Company renders consultancy for complete or partial project planning and implementation e.g. Watershed or Wasteland and / or Crop Selection and Rotation.

About Company - It is the market leader in micro irrigation systems (MIS) in India with over 50 % market share. Having been present in this segment for more than 15 years, there is very strong association of the company with MIS in rural India. Its dealer and sales network is also significantly larger than any of its competitors. As a result, Jain Irrigation is expected to retain its market leadership in the future. MIS alone contributes to more than 50% of its revenues and 70% of EBITDA. Due to its large subsidy business, management of working capital cycle has been a key concern for Jain Irrigation and is a risk to its growth. However, the company has now started factoring its receivables, which should help keep working capital cycle in check. JISL is the biggest player and controls over 1/3rd of the market in drip irrigation, second is Netafim from Israel, Finolex Plasson, Premier Irrigation Adritec.

Future scope of business -  So far only about 4.5 mn hectares (ha) has been brought under MIS compared to government target of 18 mn ha by FY12 and addressable area of 70 mn ha. The government subsidies a minimum of 50% of cost of installation and budget allocation to MIS has been in increasing trends. In FY11, central budget allocation was more than doubled to Rs.1000 cr and recently it was accorded “National Mission” status, which assures funding under the government’s 5-year plan. Government funding for MIS is only likely to go up - MIS is a relatively low hanging fruit for the government in its effort to improve farmland productivity. The MIS market in India is at Rs. 2700 - Rs. 3000 cr, 3/4th of which is for drip irrigation which helps to save water & fertilizer. Agriculture consumes 80 % of water in the country & it makes sense to use drip & sprinkler irrigation systems. In February 9th M&M entered into micro irrigation sector by acquiring 38 % stake in 30 year old Nashik based company EPC for around Rs. 43 crore, M&M will give an open offer of additional 20 % stake in EPC on April 6th. 

Valuations and outlook

JISL has plans to raise Rs. 700 cr through QIP to repay its debt, to provide capital to its new NBFC and to support its future growth. Company believes that fund raising would happen in the next 3-4 months, depending upon the financial market conditions. I have not considered any equity dilution in my estimates. Company declared 1 bonus DVR SHARES (JISLDVREQ DVR shares ) on every 20  Equity Shares held. DVR with 10 % voting rights (click here for DVRs). I therefore recommend Buy and accumulate Jain Irrigation at every dip. My views are positive on the business of JISL and their future prospects on the back of untapped potential of MIS, agricultural business model and strong domestic presence. At present with the drip irrigation market is growing 40 % annually, stock is trading at 22.3x at FY12E EPS as against its historical one - year forward trading band of 10 x 32x. I recommend BUY on the stock with the target of Rs. 350.00

 LARSEN & TOUBRO – L&T is India’s largest conglomerate. One of the largest company diversified into Power, Nuclear, Hydrocarbons, Cements, Critical Engineering’s, Procurement, Construction (EPC) businesses. It also operates & handles roads, railways metros, bridges, ports, airports infrastructure projects. Company is also into power Transmission & Distribution (T&D) , equipment manufacturing (switch gears), Finance & IT software.

  

I initiate my coverage on L&T with Buy, on the back of its robust core businesses, infrastructure opportunities and potential for value unlocking in its subsidiaries. Core business would drive earnings, as it has robust order book and good revenue visibility. Subsidiaries in IT Services, Financials and Infra would be valuation triggers. The infra-led growth would also be backed by growing portfolio and geographical reach via JVs/acquisitions. Good revenue visibility. L&T is geared to meet growth guidance of 20% in sales in FY11, given its robust order book of Rs. 1.1trn (3.1x FY10 standalone sales; up 26% yoy), orders (Rs. 494bn; up 8% yoy in 9MFY11), and pick up in execution. JVs/acquisitions to expand portfolio and market reach. Increased presence in key infra segments (thermal, nuclear power, oil & gas, ports), power equipment manufacturing and geographies would complement core competency in EPC. Value unlocking in subsidiaries. Revival in IT business and high growth in financial services and infra development would be

catalysts for valuations upside. L&T’s financial services arm is likely to get listed by FY12, followed by other subsidiaries.

Valuation -  

My long term target price is Rs. 2,040 –core business at Rs. 1,564 based on 22x FY12e EPS; subsidiaries and other businesses at Rs. 476. The only key risks are lagging in execution of orders and slow revival in industrial Capex and exports.

Punj Lloyd Ltd – The company was founded in 1988, headquartered in New Delhi, India. The company is engaged in providing integrated design, engineering procurement, construction and project management services for energy and infrastructure sector, operates in four segments: Energy, Civil and Infrastructure, Power and Renewable. Its Energy segment comprises process plants, pipeline and tankage. Its Power segment provides Thermal power plants in India, up to 660 megawatt. Civil and Infrastructure business is carried on in India and Middle East & North Africa (MENA) through Punj Lloyd Ltd., whereas Sembawang Engineers and Constructors Pte Ltd. and its subsidiary has its operations spread across the Middle East, Africa, the Caspian, Asia Pacific and South Asia. Punj Lloyd provides engineering procurement construction (EPC) services in Oil & Gas, Process, Civil Infrastructure, and Thermal Power.

Whats the News?

Punj Lloyd has bagged three orders (two international and one domestic) aggregating to Rs. 645cr. The first order is worth Rs. 323 Cr from petroleum company Occidental Mukhaizna, Oman involves EPC of a new water treatment plant. The second order for Rs. 271cr is from an Indonesian oil company Pertamina for the construction of three well head platforms and lying of offshore gas pipeline. The third contract from GAIL worth Rs. 51cr is for laying a 112km long pipeline. This is positive for the company as the order inflow for 2QFY2011 was disappointing at Rs. 1,030cr and this order further enhances the revenue visibility, taking the outstanding order book to Rs. 29,171cr (3.2x FY2011E revenue).

The stock is down (50%) over the last 12 months, which I believe has brought it to a superb valuations giving the company’s scale of operations and the opportunities that lie ahead. Against this backdrop, it is expected that the stock will outperform over the medium to long term. Hence, maintain a Buy on the stock with a Target Price of Rs. 117- Rs. 120.

The execution of the Libyan orders was delayed significantly and this has hit the earnings in the last few quarters, as the Libyan orders form 38% of the company’s order book. Work on some of these projects began during Q1FY2011 and in Q2FY2011 the company started booking some revenue related to these projects. The management expects revenue booking to gain momentum in another 6 to 9 months. It is believed that the revenue booking from the Libyan projects during the quarter is a positive sign and provides visibility of a healthy growth in the revenue from the Libyan orders after 2 to 3 quarters as these form 38% of the total order book of the company.

Valuations and outlook - 

At the current market price of Rs. 91.80, the stock is trading at 8.9x FY2012E earning per share (EPS). PLL is present in some of the high-growth sectors (infrastructure, petrochemicals etc), which are expected to receive heavy investment in the coming years. Further, the revenue visibility from the Libyan orders is a good sign and will bring cash for the company. However, the order execution for the company has been slow in recent quarters, which is a cause for concern. Though the losses on account of the Ensus project are over, there might be more cost overruns/liquidated damages in the company’s other projects. Further, the order intake has not been very robust and this could affect the revenue growth. Stock could be bought with the price target of Rs117 (11.45x FY2012 estimates), factoring in the delay in the execution of the Libyan orders. The key risks to this call are further slowdown in order execution and cost overruns/liquidated damages in the company’s projects. In Q2FY2011 PLL secured orders to the tune of Rs1,164 Cr, which takes its order book to Rs. 25,470 crore—2.5x FY2010 revenues. 

You are getting junior L&T at discount to its Book Value of Rs. 107 and at 12x its earnings; fundamentals are strong; 100 % appreciation at least by 2012.

START playing with stock, Buy at Rs. 90.91 sell off at Rs.100 -107, again buy at sub 100 levels. KEEP A STOP LOSS OF 8% STRICTLY, when ever you buy any stock....
