Bharti Airtel (Target ~4%)

CMP ` 367.8

Bharti Airtel - Technical Perspective

Bharti Airtel is the largest telecom operator in India and the 5th largest in the world with presence over 19 countries across Asia and Africa. Bharti is the best positioned telecom operator to benefit from the changes in the current telecom regulatory environment, stabilising domestic market and tremendous opportunities in Africa.

Result Analysis: During Q4FY11, Bharti Airtels topline registered a growth of 3.2% to ` 162.65 bn from ` 157.56 bn on QoQ basis and increase of 51.3% on YoY basis (not comparable because of Zains inclusion) led by India & South Asia markets grew by 3.8% on QoQ and Africa business posted $924 mn revenues, with a marginal increase of 1.4%. EBITDA improved by 3.2% (excluding one-time branding exp of ` 3.4 bn in Q3) to ` 54.49 bn from ` 53.21 bn (QoQ), with a margin contradiction of 26 bps to 33.5%. Interestingly, Indian mobile business EBITDA margin declined by 130 bps to 33.3%, in the meantime, African business margin has improved dramatically by 550 bps to 26.4%. Adjusted PAT declined by 14.7% to ` 14 bn from ` 16.42 bn on QoQ basis on account of higher income tax (27.3% vs 21.7%). On operational front, Indian operations ARPU declined slightly to ` 194 from ` 198 and African ARPU remained at $7.2 vs $7.3 on QoQ basis. At the CMP of ` 367.8, Bharti trades at 13.3x on its FY13E consolidated EPS of ` 27.6 (Bloomberg Consensus). Considering the stabilising operating performance in domestic and improving African business, upbeat 3G prospects and strong presence in under penetrated telemedia business make us believe Bharti as a good bet for the investors. Recently, the stock has corrected from its recent highs of ~390, provides an opportunity for the investors to enter into it. The stock after falling sharply from its recent high of 390 took support at the extended falling trend line near 350 and bounced back strongly in the last few days This indicates that uptrend from the February lows is still in force and leaves scope for gains towards the resistance near 377 and last months high of 390 in the forthcoming trading sessions Weekly MACD (12/26/9) is exhibiting positive momentum and prices honored the 100-day EMA in prior fall which would be supportive for the said argument On the downside, immediate support is seen at 363 and then at prior swing low of 346 Only an early fall below the later will turn the sentiments weak negating the upside potential

Power Grid (Target ~4%)

CMP ` 101.4

Power Grid - Technical Perspective


125 120 115 110 105

Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL) is India's largest electric power transmission company owning and operating more than 95% of India's interstate and inter-regional electric power transmission system. Power grid is present in Transmission, Consultancy, and Telecom etc.

100 Pole & Flag 95 90

PGCILs business model is with minimal risk and stable profitability since there is no variability in the tariff computation. Hence volatility in earnings is significantly lower as compared to a power generation firm. Company is planning to leverage its transmission towers by leasing the space to telecom

service providers which could further boost its earnings PGCIL is a monopoly player in the power transmission sector. As per the CERC norms, PGCIL earns RoE / profits on the regulated equity / capitalized Assets (~16% regulated returns). The capitalization is expected to pick up over the next 5 years, in line with the capacity addition in the power sector (100GW planned for the XIIth 5-year plan; the estimated capex for PGCIL in this plan is estimated at ` 1100bn against ` 550bn in the XIth plan). At ` 101.4/share, PGCIL is valued at 1.9xP/B & 15.3xP/E on FY12E consensus estimates, which is reasonable on an absolute basis (given the higher RoEs).
