MARKET COMMENT:: Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services

"Amidst stable global cues, Indian benchmark indices also ended with a positive bias. The FMCG index which was the top gainer yesterday was the worst performer in today's trade.  Nifty remains in a range and seems to be awaiting further cues for a breakout on either side. The close today means the uptrend remains, but upsides seem to be capped."

BROKERAGE VIEW:: Centrum Broking on India Cements

Weak operating efficiencies, pricing pressure in key markets and higher interest burden will keep earnings for ICEM under pressure. Capacity addition put on hold will only respite the balance sheet from further stress. Weighing the pressure on margins and balance sheet we have assigned a higher discount of 50% to the replacement cost (Rs7.5bn/mt) to arrive at ICEM’s fair value of Rs69 (earlier Rs55). At our TP, the stock trades at an EV/EBITDA of 7.0x which is near its mean valuation. We retain our ‘Sell’ rating on the stock. The recent rally in the stock price is due to the investor action as Mr. R K Damani has hiked stake in ICEM to 20% from 5% earlier. We believe this will continue to keep the divergence in our target price (based on weak fundamentals) and the market prices. The stock price will converge with fundamentals in the medium term.
