{LONGTERMINVESTORS} The Market Xpress – Tata Global, KEI Industries, Lakshmi Machine Works Ltd


 

Dear All,

 

Decision making! Sept series struggling

 

Truly successful decision making relies on a balance between deliberate and instinctive thinking - Malcolm Gladwell

 

The September series seems to be in a bit of struggle ahead of the F&O expiry. Rollovers have so far been lower than average and Tuesday's fall from the top suggests that investors are finding it hard to make a decision. Crude tumbled on reports that Riyadh has rejected Saudi's offer to cut oil output. The outcome is awaited later in the day as OPEC members meet but most negatives are priced in. The World Trade Organisation has cut its forecast for growth by over 1 pc as it expects global trade to grow 1.7% this year compared with its 2.8% estimated earlier.

 

The outlook is a flat start. US indices ended higher while Asian markets are mixed. Technically, the Nifty is moving below the rising trendline. Stock-specific swings will be seen as F&O adjustments take place.

 

Express Idea

 

Tata Global: Brewing gains! - BUY

CMP Rs145, 3-mts Target Rs169, Upside 17%

 

Since September 2014, on several instances, the stock attempted to break past its downward sloping trendline which eventually led to a retracement on the downside. This week's breakout post the recent consolidation around the same supply trendline provides strong upside potential from current levels. We expect Tata Global to attempt the upper-end of the current gann channel (Rs169) in the medium term. Traders are advised to maintain stop loss of Rs133 on long positions.

 

Company Research

 

KEI Industries: All wired up – BUY

CMP Rs116, 12-mts Target Rs168, Upside 44.8%

 

KEI Industries has transformed itself into a comprehensive wires and cables manufacturer and has emerged as a major player in this segment over the last two years. Its portfolio spans house wire cables to extrahighvoltage cables (EHV) (up to 220kV). The company registered 27% volume growth in FY16, outperforming most of its peers. The institutional segment is set to witness a surge in demand as a consequence of growth in infrastructure and power T&D sector. The company's efforts to raise its retail sales by increased spend on brand building and expanding its reach would also boost overall volumes. EPC business with an order book of Rs.20bn, provides strong revenue visibility over the next three years. A combination of increased contribution from EHV and EPC segments and focus on retail sales would lead to 13.6% revenue CAGR for KEI. This combined with nominal increase in margins and lower interest costs would translate into an earnings CAGR of 37.4% over FY16-18E. With strong free cashflow, the company expects to repay its entire term debt in 34 years. Attractive valuations of 7.6x FY18E P/E makes the stock a compelling buy. We recommend a Buy with a target price of Rs.168.

 

Lakshmi Machine Works Ltd: Exports to lead – Not Rated

CMP Rs4,320

 

Lakshmi Machine Works (LMW) is the third largest player globally and accounts for 70% of domestic textile machinery market by volume and 60% by value. We interacted with the management of LMW to get an update on the textile machinery industry and the company's plan to increase its global presence. The management believes domestic market growth would remain tepid as customer utilisation levels are low at 50-55% and the government has amended its Technology Upgradation Fund (TUF) scheme towards weaving, processing and finishing of garments. In the export market, the management expects its share to increase on account of increased product portfolio and venturing into new geographies. The company has started exporting its full range of products against exports of ring frame only in the initial period. LMW's China subsidiary would turnaround in FY17 as it has increased local sourcing (70%) and imports only critical parts from India. Share of active orders of domestic order book of Rs24bn stood at 60%. The company is focusing on value addition to offset the impact of lower volume growth. Earnings growth would remain subdued due to slowdown in textile sector. At the CMP, the stock trades at 19x FY18E P/E, higher than its historical average of 16.2x.

 

 

Technical Track

 

For the first time since March 2016, Nifty fell below the rising support trend line. If confluence of gann support (8696-8710) and 50-DMA fails to provide any respite, current decline could be first meaningful decline since March 2016. In Tuesday's trade, Nifty slipped in the red following a gap up opening, indicating weakness in holding on to reversal in short term trend. 8689 which acted as previous bottom in second week of September will act as critical support line, if broken a decline towards 8594 is possible i.e. 360 degree on the downside from the peak of 8969.

Commodity & Currency Cues

 

Precious metals took a backseat, as the first US Presidential debate proved that Democratic Presidential candidate has an edge over her counterpart Donald Trump. Markets perceive Clinton as a status quo President, while Trump is regarded the most disruptive ever in US history. However, there are some market participants who still do not rule out the possibility of Trump making it to the White House. In such an event, volatility can exacerbate in the broader markets and in the process augment the safe haven appetite for the yellow metal.

 

In the non-ferrous pack, Nickel prices spearheaded the gains, underpinned by reports of Filipino government suspending 20 more mines. The tally for total shut mines is 30 and it accounts for 55% of Philippine nickel ore output.

 

Oil futures remain under pressure, as there are growing signals that nothing concrete will emerge out of the ongoing oil industry summit in Algeria.

 

Greenback regained lost ground after US Consumer Confidence index for September showed a strong increase. Nevertheless, British Pound continues to remain on the defensive, weighed down by looming threat of an imminent invocation of Article 50 (termination of EU membership).
