DB Corp

Fundamental View

DB Corp is the largest print media company with an added presence in radio and digital media. Its revenue consisted of printing & publishing (91%), Radio (6%) and Others (3%) in FY17. The company enjoys leadership position in radio listenership in cities of Rajasthan, MP and Chhattisgarh.  We expect revenue CAGR of 7.5% over FY17-19E on account of traction in local print media and increase in circulation revenue backed by increasing copies in existing markets and launch of new edition in Surat in Q1FY18E. Additionally, company's foray into radio business is seeing good traction.  Its acquisition of 13 stations to further augment the radio revenue albeit on a small base. Due to better realizations, we expect EBITDA CAGR of 8.3% over FY17-19E. Consequently, PAT would register CAGR of 11.6% over FY17-19E.

Texmaco Rail

Fundamental View

Texmaco’s acquisitions, Kalindee Rail Nirman (track work and signaling) and Bright Power Projects (railway electrification) have positioned it as a ‘Total Rail Solutions’ company. The company now operates in three segments - Heavy Engineering (wagons/freight cars), Steel Foundry and Rail EPC, contributing ~ 49%, 15.9% and 35.4% respectively to FY17 sales. We expect finalization of tender for 9,500 wagons by Indian Railway may help strengthen its wagon division order book. The RAIL EPC division’s sales and profitability is improving on back of completion of legacy contracts. Further, speedy electrification and completion of Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) projects will be positive for the company. The company’s foray into international markets - South East Asia, West Asia, Middle East Asia and Africa are likely to aid future growth in all the segments. Thus, we project revenue CAGR of 20% over FY17-19E. The present order book is ~Rs3,800cr (2.8xFY17 sales) providing strong sales visibility. We expect incremental sales to result in EBITDA margin expansion by 490bps by FY19E. PAT is expected to grow (led by improving operating performance and decline in interest) at 83% over the same period.

Ingersoll- Rand Ltd

Fundamental View

Ingersoll Rand (IRIL) manufactures and sells air compressors, which include reciprocating compressors, centrifugal compressors and system components. IRIL enjoys strong market positioning in domestic compressors market. We believe that pick up in user industries (automotive, metals, pharmaceuticals and textile) along with introduction of new products and development of Naroda as an export base for large reciprocating compressor packages and parts is likely to drive future sales. Thus, we see revenue CAGR of 12.5% over FY17-19E. Indigenization of most of its products and high realization from new products is likely to help the company maintain EBITDA margin despite pricing pressure. Hence, we project PAT CAGR of 12.5% over FY17-19E. The company’s debt free status and unencumbered promoter holding of 74% adds further stability.

Cera Sanitaryware

Cera Sanitaryware is a pioneer in the sanitaryware segment in India. It is the third largest player in the organised sanitaryware business with market share of ~23%. It generates revenue from sanitaryware (~62%), faucets (~21%) and tiles (~17%) business. We see revenue CAGR of 23% over FY17-19E as company’s tie-up with Italian luxury brand ISEVA will help company to tap premium sanitaryware market. New innovative launches in faucet segment as well as commissioning of tiles plant in south, where presence of organised players is limited will also boost the revenues. Further, the replacement demand in India forms only 10-15% of total demand, whereas worldwide it contributes around 75-80%. Hence, with rising standard of living, the replacement demand for sanitary ware and faucet is expected to witness northward movement. Consequently, we expect ~23% CAGR in revenue over FY17-19E. The entry into premium segment, GST implementation and improving operating performance would drive PAT at ~27% CAGR over FY17-19E.

Year	Net Sales (Rs Cr)	OPM (%)	Net Profit (Rs Cr)	EPS (Rs)	PE (x)	P/BV (x)
FY17	1,006	17.0%	99	76.2	49.6	9.4

Reliance Industries Ltd

Fundamental View

Reliance Industries (RIL) is one of the largest private sector enterprises in India. RIL is a vertically integrated company with business interests in energy and materials value chain. Its revenue in FY17 comprised of refining business (64%), petrochemical business (24%) and others (12%). The company has rapidly grown its broadband business (4G) through RJio owing to strong operating competitiveness and healthy consumer traction. We estimate revenue CAGR of 18.2% over FY17-19E on account of expansion of RJio and strong refining margin outlook.  Jio’s RMS (revenue market share) is expected to be ~30% over next few years. Company’s margins are expected to remain robust due to firm demand and improving utilization in polyester segment. Refinery off-gas cracker (ROGC) has been commissioned and will be ramped up to full utilization by FY18E. In addition, company has commissioned 4 of its 10 petcoke gasifiers, which will ramp up over FY18-19E. Our outlook on refining remains strong with growth in petro-product demand outpacing supply additions. This should keep RIL’s GRM (Gross Refining Margin) in the US$11-11.5/bbl range. Consequently, we expect PAT CAGR of 12.2% over FY17-19E.

Year	Net Sales (Rs Cr)	OPM (%)	Net Profit (Rs Cr)	EPS (Rs)	PE (x)	P/BV (x)
FY17	305,400	15.1%	29,800	50.3	18.6	2.1
