KEC INTERNATIONAL
Reco Price: Rs 494,
Target Price: Rs 572
KEC’s management highlighted that the key reason for the $95m acquisition of SAE Towers is the immediate access to the large and potentially high-growth transmission tower market in the Americas.

Though at a CY09 EV/Ebitda of 9.6 times, the acquisition seems expensive (KEC is trading at 8.5 times 2009-10 EV/Ebitda), it still is EPS accretive given that KEC plans to fund the acquisition through low cost ECBs and internal accruals. Expect a 14 per cent revenue growth and EBITDA margin of 10 per cent over 2010-11, resulting in about 3 per cent EPS accretion in 2010-11. Maintain add.
