IIFL has recommended a buy rating on United Phosphorous (UPL) with a 12 months target price of Rs 373 in its September 4, 2008 research report. “UPL management’s upbeat commentary on outlook and strong revenue growth indicates a healthy demand environment for agricultural inputs. On the other hand, supply and cost pressures on raw materials remain an overhang on agro-chemical suppliers. We expect UPL to report better return ratios from FY09, as cost savings from Cerexagri restructuring begin to accrue. The company should also benefit from rupee depreciation, given its net exposure of 27% to forex earnings. UPL’s cash position remains comfortable following the recent equity infusion, which should support near term acquisitions and organic investments, Buy,” says IIFL’s research report.

As per our DCF methodology, we have valued SEL’s BOT business at Rs320 per share.

IIFL has recommended a buy rating on Axis Bank with a 12-month target price of Rs 904 in its September 4, 2008 research report. “Axis Bank has a first-class track record in managing its asset quality, as its incremental slippages for the last two years have been significantly below its peers, including HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank. Its gross NPL ratio of 1.04% is also the lowest among peers, so the 29% QoQ rise in 1QFY09 NPLs came from a low base. Although we expect NPLs to peak in the next 1-2 quarters, this should not detract from the still-positive story of a bank that we believe is set for a strong 33% CAGR in earnings over FY08-10ii and rising ROE. The stock has underperformed its peers in the last six months and is currently trades at 2.7x FY09ii PB, a significant discount to HDFC Bank (3.9x FY09ii PB). Buy 12-month target price of Rs 904,” says IIFL’s research report.

Motilal Oswal has maintained its buy rating on Piramal Healthcare in its August 25, 2008 research report. “The macro environment for CRAMS business remains very favourable given India’s inherent cost advantages and chemistry skills. We believe that PHL will be a key beneficiary of the increased outsourcing from India, given the strong MNC relations which the company enjoys. We believe that PHL’s CRAMS business is gaining increased traction with more products being added to its CRAMS portfolio. Based our revised estimates, PHL is currently valued at 16.2x FY09E and 13.2x FY10E earnings. We believe that valuations do not fully reflect the scaling up of the CRAMS business and the expected benefits from acquired companies. Maintain Buy,” says Motilal Oswal’s research report.
