2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 (Figures in Billions of Indian Rupees)
The company's sales increased faster in 2011 than at all three comparable companies. While Bharti Airtel Limited enjoyed a sales increase of 42.2%, the other companies saw smaller increases: SK Telecom Company Limited sales were up 6.0%, Singapore Telecommunications Limited increased 7.1%, and Chunghwa Telecom Company Limited experienced growth of 2.1%. The company currently employs 18,354. With sales of 594.67 billion Indian Rupees (US$13.36 billion) , this equates to sales of US$727,707 per employee. The sales per employee levels at the three comparable companies vary greatly, from US$249,530 to US$3,302,842, as shown in the following table. Some of the variation may be due to the way each of these companies counts employees (and if they count subcontractors, independent contractors, etc).

Recent Stock Performance For the 52 weeks ending 7/15/2011, the stock of this company was up 31.7% to 392.95 Indian Rupees. During the past 13 weeks, the stock has increased 5.5%. During the past 52 weeks, the stock of Bharti Airtel Limited has outperformed the three comparable companies, which saw changes between -10.0% and 28.1%. During the 12 months ending 3/31/2011, earnings per share totalled 15.94 Indian Rupees per share. Thus, the Price / Earnings ratio is 24.65. Earnings per share fell 34.0% in 2011 from 2010. The 24.7 P/E ratio of this company is higher than the P/E ratio of all three comparable companies, which are currently trading between 7.5 and 17.3 times earnings. This company is currently trading at 2.51 times sales. The three companies vary greatly in terms of price to sales ratio: trading from 0.66 times all the way up to 4.04 times their annual sales. Bharti Airtel Limited is trading at 3.06 times book value. However, at the end of fiscal year 2011, this company's intangible assets (637.32 billion Indian Rupees) were higher than its common equity (487.67 billion Indian Rupees), which means that the price to book ratio is not a very useful indicator. The company's price to book ratio is higher than that of all three comparable companies, which are trading between 0.90 and 2.11 times book value. Summary of company valuations (as of 7/15/2011).

The market capitalization of this company is 1.49 trillion Indian Rupees (US$33.52 billion) . Closely held shares (i.e., those held by officers, directors, pension and benefit plans and those shareholders who own more than 5% of the stock) amount to over 50% of the total shares outstanding: thus, it is impossible for an outsider to acquire a majority of the shares without the consent of management and other insiders. The capitalization of the floating stock (i.e., that which is not closely held) is 480.08 billion Indian Rupees (US$10.78 billion) . Dividend Analysis During the 12 months ending 3/31/2011, Bharti Airtel Limited paid dividends totalling 1.00 Indian Rupees per share. Since the stock is currently trading at 392.95 Indian Rupees, this implies a dividend yield of 0.3%. This company's dividend yield is lower than the three comparable companies (which are currently paying dividends between 4.9% and 6.5% of the stock price). The company has paid a dividend for 3 straight years. During the same 12 month period ended 3/31/2011, the Company reported earnings of 15.94 Indian Rupees per share. Thus, the company paid 6.3% of its profits as dividends. Since the company is paying less than 10% of its earnings out in dividends, it is likely that this company believes that it has significant growth prospects, and has decided to pay only a modest dividend. Profitability Analysis On the 594.67 billion Indian Rupees in sales reported by the company in 2011, the cost of services sold totalled 394.32 billion Indian Rupees, or 66.3% of sales (i.e., the gross profit was 33.7% of sales). This gross profit margin is lower than the company achieved in 2010, when cost of services sold totalled 58.8% of sales. The gross margin in 2011 was the lowest of the previous five years (in 2008, the gross margin had been as high as 53.3%). Bharti Airtel Limited's 2011 gross profit margin of 33.7% was lower than all three comparable companies (which had gross profits in 2011 between 58.9% and 96.8% of sales). In 2011, earnings before extraordinary items at Bharti Airtel Limited were 60.47 billion Indian Rupees, or 10.2% of sales. This profit margin is lower than the level the company achieved in 2010, when the profit margin was 21.9% of sales. The company's return on equity in 2011 was 15.2%. This was significantly worse than the already high 31.5% return the company achieved in 2010. (Extraordinary items have been excluded). Profitability Comparison

This is significantly higher than where the long term debt to equity ratio was in March 2010, when the long term debt to equity ratio was only 0.18.

India Telecoms Sector ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------3G/data opportunity: Encouraging takeaways from meetings with VAS industry players
Sunil Tirumalai / Research Analyst / 91 22 6777 3714 / sunil.tirumalai@credit-suisse.com
We have highlighted lack of locally relevant content as the key hurdle for rapid data revenue uptake in India (in our 23 May 2011 report). In this context, we recently met with a number of app developers, content providers and tech consultants, at a conference in Delhi. Plain mobile internet access is seen as the immediate driver for 3G revenues in India, especially from English speaking Indians who are already web-literate. Simultaneously, developers are working on video-based extensions of current voice-based entertainment applications, as subscribers move from a 2G to a 3G environment. Over the longer term, content developers are focusing on moving beyond entertainment themes to other areas such as education, health and governance. Falling handset prices (including the expectation of a US$100 smartphone in the next 12 months) is a key catalyst that the developer community is encouraged by. We believe that the data/3G theme is yet to be fully appreciated in the Indian telecoms sector, and expect 3G to surprise positively on both revenues and capex. We maintain our OUTPERFORM ratings on Bharti and Idea.

The participants at the conference agreed that plain internet access will be the key driver (short of a killer app) for the next 6-12 months. They expect sufficient demand from English speaking Indians who are already online through large screen access. The developer community is also encouraged by the falling ASPs of smartphones (including the visibility of a US$100 smartphone in the next 12 months by India-based handset vendors).

The next leg of content/app drivers in India are expected to be video extensions of current voice-based ABCD applications. Some of the apps the developers are working on include: Video ringback tones, as extensions of currently popular caller ring-back tones Video versions of shortfilms: Over the past year audio shortfilms are gaining popularity these are abridged audio tracks of popular Indian movies that run for around 15 minutes which more or less give the entire story line. One developer we spoke to claimed ARPUs of Rs35+ from this service from subscribers of Bharti, Aircel and Idea including from rural areas. IVVRs Video versions of interactive voice response systems. Other applications that developers are banking on include speechrecognition-based services and navigation guides.
Long-term focus on localised applications for non-metros
In our 23 May 2011 report (Indian Telecom Sector: Data is here and now!), we had highlighted that of the five parts of the data access supply chain, the content segment is probably the weakest link. This segment is yet to see the developments seen in the rest of the supply chain. In this context, we recently attended a conference on Mobile VAS in Delhi, to get an idea of current thinking of players in this industry. The players we met included some of the operators (VAS teams of Bharti, Idea, Aircel, Tata Docomo), application developers, technology platform providers, technology consultants etc.
Current state of m-VAS in India
Currently, non-voice revenues account for 10-15% of mobile operator revenues in India, with 50-60% of this coming from SMS. Thus, only 5-7% of industry revenues come from non-SMS VAS. Entertainment-based VAS accounts for ~55% of this m-VAS segment, while information-based VAS accounts for around 40%. The key themes in the entertainment segment revolve around astrology, Bollywood, cricket and devotional content (collectively called ABCD).
Immediate 3G demand will be driven by internet access
Over the longer term, m-VAS is expected to go beyond the ABCD themes, to utility areas like education, health, agriculture, law, mgovernance etc, mostly in local languages. We have shown in our report (please refer to page 25) that lack of local language content is a key hindrance for mass uptake of internet in India. We are yet to see any strong local language websites/applications in India (this issue suffers from a chicken-andegg situation which we have detailed in the report). However, our discussions with the content developers give us comfort that the industry is moving towards this goal over the longer term.
With 6% internet usage penetration, ~1% broadband penetration and 3% wireline telephony penetration, it is reasonable to expect that most Indians will access the internet for the first time on their mobile phones.

We assume a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 12. Our DCF model builds in strong cashflow growth till FY3/15, a 8% medium term growth (FY3/15 - FY3/30) and 3% terminal growth. This includes a Rs-24/share value destruction from Zain Africa acquisition Risks: Risks to our 12-month target price of Rs450 for Bharti include 1) TRAI recommendations get implemented 2) increased capex/slower improvement in EBITDA for African operations and 3) increased competitive intensity in the Indian market 4) Slower than expected 3G ramp Price Target: (12 months) for (IDEA.BO) Method: Our 12-month target price of Rs95 for Idea Cellular Limited is based on discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis. We assume a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 12. Our DCF model builds a period of strong cashflow growth till FY3/16, and a 3% terminal growth rate and terminal ROIC of 27%. Risks: Risks to our 12-month target price of Rs95 for Idea are: 1) If TRAI's recommendations get implemented, it could negatively impact our fair value estimate by 70% 2) execution risk - Idea is entering new circles, where it is the sixth or seventh operator. If marketshare or margins are below our estimates or capex higher than our numbers, it could lead to a downside risk to our target price, 3) Intensification of competition in the Indian telecom market.

Structured securities are complex instruments, typically involve a high degree of risk and are intended for sale only to sophisticated investors who are capable of understanding and assuming the risks involved. The market value of any structured security may be affected by changes in economic, financial and political factors (including, but not limited to, spot and forward interest and exchange rates), time to maturity, market conditions and volatility, and the credit quality of any issuer or reference issuer.

Some investments discussed in this report have a high level of volatility. High volatility investments may experience sudden and large falls in their value causing losses when that investment is realised. Those losses may equal your original investment. Indeed, in the case of some investments the potential losses may exceed the amount of initial investment, in such circumstances you may be required to pay more money to support those losses. Income yields from investments may fluctuate and, in consequence, initial capital paid to make the investment may be used as part of that income yield.

India Telecoms
1QFY12 Preview: Bharti, Idea, RCOM, TTSL and TCOM
Expect modest volume growth in Q1: After strong volume growth in Q4 were expecting slower Q/Q wireless minutes growth across Bharti/Idea/RCOM. This is driven by the 15%-25% decline in quarterly net add rates for these telcos with flat to slight declines in MOUs. While slightly negative for Q1, we believe telcos are increasingly focusing on revenue generating subs/minutes positive for H2 FY12. Some ARPM pressure to continue: We expect ARPMs to decline again in Q1 after Q4 broke away from the improving trend. However we expect the rate of decline to be more modest in Q1. We forecast about 1% declines in blended ARPM for the three telcos vs. 0-3% seen in Q4. Wireless margin a mixed picture: We expect slight margin improvement (~70bp each) at Bharti and RCOM which saw 130-160bps decline in wireless margin in Q4 while for Idea, which saw a flattish development in Q4 we expect margins to decline 30bp in Q1. Key issues to watch in Q1 [1] Pricing development as we expect H1 to be a transition with most telcos indicating a better environment [2] Weaker subscriber trajectory as telcos increasingly focus on revenue generating subs and minutes [3] increased network opex [4] for Bharti Africa, evidence of continued margin improvement. Forecast changes: For Bharti, we reduce our FY12E EPS by 4% driven by the wireless business, while for Idea our FY12E EPS declines to INR2.5 (from INR2.7) due to below-the-line costs. We slightly tweak our Tulip Telecom estimates too. Our new Mar-12 PTs for Bharti and Idea are INR444/62 vs. INR440/60 earlier. While Q1, besides being a seasonally weak quarter, will also see higher 3G related costs for the telcos, we continue to see two positives for the sector in FY12 improved pricing and regulatory clarity. We prefer Bharti as it is best positioned to absorb any negative regulatory impact in addition to benefiting from the expected pricing stability in H2 FY12 and strong earnings growth. We also like Tulip Telecom and expect continued strength in core business as increased fibre contribution drives both top-line growth and margin expansion. We remain cautious on Idea Cellular primarily due to higher exposure to regulatory risks.

Bharti Airtel Q4 trends spill-over expected; watching for margin improvement in Africa
Bharti India's Q1 net adds like the market have declined Q/Q. The run rate for Bharti is 25% until May while for the GSM market it is 27%. While we expect this to have impacted minutes growth somewhat, our conversations reveal that with a greater focus on revenue generating and active subs, the decline in net adds was driven by lower-end subs implying only a limited negative volume impact. For Bhartis India wireless business, were looking for 4.6% minutes growth Q/Q after the 6.4% seen in Q4. On ARPMs, we looking for continued pressure on the voice segment and forecast 3% decline in voice-ARPMs, somewhat off-set by continued growth in non-wireless revenue resulting in our estimate of a 1.5% Q/Q decline in blended ARPM to 42.6 paisa after the 2.3% decline seen in Q4. This drives our estimate for wireless revenue growth of 3.0%, slightly below the 3.8-3.9% seen over the past two quarters. We expect some momentum in the Telemedia business driven by data and forecast 3.5% Q/Q growth while we expect the Enterprise business to remain largely flat with 1% growth. After a weaker Q4 than expected in the passive infrastructure business (only 0.2% growth seen in Q4), we expect a small rebound with 4.5% growth. On the costs front, we expect network opex and SG&A expenses to remain high and forecast only a 40bp Q/Q improvement in margin to 37.0% for India and South Asia. For Bharti Africa, we expect elasticity to have remained robust and forecast a slight recovery in net add trend. Were looking for 1.8% revenue growth and a 30bp margin improvement to 26.6%. On a consolidated basis, we forecast 2.6% revenue growth to INR 167.3bn, a 45bp margin improvement to 33.9% and an EPS of INR 3.7.

Tulip Telecom expect a seasonally modest Q1, looking for Y/Y growth
With Q3 and Q4 being stronger quarters for Tulip Telecom, were looking for a modest 1% Q/Q revenue growth in Q1 (-1% in Q1FY10, -4% in Q1FY09). On a Y/Y basis this implies 23% growth. We forecast 28.4% EBITDA margin, a ~90bp decline Q/Q, but +1.4pp Y/Y. We will also be watching for a continued increase in contribution from fibre, which was 50%+ of new orders in Q4 and an update on the data centre business.

Risks to our view include: We highlight the following risks to our rating and price target: Downside risks: [1] Delay in clarity in the regulatory environment and the impact exceeding the INR28/share we factor in [2] High-end competition impact on Bharti more than expected; [3] 3G data pricing competition; [4] Slower subscriber growth than we forecast; [5] Higher capex requirements in Africa
Reliance Communications
Our Mar-12 price target is INR 95. This is based on our SOTP-based fair market value of INR 134/share for RCOM's core businesses and an INR 38 reduction for estimated risk of the current regulatory environment.

We quantify the risk relating to the 2G spectrum issues. These include [1] excess spectrum payment [2] renewal of licenses [3] the loss attributed to dual-technology telcos by the CAG report [4] others like the shareholding in Swan Telecom and the CBI investigation. We estimate the impact at INR 38. We note that these are known risks to the market now and we acknowledge that the risk here may be different.

Risks to our ratings and price target include Upside risks: [1] Better minute volume performance in wireless; [2] Better performance in Globalcom from data revenue; [3] Wireless margin strength; [4] consolidation in the market; [5] Stake sale confirmation the RCOM board has approved a 26% stake sale in the company. An equity infusion would be positive and help de-lever the company. Downside risks: [1] Less success for ROCM in Mobile Number Portability resulting in continued declines in ARPMs vs. the stabilization we forecast; [2] Delays in or unsuccessful stake sale (cash inflow which would be used for debt reduction) [3] Continued regulatory-related issues.
Idea Cellular
Our Mar-12 price target is now Rs62 and is based on our SOTP valuation. This is driven by INR62 from the core business and INR13 for its 16% stake in Indus, and we knocked off Rs.13 for regulatory uncertainty. We use a WACC of 12% and a terminal growth rate of 3%.

Risks to our ratings and price target are: (1) operators staying away from price competition post 3G/MNP; (2) faster-than-expected growth in profitability in new circles; and (3) monetization of tower assets, and consolidation, M&A in the sector.
Tulip Telecom
Our Mar-12 price target is INR 230. We value Tulips core business at INR 221 based on a full DCF analysis. We add INR 10/share for TTSLs 13% stake in the BWA JV with Qualcomm valued at INR 1,400.

We highlight the following downside risks to our ratings and price target: [1] Earlier or deeper competition from BWA winners like Reliance Industries in last mile enterprise connectivity and/or increasing competition from traditional players like Tata Communications, BSNL, Bharti, Reliance Communications; [2] Tulip having to pay license fee for using the 3.3GHz band (currently unlicensed); [3] Continued caution on spend by enterprises [4] Delays in execution in Tulips data centre business.
Tata Communications
Our Mar-12 price target of INR 180 is based on our sum-of-the-parts valuation. We use a WACC of 13% and a terminal growth rate of 3%. The core business (ILD, NLD voice, data and others) contributes INR12 value, its 9.5% stake in Tata Teleservices adds INR54, while the surplus land is valued at INR114.

We expect loan growth to be lower than industry loan growth at (26.0) 18% Y/Y. Margins are expected to expand by 5-10bps on the back of 75 bps hike in base rates and PLR in May 2011 in order to offset higher cost of funds. Provisions are expected to remain high as the bank catches up with its provisioning coverage requirements. 12.5 We expect NII to grow 24% Y/Y and margins to decline ~20bps sequentially due to higher deposit costs. Loans to grow above industry level at around 24%. Slippages will remain high for the bank as it transits to system based NPL recognition. Other income will remain subdued, growing 15% Y/Y. Lower margins and higher provisions will restrict the PAT growth at 12% Y/Y.

Sharing mechanism remains a big unknown and lower compensation from Government could lead to reported losses in 1QFY12, similar to 1QFY11. Inventory gains (due to q-q increase in oil prices) could pose upside risks to our estimates . We estimate PAT at INR1.88bn (up 69% y-y, down 9% q-q). We 8.8 estimate EBITDA to increase 3% q-q, but lower other income and higher expected tax rates likely to impact the bottomline (One off other income and lower tax rate in 4Q). We expect 5-6 spot/shortterm LNG cargoes in 1Q. 1Q expected volumes imply that Dahej terminal is running at close to its full capacity. 7.1 We expect 16% y-y earnings growth, driven by refining. We expect GRM of US$10.4/bbl (up 42% y-y, 13% q-q) driven by middle distillates. However, reported premium to Singapore complex likely to remain low at ~US$1.8/bbl due to higher Brent linked crude costs and increased gas costs (supply cut of KG-D6 gas and higher LNG prices). We estimate Pet-chem EBIT to decline ~10% q-q declines in key petchem prices and increase in feedstock prices. E&P likely to disappoint with declining production at KG-D6. 1443.4 720.4 5.1 10.1 6.4 4.2 67.4 35.3 26.1 25132.7 6149.0 3187.5 22.8 21.4 426631.2 4622.5 749.8 2.2 7.6 (76.6) (93.3) 46.0 NM NM 1628157.7 18841.2 6500.3 19.2 44.9 (57.2) We estimate gross under-recovery of INR 93.1bn for 1Q, and assume INR 31.0bn (1/3rd of total U/Rs) as upstream discount and INR46.6bn (50% of total U/Rs) as Govt compensation. Sharing mechanism remains a big unknown and lower compensation from Government could lead to reported losses in 1QFY12, similar to 1QFY11. Inventory gains (due to q-q increase in oil prices) could pose upside risks to our estimates . We estimate 26% y-y and 4% q-q PAT growth. We expect 14% y-y 6.6 growth in CNG volumes and sharp 83% y-y growth in PNG volumes. We expect price hikes will offset increase in input gas costs.

Sharing mechanism remains a big unknown and lower compensation from Government could lead to reported losses in 1QFY12, similar to 1QFY11. Inventory gains (due to q-q increase in oil prices) could pose upside risks to our estimates . 49.6 10.3 We estimate PAT at INR28.5bn - up ~10x y-y and 16% q-q. We assume - Mangala production at 125kbpd and Cairn's total working interest production at 99kbpd (up 121% y-y, 5% q-q). We assume 12% discount for waxy Mangala crude. If Cairn is made to share royalty on Rajasthan crude, One time hit (from production start till FY11end) is estimated at INR14bn. We estimate PAT at INR9.0bn (up 2% y-y, 15% q-q). We estimate 5.1 gas transmission volumes (at 118mmscmd) to decline marginally due to lower domestic gas production partly offset by higher LNG imports. Expect pet-chem sales volumes to decline by 37% after a sharp 78% increase in 4Q last year. We assume - 1. Upstream sharing at 1/3rd of under-recoveries 2. GAIL would share under-recoveries only on cooking fuels @~13.7% of 1/3rd of upstream share. 0.9 We estimate 2QCY11 PAT at INR662mn. Gas sales at 3.3mmscmd. We expect price hikes taken by the company to largely offset for increase in gas costs and assume gross margins to remain largely flat at INR4.5/scm.

Glenmark shall report in IFRS and hence YoY comparison is difficult. 23.3 The net profit is boosted by US$25m licensing income. Excluding the licensing income we expect net profit at INR 899m. We expect domestic market growth at 17%. Other branded generic markets are expected to grow between 20-30%. We project Glenmark generic growth at 25% on back of higher revenues from API (assuming sales momentum to continue from Q4FY11). We project EBITDA margins at 22.5% ex licensing income, in line with management guidance of 22-23%. 68.0 We expect Jubilant to register a sequential growth of 2.1% in sales. Jubilant launched generic Aricept in US in Jun 2011. Due to adverse macro-economic environment, we pencil in a marginal decline in EBITDA margins sequentially (29 bps). Jubilant also received milestone payments from Astrazeneca and Endo Pharmaceuticals in 1QFY12. As per the management, the quantum may not be significant. We project India business growth at 17% on a high base last year. (9.1) There are no material launches in the US during the quarter. We see the base effect slowing down growth. There were significant ramp up during Q1FY11 for Lotrel and hence on higher base we expect growth to slow down. Further, as company started reporting net of rebates from Q3FY11, the growth shall be muted for the branded generic business as well. Margins will continue to remain under pressure as a) lotrel pricing has come down and b) there is impact of newly commissioned facilities. The company may book some licensing fees from Salix. 64.7 Ranbaxys performance in the previous quarters were materially impacted by sales of exclusivity products in the US. The impact of exclusivity sales are likely to be very limited in Q2CY11. We project US$18m exclusivity Aricept sales during the quarter. We expect domestic sales growth to accelerate to 20% during the quarter. We project core EBITDA excluding Aricept at INR 1.65bn. We project interest cost of rise materially post the repayment of FCCB during the quarter. The interesting bearing debt is likely to increase by INR 25bn. We expect domestic business to record robust 21% growth YoY. The 0.2 export business growth is aided by the Taro acquisition. We are conservative on upside from Taxotere. The margins in Q1FY11 were boosted by high margin Protonix, Eloxatin sales and lower staff and R&D expense. Hence we expect EBITDA margins to fall substantially YoY. Expect net profit to decline 14% YoY despite addition of Taro.

Explanation of Nomura's equity research rating system in Europe, Middle East and Africa, US and Latin America for ratings published from 27 October 2008
The rating system is a relative system indicating expected performance against a specific benchmark identified for each individual stock. Analysts may also indicate absolute upside to target price defined as (fair value - current price)/current price, subject to limited management discretion. In most cases, the fair value will equal the analyst's assessment of the current intrinsic fair value of the stock using an appropriate valuation methodology such as discounted cash flow or multiple analysis, etc. STOCKS A rating of 'Buy', indicates that the analyst expects the stock to outperform the Benchmark over the next 12 months. A rating of 'Neutral', indicates that the analyst expects the stock to perform in line with the Benchmark over the next 12 months. A rating of 'Reduce', indicates that the analyst expects the stock to underperform the Benchmark over the next 12 months. A rating of 'Suspended', indicates that the rating and target price have been suspended temporarily to comply with applicable regulations and/or firm policies in certain circumstances including when Nomura is acting in an advisory capacity in a merger or strategic transaction involving the company. Benchmarks are as follows: United States/Europe: Please see valuation methodologies for explanations of relevant benchmarks for stocks (accessible through the left hand side of the Nomura Disclosure web page: http://go.nomuranow.com/research/globalresearchportal);Global Emerging Markets (ex-Asia): MSCI Emerging Markets ex-Asia, unless otherwise stated in the valuation methodology.

STOCKS Stock recommendations are based on absolute valuation upside (downside), which is defined as (Fair Value - Current Price)/Current Price, subject to limited management discretion. In most cases, the Fair Value will equal the analyst's assessment of the current intrinsic fair value of the stock using an appropriate valuation methodology such as Discounted Cash Flow or Multiple analysis etc. However, if the analyst doesn't think the market will revalue the stock over the specified time horizon due to a lack of events or catalysts, then the fair value may differ from the intrinsic fair value. In most cases, therefore, our recommendation is an assessment of the difference between current market price and our estimate of current intrinsic fair value. Recommendations are set with a 6-12 month horizon unless specified otherwise. Accordingly, within this horizon, price volatility may cause the actual upside or

downside based on the prevailing market price to differ from the upside or downside implied by the recommendation. A 'Strong buy' recommendation indicates that upside is more than 20%. A 'Buy' recommendation indicates that upside is between 10% and 20%. A 'Neutral' recommendation indicates that upside or downside is less than 10%. A 'Reduce' recommendation indicates that downside is between 10% and 20%. A 'Sell' recommendation indicates that downside is more than 20%. SECTORS A 'Bullish' rating means most stocks in the sector have (or the weighted average recommendation of the stocks under coverage is) a positive absolute recommendation. A 'Neutral' rating means most stocks in the sector have (or the weighted average recommendation of the stocks under coverage is) a neutral absolute recommendation. A 'Bearish' rating means most stocks in the sector have (or the weighted average recommendation of the stocks under coverage is) a negative absolute recommendation.
Target Price
A Target Price, if discussed, reflect in part the analyst's estimates for the company's earnings. The achievement of any target price may be impeded by general market and macroeconomic trends, and by other risks related to the company or the market, and may not occur if the company's earnings differ from estimates.
