Nomura has raised its target price to Rs 525. Analysts view the current price level as an excellent entry point for a long-term secular growth story. Nomura has reduced its FY13 sales growth rate estimate from 11.1 per cent to 7.1 per cent on the back of Q3 results and expected moderation in realisation growth. Analysts incorporate a slowdown in the consumer sentiment in their FY12-FY13 estimates but expect growth to rebound in FY14. While Nomura has also reduced their margin assumptions for FY12, they have increase their FY13 Ebitda margin estimate by 220 basis points to factor in the fall in raw material price along with the closure of unprofitable businesses like Manzoni. Maintain Buy.

This BOT project in Himachal Pradesh would be executed on a DBFOT basis under Phase-III. The project is on a toll basis, with a concession period of 28 years and construction period of three years. Further, NHAI would provide a grant of Rs 134.6 crore to ITNL. This is positive for the company, as ITNL had not won any project in FY12 owing to the aggressive bidding witnessed in the road sector. Considering the sharp run-up in the share price (39 per cent in one month), analysts recommend accumulate on the stock. Accumulate.
