2. Market Outlook | India Research
Government approves SAIL divestment
As per media reports, the government has approved to offload 10% of its stake in Steel
Authority of India Ltd (SAIL), besides allowing the company to go for a follow-on public
offer (FPO) of 10% fresh equity. The ministry is understood to have proposed that in the
first tranche, 5% of the Government stake would be divested and another 5% by way of
fresh equity. The government currently holds an 86% stake in SAIL. By divesting its 10%
stake, the government is aiming to mobilise around Rs8000-10,000cr. The company will
use the FPO proceeds to part-finance its expansion projects that are estimated at
~Rs70,000cr. We maintain a Neutral on the stock.
Mphasis to acquire Fortify Infrastructure Services
Mphasis has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the Pune-based company, Fortify
Infrastructure Services, a global provider of Remote IT Operation and Management (ROM)
Services. Fortify has a revenue run rate of US $20mn annually and has been valued at US
$15.5mn in an all cash deal. Over and above this base deal amount, Mphasis would also
share earn outs till FY2012E if it manages to surpass the pre-decided financial milestones.
Fortify is serving over 50+ active clients, primarily in the BFSI, Healthcare and Hospitality
verticals. We believe that the current acquisition would provide a fillip to Mphasis’
Infrastructure business and also enhance its client portfolio. The deal is expected to
complete in the next six weeks and the revenue contribution would accrue from 3QFY2010
(year ending October, 2010) onwards. We believe that the acquisition will be EPS accretive
for the company, as it would bring in efficiency and increased scale to Fortify’s current
operations. Thus, we reiterate our Buy rating on the stock, with a Target Price of Rs872.
