Company’s Intent to Diversify Business Tends to be a
Positive Move
New Revenue Streams: Considering the rapid increase of data services
through expansion of 3G / 4G network and infrastructure expansion across
cities, we expect a likely surge in demand for small cells, berised backhaul,
WiFi and In-building Solutions (IBS) which are new revenue oppounities
for tower companies. These will also be key to the ‘Sma Cities’ - ‘Digital
India’ project which is one of the biggest focus areas of the Government
of India. Development of ‘Sma Cities’ is a key initiative under the ‘Digital
India’ Program and the Government has already announced the creation of
100 ‘Sma Cities’. During the year, Bhai Infratel has been implementing
the Bhopal Sma City project while the company’s Joint Venture with Indus
won the bids for Sma city project of Vadodara and New Delhi Municipal
Corporation area. For both the Companies, these projects will open a new
avenue of business.
Low Rural Penetration Levels: Indian telecom market has a huge untapped
potential in the rural areas. With wireless rural tele-density still at 58.7% (as
of Mar 31, 2018, Source TRAI), there is signicant headroom for growth in
voice services currently and in data services over time in these untapped
areas. The high cost of providing services and the ability to quickly deploy
state of the a networks will translate into growth oppounities for the
Company. Already, Bhai Infratel has a wide footprint in the Category B and
C circles enabling the expansion of networks in rural markets.
Expect healthy gross tenancy additions ahead: Management indicated that
gross tenancy addition trend may be weak for some time but it is expected
to bounce back on account of aggressive 4G rollouts from incumbents. As
per management, they do not foresee any threat for gross tenancy additions
despite Jio’s continued preference to build some of the sites on its own.
5G Incremental Oppounities: The company has stated that they have
already staed deploying small cell in top 2 metros and this would be a
scalable model for the company as data usage will be elevated when 5G will
be deployed.
Valuation and Risks: At CMP of 263, BHIN is trading at a P/E 21x FY20E EPS.
The consensus has valued the stock at P/E of 24.5x FY20E EPS, arriving at a
target price of Rs. 308 with an upside potential of 17%.

Company Background
Bhai Infratel is a provider of tower and related infrastructure and on a consolidated basis, the company
is one of the largest tower infrastructure providers in India, based on the number of towers that Bhai
Infratel owns and operates and the number of towers owned or operated by Indus, that are represented
by Bhai Infratel’s 42% equity interest in Indus ,which was created as a Joint Venture among Bhai Infratel,
Vodafone and Aditya Birla Telecom to hive o the Towers business in 15 telecom circles.
The company is a pioneer in the tower infrastructure sharing concept in India with over 39,000+ towers
across 18 states, and 11 Telecom circles, with some of them in the remotest and tough terrains. The
company has also pioneered the concept of environment friendly Towers or ‘GreenTowers’ and energy
ecient methods for maintenance of these towers. Infratel has helped Telecom operators maximize their
reach in a sho period of time. Infratel is a domain within Aiel and is responsible for managing the tower
infrastructure of Aiel’s wireless business. Bhai Infratel is created as an independent tower company
to provide compelling capex saving oppounities to telecom service providers, while optimally utilising
Aiel’s large tower base.
INFRATEL: Technical View
The stock price made an all time low of 126 in June’13, wherein from it witnessed stupendous rise
towards 499.65 made in the sta of Aug’15. Aer clocking an all time high, stock entered into a
deep correction mode, which extended in time also. From the highs, prices made a swing low of
281.75 in the sta of Mar’17, wherein from price rebounded towards its all time high and where
it found resistance and again entered into a correction mode; in the last correction prices failed
to protect its previous swing low of 281.75 and moved lower. Technically, prices have a typical
behavior of respecting double booms and bouncing back; in the recent past, stock has made a
double boom near 244 levels and aempted to recover, exhibiting possibility of prices to regain
strength in sessions to come. On the weekly momentum setup, 14-pd RSI was consolidating below
40-levels from last couple of months, but in the recent pullback indicator aempted to move above
consolidation zone, which indicates prices may recover from lower levels. Going forward, stock
has impoant suppo near 230-240 levels, followed by 180-200 levels. On the higher side, stock is
likely to nd immediate resistance near 290-300 levels, followed by 325-330 moving above which
stock may move towards 380-400 mark.

Relative Underpeormance Gives Condence
Price reaction overdone:
Aer HCL Technologies (HCLT) announced $1.8 bn
deal to acquire 8 soware products from IBM, the largest ever deal by an Indian
IT company, markets expressed concerns about the rationale behind the deal and
punished the stock. We believe that these 8 products with a market size of $110
bn will bring in great synergies in the form of $625mn in incremental revenues in
12 months aer completion of the deal (mid-2019) and addition of more clients.
Moreover, we believe that relative underpeormance of HCLT (returned just 5%
YTD vs average YTD return of 23% recorded by Big Five IT rms and 25% YTD return
posted by BSE IT Index over the same period) prices in all the risks in the deal.
Large deal wins to suppo organic growth:
Concerns surrounding organic
growth rate seem to be faded with the announcement of four mega deals from
Broadcom, Nokia, P&G and Barclays. Organic growth rate for H1 FY19 at 7%-8%
was beer than expected and we believe that HCLT might close FY19 with an
organic growth rate of 7%-8%, much beer than 5% guided by the management.
Mode 3 achieves scale as Mode 2 gains traction:
One of the four large deals
announced recently was based on professional services related to cyber security
and DevOps. We believe that this is proof of HCLT’s capabilities and its past
investments would fuher enhance its Mode 2 revenues, thanks to its recent deals
announced, we believe Mode 3 will gain traction.
Key Catalysts for earnings re-rating in place: We believe regaining organic
growth momentum and scaling up of products and plaorms business are
key catalysts for rerating of the earnings and subsequently the stock. We
believe that the ongoing large deal momentum and maturing of IBM’s IP
panerships are giving visibility for the same. In the coming year, we expect
HCLT’s stock price to be re-rated given the rerating of earnings.
Valuation and Risks: We remain positive on the stock given its relative
underpeormance, upside risks to core organic growth and its potential to
increase Mode 2 and Mode 3 revenues. We reiterate our buy on HCLT and
value it on a consensus FY20E PE of 14.5x with a target price of Rs. 1167, an
upside of 22%.

HCLTECH: Technical View
HCLTECH has witnessed a stellar rally from the low of 654 levels till it clocked its life time high of
1125 levels on 25th September, 2018. Thereaer, the rally took pause, on account of prot taking;
price corrected and made a low of 930.70 levels. Currently, the stock is consolidating in a range of
930-980 levels forming a base before its next rally. Among the indicators and oscillators, the 14-day
RSI is trading above its 9-day signal line on daily cha and poised with bullish bias, indicating that
stock is likely to continue its outpeormance in the coming month as well. Among other leading
indicators, parabolic SAR (Stop & Reverse) is trading below the current price on monthly cha,
suggesting an uptrend in the counter. The MACD is trading above the signal line in buy territory on
monthly cha, indicating positive momentum in the stock on medium to long term perspective.
On the downside, stock has an immediate suppo around its 52 week low of 850 levels, followed
by 760-750 levels. While on the higher side stock may nd immediate resistance near 1050-1060
levels, followed by 1125-1150 levels. From the above observation, technically the stock has potential
to surge higher towards its life time high and eventually in an unchaed territory in the coming
months.

Horlicks Proves to be a Drink of Health for the Health
Food Drinks Business
HUL’s acquisition of GSK Consumer garners valuation of the entity at
Rs. 317 Bn. HUL, implies a leadership in the domestic HFD (Health Food
Drinks) business along with soaps and detergent category. Given the low
penetration in the HFD category i.e. 14% in rural market and 24% in overall
domestic market, there is ample oppounity for growth which will be aided
by HUL’s strong direct distribution network (3x GSK Consumer’s). HUL’s
volume increased more than its peers, such as Dabur, Marico, BCL, etc. Post-
merger GSK Consumer will hold 5.7% in HUL with a lock in period of one year.
GSK Consumer would supposedly liquidate its shares to nance the Novais
acquisition. Synergy from the acquisition will lower HUL’s operational
expenditure, employee costs, A&P spends, and procurement costs.
Intimidating presence in premium detergents space: Channel checks have
suggested that the market share has increased for HUL in the premium
detergents space. HUL’s dominance reects the company’s solid execution
and market development eos as well.
Valuation and Risks: We believe HFD pofolio growth will accelerate, given
its strong direct distribution and pofolio innovation. In addition, signicant
cost savings are expected in FY21E, aer all synergies from the deal factor in.
To consider all benets of the acquisition, we have assigned HUL a P/E of 54x
to arrive at a TP of Rs. 2138 reecting an upside potential of 17%.

heritage of over 80 years in India. In 1931, Unilever set up its rst Indian subsidiary, Hindustan Vanaspati
Manufacturing Company, followed by Lever Brothers India Limited (1933) and United Traders Limited
(1935). These three companies merged to form HUL in November 1956; HUL oered 10% of its equity to
the Indian public, being the rst among the foreign subsidiaries to do so. Unilever now holds 67.25% equity
in the company. The rest of the shareholding is distributed among about 3 lakh individual shareholders
and nancial institutions. With over 35 brands spanning 20 distinct categories such as soaps, detergents,

Pond’s, Vaseline, Lakmé, Dove, Clinic Plus, Sunsilk, Pepsodent, Closeup, Axe, Brooke Bond, Bru, Knorr,
Kissan, Kwality Wall’s and Pureit.
HINDUNILVR: Technical View
HINDUNILVR is in uptrend and making higher highs and higher lows on weekly chas. The historical
price action in the stock reects that, any meaningful dip in the stock may aract market paicipants
which will help stock to resume its up move. Currently, the stock is trading near its all time high and
seen prot bookings from its all time high levels of 1869.50 levels which has placed the stock to the
low of 1741.25 levels. Thereaer, the stock has bounced from the said lower levels with suppoive
volume formation on daily chas which suggests that the strong hands are accumulating the stock
at higher levels. Prior to that, the stock has seen sharp cut from the high of 1808 levels which has
placed the stock near its 200 DEMA on daily chas. The bounce from the 200 DEMA has seen
suppoive volume formation which again reects uptrend in the stock will remain intact. The stock
is trading above all its major moving averages on daily chas which indicates strength in the stock.
On technical setup, the 14 period RSI is pointing nohwards indicates strength in the stock. The
parabolic SAR is trading below the price on weekly chas which indicates uptrend in the stock will
remain intact.

Recovery and Stability at the Core
The peormance continues to underlie the traction in recovery & stability in the
core operating metrics. Headline loan growth numbers showed improvement as
the quaer saw lesser drag from stressed book and the healthy pa continues
to grow. Margins showed sharp sequential uptick (14 bps QoQ) aided by multiple
factors and the outlook remains positive. Core fee income growth too held on to
the improved growth trajectory.
Loan Growth:
The loan book (Rs. 5.5 trillion) growth for the quaer was healthy
and broadly in line with the expectation at 5.5%/12.8% QoQ/YoY. The same was
well diversied across the segments: Retail (5.0%/20.5% QoQ/YoY, 57.3% of
loan mix), SME (5.8%/21.8% QoQ/YoY, 4.6% of loan mix), Domestic Corporate
(5.2%/5.3% QoQ/YoY, 25.4% of loan mix), and Overseas (7.1%/-4.0% QoQ/YoY,
12.7% of loan mix). The growth in overseas is more optical as the same reects
the positive impact of rupee depreciation. The growth in retail was diversied
largely across the products and gives us condence on the hold on asset quality at
the granular level. While the headline loan growth in the domestic corporate was
muted at 5.3% YoY, the underlying growth in the non-stress book was healthy at
~15%. With big ticket resolutions expected over 2HFY19E, we expect the headline
reading on domestic corporate to remain weak. We have revised our FY19E/FY20E
growth estimates by 13.4%/18.0% (earlier 10.8%/16.7%).
Stable Asset quality:
The headline asset quality ratios GNPA/NNPA/Coverage
improved to 8.54%/3.65%/59.5% vs 8.81%/4.19%/54.8% in Q2FY19. The retail
slippages were at ~Rs. 8 bn vs ~Rs. 11 bn in Q2FY19, which continue to inspire
condence. Of the ~Rs. 24 bn corporate slippage (Rs. 29 bn in Q2FY19), Rs. 13.0 bn
were due to impact of exchange rate movement. The quaer also held a positive
surprise on ~Rs. 18 bn of a steel account upgrade from the bank’s stress list. Fuher
the bank’s exposure to IL&FS is limited at ~Rs. 9.0 bn. We expect credit costs to be
at 3.1%/0.9% in FY19E/FY20E.
Valuation and Risks: We maintain “BUY” on the stock with target price at
Rs. 440 valuing subsidiaries at Rs. 101 per share and core banking book at 2.3x
FY20E P/B.

Eight Decades of Leading the Change
Robust order book, traction in infrastructure segment: L&T’s outstanding
order book at the end of Sep 2018 stood at Rs. 2812 Bn (9% growth Vs H1FY18)
from diversied sectors while the order inow for Q2FY19 stood at Rs. 419
Bn (46% growth Vs Q2FY18). Order inow is mainly due to strong tendering
activity in domestic market. Although the private sector investment remains
subdued, public sector continues to drive the order inow. Infrastructure
segment constitutes for 77.6% of the order book and 54.8% of its new order
inow during Q2FY19. Current outstanding order book is dominated by
domestic orders with 78% contribution followed by Middle East with 13%.
Financial peormance: Robust order book reects its proven leadership in the
infrastructure & engineering segments and gives revenue visibility. While the
consensus estimates a slowdown in ordering activity due to the scheduled
general elections, they remain optimistic about the execution momentum.
Consensus estimates revenue CAGR of 14% & earnings CAGR of 18% during
FY18-20E along with a healthy EBITDA margin of ~12% by FY20E.
Five-year strategic plan ‘Lakshya’ in place: LT has put in place its ve-year
strategic plan “Lakshya’, which focuses on doubling sales to Rs. 2 tn by
FY21, improving margins (ex-services) from 10% in FY16 to 11.2% in FY21,
value unlocking either by listing the asset or by divesting non-core assets,
improving RoE’s from 12% in FY16 to 18% in FY21 and bringing down working
capital from 24% in FY16 to 18% by FY21. Successful implementation of the
strategic plan should ensure healthy operational growth for LT.
Buyback: L&T announced a share buyback of up to 6 crore equity shares at a
maximum price of Rs.1500/ share for aggregate amount of Rs. 9000 crore.
Metro: Entire corridor 1 of the Hyderabad metro became operational and the
company is planning to open another stage of the metro in FY19, taking the
total operations to 56 km.
Valuation and Risks: L&T’s diversied exposure to various sectors/
geographies coupled with its excellent execution capabilities
across sectors and its balance sheet strength compared to other
peers in the sector has resulted in strong order book build up.
The consensus values the company at 23.5x for a target price of
Rs. 1700, representing an upside potential of 18%. Delay in capex cycle
recovery & order execution may pose threat to the call.

Impressive Peormance
Oil and Natural Gas Corporation in FY18 recorded standalone revenue of
Rs. 850041 Mn, up 9% over FY17 on the back of impressive production and
sales peormances. Crude oil production on standalone basis increased to
22.31 MMT recording aish growth of 0.3%. Natural gas production rose to
23.48 BCM registering an impressive growth of 6%. Domestic hydrocarbon
volumes at 50.05 MMtoe registered 3% growth. Production of value added
products at 3.39 MMT increased 4.6% over FY17. The company realized $
7.33/barrel for crude oil sold in domestic market.
Beer Business Synergy: The acquisition of majority stake (51.11%) in
Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited provides synergy in terms of
low crude procurement cost for both HPCL and Mangalore renery &
Petrochemicals Limited (71.63% owned by ONGC and 16.96% by HPCL). In
event of decline in crude oil price, ONGC upstream margin could be oset
by an increase in rening margin of HPCL. Thus, acquisitions of these entities
help protect margins of each other thereby neutralizing erratic movements
in crude price.
Upcoming Gas Projects: The company completed 17 projects during last 4
years contributing over 6 MMtoe of oil & gas supplies. Ramp-up in gas output
is expected from key projects such as KG-DWN-98/2, Daman and Vashishta
elds whereas Western Oshore redevelopment projects will add to oil
production.
Transparent Pricing: ONGC’s crude subsidy burden has signicantly eased
following downstream sector reforms. Domestic gas price is now linked
to prices in international hubs (US Henry Hub, UK NBP, Albea and Russia),
which is revised every 6 months. We believe, ONGC will continue to benet
from benign subsidy environment and its net realization will now closely track
oil price.
Valuation and Risks: Synergies in ONGC’s upstream and downstream
business with the acquisitions of HPCL and MRPL will prove to be value
unlocking and ensure not only retention of margin but also enhancement of
the same for the company. Consensus valuation for the company is PE 8.2x
of FY20E EPS for the target price of Rs. 210 with upside potential of 39%.

production. Of this 75% of crude oil produced is Light & Sweet.
ONGC: Technical View
ONGC has bounced well aer nding suppo around 134 levels. The immediate trend in the stock
reects lower lows and lower highs on daily chas. Prior to that, the stock has seen sharp fall from
its swing high of 212.85 levels which has dragged the stock to the low of 134.75 levels. The fall in the
stock has placed the stock below all its major moving averages and trading well below the same.
The recent bounce in the stock from the suppo of 134 levels and sustainability above this level will
be a fresh trigger for the stock which indicates near term boom in the stock is placed and stock
is expected to resume its up move in medium term. The historical price action in the stock also
reects that any meaningful dip in the stock may aract market paicipants which will help the
stock resume its upward movement. On technical setup, the 14 period RSI is pointing nohwards
indicates strength in the stock. The immediate suppo is placed around 134 levels and below that
is 120 levels. Whereas, the resistance is placed around 165 levels and above that at 185 levels.

SBI: On the Road to Recovery
Improvement in protability: SBI repoed positive earnings for Q2FY19.
SBI repoed PAT of Rs. 9.4 bn aer three consecutive quaers of losses
on back of Rs. 15.6 bn gains from stake sale in SBI General Insurance and
merchant acquiring business. Domestic NIM increased 29 bps YoY to 2.88%
in Q2FY19. Global NIMs expanded to 2.73% in this quaer. On sequential
basis, net advances increased to 8.5%. Deposits growth came at 7% YoY
at Rs. 28.07 lakh cr, increased by 2.2% sequentially. NII grew 12.5% YoY to
Rs. 20906 cr led by loan growth.
Reduction in slippages: The GNPAs improved as it got lowered 74 bps
sequentially to 9.95%. i.e. it lowered approx. 3.3% QoQ to approx. Rs 2.06 tn.
This downtrend is likely to continue. This GNPA was due to lower slippages
(Rs. 109 bn), even though there was a sharp drop in overall reductions
(Rs. 178 bn, down by ~28%). Across segments, slippages were lower but
SME slippages doubled QoQ (Rs. 38.3 bn) despite the bank availing the
RBI dispensation of Rs 5.1 bn. Corporate slippages lowered quarterly to
Rs. 31.9 bn (-14% QoQ) incl. slippages of ~Rs. 23.9 bn from the watch list.
Growth in various nancial vectors: Management commented that advance
growth will be at 10% YoY in FY19E. NIM may reach to 3% as per management’s
comment. Domestic credit growth was at 11% YoY. Retail credit increased by
14.3% YoY to Rs. 5.79 lakh crores in Q2FY19. Home loans grew by 14.26% YoY
to Rs. 3.14 lakh crore. Advances to large corporates increased by 14% YoY to
Rs. 7.45 lakh crore.
Valuation and Risks: SBI with its focus on reducing NPAs and fresh slippages
augur well in the long term. We value the stock at 1.3x FY20 BVPS with a “BUY”
rating for a target price of Rs. 347. Risks are IL&FS exposure and slippages
outside the watch list.

SBIN: Technical View
SBIN has gained more than 11% during the third quaer of 2019 Financial Year and is one of the
stocks in Bank Niy index which has gained for the month of December 2018. The stock is currently
trading well above its all major moving averages like 50, 100, and 200 days moving averages. Even
on the weekly chas also, the stock is trading well above its all major moving averages, conrming
the uptrend. However, on a broader trend, the stock is stuck in the range of 245-325 levels over
last few quaers. The overall cha structure of the stock indicates that though the stock is stuck
in the broader range, the volumes, momentum and magnitude suggest the bulls are having strong
grip on the counter. The stock has good suppo around Rs. 255-250 levels below which the next
levels of meaningful suppo lie around Rs. 230-225 levels. As far as the technical setup of the
stock is concerned, the ADX is clearly indicating that the stock is gaining strength of its current up
move and a similar picture is being painted by the RSI which is trading around 57 on weekly chas.
Investors with a medium term horizon can sta accumulating the stock in bits and pas with a
provision to add more on dips towards 250 levels and may hold with a stop loss placed below Rs.
230 on a closing basis for potential upside technical targets of Rs. 330-350 in the next few quaers.

To Overcome Near Term Challenges
Despite the near term pressure on margins due to slowdown in luxury
car demand, we think that the management’s focus on improving core
protability will help recover from the stress. Also, new vehicle launches lined
up during the next 2 years including that of the EV plaorm is expected to
drive volume growth. Increased focus on the LCV and utility vehicle segment
has led TTMT’s domestic market share to improve considerably during
YTDFY19. Though we are not worried about the domestic business but for the
irregularities in the JLR business. We expect JLR business to get streamlined
during FY20E.
JLR business to revive on the back of new launches:
JLR’s business was
impacted by lower volume due to disruption in the Chinese market while other
markets such as UK and Europe have done fairly beer. Inventory destocking and
higher discounts led to a decline in the overall protability. However, new models in
the hybrid segment are expected to be launched under the JLR cap which we think
will be helpful in reviving demand.
Cost measures to ll the protability gap:
The company has evaluated several
measures to maintain operating costs at lower levels where the entire business
will be restructured to achieve higher operating margin. Some of the parameters
include modular architecture, procurement, in-house engineering to simulate
product design changes and overall business consolidation.
Valuation and Risks: Aer the recent correction in the stock, we
think that TTMT is available at cheap valuation. We expect steady
recovery in the JLR business and think that cost reduction measures
being taken will work in favour of the company. TATA Motors is valued
on SOTP basis based on consensus estimates for a target price of
Rs. 259 having an upside of 51%. However, unceainties in the JLR business
continue to be the downside risk to our call.

TATAMOTORS: Technical View
TATAMOTORS is in secular downtrend and is in the cycle of making lower tops and lower booms
from the highs of 598.40 levels and is currently trading in a truncated trading zone of 160-180
levels. The stock is placed below all its major moving averages on daily cha. However at current
juncture, the stock is trading in a narrow range having immediate suppo placed around 150-154
levels, which is also the multiple suppo for the counter on weekly cha followed by its multiyear
suppo of 135-140 levels sustaining which the stock is expected to surge higher close to its
immediate resistance of the unlled gap placed around 205-208 levels. As far as the technical
setup of the stock is concerned, the ADX is clearly indicating that the stock is gaining strength
at current scenario and the bulls are trying to ght hard against the bears. Even the weekly RSI
depicts the same kind of view as it is placed near to the oversold region suggesting the stock to
be boomed out soon and a reversal in the trend can be witnessed. Tata Motors being one of the
underpeormers from the auto sector in the FY18 is expected to peorm in FY19. Hence, investors
with medium to long tern time horizon can sta accumulating the stock in small quantities on every
dip towards the immediate suppo zone for the potential upside of 205-208 levels, breaching
which the stock might surge fuher towards 225-230 levels.

Traction in Latin American Business has kept Growth
Stable
Growth in India and LATAM jointly contribute to ~66% of total sales. Products
like Sweep Power, Avancer Glow and Delma received encouraging response
from the farmers in India Business, despite erratic business. H2FY19 is
expected to be encouraging with higher reservoir levels than last year.
Except for Argentina, LATAM growth has remained healthy for the recent
quaer at 25.8% YoY. The inventory position in LATAM is below normal with
healthy order book, coupled with the benets accruing from the US-China
trade war. UPL posted stable volume growth of 8% YoY for Q2FY19, driven by
robust peormance across India, LATAM and Africa. Beer realization and
favourable currency movement resulted in a 14% YoY growth in net revenue
to Rs 42.5 bn. Management has re-iterated its revenue growth guidance for
FY19E at 10-12%. UPL is well-positioned to post stronger growth in 2HFY19,
driven by beer farmer sentiments following the recent MSP hike (which
would increase agri spends by farmers),pick-up in demand amid beer
monsoon and healthy peormance of the new and existing product pofolio
in key crops like Coon, Soybean and Sugar beet.
Positive Synergies from UPL-Arysta Life Sciences Acquisition continue: The
acquisition will enhance UPL’s position as a global leader in the agricultural
solutions. Through this, it intends to nd market oppounities in emerging
markets like Asia, Latin America and Europe. The consolidation in the industry
is driven towards giving crop solutions to farmers. UPL has been investing
in the same from the last few years to improve their ability to ght climate
change. Globally, Arysta is 4th in seed treatment while being 7th/8th in seed
treatment solutions. Arysta also has an alliance with Japanese manufacturers
who have access to several patented and new molecules which would bring
in new value to UPL. Strong backward integration, consolidation in the
agrochemical space with a boost to geographical/ segment/ product mix
would give strong traction to the business and aid protability.
Valuation and Risks: Factoring in strong backward integration, consolidation
in the agrochemical space with a boost to geographical/ segment/ product
mix and strong traction in LATAM business, at CMP Rs. 758, as per consensus
estimates, we recommend ‘BUY’ for a target of Rs. 1004 valuing at 5 year average
historical PE of 16x on FY21E EPS representing an upside potential of 32%.

UPL: Technical View
UPL stock price clocked an all time high of 902.50 in the sta of Aug’17, post which it entered into
a correction mode, and continued to dri lower till July 18, almost a year long price correction,
wherein prices retraced its key Golden Fibonacci Ratio by placing a swing low of 537, post which
it witnessed gradual recovery towards 790 levels in last couple of months. Technically, prices
managed to recover from the lows and formed higher-high and higher low in the recent recovery,
also prices moved above its major 200-DEMA (706) and from last two months it is sustaining
above that, also it is holding above its 21 & 50-DEMA which is currently placed near 753 & 733 levels
respectively. On the weekly momentum setup, 14-pd RSI aer testing oversold territory, moved
back in bullish territory, and it is also reected on daily time frame cha where indicator managed
to oat above 40-levels from last many sessions, regaining underlying strength in the counter.
Going forward, stock has impoant suppo near 700-710 levels, followed by 580-600 levels. On
the higher side, stock is likely to nd immediate resistance near 800-830 levels followed by 890-
910 moving above which stock will enter into an unchaed territory towards 960-990 mark.

Bloomberg Code: YES IN
YES BANK LTD
Odds In favour of Yes
The bank’s Q2FY19 peormance disappointed on asset quality
notwithstanding the healthy business momentum. The slippages were much
higher than anticipated neveheless the miss was led by concentrated
exposure and the bank continues to see good possibility of recovery.
Additional disclosure on asset quality peaining to lower SMA2 accounts
(> Rs. 50 mln at 0.15%) and no exposure to IL&FS at the parent level should
somewhat balance out the negative on slippages. Business momentum remained
healthy with advances led by across the segments. NIMs surprised on the positive
and held stable notwithstanding high consumption. The outpeormance on NIMs
vis-a-vis retail peers could be explained by much higher propoion of variable book
and quite less pressure on retail book. The bank has lowered its branch expansion
targets neveheless we see past investments sucing to maintain the granular
momentum in the medium term. Factoring in higher treasury losses, lower loan
growth and a similar peormance on divergences as it was last year, we estimate
ROEs to be at ~16%/18% in FY19E/FY20E.
Outpeormance on margins:
The NIMs were stable QoQ at 3.3% notwithstanding
high capital consumption as against our expectation of a sequential decline. We
believe the outpeormance as against the retail peers is led by higher propoion
of variable book and less competitive pressure on retail book.
Loan growth remains strong: We expect loan growth to remain healthy
(~20/25%) not withstanding capital and transition issue. The loan growth for
the quaer was quite strong at 12%/61% QoQ/ YoY. The same was led by the
business banking, 9.5%/57% QoQ/ YoY and corporate banking, 12.6%/63%
QoQ/ YoY. Within the business banking the most granular of the segment,
Retail Banking, continues to show the strongest momentum at 14%/102%
QoQ/ YoY. We expect some pressure on growth because of constrained
capital to be led by corporate banking leading to a positive shi in the loan
book mix towards business banking. We estimate loan growth at 25%/21%
FY19E/FY20E.
Valuation and Risks: We rate “BUY” on the stock with a Target Price of Rs.
410 valuing the stock at 2.67x FY20E P/B. We believe that unceainties about
its top management and asset-quality issues will remain a cloud on the stock
price in the near term.

interest margins, stable protability, healthy capitalization have made it one of the top ve private sector
banks in India. It has steadily built a Corporate, Retail & SME banking franchise, with a comprehensive

activities, such as third pay product distribution and merchant banking among others. Yes bank has
adopted knowledge driven approach to oer nancial solutions, which go beyond the traditional realm
of banking.
YESBANK: Technical View
YESBANK witnessed a huge correction from the higher levels of 404 towards 146 levels within a
sho time frame of around 4 months. The stock is trading far from the major moving averages and
is trading near the major suppo area of 150-160 levels and formed a good base around the same
levels from past few weeks. The stock has been in the sideways consolidation mode from past few
weeks and witnessed reasonable volumes indicating strong hands have staed accumulating the
stock at current levels aer the recent correction. At the current juncture, the stock is indicating a
bullish divergence as seen with its momentum indicators and is looking bullish. The stock is poised
to surge higher towards 280 plus levels with 14 days RSI ploing comfoably around 45-50 levels
suggesting positivity in the counter. On the shoer time frame, the stock will enter into bullish
trajectory once the price breached its immediate resistance level of 195 followed by 205 levels. On
the ip side, the next best suppo for the counter is placed around 145-150 which may be utilized
as a good accumulating oppounity for the long-term period. On the overall front, we expect
the stock to gradually move nohwards in the next few months and may continue to trade with
positive bias. Long-term investors may buy the stock at current levels and accumulate more if the
stock dips towards the suppo zones.
