DIWALI PICKS – SAMVAT 2074

Samvat 2073 is ending with gains of about ~13.4% on the benchmarks. This year saw the markets
notching all-time highs, fuelled by sustained buying support from the domestic investors and robust
global market sentiment. The BSE mid-cap and small-cap indices have outperformed during this
period and have returned about 17% and 26%, respectively. Several stocks performed even better
than the mid and small cap indices. We had written in last year's Diwali Note - "All-in-all, we expect
returns in Samvat 2073 to be better than Samvat 2072, notwithstanding the intermittent bouts of
corrections / profit-booking" We are happy that, our optimism came true.
On the global front, the US economy expanded at a solid pace in Q2CY17 after a weak performance
in the prior quarter. Buoyant labour market conditions, upbeat consumer confidence, softer than
expected inflation and a robust housing market supported consumer spending. Industrial
production also showed an upswing. However, recent hurricanes could temporarily weigh on
economic activity. Although, recent tensions between North korea and the US threatened to disrupt
the market momentum, financial markets have remained largely resilient to such geo-political
events and more recently to the US Fed’s decision to reduce the size of its balance sheet. Equity
markets rallied in most advanced equity markets, while some correction has been witnessed in a
few emerging market economies.

On the domestic front, one concern which came early in Samvat 2073 was the election of Mr Trump
as the President of the US and announcement of Demonetisation, incidentally both these events
happened almost at the same time. Especially, the sudden implementation of demonetization saw
a sharp dip in sales of discretionary items like Auto, Consumer durables, Real Estate and Building
Products, Travel and Jewellery. While there were fears of an extended impact on the economic
growth, such fears were largely belied and even the markets bounced back from their lows. Market
sentiment was further buoyed by the strong election outcome in UP for the ruling NDA government.

Abolishing the earlier system of excise and sales tax, the government implemented the GST tax
from July 1, 2017. However, prior to the scheduled rollout, there was significant uncertainty among
wholesalers/retailers related to the availability of input tax credit (under GST) on existing inventory.
Most traders resorted to curtailing fresh purchases of finished goods. Some of the consumer
durables retailers also offered significant discounts with a view to destock the existing inventory.
The impact of this was reflected in the Q1FY18 earnings numbers. Profits of Nifty companies
declined 8.4% in Q1FY18. Some moderation in GDP growth was also observed in Q1FY18 which
was atleast partly attributed to rollout of GST.

The banking sector continues to face an environment of slow growth. Recent sectoral composition
of credit shows growth at less than 10% yoy with corporate loans flat yoy. Only retail continues to
drive growth. Our study of private capex does not suggest an improvement in corporate loan
growth as fresh capex is still elusive with the focus still on deleveraging the balance sheet at this
point in time. This implies weak revenue growth for the sector, especially public sector banks.

Crude prices have been pretty volatile with the oil producing countries trying to restrict supplies to
match the weakening demand. In the past four quarters, Brent crude has remained largely stable ~
$50-56 / barrel. One needs to watch this closely as it does have an impact on the fiscal position of
the Government and also on inflation.

Announcements of new industrial & infrastructural projects remained muted in the second quarter
of 2017-18. Only Rs 845 bn projects were proposed during the quarter. This is the lowest level of
“intentions to invest” seen in a quarter during the tenure of the current government. Private sector
investment proposals fell to their lowest level in 15 quarters during the quarter ended September
2017.

FII flows were largely negative FYTD, with August / July seeing outflows of USD 3.4 bn. On the
other hand, domestic institutions and MFs have invested USD.22.1 bn in equity markets on a FYTD
basis. Foreign flows have been a driving force for our markets over the years. But in 2017, domestic
institutions, especially the MFs have emerged as the major force in the equities market. And they
are adding depth to the market. It is clear that, savings are consistently moving to financial assets
v/s physical assets earlier.

All-in-all, we expect returns in Samvat 2074 to moderate in view of weak near term
earnings growth and higher than average valuations.
Going ahead, in Samvat 2074, we expect the Government to focus on effective measures to
accelerate economic growth. Post the implementation of the GST, there are signs that the business
is coming back on track. Signs of recovery are visible in Auto sales and exports in the economy.
Services sector activity in India expanded for the first time in three months in September, providing
another set of data that showed the economy was recovering from the disruptions due to the goods
and services tax. However, the pace of recovery is gradual. Given this backdrop, we maintain our
positive bias towards domestic infrastructure and cyclical sectors over the medium-to-long term.
We are also positive on the consumption theme. We recommend sticking to quality and advise
selectively investing in stocks having strong balance sheets and ethical managements. Select export-
oriented stocks will do well as US economy continues strengthening. Key risks are geo-political
concerns globally, decline in foreign inflows, sharp currency movements and spike in oil prices.

All-in-all, we expect returns in Samvat 2074 to moderate in view of weak near term earnings growth
and higher than average valuations. The upmove in Indian equities have been supported by strong
macro-economic factors (GDP growth, reducing Current account deficit and benign inflation etc).
However, there has be some deterioration on these counts in recent times. Inflation concerns have
resurfaced as reflected by the RBI guv’s take on monetary policy stance. Plus, earnings growth in
FY18 is likely to be subdued. In our view, further upsides from the current levels would be
contingent on revival of earnings growth and resolution of stressed banking assets. Having said
that, we believe, there would be continued investor interest in mid and small caps.

 The market for electric meters declined from Rs 28-32 bn in FY16 to Rs18-

that the volume of tendering has increased by 20%. 400
 India has 200 million legacy meters and there are plans to install up to 130
330
million smart meters by 2021. Immediate opportunity for smart meters can
come from the new power distribution franchisee licenses being allotted in 260
various cities (Bharatpur, Kota). GPIL plans to ramp-up its exports of meters
190
from the current level of ~ Rs 120 mn in FY17 to Rs 1250 mn by end of

 As of FY17, the company’s net debt to equity stands reduced to 0.15x as

127 155 22.2% 144 / 78 222230

Investment Argument 1 Year Performance

 New expansion plans in place: MRPL has set-up the next milestone and is
planning to enhance its refining capacity to 25 mmtpa as against current 350 MRPL Nifty
capacity of 15 mmtpa.
290

Additionally, the company is planning to scale up its petrochemical 230

capacity with an investment of Rs.110 bn, resulting in higher revenue and
margins. 170

We like the sharpened focus of the company on the growth strategy. The 110
expansion is seen as a major margin driver as it will help the company to
50
process cheaper, heavier crudes into high-value products like diesel,
liquefied petroleum gas and propylene.

 The possibility of MRPL being merged with HPCL cannot be rulled out. We
believe this will be signifacntly positive for MRPL. Source: Bloomberg

 We expect financial performance to improve further on account of strong

margins in the short term, improvement in operational performance in the Share Holding Pattern (%)
medium term and ongoing improvement in financial metrics.
DII Others
 Going ahead, we expect MRPL’s profitability to improve on account of i). 3.3% 6.4%

Improved product mix, ii). Better refining margins iii). Economies of scale, 1.7%
iv). Forward integration - Polypropylene plant and v). Various tax benefits.

Risks & Concerns

 Wide fluctuations in crude, forex and product prices can impact margins.
 If global supply exceeds demand then margins can be under pressure.

Background
MRPL (Mini-Ratna status) is a pure play crude oil refiner with strong promoter Promoter
