Dear investor,
The financial year 2009-10 ended with the Sensex gaining a whopping 80%,
moving from 9,708 to 17,527 points. Corporate profits for 2009-10 on the whole
remain flat: They were low in the first half but made a robust recovery in the
second half. That recovery is likely to continue in 2010-11. At this juncture,
earnings forecasts show that for the next year EPS growth will be 25-30% - from
From the desk of
Rs.810 to Rs.1,000 + EPS. There are two contradictory trends to this development.

Global recovery is leading to high export demand, which will support high GDP
growth, but high oil/commodity prices threaten corporate profitability.

forecast to be normal this year. Hence we are set for 8-9% growth in the next
year, with inflation of 6-7%. Asset prices are at reasonably elevated levels. Rs.64
lakh cr market cap is almost 100% of current GDP. We have to be extremely
selective in finding value, particularly among large caps. A few spots where I think
we should look for opportunities are: Banking/PSU banking in particular, Telecom,
stocks the Cement, Steel and Real Estate. A pre-budget correction also proved that markets
are unlikely to drop below 15,000 points. Hence, every depression in the market
way we shop should be used to invest for 3-5 years.

Perspective
India Strategy
In our India Strategy for the quarter ended December 2009, we had said that we see the beginning of a new cycle of earnings growth.
Corporate performance for the quarter ending March 2010 should confirm that this new cycle is not only in motion but gaining momentum.
We expect our Universe (ex RMs) to report an all-time high PAT of Rs.575bn in 4QFY10, breaching the previous peak of Rs.542bn in
2QFY09. In fact, 4QFY10 would be a historic quarter not only in terms of absolute quantum of profit but also in terms of YoY growth (post
June 2007).
Roots of earnings growth firmly entrenched:
We expect MOSL Universe earnings growth to be 33% in 4QFY10, the strongest in several quarters, taking absolute profits to a new high.
All sectors will report positive growth, with the exception of Telecom. 25 of the 30 Sensex stocks will report positive earnings growth in
4QFY10. We expect the momentum of 4QFY10 to sustain in FY11 and beyond. We will not be surprised if the eventual earnings growth
over FY10-14 beats our estimate of 23% CAGR. Importantly, along with growth, the quality of earnings growth would also improve. We
expect Sensex RoE to bottom out in FY10 and cross the longperiod average of 18% by FY12.
NTD era provides fertile soil for "growth unlimited":
In 2007, we launched our landmark India NTD (Next Trillion Dollar) report. This report brought out a simple, yet profound, fact - it took
India 60 years since independence to generate the first trillion dollars of GDP, while the next trillion dollars (NTD) would take only 5-6 years.
This NTD era spells "unlimited growth" for several businesses, throwing up several investment themes and opportunities.
In our India Strategy for the quarter ended December 2009, we had carried out a detailed bottom-up exercise of estimating earnings for our
Universe through FY14. Sensex earnings is expected to grow at 23% CAGR over FY10-14 (v/s -1.8% over FY08-10E and 25.1% over FY03-
08), while we estimate aggregate earnings growth for our Universe at 20% CAGR (v/s 6% over FY08-10E and 25.4% over FY03-08). In this
issue, we carry out a relatively microscopic analysis to identify the key stimulants in respective sectors that would fuel such high growth.
Caterpillars to watch for:
Even as the market blossoms, nourished by the deep roots of earnings growth, it needs to watch out for caterpillars that could gnaw on
the young shoots of market appreciation. These are: (1) interest rate cycle, (2) uncertainty of monsoons, (3) runaway oil prices, and (4) FII
flows. Given RBI's resolve to aggressively tackle inflation and the government's Rs.4.5tn borrowing program in FY11, a short-term spike in
interest rates is imminent. Also, crude prices are at an 18-month high of US$85/bbl. At crude price of US$80/bbl, underrecovery could be
Rs.875bn in FY11, up from Rs.462bn in FY10. Runaway oil prices are reemerging as a key risk, in our opinion.
High inflation and the resultant policy measure of raising interest rates is a short-term concern, in our view. But, it could be seriously
aggravated if compounded by weak monsoons. 2009 was India's worst drought year. However, empirical evidence suggests that 2010 is
unlikely to be a drought year. Agriculture GDP usually recovers strongly in the year following the drought, driving up overall GDP growth
and stock market returns. There is a strong correlation between FII inflows and stock market returns in India. If FII flows to India were to
slow down or reverse, Indian markets could deliver negative returns. However, we remain positive on the prospects of FII flows into India.
Market valuations not cheap, but downside limited to 10%:
Following the 81% appreciation in the last one year, Indian markets are no longer cheap. In terms of P/E, the Sensex is currently at 17x
FY11E earnings - 17% premium to the long-period average. Likewise, in terms of P/BV, the Sensex is currently at 2.8x FY11E book value -
16% premium to the long-period average.
Even if the market were to revert to long-period average (LPA) valuations, the implied downside is only 10-15%. However, it could also be
argued that for the next 3-4 years, the market may merit premium valuations, as: (1) earnings growth rate of 23% is higher than the LPA
of 14%, and (2) RoE too is expected to cross LPA shortly. Therefore, current valuations might hold, in which case market returns should
track earnings CAGR of 20- 25%. We expect markets to remain range-bound in FY11 and choose stocks offering growth at reasonable
valuations for our portfolio.
