Analysts forecast diminishing revenue visibility from the high margin BOP business together with a low margin NTPC bulk order booking to drive a 460 basis points contraction in EBITDA margins over FY12-14. A committed investment in the JV amidst a bleak ordering outlook should see RoEs falling from 22 per cent in FY12 to 14 per cent in FY14. Analysts do not expect investment in the BTG JV to be value accretive for BGR and assign it a negative value. Analysts value BGR on a DCF methodology and arrive at a value of Rs 203 per share, implying 26 per cent downside from current levels. Initiate coverage with a Sell rating

CRISIL Research revises Everest Kanto fundamental grade to 2/5 from 3/5 due to (a) lower-than-expected demand for CNG cylinders in India because of limited gas availability, b) closure of the Iran market, c) under-utilised capacity d) stretched working capital, and e) liquidity issues on $35 million FCCB repayment due in October 2012. Return ratios are expected to remain muted in the short to medium term. However, the long-term prospects of CNG market are expected to be positive due to the product’s inherent advantage. CRISIL Research has lowered revenue estimates by 15 per cent to Rs 620 crore for FY13 and by nine per cent to Rs 710 crore for FY14. EPS is expected to be Rs 1.3 in FY14.
