MARKET COMMENT Rushabh Maru - Research Analyst , Anand Rathi Share on rupee

Emerging market currencies have declined sharply as Turkish lira has fallen to all time low level after US president Donald Trump imposed sanctions and tariffs on Turkey. The crisis is unlikely to resolve anytime soon. An absence of aggressive intervention by the RBI has also hurt the rupee.

Market is nervous ahead of India’s CPI data due later today. The dollar has strengthened to multi-month high on expectations of aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve in coming months as the US economy is experiencing strong growth momentum. Hence, due to all these factors, the rupee has declined to all time low level today

MARKET COMMENT Rabobank International on developments in Turkey

Turkey is almost certain to need a bail-out ahead: the key issue is, in which currency? If it is via the IMF it will be in USD, as usual, and with all the usual strings attached: austerity, privatisation, reforms, and pro-US foreign policy.

If it is from ‘new friends’ Russia or China, things will look very different. Loans would be in RUB or CNY, and would be a huge step towards de-dollarization and Turkey’s financial, economic, political, and yes, military reorientation eastwards. That is Great Power and Great Currency hand in hand - and Turkey is neither

KR Choksey Institutional Equities on Suzlon

The prolonged timeline for settling grime has impacted Suzlon’s financial performance since last few quarters. We believe commissioning can ramp up post Q3FY19 and hence one can expect FY19 to be washout year as FY18.

On the other side, it is expected that SECI VI will open in Aug’18 and Suzlon historically garnered 25% market share in terms of overall order wins. Thus, this improves order backlog visibility in the coming period. Apart from this, the company is already into advance negotiation with few IPPs for 20% of the earlier 7.5GW auctioned orders; any positive surprise can augur well for the company going ahead.
 
We have lowered FY19E estimates, while maintained FY20E estimates. We valued the company on SOTP basis and arrived a target price of Rs 15.8, upside potential of 119%. We retain BUY rating on the stock.

Anand Rathi on Hinduja Global

In line with estimates, HGS’ Q1 revenue was $165m (down 2% q/q, up 6% y/y, adj for acquisition) but the 6.6% margin (down q/q, 416bps y/y) disappointed. The acquired entities saw a sharper decline in revenue ($17m/qtr disclosed on acquisition but the current rate is only $12m).

Consequently, EBITDA loss in the acquired entity was $3.6m, adjusting for which HGS had 9.5% EBITDA margins. Recovery will be slow and contingent on revenues scaling up. We cut our FY19e and FY20e ~15-16%, leading to a revised target of Rs 990 (9x FY20 EPS)

Investec Securities on Sun TV

Sun reported strong 1Q rev growth of 42% yoy and EBIT growth of 70% yoy, beat on consensus, led by IPL franchise (Rs2.2bn EBIT vs our expectation of Rs1bn). Core broadcast BU weak with 14% rev growth and flat EBIT (margin declined 690bps) – all the cost lines were elevated, especially film costs (D&A expenses up 42% yoy). The company noted one-off costs of Rs0.5bn related to its 25th anniversary.

To us, the deal-breaker (or maker) remains declining shares across key markets (Tamil/Telugu). Factoring in IPL gains in FY19E and beyond, we increase estimates 2-3%; new target price Rs880 (Rs870 earlier)

Emkay on Aurobindo Pharma

Q1FY19 was marred by write-offs relating to shelf stock adjustment, which is largely non-recurring in nature. Adjusted for the same, numbers are strong, especially given the current challenging business environment.  Return ratios for ARBP are the highest among its comparable peers. We maintain BUY rating with a Target Price (TP) of Rs690, valuing it at 15x on FY20E EPS of Rs46
