Accumulate Ge Shipping Company For Target Rs.286

Accumulate Ge Shipping Company For Target Rs.286 - Kotak Securities

Earnings buoyed by offshore market and prudent sale of assets
GESCO has reported net profit of Rs 972 mn (+239% YoY) slightly below our expectation of Rs 1.02 bn. On the back of increased demand of crude and petroleum products, freight rates for crude tankers and product carriers remained firm throughout the quarter. This was also supported by slow steaming of vessels and increase in long haul shipments. But steady fleet growth capped any significant spurt in the freight rates. Chinese New Year holidays, weather related issues in key exporting ports of Brazil & Australia and increase in new building deliveries kept the bulk market weak. The offshore segment was strong in the quarter with crude prices firming in the quarter. The share of Greatship India Limited (GIL), the offshore subsidiary has increased to ~45% in the total revenues (from 35% QoQ). The company continues to be net seller of the ships in the market and currently has a small fleet of 33 vessels or 2.60 mn dwt. Consequently consolidated revenues have remained flat YoY amidst decreasing fleet size, stable tanker market and weak bulk segment. Profit was aided by profit on sale of ships of Rs 652 mn and reversing of Rs 294 mn from finance cost. Earnings for shipping companies' continue to be very volatile. We expect the cyclical weakness in the shipping market to continue for another two quarters. We expect the shipping segment of GESCO to report flattish/declining numbers YoY amidst declining fleet of the company as the company continues to discard old ships. However we expect the offshore subsidiary, GIL in which the parent is incurring heavy capex to show healthy growth of 20% CAGR over the next 2 years in revenues and profitability. Overall we expect the company to report 6% CAGR in revenues and 12% CAGR in profitability over FY12 to FY14E with subdued return ratios. We value the consolidated entity at 35% discount to NAV of Rs 440/ per share, which comes to around Rs 286 with an ACCMULATE rating. We estimate the asset prices to remain stable in near term for shipping companies. Downside risk could be: 1) Fall in crude prices, 2) Deterioration of global trade.
Valuation and recommendation:
We like GESCO's strategy of discarding old and single hull vessels judiciously which enabled it to realize substantially greater asset price, which multiplied its profit generating potential over years. The balance sheet position of the company is also very healthy with current net debt to equity at a comfortable 1.0 x. With oil price above $100 per barrel, the offshore segment (GIL) is expected to add significant value to the consolidated entity. Company is making significant capex of $210mn for GIL in FY13E.
Historically GESCO has traded at a discount of 30% to its Net Asset Value or Asset Replacement Cost. Using NAV (35% discount - assigning higher discount), we value the consolidated entity at 35% discount to NAV of Rs 440/ per share, which comes to around Rs 286 per share. We re-iterate Accumulate rating on GESCO with a price target of Rs 286. We estimate the asset prices to remain stable in near term for
shipping companies. Downside risk could be: 1) Fall in crude prices, 2) Deterioration of global trade

Buy Hexaware For Target Rs.120 - Motilal Oswal

Hexaware's 4QCY12 results were in line with our estimates. Revenues were USD92m (v/s est of USD92.4m), down 0.4% QoQ due to a project cancellation in top client. EBIT margin declined 480bp QoQ to 15.1% (v/s est of 430bp QoQ decline). PAT was at INR637m, adjusting for the tax write-back (in-line).
* For CY13, company guided for "double digit" USD revenue growth. This still implies a 4% CQGR over 2Q-4Q, considering 1Q revenues at the midpoint of USD94-95m guided band (1.7-2.8% QoQ). On the back of cost levers, it guided for 150-200bp QoQ recovery in margins in 1QCY13.
* HEXW cited recovery in a top account despite a blip in 4Q (down 21.3% QoQ to USD10.8m). The account is expected to grow YoY in CY13 and top 10 clients should continue to contribute over half of the revenues. Oracle is expected to release its new version of Peoplesoft in CY13. However, revenues from upgrades are anticipated to accrue to HEXW largely from CY14.
* We have lowered CY13E EBITDA margin estimate by 140bp to 18.3% as the margin slide in 4Q is expected to be recovered only gradually. Lower margin estimate in CY13E drives 9.7% cut in EPS estimate for CY13E. We model conservatively and estimate CY13E USD revenue growth of 8.5%.
Valuation and view: We expect HEXW to post USD revenues at a CAGR of 10% over CY12-14E and EPS CAGR of 7%. Lower CAGR is on account of 120bp decline in EBITDA margin estimate in CY14E (19.7%) over CY12. Guidance of 4%+ revenue growth over 2Q-4Q, growth in top account and likely revenue uptick from Peoplesoft are positive cues on growth. However, failure to close large deals and high client concentration are key risks. With utilization at significantly low levels, we expect HEXW to be able to drive better margins, going forward. From valuation perspective, the healthy cash pile, board's decision to stick to ~50% payout policy and 25%+ return ratios are positives. Our target price of INR120 discounts CY14E EPS by 10x. Buy.

One of the big investment shifts of our day may be at

hand — regardless of how global markets actually perform this year.

What's already known as the "The Great Rotation" — a tilting of pension and insurance funds' strategic, long-term asset preference back toward equity from extreme positioning in bonds — has been one of themes of the new year so far.

The gist of the argument is that investor holdings of now expensive, ultra-low yielding government debt — following a virtually unbroken 20-year bull market in bonds — are ripe for rebalancing. The attraction of relative and absolute valuations in equity will coax the outflow to stocks

It's this juncture that has some of the most persistent global equity bears of the past two decades, such as Societe Generale strategist Albert Edwards, rethinking the big picture.

While there's little thaw evident in his view of an investment "Ice Age" over the next couple of years, Edwards now reckons that over 10 years long-term institutional funds are in danger of missing "the cheapest equity prices in a generation."

From such a committed bear, that's really saying something.

And there are no shortage of shorter-term players hoping to catch the slipstream whenever it comes. Some feel there's no time like the present.

With the whiff of global economic recovery in the air as major central banks floor cash rates, buy bonds and neutralize systemic stability fears, mutual fund and retail investment flows are already on the move in 2013.

According to Lipper, net flows to U.S.-based equity funds in the first two weeks of 2013 was, at $11.3 billion, the biggest fortnightly inflow since April 2000 — including exchange-traded funds (ETFs), the number tops $18 billion — well over twice the flow to equivalent bond funds.

What's more, fund-tracker EPFR said some $7 billion of inflows to emerging market equities alone in the first week of the year were the biggest on record and these have outstripped demand for emerging bond funds five weeks running.
