National Mineral Development Corporation LTD:  The Company was founded on November 15, 1958 and is based in Hyderabad, India. It was formerly known as National Mineral Development Corporation ltd and changed its name to NMDC in August 2007. NMDC limited is an iron ore producer & exporter, operating in Chhattisgarh & Karnataka. It engages in the exploration and production of various minerals in India and internationally. It explores for iron ore, copper, rock phosphate, lime stone, dolomite, gypsum, bentonite, magnesite, diamond, tin, tungsten, graphite & beach sand. The company also focuses on coal and gold properties, as well as platinum group of elements and bauxite. It has iron ore deposits in Bailadila Chhattisgarh, Iron ore mines at Donimalai Karnataka; diamond mines at Panna Madhya Pradesh; magnesite mines at Jammu; & Arki lime stone project in Himachal Pradesh. In addition, the company involves in investing in the development of renewable energy resources, which include wind mill projects of approximately 10.5 MW capacities at Karnataka. On December 10, 2010, NMDC announced a joint venture (JV) with OJSC Severstal (a vertically integrated steel maker from Russia) to build an integrated 2mn tonne steel plant in Karnataka. This JV will have captive coking coal mine in Russia, while it will have an iron ore mining subsidiary in India. On September 2011, NMDC purchased a 50 % stake in Australian-based Legacy Iron Ore (Legacy) as a cornerstone investor for Rs. 92 Cr. On December 12, 2011 the company incorporated NMDC POWER LTD as is wholly owned subsidiary. NMDC supplied 2.6916 Cr tons of iron ore to domestic industries & had exported 3.85 lakhs tons of iron ore. Its sponge iron production was at 37,260 tons and Diamond production was 18,043.44 Carats during the ended on March 31, 2012. NMDC is locally compared with Sesea Goa Limited, Orissa Mineral Development Corporation Ltd, Gujarat Minerals Development Ltd, Sterlite Industries, Moil Ltd, Godawari Power & Ispat Limited and globally with China Vanadium Titano- Magnetite Mining Company Limited of China, Atlas Iron Ltd of Australia, Gindalbie Metals Ltd of Australia, Mount Gibson Iron Ltd of Australia, Ferrexpo Plc of UK and with MMX Mineracao e Metalicos Sa of brazil and with Cliffs Natural Resources Incorporation of USA.

Investment Rationale:

NMDC is India’s largest iron ore producer which is 20% of total production of India with a capacity of 36 mn tonne. The company operates high-grade iron ore mines at Kirandul and Bacheli in Chhattisgarh and Donimalai in Karnataka. Company’s mine life is of currently of average 38 years. NMDC has recently in the month of June signed a Memorandum of understanding with Mosi Oa Tunya Development Company of Zimbabwe for the participation in mineral projects. This MoU will provide exclusivity to NMDC for participation in mineral projects at Zimbabwe. NMDC plans to develop minerals assets overseas to secure raw materials for the steel industry. MOSI an organisation, ministry of tourism and hospitality, Government of Zimbabwe has invited NMDC as strategic partner to invest in the exploration and development of iron ore, coal, gold and chrome tenements. The management of NMDC believes that this MOU is a significant step towards ensuring augmentation of NMDC’s mineral reserves and globalisation of its operations. NMDC is one of the lowest cost producers of iron ore on account of its highly mechanized mines, high-grade iron ore mines and logistical efficiencies. Further, NMDC does not have to face issues of high employee costs as a percentage of net sales. Its staff costs/net sales ratio is the lowest amongst other PSUs. NMDC aims to ramp up its production capacity to 48mn tonne by FY2015 from current capacity of 32mn tonne through increased exploration of its existing mines and development of new mines at Deposit 11B and Deposit 13 in Bailadila and Kumaraswany, respectively which are situated at Karnataka. Given its past proven track record, it seems that company’s iron ore production capacity can increase to 40mn tonne by FY2015 as compared against its target of 48mn tonne. Although sales volumes declined 3.9% yoy in FY2013, a CAGR of 8.8 % in sales growth can be expected over FY2013-15E. The Management intends to diversify its operations by moving downstream through establishing steel plants and pellet plants. Accordingly, the company aims to build an integrated 3mn tonne steel plant in Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh. Land acquisition for the same is nearly complete, which gives comfort as land acquisition is & has been a major bottleneck to green-field projects in recent times. So this steel project is not likely to be value accretive to NMDC in the initial period of operations.

Outlook and Valuation:

NMDC Ltd announced its iron ore production at 6.82 million tonne (mt) in April-June, this was flat on year as rains affected mining operations in June. NMDC has its mines in Chhattisgarh and Karnataka. Company's iron ore output in April was 2.44 mt, in May it was 2.45 mt and in June it was 1.93 mt. The company aims to produce 30-32 mt of iron ore in 2013-14 as against 27 mt a year ago. NMDC has fallen off about 40% over last one year and is now trading at market capitalization of about Rs. 40,000 Cr. The company is debt free with Rs. 20,000 Cr of cash and generating about Rs. 6000 Cr of net profit annually. The company talks about volume growth of about 15% for FY14 and maintain a 40% dividend payouts with a chance of it going upward based on the capex spending. Due to the rupee devaluation the effect of fall in International price of iron ore wont impact much the company. NMDC has guided for a sales volume of 30- 32 mt for FY14, higher than its earlier indication of 27- 28 mtpa. Volume form Karnataka has been pegged at 9- 10 mtpa including 4.5- 5 mt each from Donimalai and Kumaraswamy. The management has clarified that Donimalai would continue to produce at a rate of 4.5- 5 mtpa in near to medium term and they have requested the CEC and the IBM in this regard. In that case, the company would not be in a hurry to ramp up Kumaraswamy to 7 mtpa immediately. The management also indicated that the Q1FY14 sales volume would be more than Q1FY13 (6.86 mt), as it has already achieved a volume of around 5.3 mt during April and May. As per the management, the average rake availability per day at present has been 17, as against 14.7 in FY13 and 18.4 during Q4FY13. The company expects if this run rate continues it can evacuate about 23 mtpa through rail. By road, the company is likely to transport around 5 mtpa and around 2.5 mt is likely to be exported. NMDC believes, at the present scenario there may not be further price cuts. Even if it has to take, it won’t be significant. Employee costs revision is meanwhile due since April1, 2012, however the company has been making provision of about 15% every quarter. Over the past five years, NMDC has traded at an average EV/EBITDA of 13.0 x, as compared to its current valuation of 3.3x FY2015E EV/EBITDA. A strong balance sheet, presence in sellers’ market i.e. iron ore, low cost of production, high-grade mines, long mine life and a High dividend yield of nearly 6% at CMP make NMDC an attractive but at current levels. Valuing the stock at 5 x FY2015E EV/EBITDA, a fair value of NMDC comes at Rs. 140 and recommend to Accumulate on dips. In my view NMDC could report EPS in FY14E & FY15E of Rs. 16.20 sh and Rs. 17.60 / sh, respectively. One could buy NMDC for a short term target of Rs. 115 and for medium to long term target will be Rs. 140

INC of USA, Rolex of Switzerland, Omega of Switzerland, Oakley of USA, Timex of USA, Seiko of Japan, TAG Heuer of Switzerland, Patek Philippe of Switzerland, Swatch Group of Europe .  

Investment Rationale:

Titan Industries Ltd is the world’s fifth largest integrated watch manufacturer with a market share of around 65% in the domestic organised watch market and also enjoys market share of around 40% in the organised jewellery retailing market where the company offers gold and diamond jewellery through its popular brands like Tanishq, Gold Plus and Zoya. Recently, RBI tightened the gold import norm and has gradually doubled the import duty on gold from 4% to 6% to the present 8% this year. From now on, all imports of gold for domestic consumption either through banks or nominated agencies or directly is to be made only with 100% cash margin. Credit of any kind from suppliers or bullion banks for import of gold for domestic use is prohibited. This means that jewelers who traditionally used to borrow gold from domestic banks on 180-day credit will no longer be able to do so. Earlier, Titan never used to buy gold with its own money. They used to lease (borrow) gold from domestic banks for 180 days with the risk of gold prices being borne by the bank. This was a fairly effective and profitable method of procuring gold and led to multiple benefits for the company like the cost of leasing gold was a minuscule 3%, almost one-third of what would have been the financing cost of gold procurement. The balance sheets of jewelers like Titan always remained debt-free, as the company only booked payable's which were due to the bank in current liabilities. This also meant that return ratios also looked quite healthy. But, with RBI’s new norms the entire business model of the jewellery business in India will need to undergo a structural change. Profit growth would be impacted as interest income will come down and interest outgo will shoot up, now company will have to use its own funds and consequently its average cost of gold purchase will shoot up from the current 3% to estimated 10%, the debt on the books will rise significantly, need for working capital will increase significantly. However there is a hope of policy reversal once the current account deficit situation eases. Also, the company can use its license to import gold directly, which will lead to savings of around 1% (paid in the form of VAT). Also, in the longer term, smaller players may find it difficult to sustain. Hence, Titan could gain in the form of increased market share and passing on the additional cost to the consumers by hiking prices of around 3% inform of making charges. The company will use MCX gold futures to hedge its exposure. Company will re-evaluate its current expansion plans and may shelve some of them in order to concentrate on changing business scenario. A growing economy, improving lifestyle, Titan continues to get benefited from the shift from unbranded to branded Jewellery. Titan continues to charge an average 22 % of Gold price as its making charge can easily pass on the hiked prices to consumers.

Outlook and Valuation: 

Titan Industries recently stated that it is seeing strong jewellery sales despite government measures to discourage consumption of gold in country. The company gets around 83% of its total net sales from jewellery, which they expect to grow by over 15% on year in April June and over 25% in 2013-14. Titan is most likely to gain market share from other organised & unorganised players as it has the easier access to credit due to years of strong operating performance, healthy balance sheet and most prominently the Tata brand. Although, its RoCE will take a hit, but company’s has the capability to reinvent its business model. Assuming the ban is for a long duration; as gold imported on lease forms only 8% of total gold imported, the company will surely make its way out. Titan does have a licence to import gold directly to the tune of 10 tonnes. This is a one-time licence and not an annual limit. The company’s annual requirement of gold is around 20 tonnes this will not cover the entire need, but still provides an opportunity for it to partly use the facility, at least in FY14. 

It is notably to say here that, since November  2012, the Rupee has fallen 11.92 % as against dollar where as, internationally the gold prices have fallen nearly 28.13 % over the same period. With strident RBI rules the gold demand is expected to take a dip of around 200 tonnes, which can lower further regulatory action from RBI. At the current market price of Rs.232.05, the stock is trading at a PE of 21.17 x FY15E which compares with the sector average of around 27.5 x and mid cap sector at 24-25 x. While the regulation and demand environment will some what impact the stock and will tend it to trade at lower multiples. But still Titan can post Earnings per share (EPS) of Rs. 10.96 for FY15E. It still remains a solid long term play on the growth of the Indian Jewellery sector with proven management track record. It is expected that soon the demand environment will improve and expect the company to keep its growth story in the coming quarters also. One can ‘BUY’ Titan Industries with a short term target price of Rs. 250.00 and for Medium to Long term investment it could be a good buy for the target price of Rs. 285.

It has operations in India, the United States, Canada, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. ZEEL can be locally be compared with Sun TV Network Ltd, Network 18 Media & Investment Ltd and TV18 Broadcasts Limited and Globally with Walt Disney company of USA, News Corp of USA, Time Warner of USA , CBS of USA, VIACOM of USA, NBC Universal of USA.

Investment Rationale:

Zee Entertainment Enterprise Ltd the country's largest content provider has unveiled its new corporate brand identity that positions the company as one of the world for the world. The new brand logo this time includes the famous Indian maxim "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" or "The World is my Family" or shared humanity reflecting the corporate increasing global footprint over the last 20 years. ZEE globally comprises of 67 Cr people including viewers, shareholders, partners and other stakeholders and growing stronger. This new identity now encompasses the ZEE group's news and digital business verticlas, bringing them under one umbrella brand called "ZEE Media". ZEE has a presence in content distribution through both analog and digital platforms through Media Pro Enterprise India, which is a joint venture between Zee Turner and Star Den Media Services. The bargaining power of Media Pro enables Zee along with Star and Turner channels to command a higher share of the ARPU than their combined market share. The board of directors of ZEEL, as a Special Reward to its shareholders, on completion of 20 years of broadcasting business of the Company have announced and approved distribution of about Rs. 2,015 Crs, by way of Bonus issue of 6% Redeemable Preference Shares of Face value of Re. 1 each. The bonus issue is in ratio of 1:21 i.e. 21 redeemable preference shares with tenure of eight years of Re. 1 each for every 1 Equity share of Re. 1 held in a company. Board also recommended a dividend of Rs. 2 (200% of face value). The bonus issue will amount to outgo of Rs. 2,015 crore, with one-fifth of the amount i.e. around Rs. 400 Cr redeemable from fourth year onwards in five equal instalments till eight year. On the performance side the average weekly GRPs of ZEEL increased from 196 to 220 with a relative market share of 19% among the top 6 GECs, this was reflected in the ad growth of 15.5% YoY at Rs. 479.2 Cr in quarter gone by. The improving ad scenario is expected to provide impetus to ad growth subsequently. It is expected that company can have ad growth of 8.90% and 10.2% in FY14 & FY15 respectively. Also, the subscription revenue growth has been seen largely due to DTH penetration. Revenue from digital cable would further drive growth subsequently. Zee Entertainment’s Q4FY13 numbers were better on all the fronts. The top-line came in at Rs. 964.3 Cr showing growth of 11.0% YoY. Both ad revenues and subscription revenues posted growth of 15.5% YoY and 13.0% QoQ. The robust revenue growth led to a better-than-expected EBITDA margin of 25.1% expanding 6.71% YoY in spite of higher sport losses in this quarter. Consequently, PAT came in at Rs. 179.6 Cr posting growth of 12.1% YoY. Incremental subscription revenue from digital cable is yet to flow into the financials of Zee.

Outlook and Valuation:

ZEEL has recently launched Bengali movies channel Zee Bangla Cinema, Arabic GEC Zee Alwan and Kids edutainment channel ZeeQ. ZEEL’s subscription revenue continued its trend of posting strong growth due to increased penetration of digital systems, especially DTH, and better bargaining power because of Media Pro. The subscription revenue grew 13% QoQ to Rs. 454.6 crore. The growth was brought about by a domestic subscription revenue growth of 13.5% QoQ. The international subscription revenue grew by 3.2% QoQ to Rs. 117.2 crore. The under declaration by Local Cable Operators has badly affected the ARPU from analog cable, which currently stands around Rs. 4.00 per subscriber as compared to Rs. 17.00 per DTH subscriber. With impending digitisation, cable and DTH ARPU are expected to be on converging. This would lead to incremental subscription revenue of around Rs. 620.1 crore from FY12-15. The overall subscription revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 24.7% in FY12-15 to reach Rs. 2,531.0 crore for FY15. At the current market price of Rs. 235.55, the stock is trading at 28.04 x FY14E EPS of Rs 8.40/share and at 21.03 x FY15E EPS of Rs 11.12/share. Based on last quarterly performance and issuance of redeemable preference shares as bonus shows the management’s confidence in future cash flows of the company, but one should expect to take a hit in dividend pay-out, with Sports business continues to generate operating loss along with the TRAI's QoS regulations which is the cap on advertising time on a clock hour basis can impact ad volumes, hence ignoring little much of risk, the stock could be a buy at current levels with a medium to long term target of Rs. 258.

Investment Rationale:

Mahindra & Mahindra, India’s leading SUV manufacturer and the leader in the Indian Pick up segment has now entered into compact car segment, where Maruti & Hyundai are dominant players with introducing M&M's Verito Vibe a sub 4 meter vehicle based on the Verito (Logan) platform. M&M has invested around Rs. 60 Cr in the development of its new 'Vibe' and has launched three variants starting from Rs. 5.63 lakhs to Rs. 6.49 lakhs (ex- showroom Mumbai without octroi). M&M is targeting a niche segment by calling the Vibe a compact car not a Hatchback or sub 4-meter sedan. M&M had two launches in the month of April and May - first its new Bolero Maxi Truck Plus (BMY Plus) which is priced at Rs. 4.33 lakhs (BS3) ex showroom Thane and Rs. 4.43 lakhs (BS4) ex showroom Mumbai excluding octroi. This truck has been developed on Mahindra’s rugged Bolero Pick up platform and is conceptualized to carter to the needs of urban goods transportation. It is powered by Mahindra’s proven 2523 CC fuel efficient common rail engine which delivers 17.7 km per liter mileage. Second it launched its H- Series Xylo with the advance technology mHawk engine. The power pack h-series offers a range of variants starting with H4 (with ABS options), H8 (with ABS & Airbag option) and a fully loaded feature packed H9 version which includes several unique features like Voice Command Technology (VCT), Cruise Control, Digital drive Assist System etc. The new H series starts at an very competitive price of Rs. 8.23 lakhs ex showroom Mumbai. It will be notable to say here that Xylo was introduced in 2009 and from then on it has carved a unique identity for itself in the area of class leading space & comfort. Mahindra Vehicle Manufacturers Limited (MVML), located at Chakan near Pune, was set up as a 100% subsidiary of the company with a view to sourcing contemporary products for expanding the market offerings of the company. The overall performance of the standalone business has been good despite the tough operating environment, with the UV segment growing 23.4% YoY while the FES segment de-grew of around 1% YoY. Export markets volumes have been lower in the quarter as international markets like Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have witnessed slowdown. The consolidated Gross Revenues and Other Income for the year ended 31st March 2013 grew by 17.4 % to Rs. 74,403.0 crore from Rs. 63,357.8 crore in last year. On account of a change in the status of Tech Mahindra from a Joint Venture to an Associate effective 31st Aug 2012, the revenues reported above include M&M’s share of Tech Mahindra revenue only till end Aug 2012. On a like to like basis the growth in the consolidated revenues in the current year is 20.6% over the previous year. The consolidated profit after tax and after deducting minority interests for the year is Rs. 4,099.2 crore as compared to Rs. 3,126.7 crore in the previous year – a growth of 31.1%. During the year, some of the major group companies like Mahindra Finance, Mahindra Lifespace Developers and Tech Mahindra significantly improved their performance over the previous year. Mahindra Finance performed with a 41% growth in consolidated revenues and showed 44% increase in profits, and that of Tech Mahindra with a 22% growth in consolidated revenues and an 18% growth in profits. There was significant improvement in the performance of Ssangyong Motors, the group’s South Korean subsidiary, with a 29% reduction in its losses. During the current year there was also a deemed divestiture profit of Rs. 277 crore arising from the Qualified Institutional Placement of Shares by Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services Ltd. In the Passenger Utility Vehicle segment, the Entity sold 72,076 vehicles in the current quarter - a growth of 23% over the numbers sold in Q4 last year. All the products of the entity’s UV portfolio continued to do well and the Entity continued its leadership position with a market share of 47.8%. In the Cars segment, the Entity sold 3,747 Verito Cars. The Entity also exported 7,766 Vehicles in the current quarter. In this quarter, the company sold 46,107 tractors under the Mahindra & Swaraj brands as against 48,517 tractors sold in Q4 last year. The company exported 3,767 tractors in Q4.

Outlook and Valuation:

M&M continued its good performance in spite of the tight macroeconomic constraints that had tethered the Indian economy for the past several quarters and which seems to have somewhat eased in the last few months. The company’s market share during the quarter was 37.2%. Looking forward, the management expects the Indian economy to stage mildly, consumption-led recovery in Fiscal year 2014. Subject to a normal monsoon, as forecast by the Indian Meteorological Department, agricultural growth is likely to see considerable improvement in Fiscal year 2014, leading to a steady moderation in inflation and a bounce back in rural incomes, and consumer demand. At the same time, with the advanced economies expected to witness a recovery this year, exports are likely to maintain the momentum witnessed in Q4. Private investment demand, however, is likely to remain weak. It may show a significant pick up in case there is a concerted policy action by the government. Overall, our outlook on the economy, while more positive than six months ago, remains cautious and watchful. On SOTP (sum-of-the-parts) basis, the valuation of M & M on standalone business comes at Rs. 825/share and the value of its investments in other listed subsidiaries comes at Rs. 228.40/share after a 20% holding discount. 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 will continue to do so in the long term as well. So holding on to M & M would be advisable for the long term players. In my view M&M could report EPS in FY14E & FY15E of Rs. 62.20 sh and Rs. 72.70/sh, respectively. I would buy M & M LTD for the medium to long term period with a price target of Rs. 1053.40
