CONTAINER CORPORATION OF INDIA LTD: The Company was incorporated in 1988 and is based in New Delhi, India. Container Corporation of India Limited operates in the Railroads, line-haul operating sector. It provides Multi-modal logistics support services for export and import, and domestic trade and commerce in India. It primarily engages in carrier business, as well as provides freight transportation services by rail and road and providing inland transport by rail for containers, ports, air cargo complexes and cold chains. The company’s business includes three distinct activities, that of a Carrier, and container terminal operator and warehouse operator - which provides various facilities, including warehousing, container parking, repair facilities, and office complexes. In addition, it operates in two divisions – EXIM & Domestic, both the divisions provides services including transit warehousing for import and export cargo; bonded warehousing, enabling importers to store cargo and take partial deliveries; less than container load (LCL) consolidation, and reworking of LCL cargo at nominated hubs; and air cargo clearance using bonded trucking. All the activities of the company revolve around this business and all its operation are in India. As of March 31, 2011, the company operated a fleet of approximately 15,579 containers, 55 reach stackers, 14 gantry cranes, and 61 container terminals of which 18 are export-import container deports and 13 domestic container depots, as well as 10,666 wagons. CONTAINER CORPORATION OF INDIA LTD is compared to Gati Ltd and Allcargo Logistics Limited nationally and with CJ Korea Express Corporation globally.

Investment Rationale:

CONCOR enjoys a nearly monopolistic situation in the transportation of Containerised cargo through the Indian railways. Container Corporation of India (Concor) is a mini-Ratna Central PSU. The company has unveiled its big plans for Odisha. The logistics solutions provider is keen on setting up multi-modal logistics parks in nine key industrial hubs of the state. The new logistics parks are all set to come up at Jharsuguda, Angul, Paradeep, Dhamara, Kalinganagar, Gopalpur, Rayagada, Balasore and Rourkela. Each of these logistics parks would need 30 acres of land and the investment would be in the range of Rs. 50 – Rs. 100 crore. Each park would generate indirect employment for around 3,000 people. The logistics parks will include facilities like warehouse, distribution centers, storage areas, offices, truck services, parking lots, truck terminal, container rail terminal, container handling facilities, cold storages, air cargo points. The establishment of logistics parks would give a big boost to the state's industrial competitiveness. In addition to this such parks would be equipped with weighbridges, telecommunication facilities, banks, health awareness units and recreation centers. The logistics parks to be developed on the public private partnership (PPP) mode, would be served by roads, railways, inland water ways and air ways. Besides logistics parks, Concor is also planning to set up its cold chain infrastructure in the state. Initially, the company wants to set up three such cold chain facilities in the state for storage of green vegetables and other perishable food products. It is also keen on having a dedicated cold storage unit at Bolangir in western Odisha. Besides this the National Horticulture Board along with the Container Corporation of India has flagged off an ‘onion’ freighter from Nashik to Kolkata. About 1,400 tonnes were shipped in 90 special containers, which have been designed to keep the agriculture produce dry and well ventilated. Traders are increasingly attracted to this mode of transport as their produce incurs minimal damage and saves time. Using the railway network, the onions can reach the hinterland faster. Since August last year, the NHB, along with Container Corporation of India (Concor) had been carrying out similar test runs for farm produce such as bananas and potatoes.

Outlook and Valuation:

The company had taken a tariff hike of about 5 % on the key JNPTNVR route to cover increasing operating cost with effect from 15 Nov 2011. This hike in realisation was an offset to some extent by falling lead distance with some originating volumes shifting from JNPT to Pipavav and Mundra for the company. The realization have also increased in the domestic segment, as it has passed a significant portion (not entirely) of the rail haulage hike by Indian Railways (IR) to the customers. Concor today has a cash balance of over Rs. 2,700 Cr on its balance sheet which would yield the company around 9 % to 10 % per annum (versus 7.5 % yield YoY). Company's Q1 net profit was at Rs. 245 Cr v/s Rs. 234 Cr YoY and the income from operations was Rs. 1037 Cr v/s Rs. 949 Cr YoY. Concor faces intense competition from private operators like In logistics Solutions, Boxtrans Logistics, Gateway Distriparks and Arshiya International as private container rail business is growing gradually which forces these players to have tie-ups with Concor for shipping lines cargo to drive their Exim volumes. Most private players have also accelerated their expansions and rolling stock addition programme to get a share in the Exim business. For instance, GDL which currently operates 21 rakes would be adding further 6 rakes in the next two years. Also their Faridabad ICD has become partly operational in Q3FY12.While Concor is going slow with their capacity expansion programme. It is expected that the Operational performance & cash flow generation will continue to be healthy even though operational performance of Concor is not at historical high (ROE has fallen from 25 % in FY07 to around 16 % in FY12), still it has one of the highest operating margins of 25 % (Vs. 17 % of GDL). The key reason for fall in ROE for the company is the fall in asset turnover - the asset turnover for Concor has fallen from 0.97 in FY08 to 0.70 in FY12. Similarly asset turnover has impacted the ROCE of the company. This is primarily due to competition where the asset + additional capex are not translating into revenue and profitability as it did historically for Concor. Another comforting factor is the Healthy balance sheet of CONCOR. Concor is of a zero debt company, with substantial cash balance and no funding issues. It is expected that Concor will spend around Rs. 1,652 Cr in FY13E towards capex from which Rs. 760 Cr would be for land acquisition. The cash balance of Rs. 2800 Cr and operating cash flow of about Rs. 1130 Cr in FY13E would very comfortably supports its capex issues. The company doesn't have to take high cost debt in these uncertain times. Concor management has guided for a revenue growth of 7.5 % in FY13E with sustained margins. Company can deliver 4 % volume growth on both Domestic and Exim for FY13E with sustaining operating margins at 25 %. The company added 5 rakes in Q1FY13, taking the total count of new rakes to 218, the company plans to add 30 more rakes in FY13. EXIM volumes this quarter stood at 5,32,539 TEU's (Twenty feet equivalent unit which is the standard size of container) which was higher by 6.2% YoY and lower by 0.6% QoQ. Domestic volumes during this quarter stood at 96,346 TEU which was lowered by 13% YoY & higher by 22.9% QoQ. The Exim realisation per TEU grew by 4.90% YoY & 2.4% QoQ to Rs.16,118/TEU, domestic realisation per TEU grew by 15.4% YoY & 1.7% QoQ to Rs.18,450/TEU. At the current market price of Rs. 959.40, the stock is trading at 13.05 x FY13E and 12.25 x FY14E. Earnings per share (EPS) of the company for FY13E could be seen at Rs. 73.50 and Rs. 78.30 for FY14E . It is expected that the company will keep its growth story intact in the coming quarters also with rationalization of haulage charges by IR or Pickup in containerized trade both in EXIM and domestic segment. One could BUY CONTAINER CORPORATION OF INDIA LTD with a target price of Rs. 1020.00

ZEE ENTERTAINMENT ENTERPRISES LTD: Zee Entertainment Ltd was founded in the year 1982, based in Mumbai. Company was formerly known as Zee Telefilms Limited and changed its name to Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited in January 2007. ZEEL, together with its subsidiaries, operates as a vertically integrated media and entertainment company in India. It operates in three segments: Broadcasting and Content, Education, and Film Production. The Broadcasting and Content segment develops, produces, and procures television programming and film content, and delivers through satellites, cable, and Internet. It broadcasts channels, such as Hindi general entertainment channels and regional language general entertainment channels, Bollywood channels, sports channels, English entertainment channels, alternate lifestyle channels. Company earns revenues by the way of advertisement and subscription revenues and syndication. The Education segment engages in distribution of software learning products; and provides education and training in information technology. The Film Production segment produces and distributes films. The company has a library housing approximately 1,00,000 hours from 80,000 hours of television content; and rights to approximately 3,000 movie titles. Effective March 29, 2010, Zee News Ltd. demerged its Regional General Entertainment Channel Business Undertaking and transferred its operation to Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited It has operations in India, the United States, Canada, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. ZEEL can be compared with Sun Tv Network Ltd, Network 18 Media & Investment Ltd and Television Broadcasts Limited.

Investment Rationale:

The management has not provided any guidance for growth in advertising revenues for the coming year, on account of poor industry environment. On subscription revenues, the company has guided for a low double digit growth on account of further gains from Mediapro. Content expenses of the company are likely to rise in the coming quarters, on higher costs of content and higher selling and distribution expenses on new channels and its marketing spending. The company had earlier guided for a loss of Rs. 65 Cr – Rs. 75 Cr in sports, and further investments of Rs. 50 Cr to Rs. 100 Cr on investments in new channels/ content. Zee Entertainment shall see a fairly strong growth in advertising revenues against the industry if the current trends in ratings are to be sustained. The company has launched new programs  in new formats, and so the company shall outperform media peers in advertising revenue growth in the coming year. ZEE’s JV named Mediapro has clearly created benefits for Zee Entertainment in excess of market expectation. And so the growth of 13 % in the domestic subscription revenues in FY13 along with the 10 % growth in expenses is factored in. And so, the result of these changes can been seen on PAT estimate & is believed that the company's improving competitive position, especially in the Hindi GEC space will have significant positive effect. The strong performance of Zee TV implies that Zee Entertainment revenues could move counter to the industry in the coming year, which is a significant positive.

Outlook and Valuation:

ZEE has launched a couple of new initiatives that include Ditto TV – it’s over the top platform, and channels Ten HD and Ten Golf. Till yet, the company's media initiatives have largely been in niches rather than mainline channels. The company has noted that the advertising revenues for the quarter were weaker in last year largely due to sports properties. The subscription revenues have shown a strong growth. On the above it is noted that the subscription revenues have been impacted positively by changing accounting methods for Mediapro which was from equity accounting to proportionate consolidation which added about Rs. 50.60 Crs to domestic subscription revenues for 9 months of this year, secondly, the same affected cost items- resulting in significant margin compression for the quarter, and lastly, the changes in treatment of forex items leaded to strong growth in items below EBITDA line, affecting PAT positively (relative to EBITDA). ZEE is investing in international businesses, which could accelerate overseas revenues over the long term. Even though the loss in sports division has often been considered a bane for ZEE, sports channels and HD will aid ARPU growth for ZEE over the longer term.  There is a huge under‐declared subscriber base of about 7.5 Cr (likely to come under its ambit post digitisation and MediaPro (a Joint Venture with Star) which will entail humungous potential for ZEE. Zee TV’s viewership rating is near its one‐year high, which makes ZEE well positioned for the fresh ad deals - ZEE TV has crossed the 250 Gross Rating Points (100 GRP means either that 100 % of targeted households are reached once per week or 1 % of them are reached 100 times in the week or any combination thereof, also called homes per rating points) mark after more than 1.5 years to strengthen its place as the No.2 behind Star Plus. This development has mainly come from a good performance of fiction shows. The full- year results are a better indicator of the performance of the company and so the company could show best performance at the PAT level as well as at the top-line. The subscription revenue growth & ad revenue growth which amounts to 20%-25% to its total revenues could be a key positive surprise on full year basis, and key negative for the year could be decline in selling, growth in other expenses. The Sports business losses has always been a headache for the company due to higher expenses on account of rupee depreciation, and partly on account of launches of new channels -Ten Golf and Ten HD. On the results, management has indicated that the company has, ex-sports, seen a positive growth in advertising revenues. ZEE reported 20.6 % rise in net profit for the quarter ended June 30,2012 at Rs. 157 Cr on back of strong advertising and subscription revenues. Advertising revenues for April - June rose 18 % to Rs. 447.2 Cr, while subscription revenue were at Rs. 364.2 Cr (Rs. 250.5 Cr from domestic & Rs. 113.7 Cr internationally) were up 19 % year on year. The company's consolidated operating revenue for June 2012 quarter also witnessed a 21 % increased at Rs. 843 Cr YoY while consolidated operating profit grew 50 % to Rs. 233.2 Cr. EBITDA & Net Profit margin stood at 27.7 % and 18.6 % respectively. During this quarter, ZEE TV averaged 215 GRPs recording a relatively share of 21.2 % among the top five hindi General Entertainment Channels & now No.2 GEC in terms of rating, also its market share in the prime time band improved significantly wherein ZEE TV averaged 122 GRPs recording a relative share of 23.1 %. At the current market price of Rs. 149.80, the stock is trading at 21.09 x FY13E and 14.98 x FY14E respectively. Earnings per share (EPS) of the company for FY13E and FY14E are seen at Rs. 7.10 and Rs. 10.00 respectively. With sturdy free cash flow generation of about Rs.1,000 Cr with minimal debt, it is expected that the company will keep its secular growth story intact with stable dividend policy will make ZEE the best stock to own in defensive space. One could BUY ZEE ENTERTAINMENT ENTERPRISES LTD with a target price of Rs. 200 for Medium to Long term investment and for the SHORT TERM PLAYERS it should be Rs. 160.00

Total Debt: Rs. 111.38 Cr; Enterprise Value: Rs. 529.06 Cr.

TALWALKARS BETTER VALUE FITNESS LTD: The Company was founded in 1932 and is based in Mumbai, India.  Talwalkars Better Value Fitness Limited (TBVF) was formerly known as Talwalkars Better Value Fitness Private Limited. The company operates a fitness chain in India. The company offers a suite of services, including gyms, spas, aerobics, nutrition counseling, physiotherapy guidance, yoga classes and health counseling under the ‘Talwalkars’ brand.  The Company has an 8,000 square feet residential training academy at Thane. The training academy offers about 4 to 6 weeks of training program for its staff joining at the new centers.  As of May o4 2012, it had 102 health clubs and 62 cities and had more than 75,000 members. Its health clubs/training centers are located in Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. In April 2012, through its subsidiary Talwalkars opened a health club in the of Gandhinagar.

Investment Rationale:

The management stated that they have put hold on the plans to roll out clubs which was a different format compared to gym which required much larger investments and a longer gestation periods which would have had a dilutive effect on return ratios (RoE, RoCE) in the near term so the plans has been put on a hold. It would continue to focus on gym expansion where it remains bullish on the opportunity in the market given the low penetration rates for organized players. 

TBVF has rolled out 19 gyms in 9M FY12 and it is slated to launch another 16 gyms in Q4, a traditionally strong quarter for the fitness business. This would take its total gym base to 126 of which about 90 would be owned and rest would be through a combination of subsidiaries, franchisees/JVs and HiFi gyms. Company plans to add 8 HiFi gyms in the current year through franchisee route which would not entail any capex for the company. In order to accelerate roll out in Tier II & Tier III cities, Talwalkars has conceptualized gyms under the ‘HiFi’ brands. These would be rolled out in areas with population of 3,00,000 – 5,00,000 which otherwise may not have supported a fully fledged Talwalkars gym. For instance, company has targeted HiFi gyms roll out in cities like Porbander, Faridabad and Solapur. These are typically ‘no frills’ gyms with area of 2,500 - 2,800 sq ft & about half of that is for a regular gym. HiFi gyms capex requirement is about half of a full service gym and their membership rates are also 60 % more of those of regular gyms. The company would roll out HiFi gyms through the franchisee route thereby eliminating funding needs for the roll out. In return for gym management, TBVF will earn royalty income at the rate of 6 % of revenues for first three years and 8 % thereafter. Talwalkars would also receive a one-time royalty income and equipment supply charge to the tune of Rs.10,00,000 each. HiFi gyms offers faster roll out since each roll out usually takes 8-10 weeks as compared to 14-16 weeks for typical Talwalkars gym and so HiFi gyms is the better road for Talwalkars to go ahead.

Outlook and Valuation:

Gym is a highly localized business in the sense it needs to be easily accessible to local population at an affordable price (at least from a mass market perspective). Talwalkars has managed to break away from its peers and now leads the scale with 109 gyms on consolidated basis. There is a vast opportunity exists for further scale building considering the fragmented nature of industry. For instance, market share of the top 5 players by number of clubs is just 16 % as compared to global top 5 average which is about 40 %. Talwalkars has a decent spread-out across the North, West and South regions which together accounts for 94 % of the total gyms. It is also targeting different price segments with roll out of both Regular as well as ‘Low Cost’ HiFi gyms especially in those tier II/III cities which may not support a full service Talwalkars’ gym. Membership growth too has kept pace with volume additions as seen from a 31 % membership CAGR over FY07-12 as compared to 29 % CAGR in gym base. Talwalkars is likely to incur about Rs. 1.8 Cr in capex per gym roll out while it would have shouldered about half the needs in case of a subsidiary. Since HiFi gym expansion would be largely through franchisee route, Talwalkars would not have to incur the capex for these gyms. Talwalkars is expected to add about 96 gyms in FY13-14 with 77 % of the gyms added under owned and HiFi brands. Accordingly, it is expected that the Capex/Sales ratio to decline to 21 % in FY13 from 45 % in current fiscal. On the pricing front, company intends to hike membership fees by 8 % for new gyms (<1 year of ops) from April’ 12. Given the largely fixed nature of costs it is expected that the operating leverage benefits to kick in over FY13/14, factoring in OPM of 44.9 % /45.2 %. Given that roll outs in next 2 years would be more through subsidiaries and HiFi franchisees (63 % share of incremental gym adds), it is expected that the capex intensity to decline to 21 % in FY14 from 45 % in current fiscal. This would help generate free cash flow in FY14. TBFV is a play on the growing healthcare market in India. It has a strong brand name and is now capitalizing, with rapid expansion. There are not any listed comparable players and thus its closest comparable peers are the consumption companies like Jubilant Food works, Page Industries, Titan Industries etc which trades at an average PE of 30 x FY13. At the current market price of Rs. 173.20, the stock is trading at 15.46 x FY13E and 11.47 x FY14E respectively. Earnings per share (EPS) of the company for FY13E and FY14E are seen at Rs. 11.20 and Rs. 15.10 respectively. It is expected that the company will keep its growth story intact in the coming quarters also. One could BUY TALWALKARS BETTER VALUE FITNESS LTD with a target price of Rs. 190.00 for Medium to Long term investment and for the SHORT TERM PLAYERS it should be Rs. 250.00

The Indian logistics industry accounts for a mere 2 % ($100 billion) of the $5000 billion global logistics industry despite having the second largest network of roads at 3.83 million km, the fourth largest rail network of 63000 km, 128 airports, 12 major ports, 1 trans-shipment port and 187 non major ports. Indian Logistics sector grew by 8 to 10 percent annually over the last decade. There are several factors which have favorably impacted the growth of the logistics industry, like the country’s tax regime, growth across major industry segments such as automobile, pharmaceutical, fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) and the emergence of organized retail. Exim trade volume of India is growing consistently from last decade hence India is set to increase its share in global trade from less than 1 % now to about 1.6 % in 2012. India’s level of containerization is less than 25 % as against global average of 60 % - 70 %. An average time taken to clear import and export cargo at ports is about 19 days in India as against 3-4 days in Singapore. The trend towards containerization picked up in India in the last decade. Container traffic has seen a growth of 12 % CAGR in India from 2.5 million TEU in 2000-01 to 7.5 million TEU in 2010-11, seeing this and due to competitive advantage Sanghvi Movers is best fitted to tap in the growing trend of containerization. 

Outlook and Valuation:

Sanghvi Movers nearly has a monopolistic position in the high tonnage crane rental market in India. The Company is a great proxy to play the improving Indian infrastructure industry. The company is led by C.Sanghvi and his professional team, company has been able to maintain its competitive advantages in this sector. Company has its Economic Moat (A competitive advantage that one company has over the other companies in the same industry - by Warren Buffett). Especially in businesses, logistics is responsible for all the movement that takes place within the organization whether it is inbound logistics of incoming, raw materials or movement within the company or the physical distribution of finished goods and logistics encompasses all of these. A typical logistics framework mainly consists of physical supply, internal operations and physical distribution of goods and services. To put it more simple manner, the material supply logistics starts from the base level of “generation of the demand”, through the “process of purchase” and “supply of material from the vendor” right through to “final acceptance” and “payments to the supplier” and “issue to the indenter” and has to be considered as a “one whole activity” with each stage having an impact on price/cost of material supply. Logistics is, in itself, a system; it is a network of related activities with the purpose of managing the orderly flow of material and personnel within the logistics channel and as said before the Indian logistics industry accounts for a mere 2 % ($100 billion) of the $5000 billion global logistics industry and the trade volume of India is growing consistently from last decade & hence India is all set to increase its share in global trade from less than 1 % now to about 1.6 % in 2012, and Sanghvi Movers is well equipped for that. The company will also be benefited from the boost by the Prime minster of India on infrastructure development plans – Sanghvi Movers is a silent play to the infrastructure sector. During the quarter ended, the Net profit of the company increased to Rs.24.66 Crs and registering a growth of 13.53 %. Net Sales and PAT of the company are expected to grow at a CAGR of 16 % by 2014E. At the current market price of Rs.104.70, the stock is trading at PE of about 3.92 x FY13E and 3.54 x FY14E respectively. Company can post Earnings per share (EPS) of about Rs. 26.69 for FY13E and Rs. 29.54 for FY14E respectively. On the basis of EV/EBITDA, the stock trades at 1.17 x for FY13E and 1.05 x for FY14E respectively. It is expected that the company will keep its growth story intact in the coming quarters with the help of its competitive advantage. One can ‘BUY’ SANGHVI MOVERS at every given opportunity with a target of Rs.117.00 for Medium to Long term investment.

MAHINDRA & MAHINDRA LTD: The Company was formed in 1945 as Mahindra & Mahindra and renamed as Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd in 1948, and is based in India. Mahindra & Mahindra Limited operates in the Motor vehicles and car bodies sector. The Company operates in nine segments: Automotive segment comprising of sales of automobiles, spare parts and related services; Farm equipment segment comprising of sales of tractors, spare parts and related services; Information technology (IT) services comprising of services rendered for IT and telecom; Financial services comprising of services relating to financing, leasing and hire purchase of automobiles and tractors; Steel trading and processing comprising of trading and processing of steel; Infrastructure comprising of operating of commercial complexes, project management and development; Hospitality segment comprising of sale of timeshare and Systech segment comprising of automotive components and other related products and services, and its others segment comprise of logistics, after-market, two wheelers and investment. In November 2009, BAE Systems entered into a joint venture agreement with Mahindra & Mahindra Limited to create a land systems focused joint venture Defense Company, based in India. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, the Company acquired a 70 % stake in Ssangyong Motor Company Limited - a manufacturer of sports utility vehicles in Korea. The company has a distribution network of over 130 dealers in Korea and exports to over 90 countries through 1,200 dealers. With the support of M&M, SMC is working on a revitalization plan with strong focus on cost reduction along with new product development and market expansion. Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd is compared with Maruti Suzuki India Ltd in India and globally with Beiqi Foton Motor Company Ltd and Guangzhou Automobile Group Company Limited.

Investment Rationale:

Mahindra & Mahindra announced a merger of MADPL (Mahindra Automobile Distributors Pvt Ltd) a 100 % subsidiary which manufactures Verito (erstwhile Mahindra-Renault Logan) recently with only the auto business is merged with the M&M while its Spare parts business continues to be a part of MADPL. Management expects passenger vehicle to grow by 10 % to 12 %,  it expects UVs to grow higher than the passenger vehicles. LCV’s is expected to grow by 10 % to 11 %, M&HCV at 5 % to 6 %, two wheelers at 12 % and expects flat growth in 3 wheelers segments. Due to state specific factors like continued rain deficit in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra leads to strong decline in demand but expectation of good monsoons in other parts of the country this season should help to recover volumes. Also, M&M’s exposure of tractors for non – farm purpose is considerably higher versus industry. Hence, weak demand in this segment, particularly in states like Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh impacted its volumes. Management estimates that industry volumes will increase by 5 % to 6 % in FY13. New tractor capacity plant is on track, which has initial capacity of 50,000 units (with scope for 100,000 units later). Also, M&M has resumed normal production post partial plant shutdown taken in Q4FY12. M&M is expected to introduce 6 to 7 models (new and refreshes) in the automotive segment (including sub 4 m Verito/compact SUV) and 1 new launch in the tractor segment (with 3 to 4 refreshes). Management says that its subsidiary Ssangyong was able to break even at EBIDTA level in Q4FY12. Management targets 1,60,000 volumes in 2013 and which will ramp up to 3,00,000 units by 2016. On Construction equipment segment, M&M has only 1 product – Backhoe loader and is currently maintaining a run rate of 100 units per month with an industry size of 25,000 units. M&M maintains its target of focusing on UVs only and has contract with Renault for technological support for Verito to ensure that there are adequate refreshes/variants. Outlook for tractor sales appears to be challenging given that the industry has witnessed just 3 % to 3.5 % growth in the past three months and management has guided for moderate growth of 5 % to 7 % in FY2013E. However, MM’s automotive volume growth continues to surprise positively, with 28.2 YoY growth witnessed in FY2012. 

Mahindra & Mahindra received strong response to its recently launched XUV500 which continued its momentum in the pick-up segment and the likely launch of the new Xylo should sustain automotive sales going ahead and somewhat offsets the weaker tractor demand. M & M’s new ventures in the CV space are firming up well. The new product launches such as GIO and Maxximo have received good response. Further, launch of new products in the M&HCV space has positioned the company in-line with other major domestic CV players such as Ashok Leyland and Tata Motors. This is expected to substantially augment the company’s overall volume growth, supported by its well-known brand equity and extensive sales network. Company has majority stakes in various listed companies in other sectors, including technology, property and finance, its Investments constitutes to 65 % of the balance sheet. The high growth potential of M & M's subsidiaries is expected to unlock the actual value of the stock over the years to come. Listing of its subsidiaries has been supporting the company’s valuation in the recent past and may continue to do so in the long term as well. So holding on to M & M for Value unlocking would be advisable for the long term players.

Outlook and Valuation:

M&M continued its subdued performance in Q4 FY12, underperforming SENSEX  by 10 % in H2 FY12, impacted by sluggish growth rate in tractor volumes and impending diesel price hikes and diesel engine tax rates. It is estimated that a strong demand outlook on automotive segment can be led by launch of XUV 5OO, new MPV, new Xylo. M&M has indicated that it will fully concentrate on UV segment and has no interest in cars beyond Verito. The company is also planning to launch a fresh version of Verito (Sub 4-meter). M& M targets sales volumes for FY13 by 4.1 % to 8,20,500 units, tractor sales for FY13 by 8.9 % to 2,46,000 units factoring weak rural demand, high interest rates and high base effect. FY13 EBITDA margin could be lower factoring in high raw material cost, higher promotional expenses for tractor segment and also due to merger of MADPL. Higher contribution from Chakan plant (Contribution from Chakan plant has gone up to 25 % from earlier 11 % - 12 %) would have a negative impact on standalone EBITDA margin. M&M will spend around Rs. 5,000 Cr on Capex over next three years. Moreover it plans to spend Rs. 2,500 Cr on investments. Recently, after raising the production capacity of its SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) XUV 500 to 5,000 units per month by March, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd will hit the brakes on the ramp up and will instead watch out for factors such as consumer-sentiments, market demand & macroeconomics environment. On SOTP (sum-of-the-parts) basis, the valuation of M & M on standalone business comes at Rs. 605 per share and rest of its subsidiary investment at Rs. 158/share for FY13E. Recent correction in M&M stock has factored in lower outlook for tractor sales. Key upsides to the estimations are more on normal monsoon, higher tractor sales in H1 FY13, lower interest rates and no price hikes in diesel and diesel engine vehicles. In my view M&M could report EPS in FY13E & FY14E of Rs. 39.70 / sh and Rs. 43.00 / sh, respectively. I would buy M & M LTD for the medium to long term period with a price target of Rs. 763.00
