Infotech Enterprises reported modest revenue growth of 2% for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. Net profit increased 35% due to a 130% rise in other income and lower taxes. While revenue from the engineering and manufacturing segment grew 6%, the utilities, telecom, and government segment declined 6%. Looking forward, the company expects strong revenue growth driven by its order pipeline and improving business environment. The analyst maintains a 'Buy' rating with a target price implying 20% upside.

Sales were impacted by supply constraints in the vaccine segment. While operating margins improved, other income declined by 28.9% YoY.

Business growth was strong, with advances growing 35.7% year-over-year and deposits growing 27.3% year-over-year, driven by increased lending against gold and to small and medium enterprises. However, the analyst maintains a neutral rating due to concerns that the stock is trading at a valuation of 9.6 times estimated earnings for fiscal year 2012, which is considered expensive relative to peers and its own historical range.
For the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, Amara Raja Batteries reported an 8.7% increase in net sales to Rs. 392.5 crore, below expectations. EBITDA margins declined significantly by 909 basis points due to higher lead prices and lower realization from the telecom battery segment. Net profit declined 33.8% year-over-year to Rs. 31.6 crore. The company maintained its positive outlook for battery demand growth but expects current lower prices in telecom batteries to restrict earnings growth in the near term.

While revenue growth was slightly lower in rupee terms due to currency fluctuations, the company saw broad-based growth across services and verticals driven by improved client spending. Going forward, the company expects to see continued volume-led growth supported by focus on non-linear initiatives. The analyst maintains an "Accumulate" rating on Wipro stock with a target price representing an upside of 13%.
Ashok Leyland reported a 141.3% year-over-year growth in net sales to Rs2,939 crore for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, in line with expectations.

The stock currently trades at attractive valuations and the analyst maintains a Buy rating with a target price of Rs. 204.
Container Corporation of India's (Concor) 1QFY2011 results were below expectations due to lower lead distances and terminal charges pulling down Exim performance. Revenue grew 0.9% year-over-year to Rs. 916 crore, below estimates, with Exim revenue falling 0.6% due to lower realizations and rent. Modest Exim volume growth of 7.8% despite robust port growth indicates losing market share to private players.

Idea Cellular reported strong revenue growth of 22.8% year-over-year for the first quarter of FY2011, however margins declined.

While operating margins declined slightly, net profits increased 57% due to a 32% decrease in interest costs.

Operating margins expanded to 20.9% due to lower other expenses. Net profit grew 6.5% to Rs257cr from higher margins and other income. The company expects its new Indore facility to start contributing significantly over the next 6-12 months and sees this aiding substantial future growth. The report recommends buying the stock.
Hindalco reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. Net revenue increased 32.9% year-over-year to Rs. 5,146 crore, driven by higher aluminum and copper volumes and prices. EBITDA grew 9.9% to Rs. 832 crore while net profit increased 11.2% to Rs. 534 crore. Hindalco is expanding aluminum production capacity significantly over the next few years, which is expected to drive further revenue and profit growth. The analyst maintains a Buy recommendation on Hindalco shares.
TCS reported strong financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 that exceeded expectations. Revenue grew 1.1% over the previous quarter to Rs. 7,737 crore, driven by a 4% increase in volumes. However, currency fluctuations reduced realized revenue. Improved operating levers helped expand operating margins by 19 basis points sequentially and 368 basis points year-over-year. Strong other income and profit growth of 7.4% sequentially and 47.1% year-over-year exceeded forecasts. The company added over 10,000 employees in the quarter and closed 10 large deals.
Nagarjuna Construction Company (NCC) reported disappointing 1QFY2011 results with revenues growing only 8.5% year-over-year, below expectations.

The analyst recommends accumulating the stock given the better-than-expected performance and revised upward estimates.
Steel Authority of India reported a 1.7% decline in EBITDA to Rs. 1,843 cr for the first quarter of FY2011, below Angel Research's estimate, due to lower sales volume and higher staff costs. Net profit declined 11.3% to Rs. 1,177 cr for the same reasons. While steel prices increased, sales volume fell 15.5% from a year ago. Staff costs rose sharply due to additional provisions for employee benefits. Going forward, the company is expected to benefit from strong domestic demand, but capacity expansion benefits will only be seen after FY2012. Angel Research maintains a Neutral rating on the stock.
Graphite India reported a 66% year-over-year increase in 4QFY2010 sales, in line with estimates. Full year FY2010 sales fell 10.1%, lower than expected, due to lower production at the company's German facility. However, operating margins increased to a strong 29.4% for FY2010 due to higher realizations. Going forward, the company is well positioned for growth due to increasing demand from the steel industry and its capacity expansion plans. The report maintains a "Buy" recommendation on the stock based on its attractive valuation and growth outlook.
Crompton Greaves reported strong quarterly results with net profit growth of 39.9% year-over-year. While revenue growth was modest at 1.9%, the company significantly expanded operating margins.

Confirmation of Payee (CoP) is a vital security measure adopted by financial institutions and payment service providers. Its core purpose is to confirm that the recipient’s name matches the information provided by the sender during a banking transaction, ensuring that funds are transferred to the correct payment account.
Confirmation of Payee was built to tackle the increasing numbers of APP Fraud and in the landscape of UK banking, the spectre of APP fraud looms large. In 2022, over £1.2 billion was stolen by fraudsters through authorised and unauthorised fraud, equivalent to more than £2,300 every minute. This statistic emphasises the urgent need for robust security measures like CoP. While over £1.2 billion was stolen through fraud in 2022, there was an eight per cent reduction compared to 2021 which highlights the positive outcomes obtained from the implementation of Confirmation of Payee. The number of fraud cases across the UK also decreased by four per cent to nearly three million cases during the same period; latest statistics from UK Finance.
In essence, Confirmation of Payee plays a pivotal role in digital banking, guaranteeing the flawless execution of banking transactions. It stands as a guardian against fraud and misallocation, demonstrating the commitment of financial institutions to safeguard their clients’ assets. The next time you engage in a banking transaction, remember the invaluable role of CoP in ensuring the security of your financial interests.

A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

Top-line growth led by strong volumes in IT services
Wipro recorded 3.1% qoq (12.6% yoy) top-line growth, in rupee terms (IFRS
basis), backed by 4.6% qoq (14% yoy) growth in IT services revenues, which were
driven by 4.7% qoq growth in volumes despite the 4.9% and 1.4% qoq decline in
price realisations onsite and offshore, respectively. Higher volumes were on
account of new project start ups during the quarter mainly onsite, which impacted
the price realisation severely there compared to offshore. In US Dollar terms, the
company clocked IT services revenues of US $1,204mn as against guidance given
in the range of US $1,190-1,215mn.
The growth in IT Services was broad-based, and mainly driven by 18.5%, 9.7%,
3.7% and 2.6% qoq growth in product engineering services (PES), package
implementation (PI), ADM and R&D services, respectively. In terms of verticals,
growth was strongly driven by communication & media services providers (CMSP),
financial services, manufacturing and retail-transportation verticals, which grew by
6.4%, 6.4%, 5.5% and 5.1% qoq, respectively. In addition to IT services segments,
the consumer care and lightning, and other businesses also grew by 5.4% and

1.6% qoq, respectively. The IT product business de-grew by 6.5% qoq, but was up
by 13.4% yoy.
In terms of geographies, America, India and the Middle East and APAC, and other
emerging markets witnessed growth of 4.3%, 5.4% and 5.6% qoq, respectively.
Despite the ongoing crisis in Europe, the company witnessed slight de-growth of
0.2% qoq, while it grew by 16.2% yoy. In fact, Wipro won a large deal from one
of its European client, viz. Citibank to take over the ownership and management
of its data center in Meerbusch, Germany. As per the agreement Citibank will
lease back-office and data center space from Wipro for at least 30 months and
Wipro will provide Citibank with facilities management and IMS services during
the period. The Meerbusch Germany data center will be Wipro’s first facility in
Europe and will enable it to offer full portfolio of infrastructure management
solutions (IMS) to its European and global clients.
Overall, the company won seven large deals in average size of US $30mn and
added 22 new clients, taking its total active client count to 858 during the quarter.

Effective hedges contained adverse currency impact on margins
During 1QFY2011, Wipro recorded a 92bp qoq (196bp yoy) expansion in
overall EBITDA margins, led by all the business segments. Despite the higher
employee costs (with infused freshers hiring) and decline in pricing, the
company witnessed 37bp qoq (238bp yoy) expansion in EBIT margins of IT
services segment. This was mainly due to the positive impact of 60bp on
account of effective hedges, which contained the adverse currency impact on
EBIDTA margins during the quarter. The EBIT margins in IT products and
consumer care and lighting businesses also expanded by 111bp and 44bp
qoq, respectively. The company continued to witness strong sequential
ramp up in its fixed-priced projects mix, which was up by 30bp qoq to 44.6%
in 1QFY2011.

Strong operational efficiency boosts bottom-line
Other income declined by 26.9% qoq mainly due to gains from exchange
fluctuation in 4QFY2010, absent in 1QFY2011. However, on a yoy basis,
other income was up 35.8% due to higher interest income. The interest cost
increased by 70% qoq with increase in debt levels during the quarter. Further,
the effective tax rate was down from 20% in 4QFY2010 to 15% in 1QFY2011.
Thus, at the net level, the company reported 9% qoq (30.5% yoy) increase in
bottom-line backed by strong operational efficiency.
Strong manpower additions aided growth
Wipro made net addition of 4,854 employees during the quarter taking total
headcount to 1,12,925. The quarterly annualised attrition rate in Global IT
services was up at 23% (17.1% in 4QFY2010); however, on TTM basis, it
stood lower at 15.8%, yet higher from 12.1% in 4QFY2010. In BPO services,
the quarterly attrition stood at 16% (17% in 4QFY2010). The company has
strong hiring plans both for laterals and freshers going forward, with the
improvement in demand environment.
2QFY2011E revenue guidance at US $1,253-1,277mn
Despite challenging macro-economic indicators Wipro has given strong
revenue guidance for the IT services segment for 2QFY2011 in the range of
US $1,253-1,277mn, a sequential growth of 4.1 - 6.1%.
To address the attrition issue, the company gave 20,000 promotions with
effect from July 1, 2010 and will also award restricted stock units (RSUs) to its
middle management staff. Thus, adverse currency movement and higher
employee costs (with strong hiring and variable spends) would remain key
headwinds impacting the margins and bottom-line in 2QFY2011.

Investment Arguments
Broad-based volume led growth with uptick in discretionary spends and stable
pricing environment
The strong growth witnessed in Wipro’s package implementation service
revenues during 1QFY2011 reflects the pick-up in discretionary spends of
clients. Significant spend is currently happening in social customer relationship
management (CRM), which if it grows further as expected would certainly
assure strong top-line and better profitability for the company going forward.
Further, the consumer package goods (CPG), retail & transportation, energy &
utilities and the healthcare verticals are witnessing strong demand pipeline
and are expected to grow strongly. The financial services vertical is also
witnessing steady demand pick. The company is witnessing a stable pricing
environment from most of its clients with some expected to give an upward
revision going forward.
Non-linear initiatives to drive growth
Wipro’s non-linear initiatives include implementation of shared services model
thereby executing more projects without any major employee deployment,
which would result in costs savings. Other such initiatives include its platform
oriented integrated IT and BPO offerings and intellectual property related
revenues. Such offerings help to drive better profitability in projects without
incurring of additional fixed costs. The company expects these initiatives to
contribute ~14% of its revenues in FY2011.
Outlook and Valuation
We expect Wipro to record 18.2% CAGR in top-line, while bottom-line is expected
to clock 14.5% CAGR over FY2010-12E. The stock is currently trading at 19.2x
FY2011E EPS of Rs21.7 and 16.8x on its FY2012E EPS of Rs24.7. We have valued
Wipro at 19x FY2012E earnings (historical average of 19.5x during FY2002-
2010), and at 9.5% discount to our Infosys target P/E multiple of 21x (historical
discount of 4.5% during 2002-10). We maintain an Accumulate on the stock, with
a Target Price of Rs470, implying an upside of 13%.

We have upgraded our FY2011E and FY2012E top-line estimates, in line with
strong cues from management and the expected higher infusion of gross
manpower. Since the company has a strong hedge position (currently stands
at US $1.6bn), unfavourable cross-currency movement would have lesser
impact on EBIDTA margins as expected earlier. We estimate PAT to be higher
in FY2011E and FY2012E, compared to the earlier estimates, on the back of
better margins.
