The document discusses the Indian government's decision to deregulate petrol prices and increase prices for other petroleum products like diesel, kerosene, and LPG. Specifically:
- The government freed petrol prices from controls and immediately increased petrol prices by Rs3.7/liter. Diesel prices rose by Rs2/liter and will be deregulated gradually.
- Domestic LPG prices increased by Rs35/cylinder and kerosene by Rs3/liter, but these fuels will remain subsidized.
- The deregulation of petrol was expected, but the increases to diesel, LPG, and kerosene prices surprised analysts positively. However, the lack of a timeline for diesel deregulation
The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) has announced provisional tariffs for GAIL India's key pipelines that are higher than previous estimates. For GAIL's older HBJ-GREP-DVPL pipeline, the tariff has been set at Rs. 25.46/mmbtu, a 10.6% decline from the current rate but still higher than estimates. For the DVPL/GREP expansion, the tariff has been set significantly higher at Rs. 53.65/mmbtu, an 88.4% increase over current rates. As a result, the analyst has revised earnings estimates upward and upgraded their recommendation on GAIL India stock to "Buy" with
GAIL India reported strong financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, with net profits increasing 44.6% over the same period last year to Rs911 crore, exceeding analyst estimates. Operational performance was positive across most business segments due to higher volumes and sales. While natural gas transmission revenues and petrochemical sales grew substantially year-over-year, a lower-than-expected subsidy provision contributed significantly to the increased bottom line. The analyst maintains a 'Buy' recommendation on GAIL India based on expectations of further growth potential from expanding transmission operations and potential subsidy reforms.
IGL reported a 27.7% year-over-year increase in net profit to Rs51.5cr for the fourth quarter of FY2010, which was lower than expected due to lower gross gas margins and slower CNG volume growth quarter-over-quarter. Operating margins expanded by 75 basis points year-over-year to 32.6% due to revenue growth and recovery of overdrawl charges. However, concerns remain regarding the sustainability of high margins given IGL's reliance on subsidized gas prices. The analyst recommends reducing exposure to the stock and sets a target price of Rs210.
GAIL reported strong financial results for the 1st quarter of FY2011. Revenues grew 17.8% year-over-year to Rs. 7,096 crore, exceeding estimates, driven by growth in the natural gas transmission, trading and LPG segments. Operating profit margin expanded 252 basis points to 20.2% due to higher volumes, tariffs and margins across segments, with the exception of petrochemicals. Net profit increased 35.2% to Rs. 887 crore, in line with estimates, as a result of the revenue and margin growth. The company maintained its strong performance across key business segments.
ONGC reported higher than expected results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 driven by increased net realizations and other operating income. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization were above estimates due to higher other income. Depreciation costs were also higher than expected. The company maintained an accumulate rating and target price of Rs1,233 based on the positive impact of increased gas prices and potential for further reforms in the oil and gas sector.
The Supreme Court delivered its final verdict in the legal dispute between Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) and Reliance Natural Resources Limited (RNRL) over natural gas pricing and supply. The court ruled 2-1 in favor of RIL, finding that the family memorandum of understanding that RNRL relied on was not binding and that government regulations take precedence. The court ordered RIL and RNRL to renegotiate their gas supply agreement in line with government rules within six weeks. This verdict removes the uncertainty around the dispute and is viewed positively for RIL, while being negative for RNRL. Analysts maintain a buy rating on RIL with a target price of Rs. 1,260 per share.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, Hero Honda reported a 20% year-over-year growth in net sales and a 49% surge in net profit, exceeding expectations. Top-line growth was driven by an 18.9% rise in volumes while bottom-line growth benefited from lower raw material costs and improved operating leverage. Going forward, the company expects to maintain its market share through new motorcycle launches but notes its domestic market share has declined in fiscal year 2010.
Ceat reported a 17.1% year-over-year increase in net sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, reaching Rs. 843 crore. However, operating margins declined sharply to 5.2% from 14.8% due to a 54.6% rise in raw material costs from increased rubber prices. Net profit fell 75.2% year-over-year to Rs. 15.3 crore as margins contracted. Despite the decline in margins, the analyst maintains a "Buy" recommendation on Ceat due to attractive valuations and expectations that capacity additions will help support future revenue growth as demand increases.
Essel Propack reported a 1QFY2011 sales of Rs332 crore, which was flat compared to the previous year. EBITDA margin declined by 100 basis points to 16.9% due to higher raw material costs.

The company remains focused on improving profitability through higher contribution from high-margin products.

1) IGL recently increased CNG prices by Rs.5.6/kg, more than offsetting expected margin declines from higher gas costs. This reduces risks to IGL's margins.

2) With gas prices frozen until 2014, IGL may not need major price hikes, further reducing margin risks.
3) Strong volume growth from new CNG vehicles and domestic PNG connections will drive earnings growth of 17.5% annually for IGL over 2010-2012.
4) Lower risks and higher earnings lead the analyst to increase their target price for
Indraprastha Gas Ltd.- Company Update-June 22, 2010Angel Broking
The document discusses an update on Indraprastha Gas (IGL). Key points include:
1) IGL recently increased CNG prices in Delhi by Rs.5.6/kg, more than offsetting expected margin declines from higher gas costs.
2) This eliminates concerns around IGL's ability to pass on higher costs without regulatory issues.
3) Strong volume growth from new CNG vehicles and domestic PNG, coupled with stable margins, is expected to drive 17.5% profit growth for IGL over the next few years.
4) The analyst upgrades IGL to "Buy" with a revised target price of Rs. 301 due to lower risks and higher earnings estimates.
1) ONGC reported lower than expected results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 due to lower crude oil and natural gas production as well as a decline in net realizations.

Using P/E basis, at the CMP the stock quotes at a FY16 P/E of 10.3. We think investors could buy the stock on dips to Rs.365 – Rs.384 band (~9.5-10.00x FY16E EPS and ~5.25-5.5xFY16 EV/EBITDA) for target of Rs.422 (~11.0x FY16E EPS and ~6x FY16 EV/EBITDA) over the next 1 quarter.
Gujarat Gas reported a 2.1% quarter-on-quarter increase in net operating income to Rs419 crore for 2QCY2010, with net profit increasing 21.5% year-over-year to Rs58 crore. EBITDA margin declined 270 basis points sequentially to 22.3% due to a decrease in the gross gas spread. Average gas sales volumes grew 2.1% quarter-on-quarter and 19.3% year-over-year. While top-line growth met expectations, bottom-line was marginally below estimates due to lower-than-expected EBITDA. Supply constraints are receding with improving domestic gas availability and subdued RLNG prices, supporting future volume
1) IGL reported a 43.5% year-over-year increase in operating income to Rs336cr for 1QFY2011, above expectations, driven by strong growth in CNG and PNG volumes.
2) Operating margins contracted 487bps year-over-year to 32% due to higher gas costs.

Petronet LNG reported lower-than-expected results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 due to lower re-gasification margins, an absence of spot volumes, and negligible tolling volumes. Revenues declined 10.1% year-over-year due to lower volumes processed and margins. Net profit fell 52.3% year-over-year due to weak operating performance, higher depreciation, and interest costs. Going forward, demand for spot gas is expected to increase in the second half of fiscal year 2011 as GAIL's pipeline network expands. The stock trades at a reasonable valuation and the analyst maintains an accumulate rating.
Coal India reported mixed Q2 FY16 results with revenue in line with expectations but profit below estimates. Revenue grew 8.2% YoY to Rs. 169,575.9 million due to a 2.7% rise in FSA sales realization, but e-auction realization crashed 28.4% YoY. Lower overburden removal expenses led to a 140 bps rise in EBITDA margins but margins fell sequentially. Profit was impacted by lower other income and higher tax rate though still up 15.2% YoY. Subdued e-auction prices and potential stake sale remain concerns. The analyst maintains a 'Buy' rating with a target price of Rs. 388 per share based on 17.
Colgate Palmolive reported first quarter results for fiscal year 2011 with revenues growing 13% year-over-year to Rs. 528.8 crores, slightly below estimates. Earnings beat estimates due to a sharp rise in gross margins of 662 basis points year-over-year. Volume growth was 13% overall led by 14% growth in toothpaste and 19% growth in toothbrushes. The analyst maintains a "Reduce" rating due to the stock being highly expensive trading at 23.4 times estimated fiscal year 2012 earnings per share given muted earnings growth estimates.
1) Colgate reported a 13.4% year-over-year growth in top-line to Rs. 516 crores, in line with estimates. Volume growth was steady at 11%.
2) Earnings grew 39.6% year-over-year to Rs. 114.4 crores, significantly beating estimates. This was driven by a 638 basis point expansion in operating margins to 24.1% due to higher gross margins.
3) The analyst maintains an 'Accumulate' rating and revised target price of Rs. 752, expecting the company to report a 15.1% CAGR in revenue through FY2012, while margins remain stable.

TENAGA NASIONAL reported a loss of RM944.1 million in 1Q09 due to higher fuel costs, IPP payments, and foreign exchange losses as the RM weakened against the USD and JPY. Margins declined significantly from 40.3% to 21.5% year-over-year. The analyst revised FY09 forecasts and cut the target price to RM6.20 due to pressure on margins from rising costs and slower demand growth. Maintaining a NEUTRAL rating, key downside risks were seen as high IPP payments, a weaker RM, and potential electricity tariff cuts without corresponding gas price reductions.
ONGC reported a 20.2% year-over-year increase in total operating income to Rs. 18,430 crore for the second quarter of FY2011, driven by higher crude oil prices and sales volumes. However, net profit grew only 5.9% to Rs. 5,389 crore, below estimates, due to a 86.8% rise in depreciation costs to Rs. 4,400 crore. While top-line was in line with expectations, the bottom-line was impacted by higher dry well write-offs. Ongoing reforms in the oil and gas sector are expected to boost ONGC's profitability and earnings growth over the medium term.

The Government of India has approved a hike in the APM gas price sold by ONGC
+91 22 4040 3800 Ext: 322
and OIL from nomination blocks from Rs3.20/scm to Rs6.82/scm. Prices are now
amit.vora@angeltrade.com
at US $4.2/mmbtu (pre-royalty adjusted) from US $1.9/mmbtu
earlier. After the hike, APM prices are now in line with EGoM-determined gas
prices for the KG-D6. APM gas prices were last revised in 2005. The move follows
the Finance Ministry's suggestion of bringing about pricing parity between APM
and KG gas in one swift move, rather than a phased increase in the APM gas
prices as was proposed by the petroleum ministry. The prices will be effective until
March, 2014 (FY2014).
In a related development, the cabinet has also approved the marketing margins
of US $0.112/mmbtu (Rs200/scm) for GAIL on APM gas marketing volumes.
Previous to this, GAIL did not receive any marketing margin on sales of APM gas.
Impact Analysis
We expect ONGC to gain around Rs6,086cr on the Top-line front and Rs4,047cr
on the bottom-line front during FY2012E, thus translating into an EPS gain of
Rs18.9/share. However, as we were building around a 15% increase in APM gas
prices over FY2010-12E, our Top-line and bottom-line for the company stands
increased by Rs5,039cr and Rs3,351cr for FY2012E. Thus, we expect an EPS
accretion of Rs15.7/share on account of the gas price increase to Rs6.8/scm.
We expect OIL India to gain around Rs941cr on the Top-line front and Rs622cr on
the bottom-line front during FY2012E, thus translating into an EPS gain of
Rs25.9/share. Given the fact that OIL India's net gas realisations were lower than
that of ONGC's APM realisation, it stands to benefit more on account of the increase
in the gas prices to US $4.2/mmbtu.
GAIL uses gas for its petrochemical and LPG operations; however, as it was not
procuring APM gas, the company is not likely to be impacted by the gas price hike.
Yet, we believe that the levy of marketing margins on the APM gas increased
GAIL's Top-line and profitability. According to our calculations, GAIL benefits by
around Rs344cr on the Top-line front and Rs239cr on the bottom-line front, which
translates into an EPS increase of Rs1.9/share (FY2012E), on account of the levy of
marketing margins on the APM gas supplies.
Outlook and Valuation
Consequently, due to the earnings upgrade, we have upgraded ONGC from

2. APM Gas Price De-regulation | Event Update
Government more than doubles APM gas price: The Government of India has
approved a hike in APM gas price sold by ONGC and OIL from nomination blocks
from Rs3.20/scm to Rs6.82/scm. Prices are now at US $4.2/mmbtu (pre-royalty
adjusted, Rs6.8/scm) from US $1.9/mmbtu (Rs3.2/scm) earlier. Currently, the APM
gas prices are Rs3.2/scm (at 10,000 Kcal) since July 2005. However, adjusted for the
calorific value, ONGC's realisations were at Rs2.88/scm (US $1.8/mmbtu). Although
there will be no adjustment for calorific value, companies will have to bear a 10%
royalty; hence, their net realisation will be Rs6.2/scm (US $3.8/mmbtu). After the
hike, APM prices are now in line with EGoM-determined gas prices for the KG-D6.
APM gas prices were last revised in 2005. This move follows the Finance Ministry's
suggestion of bringing about pricing parity between APM and KG gas in one swift
move, rather than a phased increased in the APM gas prices as was proposed by the
petroleum ministry. The prices will be effective until March, 2014 (FY2014). The APM
gas price is likely to be reviewed in April, 2014 (FY2015).
GAIL allowed marketing margins on APM gas: In a related development, the cabinet
has also approved the marketing margins of US $0.112/mmbtu (Rs200/scm) for
GAIL on APM gas marketing volumes. Previously, GAIL did not receive any marketing
margin on sales of APM gas.
Impact Analysis
Impact on ONGC: The decision comes as a big trigger for ONGC and Oil India, as
ONGC:
it substantially improves the profitability of both the companies. The move would
benefit ONGC, which had lost Rs4,745cr in revenues on selling 17.71bcm of gas at
the government's fixed rate in FY2009. The move would lead to some profits now
from the gas business for ONGC. The price hike is a pleasant surprise, both from the
quantum as well as the timing perspectives. We were expecting a gradual hike in gas
prices instead of an increase in one go; thus, the quantum of the hike is much higher
than our estimates.
However, as we were building around a 15% increase in APM gas prices over
FY2011-12E, our Top-line and bottom-line stands increased by Rs5,039cr and
Rs3,351cr for FY2012E. Thus, we expect an EPS accretion of Rs15.7/share on account
of the gas price increase to Rs6.8/scm. We have upgraded our EPS estimates for
ONGC to Rs123.3/share for FY2012E, from Rs107.6/share earlier.

Impact on GAIL: GAIL uses gas for its petrochemical and LPG operations; however,
GAIL:
as it was not procuring APM gas, the company is not likely to be impacted by the gas
price hike. Yet, we believe that the levy of marketing margins on the APM gas
increased GAIL's Top-line and profitability. According to our calculations, GAIL
benefits by around Rs344cr on the Top-line front and Rs239cr on the bottom-line
front, which translates into an EPS increase of Rs1.9/share (FY2012E), on account of
the levy of marketing margins on the APM gas supplies. Hence, we have upgraded
our EPS estimates for FY2011E and FY2012E to Rs28.1/share and Rs34.1/share,
respectively.

Impact on the Gas segment: We believe that the move is a step toward a uniform
gas-pricing policy in the country, which is likely to improve the competitiveness of
imported LNG. This move could also encourage state-owned gas producers to develop
marginal gas fields, which could increase domestic gas production, and benefit the
gas transportation companies such as GAIL and GSPL, apart from the producers of
the gas.
On the negative side, City Gas Distribution Companies, IGL and MGL, would be
adversely impacted on account of the gas price hike, as a large part of their supplies
are at APM gas prices. We believe that given the huge gross margins reported by
these companies on account of the benefit of cheaper APM gas in the past, it would
be difficult for these companies to maintain their margins. Moreover, given the natural
gas in PNG prices, on account of subsidised Domestic LPG prices, these companies
are bound to face pressures in the PNG segment. Currently, we await more clarity
over the increase in the prices of CNG for IGL before reviewing the stock. In case of
Gujarat Gas, given the fact that APM gas supplies form less than 5.0% of its total gas
sources, we do not expect the same to have any material impact on the company's
financials.

Impact on the Oil marketing Segment: There is no direct implication of the gas
price hike on oil marketing companies. However, given the fact that the APM gas
price hike was long overdue, this decision points towards the government's intent to
address the problems of subsidy-sharing and under-recoveries. As the government is
likely to consider the Kirit Parekh committee recommendations in the near-term, we
can also expect some of the recommendations to be accepted, which is likely to be
positive for OMCs. Also, the improved profitability of the upstream companies (ONGC,
OIL and GAIL) could prompt the government to change the subsidy-sharing mechanism
in favour of OMCs.
Outlook and Valuation
ONGC's stock price has corrected significantly on account of a flattish production
outlook and uncertainty over the government's policy action, resulting in a stagnant
earnings growth. However, after the APM price hike, we believe that the risk-reward
ratio is now favorable, with limited downside from the current levels. Moreover, the
chances of further reforms in the oil sector have strengthened after the bold decision
by the government. The EGoM is likely to consider the Kirit Parikh Committee
recommendations; thus, any positive announcement on the Policy front, which makes
the Subsidy-sharing formula transparent and crude-linked, will act as a catalyst for
the ONGC stock. We believe that the Increase in APM gas prices has provided the
required boost to the earnings growth of ONGC and provides a re-rating trigger for
the stock. At 10x FY2012E revised EPS of Rs123.3/share, we have arrived at a Target
Price of Rs1,223, which provides an upside of 10.3% from the current levels. Hence,
we upgrade the stock from Neutral to Accumulate.
GAIL's plan to double its pipeline capacity over the next 4-5 years will result in a
higher share of the Transmission Segment in its overall business mix. The assured
RoCE on pipeline investments reduces risks and provides a re-rating potential. Hence,
we expect GAIL to get further re-rated on its improving Revenue visibility, owing to the
increasing share of the Gas Transmission Segment in the Revenue and Profitability
mix of the company. We expect the share of the Gas Transmission Segment in EBITDA
to increase to 61.5% in FY2012E, from 41.2% in FY2009, on the back of a 32.9%
CAGR in Gas Transmission EBITDA over the period. Thus, the increasing share of the
Transmission Segment will result in GAIL being viewed as a utility company. GAIL also
has significant plans in the City Gas space. It plans to bid aggressively for City Gas
Distribution (CGD) projects across the country through its wholly-owned subsidiary,
GAIL Gas. We believe that the CGD business could be a value-accretive proposition
in the long run. From the near-term perspective, key triggers, in the form of clarity
over the Subsidy-sharing mechanism, coupled with the likely Marketing Margins on
APM, could act as positive catalysts for the stock. At the CMP of Rs442, the stock is
available at 12.6x FY2012E EPS of Rs35.2 and 2.4x FY2012E P/BV. We have valued
GAIL on an SOTP basis at Rs580/share (Rs553/share earlier). The core business is
valued at Rs448/share, E&P at Rs20/share, and Cash and Investments at
Rs112/share). We maintain a Buy on the stock.
