Strategy:
Markets – borderline show in a ‘striking’ month; FII flows pick up
Volatility extends into another month:
With no refuge from volatility, the Indian benchmark indices ended flat (-0.4% MoM) for the third consecutive month
in Feb’19. FIIs turned buyers – inflows at USD2.2b were the highest since Nov’17 (a decent number after accounting for KMB stake purchase by FIIs). However,
domestic inflows were muted at USD0.1b. With the markets erratically lurching both ways, investors turned to large-caps as a safe haven. In February, the Nifty
Midcap100 was down 1.1%, as against the Nifty’s decline of 0.4%. Currently, valuation premium of mid-caps versus large-caps stands at 10%.
Earnings season largely in line; domestic cyclicals led by financials stage a solid comeback:
The December corporate reporting season was in line with our
expectations for both Nifty and MOFSL Universe (earnings growth 6% and 2%, respectively). Domestic Cyclicals led by financials picked up the baton from Global
Cyclicals as the driver of earnings growth. Corporate Banks, IT and Consumer delivered a strong performance, while Autos and Cement disappointed. The top-line
growth for the MOFSL Universe and the Nifty was at a multi-quarter-high. However, this failed to translate into EBITDA growth. Notably, EBITDA margin shrank
300-320bp for the MOFSL and Nifty Universe, dragged by OMCs. Corporate Banks showed a material sequential improvement in slippage/asset quality trends.
Consequently, the share of Domestic Cyclicals (led by financials) in the profit pool increased to 39% – the highest since Jun’09. Our FY19/20 Nifty EPS estimates
have been cut by 2.8%/3.0% to INR496/INR629 (prior: INR510/INR648); nearly 81% of the earnings cut was driven by Tata Motors, SBI, HPCL and ONGC. We
expect Nifty EPS to grow 9% in FY19 and 27% in FY20.
Macros largely stable in Feb’19:
In Feb’19, the INR appreciated slightly from 71.08 to 70.74 and crude oil prices climbed up from USD61.89/barrel to
USD66.03/barrel. The 10-year G-sec yield, however, remained stable and now hover around 7.4% despite the repo rate cut by the RBI. Our recently published
proprietary
EAI index
for Jan’19 indicates a strong start to CY19. February’19 also saw heightened tensions at the India-Pakistan border, with the Indian Air Force
launching air strike across the border to take action against the terror camps. Markets got nervous given the rising geopolitical risks but soon stabilized as situation
de-escalated after a week. Politically, it has raised the approval ratings for Prime Minister Modi and could augur well for the incumbent party in the forthcoming
general elections. This, coupled with stable global markets, propelled mid-cap rally in the first week of March.
China top performer among global markets:
In February, China (+14%), Taiwan (+5%), the US (+3%), Japan (+3%), and the UK (+2%) were the key global markets
to close higher in local currency terms. On the other hand, India-Nifty was flat MoM. Over the last 12 months, the MSCI India (+1%) outperformed the MSCI EM (-
12%). The MSCI India’s P/E is at a premium of 97% to the MSCI EM’s P/E, above its historical average premium of 47%.
Sectoral trends for Feb’19 – Media, Cement, Autos and Telecom top performers:
Media (+18%), Cement (+6%), Autos (+2%), and Telecom (+2%) were the
outperformers in Feb’19. PSU Banks (-5%), Utilities (-3%), Consumer (-2%), Metals (-2%), Private Banks (-2%) were the top laggards. Zee Ent (+23%), Yes Bank
(+19%), Tech Mahindra (+14%), Bajaj Auto (+13%) and UPL (+11%) were the top performers on an MoM basis. Vedanta (-14%), SBI (-8%), Hindalco (-6%), M&M (-
5%) and HPCL (-4%) were the top laggards. In this edition of ‘Bulls & Bears,’ we take a deep dive into the valuation metrics of the NBFC sector.
Focus shifts to politics now:
Over the next three months, we expect the focus of market to shift toward politics. Rising popularity of Prime Minister Modi post the
air strikes does shift the narrative incrementally in favor of incumbent, in our view. Shape of the alliances of both the formations (NDA as well as UPA) will be a
crucial monitorable in March’19. Fundamentally, after tepid four years, earnings appear set for a recovery, especially led by Banking (with credit growth pick-up,
return of pricing power, moderation in fresh slippages and lower credit costs). This should drive profit and RoE recovery for Corporate Banks, which remains our
preferred bet. We maintain a positive view on Consumption, with the recent budget handouts reinforcing our view. Also, in an election year, we expect political
spending to act as a quasi-stimulus for consumption-oriented sectors. The correction in Autos does present an opportunity to increase exposure from a medium-
to long-term perspective, although the short-term prospects remain slightly uncertain. We like IT given the sustained healthy earnings growth and reasonable
valuations. The sharp moderation in valuations for mid-caps opens up the space for bottom-up opportunities.
Top ideas:
Large-cap bets:
ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Titan, Maruti, HUL, Infosys, M&M, Coal India and SBI.
Mid-cap bets:
LIC Housing Finance, Federal Bank,
Persistent, Indian Hotels, Page, Crompton Consumer, MMFS and Ashoka Buildcon.

Valuation deep-dive for the month: NBFCs
Since the beginning of the decade, NBFCs have consistently
gained momentum driven by slowing growth of the banking
sector, differentiated product and customer segments, and
deeper rural penetration. As a result, the sector witnessed
significant re-rating over the past 5-7 years. NBFCs currently trade
at a P/B of 3.2x.
Over the years, HFCs have gained market share from banks in the
housing finance segment. NBFCs continue to dominate the 2W
finance market with 70% share, while used CV financing also
remains its forte.
Over the past 12-18 months, HFCs have witnessed a correction in
valuations driven by two key factors, these include (a) rising GSec
yields leading to increase in cost of funds, and (b) the IL&FS issue
leading to tightness in liquidity.
Growth is expected to slow for the sector as a whole, with the
largest impact on wholesale financiers. Additionally, there are
concerns on the trajectory of asset quality of some wholesale
financiers. As a result, HFCs are now trading at 2.9x P/B (~10%
discount to 10-year average), with maximum de-rating coming
from DHFL and IHFL in the past six months.
Vehicle financiers witnessed strong re-rating over FY18, but
subsequently witnessed some correction in valuations. This was
primarily driven by concerns of a slowdown in auto volumes on
increase in prices of 2Ws and 4Ws due to the (a) new insurance
regulation, and (b) new axle load norms for CVs. As a result,
vehicle financiers are now trading at 1.9x P/B, 10% lower than the
10-year average of 2.1x.

Technology – Cautiously optimistic on the on-going traction

Private banks are trading at 2.7x, a 16% premium to its historical P/B average of 2.3x. Loan growth remains healthy at 14.5% YoY while deposit
growth stands relatively modest at 9.6% YoY. CD ratio stood at 77.8% (75% in FY18). Private banks continue to report healthy ~20% YoY loan growth
driven by retail and SME segments, while trends for PSU banks remain tepid.
Consumer sector trades at a P/E of 39.4x (down from 40.7x in Jan’19) at a premium of 20.7% to its 10-year average of 32.6x. On a P/B basis, the
sector trades at 12.5x, a premium of 23.8% to its 10-year average multiple of 10.1x. Consumer P/E relative to Nifty P/E has declined to 125.3% in

Private Banks Relative to Nifty PE (%)
Loan growth remained healthy with
14.5% YoY while deposit
26
growth stood relatively modest at 9.6% YoY. CD ratio stood at
19
77.8% (75% in FY18). Private banks continued to report
12
healthy ~20% YoY loan growth driven by retail and SME
segments while the trends for PSU banks remained tepid.
Asset quality trends have shown recovery
signs as fresh
slippages have moderated across key corporate banks.
Coverage ratios have improved while resolution of select
NCLT cases (Essar Steel & Bhushan Power) and asset
resolution under Samadhan scheme will likely drive healthy
provisioning write-backs
Margin cycle has likely bottomed out
and we expect NIMs
to be stable/expand on the back of (a) improved pricing
power, (b) repricing of advances portfolio, and, (c) lower
interest reversals as fresh slippage subsides.

PSU Banks:
Asset quality woes easing; NCLT resolutions to aid recoveries
PSU Banks are trading at a P/B of 0.8x, at a 12% discount
to its historical average of 0.9x.
Net stressed loans moderated further
buoyed by healthy
recoveries and a decline in fresh slippages. However
downgradation of ILFS account impacted the slippages
trajectory for a few banks (INBK, CBK and BOB). SBIN and
PNB appear well placed to benefit from the upcoming
NCLT resolutions.
Operating performance improved
moderately led by
improved NII growth on calibrated margin recovery
however this got partially offset by muted fee
income/gratuity provisions.
Others:
(a)
Government further announced capital
infusion
of INR482b in 12PSB’s to meet their provisioning
and capital requirements. (b)
RBI relaxed the PCA norms
for BOI, BOM, OBC, ALBK & CRPBK subject to continuous
monitoring. This in our view will help ease the flow of
credit to the MSME sector which has been muted over the
last few years

NBFCs:
Debt capital markets tightening up again
NBFCs trade at a P/B of 3.2x, above historical average (7%
premium).
Ever since the DHFL-Cobrapost issue, debt capital markets
again tightened their norms for NBFCs. CP volumes are 30-
40% lower than average. Our discussions with companies
reveal that the NCD market has been slow too, over the
past month.
3QFY19 was a key quarter for our coverage universe.
Performance was divergent across sectors and more so,
across companies within a sector. For vehicle financiers, it
was ‘business as usual’, while the HFCs witnessed some
slowdown.
Most companies managed the liquidity situation well,
although some managed by curtailing disbursements. For
most companies, there has been a sequential reduction in
CPs outstanding in 3Q. It is noteworthy that CIFC did not
borrow much during the quarter as it had already drawn
down INR60b from banks and

Capital Goods:
Valuation compress on slow down in business activity
Capital Goods sector trades at one-year forward P/E multiple
of 22.1 at a discount of 17% to its 10-year average P/E of
26.6x.
Even on a P/B basis, the sector trades at a discount of 22% to
its 10-year average multiple of 3.4x.
Valuation premium relative to the Nifty on a P/B basis has
been eroded and now trades at 2% discount v/s 10-year
average of 31%. On a P/E multiple basis, the premium has
narrowed to 27% from the 10-year average of 48%.
Valuation for the companies have witnessed correction given
multiple issues like (a) slow down in ordering, (b) margins
coming under pressure on account of inability to pass on
price hikes. Competition intensity remains fierce in the
industry given the paucity of orders in the near term

Consumer:
Valuations not relenting
Consumer sector P/E of 39.4x (down from 40.7x in Jan’19) is at
a premium of 20.7% to its 10-year average of 32.6x. On a P/B
basis, the sector trades at 12.5x, a premium of 23.8% to its 10-
year average multiple of 10.1x.
Consumer P/E relative to Nifty P/E has declined to 125.3% in
Feb’19 from 127.8% in Jan’19.
In the quarter ended 3QFY19, coverage companies cited a
stable demand environment with rural growing ahead of
urban (for the sixth consecutive quarter). Launch pipeline is
strong compared to the preceding two years. Favorable
demand also means that companies are largely able to pass on
the RM cost increases. Thus, while ad spends might rise on
new launches, the high margin trajectory can be sustained due
to operating leverage.

Healthcare:
Re-rating still remains a remote possibility
Healthcare P/E multiple has further contracted during the
month with discount increasing to 13% compared to its 10-
year average.
The recent quarterly performance indicates that price
erosion has reduced considerably in the US generic space,
and thus may resist further reduction in P/E.
However, subdued growth outlook due to increased
competition and/or high base effect continues to put
downward pressure on multiples — one of the reasons for
increased discount in case of Cadila and Sun Pharma.
The regulatory headwinds continue to pose downside risk to
the P/E multiple — a key reason for higher discount in case
of Dr. Reddy’s Lab and Lupin.
Domestic formulation (DF) segment remains on healthy
growth track, thereby driving premium for P/E multiple of
Torrent Pharma, Ajanta Pharma and Sanofi India.
Revival in return ratios through faster pace of launches,
consistent compliance in the US market and superior
execution in DF remains the key

for multiple recovery.

Infrastructure:
Awarding activity shows marginal sign of revival on sequential basis
Infrastructure sector trades at a P/B of 1.0x, at a 41%
discount to the historical average.
Multiple discount v/s historical average, despite peak
ordering in FY18, indicates concerns about timely
completion of the projects awarded.
Land acquisition remains a challenging issue for the
government, which has delayed providing appointed
date for the projects already awarded .
NHAI’s awarding stands muted in YTDFY19 with an
expectation that 4QFY19 will see awarding activity
picking up as was the case last year.
IRB Infra , Ashoka and Sadbhav trade at a discount to

Metals:
Domestic steel prices recover
Metals trade at 1.2x, near its historical average P/B
of 1.4x. EV/EBITDA is at 6.3x, a 14% discount to
historical average.
Domestic long and flat steel product prices were
higher by ~INR1,000-2,000/t during the month,
driven by positive trends in the global steel market.
Chinese steel prices recovered post their new year
holidays.
Aluminum prices were higher. Zinc prices have
increased more than USD100/t during the month.
We remain positive on JSW Steel, as it benefits from
higher steel spreads. Hindalco is well placed to
benefit from higher aluminum prices and low-cost
captive raw material.

Crude oil prices have been very volatile in February. Despite
12
cuts by OPEC+, new sanctions against Venezuela and
increased disruptions elsewhere, lack of recovery in global

economy have kept oil prices low.

Poor demand is also reflected in benchmark refining
margins – at ~USD2-3/bbl for the month, gasoline crack
continues to suffer the most.
OMCs appear to have normalized their marketing margins.
However, spectre of poor refining margins and sustainability of

On a P/B basis, the sector trades at 14.9x, a premium of 51.5%

gone up to 183.3% (from 174.3% in Jan’ 19).
The two stocks in our retail coverage have reported strong
revenue growth in the recently reported quarter led by SSSG.
Even margins for both the companies continue to expand as

Cautiously optimistic on on-going traction
Technology sector trades at a P/E of 18.7x, at an 15%
premium to its historical average of 16.3x.
NASSCOM guided for 9.2% CC YoY growth for FY19. While
traction in demand continues for now, some of the CEOs
are a little cautious on further increase in growth rate for
the next fiscal year.
Digital remained the key growth lever. As per NASSCOM,
revenue from digital increased 30% in FY19.
Higher onsite cost was iterated by almost every company
during the 3Q results . Some relief came in from operational
efficiency and tactical shift of projects at offshore locations.
Valuations for Mid cap IT has cooled off in comparison to
larger peers in 9MFY19. Tier-II IT trades at a 17% discount
to Tier-I’s P/E, after a high of 12% premium nine months
ago.
We remain positive on INFO and TECHM in Tier-I. In mid-
caps, we remain positive on ZENT, MTCL,and PSYS.
