Kotak Securities on Engineers India

 

EIL management expects pickup in domestic order flows in 2HFY18-19 mainly driven by 1/ pick up in brownfield expansion of various small (sub 3mmtpa) refineries in India, 2/ integration of refineries with petrochemical units 3) awarding of Greenfield orders mainly Barmer Rajasthan and West Coast refinery and 4) other initiatives such as pipeline expansion by Gail and investment in strategic storage facilities by OMCs. 

  

We reiterate our long term positive view on EIL; expect significant improvement in FY19 earnings driven by uptick in execution and margin expansion on back of operating leverage. We value EIL at PER 25x FY19 core earnings and maintain BUY rating with unchanged target price of Rs 182.

Nirmal Bang on Natco Pharma

 

We expect Copaxone generic approval to provide Natco Pharma (NPL) a strong foundation for base earnings over the next four to five years after which Revlimid generic opportunity will kick in and help build over this base. In the near term, the extraordinary cash flow on account of limited competition nature of the opportunity will strengthen its balance sheet for executing growth plan on a rising earning base. We see the risk-reward profile as positive. Mylan has announced that they might get 180 days exclusivity. However if the same is not granted, the launch timeline can get delayed up to FY19.

 

After this approval, we have incorporated Copaxone generic sales in our estimate, which we had earlier excluded from our core business estimate and valued it separately. We have also revised our target price on NPL to Rs1,102 (from Rs940 earlier), rolling over our target EPS from March FY19 to September FY19. We have assigned a target P/E multiple of 20x based on FY20 earnings. We have lowered our target valuation multiple from 22x to 20x as we expect the growth rate to taper on a rising earning base. We have upgraded our rating to Buy (from Accumulate earlier).
