Top six investment picks that may give 15-52 percent returns recommended by various Research Firms
1. Motilal Oswal - Tata Motors
The research firm has maintained its buy rating on the stock, with a target price of Rs 609 for ordinary shares and Rs 426 for DVR after analysing March sales data.
Jaguar Land Rover's wholesale volumes in March 2017 grew around 11 percent YoY (up 31 percent MoM) to 71,609 units, exceeding Motilal Oswal's estimate of 68,155 units.
Jaguar volumes grew around 53 percent YoY to 20,492 units, driven by F-Pace and XE. Also, XF long-wheel base exhibited good growth in China JV. Land Rover (LR) volumes were flat YoY at 51,117 units with continuing strong sales of Discovery Sport, Evoque and Range Rover Sport offset by the run-out of Defender and Discovery.
JLR retail volumes grew around 21 percent YoY (up 122 percent MoM) to 90,838 units, driven by an increase of 83 percent in Jaguar volumes and around 5 percent in LR volumes.
Region-wise, UK sales grew around 27 percent YoY, followed by North America (21 percent), European Union (21 percent) and China (19 percent), led by high demand for F-Pace, and XF long-wheel base in China. Rest of world sales grew around 8 percent YoY.
Its FY17 wholesale volumes grew 10 percent YoY to 6,00,731 units.
2. Edelweiss Financial - Ashok Leyland
Edelweiss says it is enthused by the technological prowess displayed by Ashok Leyland in managing the transition to BS-IV as the least cost manufacturer.
Company's BS-IV design is based on exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) technology, which is better suited to Indian conditions versus peers, who use selective catalytic reduction (SCR) based on European technology, which also entails higher costs. Ashok Leyland is the only domestic original equipment manufacturer using EGR technology above 130HP.
This, along with granular focus on widening product basket and distribution reach, will propel the current 15-year high market share and industry leading margin/return on equity, it feels.
The brokerage house estimates EPS CAGR of around 26 percent over FY16-19 and return on equity to improve around 830bps to 26.4 percent in FY19 (18 percent in FY16).
Ashok Leyland did not panic during the transition phase (post Supreme Court's March 29, 2017, order banning sale of BS-III vehicles from April 1, 2017) due to a well chalked out strategy to handle BS-III stock.
Edelweiss has maintained a buy rating on the stock, with a target price of Rs 125 and assigned Rs 6 to the Hinduja Finance stake.
3. Axis Direct - Westlife Development
Axis Direct says it remained positive on Westlife as it continues to innovate and prepare itself for an uptick in consumer sentiment. Despite upgrading consumer experience, it continues to deliver strong value proposition. It built in net sales CAGR of 18 percent over FY17-20 and estimates operating profit margin increase of 220 bps over FY17-20.
Westlife Development operates a chain of McDonald's restaurants in west and south India through its subsidiary Hardcastle Restaurants (HRPL).
After the recent slowdown in QSR (quick service restaurants) space, the company has launched various initiatives to grab a greater share of consumer wallet through brand extensions, and according to the research house, it should benefit from recovery in consumer sentiment. It estimates 9 percent same-store-sales growth in FY18-20.
Westlife's same-store-sales growth declined for 9 successive quarters from Q1FY14 but has been reporting positive same-store-sales growth from Q2FY16.
It has launched the 'Experience of the Future' restaurant platform, in line with the global strategy at McDonald's, making greater use of technology to elevate customer experience.
The brokerage house has maintained a buy call on the stock, with DCF-based target price of Rs 260.
4. LKP - Lakshmi Vilas Bank
Lakshmi Vilas Bank's focus to reduce costs, decrease slippages & write-offs and grow the retail base will be key drivers to improve profitability, says the brokerage house, adding sustained branch productivity with aggressive expansion, implementation of innovative technology and continued focus staff training along with brand building signify healthy growth for LVB going forward.
Its net interest margin has been resilient as the decline in cost of funds has been in tandem with the fall witnessed in yield on advances. As compared to its regional peers, LVB's CASA as a share of deposits is low and thus the management is focused on expanding CASA through customer base enlargement, increasing branch network, competitive interest rates, new services and innovative technology.
About 60 percent of the sectors contributing to LVB's gross non-performing assets exposure make up for only 20 percent of the loan book. Thus, a low percentage of advances are towards the sectors that form a substantial portion of the stressed assets indicating stability in quality of assets, LKP says.
At the current price of Rs 165, Lakshmi Vilas Bank, trading at 1.5x adjusted book value can be accumulated with a one year price objective of Rs 190, LKP says.
