PTC India reported a 43.7% rise in net profit for the second quarter of fiscal year 2011 compared to the same period last year. Trading volumes increased 21% year-over-year due to higher power generation and increased quantities traded under long-term contracts. The company maintained its leadership position in power trading but margins were suppressed by lower-margin cross-border and exchange trades. While revenues were flat, operating profit rose 28.3% due to lower employee costs from ESOP reversals. The company expects to maintain its lead in the industry and sees opportunities for growth through new business lines and subsidiaries.
Hero Honda reported a 12.1% increase in net sales for the second quarter of FY2011 but an 18.3% decline in EBITDA due to a 498 basis point drop in margins from higher input costs.

While volumes grew 8.7% and realized prices increased 2.7%, margins contracted as raw material costs increased nearly 500 basis points year-over-year. The analyst maintains a neutral rating and revises downward full-year earnings estimates due to lower operating margins and a cautious outlook on future market share.
HCC reported better-than-expected 2QFY2011 results with net sales growing 13.2% and operating profit increasing 28.6% over the previous year. However, the analyst maintains a neutral rating as the stock is fairly valued based on an SOTP valuation that considers construction, real estate, and road assets. While order books remain strong, the analyst is cautious about the optimistic valuation of HCC's Lavasa real estate project which faces environmental and land issues.

Petronet LNG reported lower than expected revenues for the second quarter of fiscal year 2011 due to lower processed volumes.

Going forward, the company expects further volume growth as new projects come online and higher trading margins will boost profits.
ICICI Bank's net profit grew 19% year-over-year due to higher net interest margins and a lower effective tax rate.

While fee income growth was moderate, operating expenses were controlled and capital adequacy remained high.
Bank of India reported a 90.8% year-over-year increase in net profit for the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, though profit declined 14.9% sequentially.

Asset quality deteriorated with higher-than-expected loan slippages during the quarter. While profit is expected to increase in the coming quarters, the stock is trading at a valuation that reflects this expected improvement in fundamentals.
SAIL reported financial results for the second quarter of FY2011. Net sales increased 6.6% year-over-year to Rs. 10,603 crore, above estimates, due to higher sales volumes.

The analyst maintains a 'Buy' rating, expecting growth to pick up in the second half as festival sales are recorded and price hikes provide higher value growth, while revising full-year estimates slightly to account for the disappointing quarter.

Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.
OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.

PTC’s 2QFY2011 standalone top line remained flat on a yoy basis at `2,469cr.
However, traded volumes, which are a better indicator of the company’s
performance, rose by 21% yoy to 7.7BU (6.4BU). Growth in trading volumes was
aided by higher generation in hydro plants due to good monsoons and increased
quantity traded under the long-term route. The company also indicated that it had
to lower the margins for the short-term trade (STT) route due to competitive
pressure, despite an increase in the cap on STT to 7paise/unit as against the
4paise/unit charged earlier. We maintain a Neutral view on the stock.
Bottom line up 29.3% yoy: During the quarter, a major portion (3.8BU) of the
traded volume was under the low-margin cross-border trade route (3BU) and
through energy exchanges (0.8BU), which in turn suppressed the company’s
gross margin (selling price per unit – purchase price per unit). The difference
between the company’s average collection and payment period reduced to five
days from eight days in 2QFY2011, which resulted in the company allowing
more rebates to customers. However, operating profit rose by 28.3% yoy to
`38cr, primarily due to reversal of employee stock option (ESOP) expenses of
`5.7cr. In fact employee expenses turned into negative `3.3cr in 2QFY2011
(v/s `4.9cr in 2QFY2010).
Outlook and valuation: We expect PTC to post top-line growth of 32.6% CAGR over
FY2010–12E. The bottom line is expected to grow by 43.2%. We have arrived at an
SOTP fair value of `137 for PTC. At the CMP of `134, PTC is trading at 27.3x
FY2011E and at 20.5x FY2012E earnings. Owing to the recent run-up in the stock
price, we maintain our Neutral view on the stock.

Conference call highlights
During the quarter, PTC traded 2BU under the bilateral route, while volumes
traded under CBT and from captive power plants stood at 3BU and 0.8BU,
respectively. Volume traded under the long-term trade (LTT) route stood at
1.5BU. The company also traded 0.8BU through energy exchanges.
Management indicated that power trading from the tolling projects with
Madhucon Projects Ltd. and Meenakshi Energy Ltd. would begin from
2QFY2012 and 3QFY2012, respectively.
During 2QFY2011, PTC signed PPAs and MoUs for 12MW and 150MW of
power, respectively. As of 2QFY2011, total PPAs signed by the company stand
at 14,000MW.
As of 2QFY2011, PTC Financial Services (PTC-FS), the company’s subsidiary,
has disbursed `419cr and `615cr under the equity and debt route,
respectively. In addition to the amounts disbursed, the company has
sanctioned `2,100cr under the debt route. Management indicated that it is
working towards carrying out the Initial Public Offer of PTC-FS by the end of
FY2011.

Investment arguments
Power deficit to encourage growth
The total volume of power traded in India is just 8% of the power generated. We
expect the volume of power traded to rise at a healthy rate of 14% due to the
continuing power deficit and increased power generation capacity.
Favourable government policies to aid growth
The National Electricity Policy encourages about 15% of new capacities to be tied
up in the short-term market. Growing emphasis on allowing open access to
consumers to buy power from producers in any state augurs well for power trading
companies.
In January 2010, CERC had increased the cap on STT margin to 7paise/unit from
the earlier 4paise/unit, which is a major boost to profitability, as the 4paise/unit
cap regime was inadequate to cover the operational and market risks borne by
trading companies.
PTC to maintain its market leadership position
PTC is currently the leader in power trading with a market share of 45–50%.
Going ahead, we expect the company to maintain its leadership position in the
power trading market due to its early-mover advantage and increased volume of
power traded under the LTT route, as close to 4,500MW of projects for which the
company has signed PPAs are set to be operational in FY2011 and FY2012.
Transforming into an integrated player in the power sector
Apart from trading power, PTC is also entering other businesses such as financing
fuel intermediation, power tolling agreements and consultancy. PTC-FS, the
company’s financial services arm in which it has a 77.4% stake, has expanded its
business considerably in the past one year.
PTC, through its subsidiaries, is also looking at acquiring coal mines abroad to aid
its fuel intermediation and power tolling business.
5. PTC India|2QFY2011 Result Update

Outlook and valuation
We believe PTC's emphasis on the LTT segment will help it in sustaining higher
growth going ahead. During FY2010, STT constituted 50% of the total power
traded by the company. PTC proposes to increase its power trading mix to 70:30
in favour of LTT. The company's increased focus on LTT is expected to provide
consistent cash flows compared to STT, as the number of units generated is
expected to be uniform, resulting in reduced volatility. We expect PTC to register a
32.6% CAGR in its top line over FY2010–12E, following the commissioning of new
power projects. We estimate the company’s bottom line to register a 43.2% CAGR
over FY2010–12E.
We have arrived at an SOTP fair value of `137 for PTC, wherein we have assigned
P/E of 10x FY2012E earnings from the core trading business (`66/share), while
investments in PTC-FS, Teesta Urja, Krishna Godawari and Athena Energy
Ventures have been valued at a P/BV of 1x FY2012E (`49/share). The cash and
liquid investments in the company's books are valued at a P/BV of 1x FY2012E
(`21/share). At the CMP of `134, PTC is trading at 27.3x FY2011E and at 20.5x
FY2012E earnings. Owing to the recent run-up in the stock price, we maintain our
Neutral view on the stock.
