KRChoksey on Indraprastha Gas - Target of Rs 130


KRChoksey Research has recommended a buy rating on Indraprastha Gas with a target price of Rs 130 in its November 13, 2008 research report. "IGL reported net sales of Rs 215.2 crore, up 23.6% Y-o-Y, on the back of increase in volume of CNG by 22.7% and PNG by 26.7% to 117.2 million Kg and 13.3 mmscm respectively. We recommended a BUY on the stock with target price of Rs 130, giving an upside potential of 23%. At the target price the stock would be valued at 9.0x and 7.6x its FY09E & FY10E EPS of Rs 14.5 and Rs 17.0 respectively," says KRChoksey's research report.



KRChoksey on Sanwaria Agro Oils - Target of Rs 45


KRChoksey has recommended a buy rating on Sanwaria Agro Oils with a target of Rs 45 in its report. The geographical benefits which the company enjoys on account of all its plants being located in the state of MP (largest producer of soybean seeds) is a key advantage over its peers. Further, SAOL will benefit from setting up of wind turbine generators which will bring down the operating cost and thus enhance margins by 230bps. We expect the profit margins to improve going forward as interest rates cool down."


"At CMP of Rs 32, the stock is trading at 6.4x FY08 earnings of Rs 4.98. We recommend a “BUY” rating on the stock with a price target of Rs 45 based on our P/E valuation, with an upside potential of 41% from current levels. At the target price, the stock would be valued at 6.6x FY09 EPS of 6.8," says KRChoksey's research report



Asit C. Mehta on Welspun Gujarat - Target of Rs 190


Asit C. Mehta has maintained its buy rating on Welspun Gujarat Stahl Roh with a revised target price of Rs 190 in its November 13, 2008 research report. "WGSRL has an order book of USD 2 billion, which provides revenue visibility until FY10. Current orders sufice current capacity. As new capacity becomes operational, the company should attract orders. However, with the current global credit crisis we expect new orders to come in at a slower pace."


"We believe that the company will benefit in the near term on account of the capex it has incurred in the pipes segment. We therefore maintain a positive outlook on the stock and reiterate a “BUY” recommendation with a revised target price of Rs 190, which is equivalent to a P/E multiple of 5 times its FY10E EPS," says Asit C. Mehta's research report.


Indiabulls Securities on IOC - Target of Rs 479


Indiabulls Securities Research has upgraded its rating on Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) to buy with a target price of Rs 479 in its November 26, 2008 research report. "With global oil prices at their peak in Q2’09, Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOC) reported a net loss of Rs 70.5 billion as it was unable to pass the full effect of the price increase because of government controls. We have revised our estimates to incorporate the effect of the recent fall in the crude prices and the depreciating rupee. Based on our relative valuation, we have arrived at a target price of Rs 479, which provides an upside potential of 17%. Thus, we have upgraded our rating on the stock to Buy," says Indiabulls Securities' research report.
