Sterlite Industries: Jottings on proposed restructuring of Vedanta Group Assets

The mega merger of Vedanta Group Assets will burden Sterlite Limited with capital intensive and trouble-some aluminum operations thus denting its fundamental strengths.
  • Compared to calculated cost saving of Rs1,000Cr from resulting synergies, the merged entity will be laden with net debt nearly Rs37,000 Cr leading to additional interest burden of Rs3,000 Cr. Thus the proposed mega merger is likely to result in additional cash outflow of Rs2,000Cr.
  • We view the proposed restructuing as an exercise by the promoter group to club its wholly owned non-lucrative aluminum business (MALCO, Vedanta Aluminum) with its lucrative listed operations of Zinc and Iron Ore where there is substantial minority interest. A similar attempt in 2009 was thwarted by institutional investors due to corporate governance issues.
  • Also, we foresee operational compatibility issues in management of the proposed mineral resource giant.
  • As a standalone entity we hold a positive outlook on Sterlite Industries at current price levels (Rs115). However, we view the proposed restructuring to be an exercise of value destruction for its shareholders. Hence we rate the company an Avoid.

Bad Market News, Good Stock Price!!!


Anavaran.png
Glimpses from the past

In March 2003, a leading business magazine carried a cover story titled  “CAN THE SENSEX TOUCH 4000 in 2003?”.  Now, that shouldn’t have been a question of so importance so as to reach the front cover, especially when markets had already crossed that mark 10 year back in 1992. Surprisingly, of all the experts surveyed for the masterpiece, no one dared to predict a humble 4K mark for the beloved Sensex. 3,800 was their most bullish projection.

 

 

For the record, the article turned out to be good luck charm for the market and Sensex registered a whooping gain of 89% in rather short period of 9 months. With the benefit of hindsight, it can be said that is was not just that year but a beginning of 5 year bull rally that culminated in January 2008 with Sensex breaching 21,000. Moral of the story, none of the market pundits, at least those in public arena, were able to predict the coming bull run in stock market.  So, could be the case this time as well. Afterall, the Sensex had first time breached current levels of 17,000, 5 years back.

Back to the future

Feels  good to see 5% upside in broader markets since upward revision in our market outlook from neutral to cautiously bullish. We continue to maintain our bullish stance on the market, but are becoming increasingly cautious with every point rise in broader market.

Series of bad news continued to flow in since upward revision in our market outlook of which petrol price hike, depreciating rupee and weak IIP numbers occupied maximum public attention. Market eyes are now glued to RBI’s decisions on interest rate on 18 June 2012. Given continued slowdown in industrial growth 25 bps cut in interest rate is almost certain and even 50 bps cut lies within the realm of reality. 

Rate cut, rating cut

Mr Market’s excitement on probable rate cut by RBI is being subdued by S&P’s cautionary on potential rating cut on Indian debt below investment grade.  Rating agencies have been behind the curve for the past decade with subprime crisis in US and sovereign debt related problems of PIIGS group standing epitome to their prowess. S&P’s caution note only reiterated those issues, policy paralysis and rising fiscal deficit, that were already known for quite long. Hence, we don’t foresee much impact of proposed rating cut signals on long term fundamentals.

Because of positive impact of RBI credit policy on interest rate sensitive sectors, falling crude oil prices and more because of the low prices that the stock are trading in current markets, we maintain our cautious but bullish stance on the Indian stock markets.

Sanghvi Movers: High growth company @ low stock price

Sanghvi Movers (CMP-Rs104)

Sanghvi Movers is a crane hiring company servicing infrastructure and mining companies. The company owns over 400 hydraulic truck mounted cranes with lifting capacity of 200 to 800 tons. The company has expanded its fleet which has largely been funded by debt which has increased from Rs275Cr in 2007 to Rs640Cr in 2011. 

Sanghvi’s sales increased during the same period  from Rs179Cr to Rs361Cr in  and is poised to cross Rs400Cr in just concluded  fiscal year (FY12).  Net income increased from Rs47Cr in 2007 to Rs86Cr in 2011. We estimate the company to register net profit of Rs100Cr in 2012. 

Based on FY12 earnings, the company is trading at PE of 4.5x. Given strong business fundamentals and high growth potential, we expect he company’s valuation multiple to be re-rated upwards over the coming years. This coupled with growth in earnings will boost company’s valuation over the coming years. 
At CMP of Rs104, we expect growth in company’s stock price to exceed hurdle return rate of 18%. Dividend yield of 3% further sweetens the deal. Hence we rate the company a BUY for long term investors. (Investment Horizon:2-3 years)

However, the company high debt and capital requirements to fund its expansion coupled with week market sentiments will keep the stock price pressurized over the near-to-medium term. Hence fresh position in the company should be taken only with long term investment horizon.
