth rate, high margins
and return ratios, its premium valuations within the NBFC space are justified.

Bajaj Finserv  Bajaj Finserv is a financial conglomerate present in the financing business (vehicle finance, consumer finance and
distribution) and is among the top players in the life insurance and general insurance segments. Consumer finance
(Bajaj Finance) and general insurance businesses of the company continue to report a robust performance, while
the life insurance business is showing signs of an uptick, after being affected by a change in regulations.
Bank of Baroda  Bank of India has a network of over 4,800+ branches, spread across the country and abroad, along with a
diversified product and services portfolio, and steadily growing assets. Operating performance and earnings
have being steady despite significant business recalibration. Given the increase in the number of incremental
stressed loans and weaker capital position, valuations of the company may remain subdued.
Bank of India  Bank of India has a network of over 4,700+ branches, spread across the country and abroad, along with a
diversified product and services portfolio, and steadily growing assets. Operating performance and earnings
have eroded significantly due to margin deterioration and a sharp rise in NPAs. Given the rise in the number of
incremental stressed loans and weaker capital position, valuations of the company may remain subdued.
Capital First  Capital First (erstwhile Future Capital Holdings) had been acquired by global private equity firm, Warburg Pincus
(with a 36% stake). The present management has taken several initiatives to tap the high-growth retail product
segments, such as gold loans, loan against property and loan against shares. The company has a strong capital
adequacy ratio (CAR) and sound asset quality. Loan book of the company is expected to sustain 25-30% growth
over the next three years. As a result of several initiatives taken in the recent past, operating leverage will play
out and may lead to significant pick-up in profitability over the medium term.
Federal Bank  Federal Bank is among the better-performing old private sector banks in India with a strong presence in south
India, especially Kerala. Under the new management, the bank has taken several initiatives that will improve the
quality of its earnings and asset book. Asset quality has shown stress in the past few quarters. We, however,
expect a gradual improvement in NPAs and operating performance. Valuations seem attractive over the medium
to long term.
HDFC  HDFC is among the top mortgage lenders in the country providing housing loans to individuals, corporates and
developers. The company has interests in banking, asset management and insurance through its key subsidiaries.
As these subsidiaries are growing faster than HDFC, the value contributed by them would be significantly higher
going forward. Due to a dominant market share and consistent return ratios, the company should continue to
command a premium over other NBFCs.
HDFC Bank  HDFC Bank is among the top performing banks in the country having deep roots in the retail segment. Despite the
general slowdown in credit growth, the bank continues to report strong growth in advances from retail products.
Relatively high margins (compared with its peers), strong branch network and better asset quality make HDFC
Bank a safe bet with a scope for expansion in its valuations.
ICICI Bank  ICICI Bank is India’s largest private sector bank with a network of over 4,850 branches. The bank has made
inroads in to retail loans (~45% of the book) and has significantly improved its liability franchisee. Operating
profit improved significantly, though its exposure to some troubled sectors (such as infrastructure and steel)
led to increased pressure on asset quality. However, healthy growth in operating income and proceeds from
monetisation of its stake in various subsidiaries will help the bank to deal with its NPA challenges.
LIC Housing  LIC Housing Finance is one of the largest mortgage financiers in India with a market share of 11% and loan book
of over Rs. 1,00,000 crore. The company is promoted by Life Insurance Corporation of India, which is among the
most trusted brands in the country. With over 200 branches, 1,241 direct sales agents, 6,535 home loan agents
and 782 customer relationship associates, the company has one of the strongest distribution structures in India
to support business expansion. Though levers for NIM improvement are present, which include impact of lending
rate like (~50 BPS since April 2018) and large proportion of fixed rate borrowing, providing a stable funding cost
in an increasing interest rate scenario, we believe increasing competitive pressures may keep NIM range-bound
with evenly placed probability of NIM expansion.

Max India  Max India has demerged into three different entities, of which Max Financial Services will hold Max Life Insurance
(new Max IndiWa will hold Max Healthcare, Max Bupa Health Insurance and Antara businesses). Max Life Insurance
(held by Max Financial Services) is among the leading private sector insurers and has gained critical mass and
enjoys the best operating parameters in the industry. As the insurance sector is showing signs of stability, the
company’s favourable product mix and a strong distribution channel will result in healthy growth in premiums and
profits.
PNB  Punjab National Bank (PNB) has strong liability mixes in the banking space, with low-cost deposits constituting
over 44% of its total deposits. This helps the bank maintain one of the highest margins among PSBs. However,
with the recent fraud coming into limelight, we expect the stock to remain under pressure and earnings to be
impacted by higher provisioning.
PFS  PTC India Financial Services, owned by PTC India, is focused on providing financial solutions to projects in the
energy value chain. Given the robust lending opportunities in the renewable energy segment and the likely
reforms in the thermal power segment, loan growth is expected to remain strong over the next 2-3 years.
The proceeds from exits in investments would add to profitability. Asset quality, despite some deterioration, is
manageable.
SBI  State Bank of India (SBI) is the largest bank of India and the successful merger of the associate banks and value
unlocking from the insurance business could provide further upside for the bank. While the bank is favourably
placed in terms of liability base and the operating profit is better than peers, asset quality has emerged as a key
pain point, which will affect earnings growth. PSU bank recapitalisation plan by the government could benefit the
bank to make up for capital requirements to promote growth.
Union Bank of India  Union Bank of India has a strong branch network and an all-India presence. The bank aspires to become the
largest retail and MSME bank. Hence, it has ramped up its manpower and infrastructure to ramp up retail and SME
lending. The bank’s asset quality challenges have come to the fore (mainly from the corporate portfolio), whereas
low tier-1 CAR remains an area of concern.
Yes Bank  Yes Bank, a new generation private bank, started its operations in November 2004 and has emerged as one of
the top performing banks. The bank follows a unique business model based on knowledge banking, which offers
product depth and a sustainable competitive edge over established banking players. The bank is suitably poised
to ride the recovery in the economy and the retail deposit franchise is showing a sharp improvement, which will
support margins in the medium to long term.
Consumer goods
Britannia  Britannia is the second largest player in the Indian biscuit market with ~30% market share. Under a new leadership,
Britannia has been able to leverage and monetise its strong brand and premium positioning in the biscuits and
snacks segments. The company is well placed to sustain its higher-than-industry growth rate with an improving
distribution reach, deep penetration in rural India, enhanced international business, entry into newer categories
and focus on cost efficiency. Management is confident of double-digit growth at standalone level in the coming
quarters, driven by commissioning of new facilities and food park.
Emami  Emami is one of the largest players in the domestic FMCG market with a strong presence in underpenetrated
categories such as cooling oil, antiseptic cream, balm and men’s fairness cream. Kesh King is expected to post
recovery in sales growth as wholesale channels are back in trade (70% of brand sales happen through the wholesale
channel). Further, the company is banking on the healthcare segment to achieve strong growth on account of
expected recovery in Zandu Pancharishta (post the induction of Mr. Amitabh Bachchan as the brand ambassador)
and expects good acceptance towards the newly launched Zandu Diabrishta – 21 (nationally launched). We
expect domestic business volume growth to improve by 10-12% in the coming quarters. Management is confident
of the international business to achieve high-teen revenue growth on account of recovery in performance of
MENAP region and strong growth in SAARC region. The company has taken price hike of 3-4%, which will take
care of increased input prices. However, more focus is on cost efficiencies to maintain OPM at 28% in FY2019.

GSK Consumer  GSK Consumer Healthcare is a leading player in the malted food drinks (MFD) segment with ~70% share in the
domestic market. Though management is confident of 6-8% volume growth going ahead on account of improving
consumption in rural markets, enhanced distribution reach and good acceptance of premium launches under
the Horlicks brand and lack of clarity on the parent’s decision on the deal (to have a strategic review of nutrition
products, which is likely to unfold by the end of Q3FY2019) would act as key overhang on the stock. Thus, we
maintain our Hold recommendation on the stock.
GCPL  Godrej Consumer Products Limited (GCPL) is a major player in personal wash, hair colour and household insecticide
market segments in India. The recent acquisitions, i.e. Strength of Nature, Darling Group, Tura, Megasari and Latin
American companies, have helped the company expand its geographic footprint and improve growth prospects.
The demand environment is improving with urban and rural markets growing at 13% and 17%, respectively. We
expect revenue of the international business to grow in low double digits in the coming quarters. Management
expects margin expansion to sustain on account of several cost-saving initiatives and better revenue mix in the
coming quarters. Hence, for FY2019, earnings growth will be ahead of sales growth despite higher investments
behind brand and promotional activities. GCPL has declared bonus issue at the ratio of 1:2 (one share for every
two shares held of GCPL).
HUL  Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) is India’s largest FMCG company. HUL has begun FY2019 on a strong footing
by registering double-digit volume growth of 12%. We expect strong volume growth momentum to sustain in
the coming quarters because of improving rural demand, sustained new product launches and premiumisation
resulting in better revenue mix. Moreover, GST-led disruption would result in a low base in the coming quarters.
Rising crude prices and a depreciating rupee against dollar would slow margin expansion in the near term.
However, focus on premiumisation and cost rationalisation would continue to give strong support to profitability
in the near to medium term. Further, the company has started taking judicious price hikes in key categories
(including home care) in the backdrop of rising input prices. In view of strong growth prospects in the near term
and key beneficiary of better rural demand, we maintain our Buy recommendation on the stock.
ITC  ITC began the current fiscal on a good note with the cigarette business regaining its positive growth in volumes
and non-cigarette FMCG business maintaining double-digit growth momentum. With no increase in tax rate on
cigarettes in the recent past, we expect sales volume to improve further in the coming quarters. We have factored
in single-digit sales volume growth for FY2019 (in view of no significant price hikes in the near term). Further,
with demand for consumer goods improving in rural India, we expect non-cigarette FMCG business to maintain
double-digit revenue growth momentum in the coming quarters. With room demand likely to exceed room supply,
we expect the hotel business to deliver strong performance in FY2019. PPP business will continue to post better
profitability on account of better revenue mix and benign input cost. With performance of ITC expected to improve
in the coming quarters, we expect the valuation gap to reduce. We maintain our Buy recommendation on the
stock.
Jyothy Labs  Jyothy Laboratories Limited (JLL) is the market leader in the fabric whitener segment in India. Management is
expecting demand to pickup due to improvement in the consumption environment in rural India. The company
has maintained its focus on innovation and is enhancing its distribution. Overall, we expect 10-12% volume growth
in the near term and revenue to grow in mid-teens for FY2019. With crude prices moving up, the company has
started seeing a surge in input cost and is likely to go for price hikes (fabric care category) in the coming quarters.
Thus, OPM is expected to sustain at 15-16% in the near term.
Marico  Marico is among India’s leading FMCG companies. Core brands, Parachute and Saffola, have a strong footing in
the market. Management is confident of achieving steady 8-10% growth in volumes in the domestic business (on
a like-to-like basis). The male grooming and foods portfolios are expected to post strong growth in the coming
quarters. On the international front, Bangladesh will deliver good revenue growth as the macro environment
improves, while the MENA region will continue to grow in double digits. Falling copra prices augur well for Marico
in near to medium, as the company can focus on achieving steady sales volume growth in the coming quarters.
Thus, in view of a minimal downside risk and near-term growth prospects remaining intact, we maintain our Buy
recommendation on the stock.

Zydus Wellness  Zydus Wellness has a small product portfolio, consisting of just three brands (Nutralite, Sugar Free and Everyuth)
that cater to a niche category. Zydus Wellness has a strong portfolio of leading brands, which are largely placed
in low penetrated categories. Hence, most brands are likely to report double-digit revenue growth in a stable
market environment. Management of Zydus Wellness is confident of maintaining the strong growth momentum
with distribution enhancement and new product launches supported by adequate media activities. We expect
volume growth to sustain in low double digits (10-12%) in FY2019. OPM stood at ~25% in FY2018 and is expected
to improve gradually to 26% in FY2020. Thus, in view of better growth prospects and decent valuations, we have
upgraded the stock to Buy from Hold earlier.
IT/IT services
Firstsource  Firstsource Solutions Limited (FSL) is a specialised BPO service provider. Management has cut down its CC
revenue growth guidance to 7-9% from 9-10% earlier on account of headwinds in top clients (realignment activities
owing to regulatory concerns). FSL demonstrated strong performance on the margin front in Q1FY2019 despite
lower revenue from its top accounts. Management has maintained its margin guidance of 14% for FY2019 given
impressive margin performance of 13.9% in Q1FY2019. We expect earnings to accelerate in FY2019/FY2020E
with improved topline growth, productivity improvement and long-term debt-free status from Q2FY2018, with 17%
earnings CAGR over FY2018-FY2020E.
HCL Tech  HCL Technologies has a leadership position in infrastructure management services (IMS) and engineering and
research and development (ERD) space, which together account for ~60% of the company’s total revenue.
Management has maintained its CC revenue growth guidance (9.5-11.5% y-o-y) and EBIT margin guidance (19.5-
20.5%) for FY2019, in-line with our expectations. Management believes growth rate in H1FY2019 would be
better, led by ramp-up deals won in Q2FY2018/Q3FY2018 and shifting of customer spending for building digital
enterprise and modernisation of infrastructure. In our view, momentum in digital business along with investments
in IP products and anticipated recovery in IMS business would drive the overall organic growth rate in the coming
quarters. We remain Positive on the company in view of its recent order wins, accelerated pace of investments
in the products segment, traction for its next-gen infra offerings and earnings visibility with double-digit revenue
growth.
Infosys  Infosys is India’s premier IT and ITeS company that provides business consulting, technology, engineering and
outsourcing services. The company expects its pentagon agile digital service architecture would help to address
the client’s digital requirements. Further, management has set a three-year roadmap to achieve growth objectives.
Management has retained its positive outlook on BFSI, led by large deal wins (40% of $1.1 billion TCV from BFS)
during Q1FY2019. The financial vertical is expected to bounce back from Q2FY2019, led by recent deal wins,
healthy deal pipeline and increasing digital spending by insurance clients. Recovery in the financial segment
along with relatively reasonable valuation gives us comfort to remain Positive on Infosys.
Persistent  Persistent Systems has proven expertise, strong presence in newer technologies, strength to improve its IP
base and a decent margin profile, all of which set it apart from other mid-cap IT companies. PSL is focusing on
the development of Internet of Things (IoT) products and platforms, as it sees significant traction from industrial
machinery, SmartCity, healthcare and smart agriculture verticals. The company maintains its digital business growth
outlook for FY2019 despite drop in digital revenue in Q1FY2019. The company expects that its margin would
improve by 100 BPS y-o-y on constant-currency basis in FY2019, led by rupee tailwinds. Further, investments in
sales resources in Europe have started yielding results during Q1FY2019, with incremental revenue of $6 million
from re-seller business and expect the benefits from investments in the re-seller business to continue for the next
few quarters. We continue to see PSL as a good investment bet among mid-cap IT companies, as earnings are
expected to report an 18% CAGR over FY2018-FY2020E and the stock is trading at a discount to most mid-cap IT
companies.
TCS  Tata Consultancy Services is among the pioneers of the IT services outsourcing business in India and is the
largest IT services firm in the country. The company is on track to achieve its target of 10% y-o-y CC revenue
growth in FY2019, led by ramp-ups in large deals won in the recent couple of quarters and recovery in the
BFSI vertical. Management stated that the impact of insourcing has been stabilised. Strong deal wins during the

quarter provide good revenue visibility in the medium term. On the margins front, management has maintained
margin band of 26-28% for FY2019E, led by revenue recovery in BFSI and retail coupled with accelerated growth
in the digital segment.
Wipro  Wipro is among the top five IT companies in India. However, in the past few years, it has been lagging industry
growth. Q2FY2019 CC revenue growth guidance (adjusting for sale of data centre business) indicates the
receding impact of the bankruptcy of two customers that became hurdles for its revenue growth in the past couple
of quarters. However, softness in the healthcare, manufacturing and utilities vertical along with restructuring
activities in India business is expected to slow down overall revenue growth of Wipro in FY2019 compared to its
large peers despite strong performance in the BFSI and consumer segments. Further, management has given an
ambitious target of $15 billion revenue and 23% margin by 2020. We see the new CEO’s, Abid Ali Neemuchwala,
target as an uphill task, looking at the current growth trajectory. We remain skeptical, as anecdotal evidence on
Wipro over the past 2-3 years does not inspire confidence.
Capital goods/Power
CESC  CESC is the power distributor in Kolkata and Howrah (backed by 1,225 MW of power generation capacity),
which is a strong cash generating business. Further, 600 MW of regulated generation capacity (to serve Kolkata
distribution) has come on stream recently in Haldia. Moreover, its 600 MW thermal power project at Chandrapur
has signed a PPA and has started operating. Losses in the retail business are coming down gradually over
the past and it is expected to breakeven soon. The BPO subsidiary, Firstsource, is performing well in-line with
expectations. However, the recent diversification into unrelated businesses such as IPL franchisee would hurt
its valuations. CESC has announced the demerger of the business into four verticals namely power distribution,
power generation, retail and IT outsourcing. The restructuring looks beneficial for minority shareholders optically.
However, we await clarity on the financials of the demerged companies.
CG Power & Ind. Solutions  Key businesses of CG Power and Industrial Solutions - industrial and power systems - are going through a rough
patch and are potential beneficiaries of the upcoming investment cycle revival. Moreover, the company is looking
to unlock value by selling its international subsidiaries.
Finolex Cables  Finolex Cables, a leading manufacturer of power and communications cables, is set to benefit from an improving
demand environment in its core business of cables. The company is leveraging its brand strength to build a high-
margin consumer product business. The company has recently launched fans and switch gears. The company
is planning to launch water heaters soon. The addition of new products in its product portfolio could prove to be
the next growth driver. We anticipate healthy earnings growth, return ratios in high teens and superior cash flows,
which bode well for the stock. Therefore, we remain Positive on the stock.
Greaves Cotton  Greaves Cotton Limited (GCL) is a mid-sized and well-diversified engineering company. Core competencies of
the company are in diesel/petrol engines, power gensets, agro engines and pump sets (engine segment). Three-
wheeler (3W) engines that fetch about 40% of revenue for GCL are predominantly diesel and are facing severe
headwinds, which would restrict the growth. We expect 3W business of GCL to report flat revenue in FY2019.
Secondly, the aftermarket segment and agri equipment segment are expected to report a sharp improvement
in growth. Moreover, GCL has forayed into higher kilovolt ampere (KVA) gensets, which would boost revenue.
Overall, we expect the non-auto segment forming about half of GCL’s revenue to grow by 16% in FY2019. GCL is
ramping up its non-auto business to reduce dependence on the automotive business. We retain our Hold rating
on the stock.
Kalpataru  Kalpataru Power Transmission is a leading EPC player in the power transmission and distribution space in India.
Opportunities in this space are likely to grow significantly, thereby providing healthy growth visibility. OPM of the
standalone business is likely to remain around 10%, while OPM of JMC Projects (a subsidiary) is showing signs of
improvement. We see some value-unlocking potential from the sale of assets or listing of new business in future.
We remain Positive on the stock.
KEC  KEC International is a Global Power Transmission Infrastructure EPC major. The company is present n the verticals
of power T&D, cables, railways, water, renewable (solar energy) and civil. Globally, the company has powered

infrastructure development in more than 61 countries. KEC is a leader in power transmission EPC projects and has
more than seven decades of experience. Over the years, it has grown through the organic as well as inorganic
route. We retain our Positive outlook on the stock.
PTC India  PTC India is a leading power trading company in India with a market share of 35-40% in the short-term trading
market. Over the past few years, the company has made substantial investments in areas such as power generation
projects and power project financing, which will start contributing to its earnings. We retain our Positive stance on
expected healthy volume uptick, with an increasing share of long-term contract business.
Thermax  The energy and environment businesses of Thermax are direct beneficiaries of the continuous rise in India Inc’s
capex. Order book of Thermax Group stands around its consolidated revenue. However, the company has shown
an ability to maintain double-digit margins in a tough macroeconomic environment. We retain our Hold rating on
the stock due to its rich valuation.
Triveni Turbines  Triveni Turbines Limited (TTL) is a market leader in 0-30 MW steam turbine segment. TTL is at an inflexion point
with a strong ramp-up in the aftermarket segment and overseas business, while the domestic market is showing
distinct signs of a pickup. The company has also formed a JV with GE for steam turbines of 30-100 MW range,
which is likely to grow multi-fold in the next 4-5 years. TTL is virtually a debt-free company with a limited capex
requirement and an efficient working capital cycle, reflected in very healthy return ratios. Further, boosted by
the expected uptick in the domestic capex cycle, the company’s earnings are likely to report a 26% CAGR over
FY2018-FY2020E.
V-Guard  V-Guard Industries is an established brand in the electrical and household goods space, particularly in south India.
Over the years, it has successfully ramped up its operations and network to become a multi-product company.
The company has a strong presence in the southern region. The company is also aggressively expanding in
non-south markets and is particularly focusing on tier-II and III cities where there is lot of pent-up demand for its
products. We remain Positive on the stock.
Va Tech Wabag  VA Tech Wabag (VTW) is one of the world’s leading companies in the water treatment field with eight decades
of plant-building experience. Given the rising scarcity of fresh water, we expect flow of huge investments in the
water segment, both globally and domestically. With rising urbanisation and industrialisation in India, we expect
substantial investments in this space. Given the large opportunity ahead and inherent strengths of VTW, such as
professional management, niche technical expertise and global presence, we remain Positive on the stock.
Infrastructure/Real estate
Gayatri Projects  Gayatri Projects is a Hyderabad-based infrastructure company with a strong presence in irrigation, road and
industrial construction businesses. Order book of the company stands at Rs. ~12,900 crore, which is 4.2x TTM
revenue. Further, the company expects to sustain 30%+ topline growth over the next 3-4 years with OPM around
16%. The company has completed its power portfolio and plans to unlock value by listing on the Indian bourses.
The company has the potential to transform itself into a bigger entity.
IRB Infra  IRB Infrastructure Developers is the largest toll road BOT player in India and the second largest BOT operator in
the country with all its projects being toll based. The company has an integrated business model with an in-house
construction arm, which provides a competitive advantage in bidding for larger projects and captures the entire
value from BOT assets. Further, the company has a profitable portfolio as majority of its operational projects have
become debt-free and are present in high-growth corridors, providing it a healthy cash flow. Thus, the company is
well poised to benefit from the huge opportunity in road development projects on account of its proven execution
capabilities and scale of operations.
Jaiprakash Asso  Jaiprakash Associates has been facing earnings pressure across business verticals. The company has just
concluded its cement asset sale worth Rs. 16,000 crore and transferred 1,000 acres worth Rs. 13,000 crore to an
SPV, which will reduce its debt burden. Going ahead, the company will be focusing primarily on EPC business and
balance portfolio of business verticals and would aim to reduce its debt further. The current business restructuring
has led to a cautious view on the stock.

L&T  Larsen & Toubro (L&T), being the largest engineering and construction company in India, is a direct beneficiary of
the domestic infrastructure capex cycle. The company is expected to perform well, backed by its sound execution
track record and healthy order book. Monetisation of the non-core businesses will continue for some time, leaving
scope for further value unlocking. Measures planned by the company to improve its return ratios augur well.
Hence, we remain Positive on the stock.
NBCC  NBCC (India), a Navratna public sector enterprise, is notified as a Public Works Organisation (PWO), which gives
it a unique eligibility to bag orders on a nominated basis from government departments and PSUs. NBCC has
already amassed a huge order book, which gives it a strong revenue visibility for the next five years. Moreover,
future prospects look much brighter, given the opportunities from multiple areas such as redevelopment of old
government colonies in Delhi, Rajasthan and Odisha, development of government lands, Smart Cities, Housing
for All 2022 and Amrut. We remain Positive on the stock, considering the huge competitive advantage, a unique
business model, high return ratios and healthy cash flows.
Sadbhav Eng  SEL is engaged in 1) EPC business for transport, mining and irrigation sectors and 2) development of roads and
highways on BOT basis through SIPL. SEL has a healthy order book of Rs. 13,713 crore (3.8x its TTM revenue, with
presence in 11 states). The company has robust in-house integrated execution capabilities with qualified human
resource and owned equipment. We expect SEL to benefit from improved order execution, enhanced order
inflows (particularly from the transport segment) and resolution of working capital issues, resulting in a sturdier
balance sheet. Further, improving outlook for the Indian road sector and limited competitive intensity augur well
for SEL since it is present in both, asset creation and EPC verticals.
Oil & Gas

Oil India  Oil India has several hydrocarbon discoveries across reserves in Rajasthan and the northeastern region of India.
The company holds domestic 2P (proved and probable) reserves of 79 mmt for oil and 128 mmtoe for gas.
Reserve-replacement ratio of the company is also healthy. Rising oil price has increased concerns of subsidy
sharing although management does not except any subsidy burden at current oil price of $70-75/bbl. The stock
offers high dividend yield.
Petronet LNG  Petronet LNG is the largest LNG re-gasifier in India with 15 mmt LNG terminal at Dahej and 5 mmt LNG terminal at
Kochi. The company enjoys a competitive edge compared to other LNG import terminals given its low tariff and
long-term contracted volume with use or pay clause. We expect Dahej terminal to operate above 100% utilisation,
given its competitive edge and resolution of pipeline connectivity issues in southern India are expected to
improve utilisation for Kochi terminal. Petronet LNG would be the key beneficiary of rising share of LNG in India’s
overall gas consumption.
Reliance Industries  Reliance Industries has one of the largest and complex refining businesses in India and enjoys a substantially
higher refining margin over the benchmark Singapore Complex GRM. We expect GRM to remain healthy
and petrochem margin to be maintained in the medium term on an uptick in domestic demand. Capex in the
downstream business (incremental capacity in the petchem business and petcoke gasification in refining) would
be the key earnings driver in the coming years. Large investment in Reliance Jio could add value in the long term.
Selan Exploration  Selan Exploration Technology is an oil E&P company with five oil fields in the oil-rich Cambay basin of Gujarat.
Initiatives to monetise oil reserves in its Bakrol and Lohar oil fields will improve production. However, challenges
related to monetisation of its large hydrocarbon reserve base and near-term production ramp-up issues are likely
to be an overhang on the stock in the near to medium term.
Pharmaceuticals
Aurobindo Pharma  Aurobindo Pharma is set to post healthy growth on account of ramp-up in the U.S. and European markets, thanks
to a strong product pipeline built over a period and focus on niche segments such as injectibles, hormones,
penems and sterile products. The expected increase in the export-led business and a favourable tilt in revenue
mix are likely to boost margins, resulting in faster earnings growth as compared to revenue. The key injectable
units having received Establishment Inspection Report (EIR) from the USFDA and recent product approval from
these sites lift the overhang from the stock.

Cadila  Management has guided for product approvals of 20+ ANDAs and expects to launch ~50+ products in FY2019
(~35 products have already been approved). Management has guided that launches have commenced in
Q4FY2018 and full benefit of these launches and monetisation of new approvals will likely drive U.S. growth over
FY2019E-FY2020E. In addition, India business is likely to report double-digit growth, adjusting for GST issues.
Biosimilars, specialty products and vaccines are other growth drivers over the next 2-3 years.
Cipla  Management maintains guidance of double-digit growth in the U.S. and India business despite a challenging
environment on account of new product launches planned for FY2019E and FY2020E (one niche product every
quarter). Cipla has an exhaustive pipeline of inhalers and complex generics, which has a huge market size. These
opportunities will give an escalated growth trend to the revenue of the company and will boost the topline in the
long run. Cipla has also cleared all regulatory hurdles by receiving Establishment Inspection Report (EIR) for key
plants at Goa, Indore and InvaGen.
Divis Labs  Successful resolution of the import alert and warning letter in a short span of time and successful USFDA
inspection of unit-1 without any observations have ended woes for Divis, assuring regular supplies. Hence, we
expect the business to improve in FY2019. Moreover, two blocks at unit-1 will be commercialised in H1FY2019
and the new plant at Vizag is likely to be completed in FY2019. Thus, with no more costs related to remediation,
regular supplies and capacity expansion coming on stream, we expect the performance to improve significantly.
Glenmark Pharma  Management gave overall sales growth guidance of 10-15% for FY2019 with a caution, as there is significant
pricing pressure in the U.S. base business (increased to 12% from 10-12% earlier) due to consolidation of players
and increased competition, which will continue for the next four quarters. Excluding U.S., all other business
verticals are expected to witness robust growth led by ramp up in new approvals and launches. Although there
are some significant opportunities that fall in FY2019, we feel pricing pressure in the U.S. base business and
outcome of the USFDA issued Form 483 at Pithampur and Monroe facilities will remain as key overhangs in the
near term. Amidst continuing pricing challenges in the U.S., competition in key products and flat U.S. business
growth, we feel cash flows will remain under pressure and meaningful reduction in debt will be difficult due to
increasing R&D spend. Hence, timely monetisation of key products and a big licensing deal in R&D business will
be key positive triggers to watch for.
Lupin  Management has indicated that remediation at two plants under the Warning Letter will be completed in a few
months and, thereafter, USFDA shall be invited for re-inspection. Since there are two facilities under the Warning
Letter, there is a chance that both need resolution for the letter to be lifted. We feel Lupin could face few more
tough quarters as pricing pressure is likely to continue along with risk of competition in key products such as
Minastrin, fortamet and glumetza and delay in key product approvals (25-30% of products are filed from two
facilities under the warning letter). Hence, we expect U.S. business sales recovery to take time and operating
margins for FY2019 to remain at 19-21% depending upon product approval and launch timeline.
Sun Pharma  Management has given low double-digit growth guidance for consolidated sales for FY2019. Guidance includes
assumption that Halol will be resolved in FY2019 (the company will submit final response in Q2FY2019). Moreover,
three specialty product launches, namely Yonsa (in Q1FY2019), Ilumya (in Q2FY2019) and OTX-101 (precise timeline
not disclosed), are scheduled in FY2019. Specialty products are going to be one of the key growth drivers with
India, EM and ROW businesses being the other drivers. R&D spend will be 7-8% of sales for FY2019. With better
product mix and cost-control measures, we see margin expansion scope in the next two years.
Torrent Pharma  U.S. sales growth is likely to gain momentum in FY2019 with management planning to file 15-20 ANDAs during
the year and expecting 8-10 product approvals, which it hopes to launch on time. Management expects a couple
of limited competition launches, which could contribute meaningfully. U.S. sales growth will also be supported by
ramp-up of volumes from Dahej facility. EIR for Dahej facility has been received, thereby indicating no regulatory
hurdles for the near term. Management expects the integration of domestic business with its acquired Unichem
business to be complete by the end of FY2019Debt:Equity ratio is likely to improve from 1.5x in FY2018 to 0.5x
by FY2021E (increase in debt was due to Unichem acquisition, this debt will be amortised over seven years). We
expect RoE to improve from 16.2% in FY2018 to 22.2% by FY2021E.

Building materials
Grasim  Grasim is better placed compared to other large players in the cement space owing to its strong balance
sheet, comfortable debt/equity ratio, attractive valuation and diversified business. Grasim is on a strong growth
trajectory, with ongoing restructuring through trimming down its loss-making businesses (fertiliser and telecom)
and expanding its profit-making divisions (viscose, chemical and cement). Better earnings growth would also
significantly improve return ratios at a consolidated level and trigger rerating of the stock.
The Ramco Cements  The Ramco Cements, one of the most cost-efficient cement producers in India, will benefit from capacity addition
carried out ahead of its peers in the southern region. The company is mulling over the expansion of its satellite
grinding capacity from 4 mtpa to 7.1 mtpa at a cost of Rs. 1,095 crore. The expansion aims to strengthen reach
in Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal and North Eastern states. The company has reaped the benefits through cost-
saving measures, besides constantly reducing debt, which has led to improved profitability. In a nutshell, better
volumes, cost efficiencies and reducing leverage have yielded benefits.
Shree Cement  The expansion plan of Shree Cement to reach 40 mtpa by FY2019 (currently 37.5 mtpa) and increasing
geographical footprint in the eastern and southern regions is likely to aid better volume growth going ahead.
Pricing discipline in the cement business should help improve realisations over FY2019 to FY2020. However,
increased cost structure (power and freight cost) affecting operating margins remain key risk to net earnings in
the near term.
UltraTech Cement  UltraTech Cement is India’s largest cement company. The capacity is expected to reach 95.4 mtpa by the end of
FY2019. We expect UltraTech to report industry-leading volume growth on account of timely capacity expansion
(acquisition of Jaypee Group’s cement assets) and likely revival in demand (with the start of affordable housing
projects and enhanced spending on infrastructure development). We expect net earnings growth during FY2019-
FY2020 to be aided by higher volume growth and improving profitability of acquired assets.
Discretionary consumption
Arvind  Arvind is one of India’s leading vertically integrated textile companies with an experience of more than eight
decades in the industry. The company has switched itself into the branded retail space by enhancing its branded
portfolio. Arvind is a licensee for marketing various marquee global brands in India such as Arrow, US Polo,
Tommy Hilfiger, and Calvin Klein. The company also operates specialty retail stores under licensee brands
such as GAP, The Children’s Place, Aeropostale and Sephora. The company is also present in the retail space
through Unlimited and The Arvind stores. Management proposes to demerge its branded, retail and engineering
businesses as both these have matured enough to enhance their growth prospects in the coming years. Moreover,
listing these businesses as separate entities will help create value for the businesses, as separate leadership and
development of best strategies for the business will enhance focus.
Century Plyboards  Century Plyboards is a leading player in the organised plywood industry with a market share of 25%. Strong
growth in the sector, Century’s premium positioning and brand equity strength and benefits from GST would
enable it to report revenue CAGR of 15.2% over FY2018-FY2020E. Earnings are likely to report a 28.1% CAGR
over FY2018-FY2020E on account of revenue growth and better absorption of fixed costs. We believe structural
growth triggers for Century Plyboards are becoming visible due to: 1) GST implementation (expected to result
in a shift of market share to organised players from unorganised players, as they lose cost advantage); 2) the
government’s relentless focus on affordable housing; and 3) scaling up of its MDF unit.
Info Edge (India)  Info Edge is India’s premier online classified company in the recruitment, matrimony, real estate, education
and related service sectors. Naukri.com is a quality play and is directly related to GDP growth and internet/
mobile penetration. With mid-teen growth in billings of the recruitment business, management remains hopeful
that growth in the recruitment business may continue in the coming quarters. On the real-estate front, gradual
recovery in 99acres growth is expected on account of robust growth in 99acres billing in the last three quarters,
settling down of RERA impact, impressive billings growth in the broker segment and lower inventory in large
projects. Further, its investee companies, particularly Zomato and PolicyBazaar, have been progressing well in
their respective businesses. We continue to derive comfort on Info Edge’s business strength, with leading market
share in key businesses. We expect steady revenue momentum in the recruitment business and continued
growth momentum in revenue of 99acres in FY2019.

INOX Leisure  INOX Leisure Limited (ILL), India’s second largest multiplex operator with 128 properties and 512 screens across
64 cities (accounting for about 20% of the multiplex screens in India), is scripting a blockbustre growth story
through a mix of inorganic and organic expansion plans. The ILL mega show is supported by improving content
quality in the Indian mainstream and regional cinema, with its movies regularly hitting the Rs. 100 crore or Rs. 200
crore box-office collection mark. In regards to the allowing of outside F&B issue, management stated that the
company will take appropriate measures to counter any unfavourable event as neither any law has been passed
in the state assembly nor the High Court has given any direction in this regards. The company also stated that
in its overall F&B income, the proportion of MRP-based F&B is quite small and adheres to all laws pertaining to
selling of packaged food in its multiplexes. We continue to remain Positive on ILL from a long-term perspective,
given its pan-India growth plans, healthy balance sheet (lower financial leverage) and potential benefits from GST
rollout.
KKCL  Kewal Kiran Clothing Limited (KKCL) is a branded apparel play with four brands in its kitty. Killer, its flagship denim
brand, has created a niche in the minds of consumers. Q1FY2019 witnessed robust performance by the company.
However, this performance was on a softer base of Q1FY2018 (where the company had witnessed de-stocking
at distributors’ end prior to GST implementation). During Q1FY2019 as well, the company saw a dip in realisation,
which has been the trend since the past few quarters due to ongoing price discounts offered by online players and
value fashion offerings given by leading brick-and-mortar players. In the forthcoming quarters, we need to keep
a check on volume growth as the company has adopted a new strategy of concentrating on volumes by giving
some leeway to distributors in terms of payment. Management envisages maintaining its margins going ahead
on account of operating leverage. Though KKCL has a strong brand portfolio and is one of the well-managed
companies with stable working capital in comparison to peers in the branded retail space, the key trigger for the
company in the near term would be consistent volume growth. We maintain our Hold recommendation on the
stock.
Orbit Exports  Orbit Exports (Orbit) is a leading manufacturer and exporter of novelty fabrics, exporting its products to over
32 countries. The company is a recognised star export house and operates in the niche area of high-end fancy
fabrics, which are mainly used by designers in women’s fashion apparels. Management indicated that the Latin
American business has started recovering and good performance can be expected in the coming quarters. The
Middle East business is, however, expected to remain under pressure. The high-margin Ribbons & Made-ups
business is expected to grow in strong double digits. Overall, management is confident of growing in mid-to-high
teens in the short to medium term. Further, Orbit has one of the better balance sheets in the textiles industry. We
expect it to improve further in the coming years. However, in view of near-term concerns in export markets, we
maintain our Hold rating on the stock.
Relaxo Footwear  Relaxo Footwear (Relaxo) is present in the fast-growing footwear category, where it caters to customers with its
four top-of- the-mind recall brands, such as Hawaii, Sparx, Flite and Schoolmate. The company has emerged as
an attractive investment opportunity owing to its growing scale, strong brand positioning and healthy financial
performance. Relaxo has a superior portfolio of footwear brands and its relentless focus on driving sales through
the expansion of distribution and improving the brand presence augur well for the company to achieve good
growth in the backdrop of better demand environment. Post GST implementation, quality footwear players with
a strong brand have been able to outpace their unorganised counterparts by leveraging the scale advantage.
Under the GST regime, all footwear priced under Rs. 500 attracted 5% GST. However, with recent changes in
GST provisions, all footwear priced under Rs. 1,000 will also attract 5% GST. This would be beneficial for Relaxo
as most its sales are in this range.
Thomas Cook (I)  Thomas Cook India Limited (TCIL), owned by value investor Prem Watsa, is an integrated leisure travel and human
service management company in India. We believe travel and related business will grow in double digits with
gradual improvement in profitability in the near to medium term. Scale-up in the retail segment of the travel-
related financial services (TRFS) business will drive the overall performance of the business in the coming years.
TCIL has de-risked its business model for its vacation ownership (VO) business, with 45% of revenue coming
from selling rooms as hotel rooms. The focus is on scaling up room rental sales to mitigate the impact of slow
membership addition in the VO model. Changes in accounting standards will not have any impact on cash flows

of the VO business. The company has managed to reduce substantial debt on consolidated books through stake
sale in Quess Corp and has reduced pressure on the balance sheet. With expected improvement in the working
capital, we expect cash flows to further improve in the coming years. With strategies in place, we expect FY2020
to be operationally much better for TCIL. We maintain our Hold recommendation on the stock.
Wonderla Holidays  Wonderla Holidays Limited (WHL) is the largest amusement park company in India with over a decade of
successful and profitable operations. The company owns and operates two amusement parks under the brand
name Wonderla in Kochi and Bengaluru and came up with a third park in Hyderabad in Q1FY2017. The government
has reduced GST rate on amusement parks to 18% from 28% in February 2018. WHL has passed on the benefits
to customers in the form of cut in ticket prices. With stable ticket prices, FY2019 will be much better for WHL as
footfalls are expected to come back on track. We will keenly monitor the performance of the stock in the coming
quarters. Any significant uptick in footfalls in the coming quarters will act as a key re-rating trigger for the stock.
Hence, we maintain our Hold recommendation on the stock.
Zee Entertainment  Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited (ZEEL), part of the Essel Group, is one of India’s leading television media
and entertainment companies. The company has a bouquet of more than 40 channels across Hindi, regional,
sports and lifestyle genres. ZEEL continues to outperform the broadcasting advertising market and expects
to continue the momentum with an improvement in macro economy. As demonetisation and GST are behind
now, management expects ad revenue growth to remain at around mid-teens. We expect ZEEL to outperform
the industry in ad growth and 30%+ EBITDA margin despite investments in digital, movies and music. ZEEL
consistently focuses on its five key pillars to drive its growth. We believe successful execution of this strategy will
have a material impact on sustainable growth going forward. We continue to see ZEEL as the prime beneficiary
of macro revival and digitisation.
Diversified/Miscellaneous
Bajaj Holdings  Bajaj Holdings and Investment Limited (BHIL, erstwhile Bajaj Auto) was demerged in December 2007, whereby its
manufacturing business was transferred to the new Bajaj Auto Limited (BAL) and its strategic business consisting
of the wind farm and financial services businesses was vested with Bajaj FinServ (BFS). All the businesses and
properties, assets, investments and liabilities of erstwhile Bajaj Auto, other than the manufacturing and strategic
ones, now remain with BHIL. BHIL is a primary investment company focusing on new business opportunities.
Given the strategic nature of its investments (namely BAL and BFL), we have given a holding company discount
of 50% to its equity investments. Liquid investments have been valued at cost. The PT for BFS has been raised to
Rs. 7,834 from Rs. 6,725 earlier, given the strong performance in Q1FY2019. The PT of BAL has been slashed from
Rs. 3,526 to Rs. 2,905 post dismal Q1FY2019 results and pressure on profitability due to aggressive pursuance
of market share. Consequently, we arrive at a PT of Rs. 3,844 for BHIL. We maintain our Buy recommendation on
the stock.
BEL  Bharat Electronics Limited, a defence PSU, still remains our preferred pick in the domestic defence sector on
account of its strong manufacturing and R&D capabilities, good cost-control measures, growing indigenisation
and a strong balance sheet with improving return ratios. Further, the company is well positioned to capture
incremental spends by the government on defence through the Make-in-India initiative. With fresh order intake
of Rs. 3,583 crore and post execution during the quarter, outstanding order book stood at Rs. 41,645 crore
(export order book of $92.3 million). BEL stands to benefit as it is one of the key defence PSUs with a first-mover
advantage and is operating in a niche segment of the entire defence industry. We believe the recent correction
(26% in the past six months) of the stock offers an attractive opportunity to investors.
Bharti Airtel  Bharti Airtel (Bharti) is the leader in the Indian mobile telephony space. Management continues to focus sharply
on increasing retail ARPU, enhancing African operations, non-mobile services (enterprise services) and value-
added services (Airtel TV and music) to boost revenue and reduce churn rate. Industry consolidation (three-player
market, with the exit of smaller players) will help Airtel to maintain its leading position in revenue market share
with improving profitability. Going forward, from a long-term perspective, explosive growth in the data segment,
strong network, acquisitions (Tata Tele and Telenor) and reach will help Bharti emerge stronger. We have a Buy
rating on the stock.

GDL  With its dominant presence in container freight station (CFS), rail freight and cold chain businesses, Gateway
Distriparks Limited (GDL) has evolved as an integrated logistics player. The CFS business is a cash cow, while its
investments in the rail freight and cold storage businesses have started bearing fruits. The company is one of the
largest players in the CFS business and has evolved as the largest player in the rail freight business as well as the
cold storage business. The proposed capex for all the three segments will strengthen its presence in each of the
segments and increase its pan-India presence going forward.
PI Industries  PI Industries (PI), a leading agro chemical company, has a differentiated business model focusing on the fast-
growing custom synthesis and manufacturing (CSM) business. Management expects domestic revenue to grow
on account of expected normal monsoon coupled with various government initiatives and scaling up of newly
introduced products and further launch of new products (4-5) during the next 12-15 months. In the overseas
market also, management is anticipating pickup in volumes of existing molecules and intends to commercialise
4-5 new molecules, which will drive growth there. The company has increased its spend on R&D activities during
FY2018 (2x FY2017), thereby showing confidence in its molecules under the development stage. Dependence on
China for key raw materials has been on a declining trend, as sourcing from there and managing price volatility
remain key challenges. Management has provided revenue growth guidance of 16-18% and operating margin
of 20-21% for FY2019. Management also stated that de-bottlenecking of capacities will help in achieving better
volume growth. Management continues to maintain its CSM order book, as fresh orders are being added and
revenue booking is happening simultaneously. Improved global environment in agrichem is expected to provide
a boost to CSM execution, which will help in improving export revenue. We maintain our Hold rating on the stock
with a PT of Rs. 928, based on 22.5x its FY2020E earnings of Rs. 41.3/share.
Ratnamani Metals  Ratnamani Metals and Tubes Limited (RMTL) is the largest stainless steel tube and pipe manufacturer in India. We
remain positive on RMTL, led by its strong balance sheet, ability to generate superior return ratios and capacity
expansion programmes. Further, overall capex revival in its key industries such as oil and gas coupled with
improving orders from international markets will keep order momentum strong over the next 3-4 years. Given
healthy earnings CAGR of 28% over FY2018-FY2020E, we believe the stock remains a good bet for investment
in the long run. We maintain our Buy rating on the stock with a PT of Rs. 1,150.
Supreme Industries  Supreme Industries is a leading manufacturer of plastic products with a significant presence across the piping,
packaging, industrial and consumer segments. We continue to remain positive on SIL for a long-term perspective,
given the recovery in rural economy and housing sector. The company is also one of the prime beneficiaries
of the unorganised to organised shift in GST regime. Management has revised down overall volume growth
guidance for FY2019 to 10-12% y-o-y from 12-15% earlier, owing to soft demand for PVC pipes in Maharashtra and
lower margins from agri pipes. This revision in volume growth indicates that the company intends to maintain
profitability going ahead. We maintain our Buy rating on the stock and reduce the PT to Rs. 1,420, given higher
volatility in input costs.
UPL  UPL has delivered revenue growth of 11%, led by higher volumes (8% y-o-y) coupled with exchange gain of 3%
and improved blended realisation of 1% y-o-y during 1QFY2019. Latin America registered the highest revenue
growth of 17% y-o-y, whereas India contributed the highest revenue of 30% to overall revenue. Demand outlook
remains strong for India (widespread and timely rainfall in most parts) and LATAM (strong order book in Brazil and
several new registrations received from the other parts) for the near future. Net debt increased during Q1FY2019
due to higher inventory on account of good demand prospects, however the same is expected to normalise
during Q4FY2019. In addition, cash balance on books is expected to come to half post the acquisition of Arysta
in the next 12-15 months. Based on global demand outlook coupled with lower inventory in key geographies,
management is confident of achieving its earlier guidance of revenue growth of 10-12%, with EBITDA growth of
12-15% for FY2019. UPL is better placed to benefit from global recovery in the agri commodity space over the next
2-3 years. We expect the company to post a CAGR of 14% at the revenue level and 16% at EBITDA and PAT level
during FY2018-FY2020 (excluding the recently announced acquisition of Arysta, which is slated to be completed
during December 2018-January 2019). We maintain our Buy rating on the stock with a PT of Rs. 735.
