Investment Rationale

Sona Koyo Steering System Ltd. (SKSSL) is the largest manufacturer of steering gears in India with market share of over 50 percent. The company at present has three manufacturing facilities at Chennai, Nashik and Gurgaon with combined capacity of over 1.5 million units. The company intends to double the capacity through greenfield plants at Singur, Uttaranchal and Bawal in Haryana over next 3-4 years. The company derived nearly 53 percent of revenue from Maruti Suzuki India Ltd and top 6 clients contribute nearly 90 percent of top line. The company has reported 17.8 percent growth in net sales to Rs683.60 crore in FY08 whereas the net sales for Q4FY08 registered a growth of 10 percent to Rs194.30 crore. The full year EPS of the company declined by 12.7%. This was partly on the back of rising input cost and partly due to equity dilution. However the company is expected to pass on the rise in input cost to its customers and also obtain better pricing from its vendors in the coming time.

The company has formed a (49:51) JV with JTEKT of Japan to serve the steering system requirement for small cars up 1500 CC segments. The proposed JV would be focused to the clients like Tata Motors, Toyota and Nissan etc. The company would be investing Rs160 crore for greenfield facility at Bawal in Haryana, the proposed JV is expected to contribute approx Rs320 crore in the topline from FY11 onwards.

22nd April 2008 Market Outlook By Angel Broking  

Dealer’s Diary

The Indian stock market advanced for fifth straight day mirroring gains in global counterparts to post decent rise, shrugging off a steep 50bp hike in CRR announced by the RBI. Both the benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, ended with a gain of 1.6%. The BSE Midcap and BSE Smallcap were the show stealers as they outperformed the benchmark indices gaining 2.2% and 2.6% respectively. Metal shares staged a strong comeback after the recent correction. Banking shares rose taking the hike in CRR in their stride. However, IT pivotals retracted from day’s high hit in early trade on profit booking. Among the frontliners, Bharti Airtel, Ranbaxy, REL Com, Jaiprakash Associates and Tata Steel gained 4-8.5%, while TCS, ITC, Wipro, Infosys and Satyam lost ground by 1-2%. In the mid-cap segment, Mercator Lines, Biocon, Adhunik Metal, Praj Industries and Dsh TV gained 11.5-17%, whereas Mindtree, Infotech Enterprise, Onmobile, TV 18 and Orchid Chem lost 4-11%.

Markets Today

The trend deciding leve l for the day is 4944 / 16483 .NIFTY trades above this level during the first half-an-hour of trade then we may witness a further rally upto 4999 / 16569 . However, if NIFTY trades below 4944 / 16483 for the first half-an-hour of trade then it may correct upto 4904 - 4849 /16395 – 16310. Read More.

Sun TV Network Ltd - KRC Stock Recommendation  

 

Sun TV Network Ltd

Initiating Coverage

 

Key Data

CMP Rs 296.60

Date April 21st 2008

Sector Media & Entertainment

Face Value Rs.5

BSE Code 532733

52 Week H/L Rs 1779/ 260

Market Cap Rs 11783 Cr

 

Investment Rationale

 

Sun TV follows a unique business model with regards to sourcing content as compared to its competitors. Most of the content is sourced in house and for its outsourced content, it brings down the cost by selling advertisement time slots to its content providers instead of buying the content outright. This helps the company follow a low cost content sourcing model and helps it maintain high operating margins. Sun TV sources close to 75% of its content requirement in house – 40-45% is movie based, 8-10% is news and the rest is game shows, talk shows and variety shows. Movie and movie related content generates high viewer ship in South India. The Sun Network has acquired around 80% of the movies which are released in southern India. It has a library of 8,000 movie titles and holds perpetual rights for close to 95% of its movies. Sun TV Network has presence across genres like general entertainment, movies, music, and news, except in Kerala, where it offers only general entertainment and movies. We believe that a bouquet of offerings spanning the above genres adds to viewer stickiness. The company has added a new channel, Chutti TV, positioned as the first Tamil kids channel. Chutti TV has been a big hit – its TRP ratings (4.75%) are higher than some of the Tamil GECs.

Market Activity: Share indices rose nearly 2% as firm cues from overseas markets helped investors shrug off Thursday’s 50-basis-point hike in banks’ cash reserve ratio. 

At 10.15AM, Sensex was at 16765.49, up 284.29 points or 1.7%. Nifty was at 5043.90, up 85.85 points or 1.7%. 

All Sensex and Nifty shares rose.  Interest rate sensitive sectors such as banking, realty and auto were resilient to the CRR hike. Housing Development Finance Corp gained 4%, while DLF was up 2%. Technology shares extended gained after Wipro and Satyam Computer Services‘ Jan-Mar earnings. Wipro was up 4% and Tata Consultancy Services gained 3%. Satyam Computer was up over 1%. Titagarh Wagons listed at its issue price of Rs 540 on NSE. The stock was trading at Rs 69.

In the mid trading session, indices were up over 1% but off the 2% high made earlier in the session on some profit taking. At 1.15PM, Sensex was at 16676.62, up 195.42 points, or 1.2%. Nifty was at 5024.45, up 65.80 points, or 1.3%. Firm trend in Asian markets and optimism ahead of Reliance Industries’ Jan-Mar earnings helped sentiment here. However, most key European markets opened slightly weak, with the exception of FTSE 100 that was trading up 0.3%. Shares of metal and capital goods companies were top gainers on Nifty. Tata Steel was up 5.5% and Larsen & Toubro gained over 2%, while ABB was up 1%. Technology shares retreated as the rupee rose against the dollar. Satyam Computer Services and Infosys Technologies fell 1% each. Zee Entertainment Enterprises, down 2.5%, and GAIL, down 1%, were other major Nifty laggards.   

Share indices ended nearly 2% up in line with other key Asian markets, with Nifty ending above 5000 for the first time since the Union Budget on Feb 29. Market did not react to the 50-basis-point hike in banks’ cash reserve ratio as it was factored into share prices. Sensex ended at 16739.33, up 258.13 points. Nifty ended at 5037.00, up 78.60 points. Capital goods and bank shares were top gainers on Nifty. ABB ended up 5% and HDFC Bank was up 4%. Zee Entertainment Enterprises down 4%, and Satyam Computer Services down 2%, were the worst hit on Nifty.
