2. Market Outlook | India Research
United Phosphorus - Initiating Coverage
United Phosphorus (UPL) ranks among the Top-5 generic agrichemical manufacturers in
the world. The US $40bn (CY2008) global agrichemical industry is dominated by Top-6
innovators, with a large share of patented (28%) and off-patent market (32%), with global
generic players accounting for the balance 40%. Additionally, with patents for products
worth US $3bn-4bn expiring during 2009-14, global generic players are likely to benefit
further. We expect UPL to post CAGRs of 9% and 17% in sales and PAT over FY2010-12E,
respectively. At the current valuation of 10.1x FY2012E EPS , the stock is attractively valued
as compared to its global (10.4x) and domestic peers (12.0x) and historic average (15.0x).
We Initiate Coverage on the stock, with a Buy rating and a Target Price of Rs226, valuing
the stock at 13x FY2012E EPS.
Global Generic Play: With innovators controlling US $13bn of the total off-patent market
worth US $29bn, we believe there is vast opportunity for generic players to increase their
market share. Moreover, with patents for products worth US $3bn-4bn expiring over 2009-
14, there exists ample growth opportunity for generic players. The industry also has high
entry barriers by way of investments, evident from the fact that 84% of the market is
controlled by the Top-11 players; while in the generic space, 61% is controlled by the Top-
5 players, including UPL. Amidst this scenario, we believe UPL, an integrated global
generic player, is well placed to capitalise on the upcoming opportunity.
Improving Profitability + Attractive Valuation = Good Value Buy: Over FY2010-12E, we
expect UPL to post CAGRs of 9% and 17% in sales and PAT, respectively. UPL's profitability
is set to improve with EBITDA margins improving on account of stable raw material prices,
pick-up in demand and restructuring of Cerexagri. We expect RoCE and RoE to improve
from 15% and 19% in FY2010 to 19% and 20% in FY2012E, respectively. At the current
valuation of 10.5x FY2012E EPS, the stock is attractively valued as compared to its global
(10.4x) and domestic peers (12.0x) and historic average (15.0x).
Cement companies put up strong show in May 2010
Cement dispatches during May 2010 signaled healthy demand from the real estate and
infrastructure sectors. Aditya Birla Group’s cement shipments in May 2010 rose 5.6% on a
yoy basis to 3.35mn tonnes, aided by capacity additions. However, the company’s sales
volume remained flat on an mom basis. Ambuja Cement, dispatched 12.5% more in May
2010 at 1.8mn tonnes against 1.6mn tonnes in May 2009. However, the company’s sales
volume declined by 5.3% on an mom basis. Jaiprakash Associates posted a 63% yoy jump
in sales in May 2010 to 1.3mn tonnes, aided by substantial capacity addition. JK Lakshmi
Cement reported a 12.5% yoy increase in sales at 0.36mn tonnes for May 2010 against
0.32mn tonnes in May 2009. On an mom basis, its sales volume grew by 5.9%.
IVRCL Infra bags India's largest toll road project from NHAI
IVRCL Group has bagged India’s largest toll road project of nearly Rs3,100cr from
National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). The length of the project is 122km and the
work scope includes 4/6 laning of H-17 section between Maharashtra-Goa Border to
Panaji-Goa-Karnataka Border. The project has a concession period of 23 years, with a
positive grant of Rs665cr. The highway project constitutes six-laning and four-laning works
