Infinite Computer Solutions - Apply or Avoid ?
While Infinite Computer Solutions has a strong base of clients, improving margins and good growth prospects, the IPO pricing appears a bit stiff.
Mid-tier IT services company, Infinite Computer Solutions is seeking to raise Rs 190 crore from an IPO to partly fund its acquisition and expansion plans. The issue will also help Whiterock Investments, a part of Singapore-based Temasek which currently holds just under 10 per cent, to exit from the company. Of the Rs 190 crore, about Rs 95 crore will be available for the expenditure programme of the company while the rest will go to investors such as Whiterock and the promoters.
The promoter’s stake will come down from 72 per cent to 58 per cent on part sale of their equity holding and on an expanded base. The issue constitutes 26 per cent of expanded capital of the company.
Business model
Infinite has three lines of business or service offerings—application management or IT services, infrastructure management and product and IP-leveraged solutions. The company which counts IBM, Fujitsu, GE and Verizon, America’s largest wireless carrier, as its clients is focussed on generating business from large companies operating in verticals of telecom, media, healthcare and utilities. While Infinite has had to make do with smaller margins initially due to its Fortune 500 company focus, it has gained in terms of the size of contracts, experience in handling large projects and steady revenues.
However, analysts say that the company is taking a big risk on its thin roster of clients (the top 5 contribute 84 per cent of revenues, with Verizon alone contributing nearly 40 per cent) and can cause problems if vendors are switched or work is downsized. The company however believes that the scale, complexity and familiarity with the critical processes ensure the “stickability” of the vendor. The company also faces geography risk with 90 per cent of its business flowing from the US.
While the long-term outlook for software services is strong and recent uptick in hiring is a positive, the recovery in the US and other developed markets continues to be shaky. Though a predominant share of the future business will continue to come from the US, the company signed a multi-million dollar deal with a European company in 2008 and is looking to diversify its geographic risk further.
Acquisitions, expansion strategy
In addition to expanding its existing businesses, Infinite is looking at acquiring companies or intellectual property-based products from customers which can be developed further. About Rs 38 crore of the IPO proceeds are earmarked to fund its acquisitions. The company is keen to acquire IP-products and move to a revenue share model, which fetch good margins. Currently, only 5 per cent of its revenues come from this route. The company had acquired US-based company Comnet in 2006 to expand its offerings and tap the entire telecom value-chain rather than limiting itself to just telecom service providers such as Verizon. Infinite is likely to maintain its focus on the telecom space, which fetches it over half of its revenues, by offering IT and telecom infrastructure management solutions. It has four development centres across the country and plans to expand its existing campus at Bangalore and set up a new facility at Gurgaon at a cost of about Rs 26 crore. Further, the company plans to retire a part of its debt of Rs 24 crore through the issue proceeds which would be to the tune of Rs 8.5 crore.
Improving numbers
While the company’s sales, operating profit and net profit have grown at a rapid clip since 2005-06, much of the growth has come in recent times. Sales jumped 45 per cent year-on-year in 2008-09 to Rs 496 crore while operating profit margins went up 540 basis points to 13.2 per cent.
The company says that the jump in operating profit margins (which have since improved to 18 per cent in the first half of 2009-10) has been on counts of change in service delivery, segment and revenue model mix. At the segment level, the company has been reducing its share of application development and maintenance business from 80 per cent in 2005-06 to 61 per cent in 2008-09 and increasing its share of higher margin business namely, IP-leveraged solutions and remote management services.
Further, the contribution from the lower margin time and material or labour hour model has decreased from 81 per cent to 50 per cent while fixed price contracts, which ensure steady revenues and are a better bet in these times, increased from 19 per cent to 43 per cent during the same period. In terms of service delivery, the share of offshore business which was at 4 per cent in 2005-06 has increased to a quarter of revenues and has helped margins.
Valuations
Based on the annualised first half numbers, the company’s revenues will increase by about 28 per cent year-on-year to Rs 636 crore in 2009-10 and net profit by 65 per cent to about Rs 74 crore. At an EPS of Rs 16.9 on expanded post-issue equity, the stock is available at 9.17-9.7 times its price band of Rs 155-Rs 165. While there are no other similar-sized players with revenues predominantly from the telecom software space (larger companies such as Mahindra Satyam are in a different league), when compared to mid-tier companies the asking price seems to be a touch stiff. Infotech Enterprises (2009-10 estimated sales at Rs 945 crore and OPM of 22 per cent) for example despite higher sales and profit margins is available at similar valuations (10.7 times estimated FY10 EPS of 27.1). Also, the high client and geographic concentration substantially increase the risks to its business. Investors with a longer-term perspective may apply at the lower price-band.

The government will announce industrial output data for the month of November 2009 tomorrow, 12 January 2010. Industrial production recorded a robust 10.3% growth in October 2009.
India's December 2009 export figures will be positive, trade minister Anand Sharma said on Monday. Sharma told a banking summit that higher December 2009 exports are due to a low base. India's exports rose an annual 18.2 % in November 2009 to $13.2 billion, the first rise after 13 months of annual decline. Sharma also said that the government would spend $1.5 trillion on infrastructure over the next 10 years. Food prices are likely to come down due to good winter crop prospects and there was no need to import wheat and rice, Sharma said on Monday.
The finance ministry backs administrative steps to tame inflation and wants hike in policy rates only if food inflation escalates into general inflation, a media report said on Monday quoting Finance Secretary Ashok Chawla. The comments were in a proposal submitted to the Cabinet Committee on Prices, which is likely to meet this week, the report said. In order to augment supplies, all import duties may be suspended for the time being, may be till the end of the current financial year, the report quoted Chawla as saying. The finance secretary identified rice, wheat, pulses, potatoes, onion, fruits, milk, mineral oils, sugar and oil cakes as the "commodities of concern," the report added.
The government will present its annual budget in Parliament on 26 February 2010 and was aiming at enacting legislation in the second half of this year for introducing a new Goods and Services Tax (GST), finance minister Pranab Mukherjee said on Saturday 9 January 2010.
Mukherjee also said he is hopeful growth rate of Asia's third largest economy could touch 8% in the fiscal year to March 2010, faster than 6.7% in the previous year. With faster growth in output in recent months and rise in inflation, the government is widely expected to withdraw some of its fiscal stimulus in the forthcoming budget.
The economy is likely to return to an annual growth rate of 9% by the fiscal year ending in March 2012, Montek Singh Ahluwalia, deputy chairman of the Planning Commission said on Saturday. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Friday 8 January 2010 said he was optimistic that India, which along with China is leading the drive out of a global recession, could return to annual growth of 9-10% in a few years time.
Industry bodies have urged the government to extend fiscal stimulus by six months this year, but a 16-year high fiscal deficit of 6.8% of gross domestic product estimated for 2009/10, has left little room for extending tax concessions. Mukherjee said it would take 7-8 months for the government to bring in legislations for introducing GST, which was earlier scheduled on April 2010.
The government expects the proposed tax reform along with higher growth in the economy leading to more revenues and stake sales in state-run firms, could help lower the fiscal deficit in 2010/11 to an estimated at 5.5%. The government aims to sell shares of about 60 state-run firms in the coming years, with offers for power utility NTPC, miner NMDC, Rural Electrification Corp and Satluj Jal Vidyut expected by end-March 2010.
European shares rose on Monday, with energy companies and miners among the top performers, after strong trading data from China boosted sentiment. The key benchmark indices in France, Germany and UK rose by between 0.81% to 0.97%.
Asian stocks rose to a 17-month high on Monday as a strong rebound in China's exports raised optimism about the region's economic outlook as the dollar suffered following weak US jobs data. The key benchmark indices in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore and Taiwan rose by between 0.37% to 0.68%. But, South Korea's KOSPI reversed early gains, falling 0.07%. Japanese markets were closed for Coming of Age Day.
In China, the Shanghai Composite index rose 0.52%, led by brokerages and banks, after the government approved index futures, fanning speculation the new derivatives will boost trading volumes. China's exports climbed 17.7% in December 2009 from a year earlier, the first increase in 14 months, and imports jumped 55.9 %, the customs bureau said over the weekend.
Trading in US index futures indicated Dow could gain 48 points at the opening bell on Monday, 11 January 2010.
US stocks closed higher on Friday as December's unemployment report, despite showing job losses, was seen supportive of a slow recovery. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 11.33 points, or 0.11%, to 10,618.19. The Nasdaq was up 17.12 points, or 0.74%, to 2317.17 and the S&P 500 was up 3.29 points, or 0.29% to 1144.98.
St. Louis Federal Reserve President James Bullard said at a conference in Shanghai on Monday that US interest rates may remain low for "quite some time," easing concerns that the central bank could hike interest rates sooner than expected.
US interest rate futures, after a one-day hiatus, continued their trek toward very low short-term rates Friday as data showed that an anemic jobs market stands in the way of a robust economic recovery. The data revealed 85,000 jobs were lost during December 2009, much larger than an expected decline of 10,000. The government, meanwhile, revised figures to show that 4,000 jobs were created in November 2009, having initially estimated a loss of 11,000 payrolls during that month. The unemployment rate remained persistently high, at 10.0% in December 2009 versus economists' estimate of a 10.1% rate.
At Friday's settlement, the July 2010 fed-funds futures contract priced in only a 20% chance for the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to lift the Fed funds rate to 0.5% at its late June 2010 policy meeting. That's down from a 30% chance just before the jobs data came in. On 31 December 2009, the final trading day of 2009, July 2010 fed-funds had priced in a 78% chance for a 0.5% rate. At the time, there was more optimism about an economic recovery, and increased expectations that the FOMC would shift away from its easy money policies to curb inflation.
The Fed enacted a series of emergency measures to rescue the economy, including a move to reduce the funds rate to a lowest-ever range of 0% to 0.25%. The Fed has held the rate in that range since December 2008.
Closer home, the BSE 30-share Sensex fell 13.58 points or 0.08% at 17,526.71. The barometer index lost 39.50 points at the day's low of 17500.79 in mid-afternoon trade.

Software pivotals rose ahead of Infosys' Q3 December 2009 results on Tuesday, 12 January 2010. Infosys rose 0.98%. Its ADR rose 0.26% on Friday
Analysts expect weak performance from Infosys in Q3 December 2009 due to a firm rupee and hike in employee salaries. A firm rupee adversely affects operating profit margin of IT firms as the sector derives a lion's share of revenue from exports. Nevertheless, a favourable cross-currency movement will to some extent offset the impact of firm rupee and hike in salary bill. A number of analysts expect Infosys to revise upwards its guidance for the year ending March 2010 amid an improved global business environment. However, a section of the market feels that an adverse cross-currency movement will mean a muted guidance from Infosys for Q4 March 2010.
A total of seven brokerages expect a between 0.79% to 8.65% fall in Infosys' Q3 consolidated net profit as per Indian accounting standards at between Rs 1406.80 crore to Rs 1527.70 crore in Q3 December 2009 over Q2 September 2009. They expect a between 1.29% fall to a rise of 0.37% in revenue at between Rs 5512.90 crore to Rs 5606.10 crore in Q3 December 2009 over Q2 September 2009. It may be recalled that Infosys had raised salaries in October 2009.
India's largest software services exporter TCS rose 1.96%. But India's third largest software services exporter Wipro fell 1.03% even as its ADR rose 0.86% on Friday.
The rupee rose to its highest level in more than 15 months on Monday boosted by the dollar's fall against major currencies and tracking gains in local shares which raised hopes for capital inflows. The partially convertible rupee was at 45.32/33 per dollar, off the day's high of 45.2850, its strongest since 22 September 2008 and above its Friday's close of 45.75/76.

India's largest realty player by market capitalization DLF rose 2.18% after gaining 4.26% on Friday.

The Indian operations account for about a quarter of the group's total annual global capacity of 30 million tonnes, which includes unit Corus, Europe's second-largest steelmaker.
Auto stocks rose on expectations of strong Q3 December 2009 results. India's largest car maker by sales Maruti Suzuki rose 1.49%. Maruti Suzuki reportedly plans to bring out refreshed variants of its best-selling cars Alto, WagonR and Swift that may be cheaper than the existing models. The company said on Thursday, 7 January 2010 it had priced newly launched five-seater multipurpose car Eeco at Rs 2,59,000 as competition for low-cost vehicles heats up. Maruti Suzuki's managing director and chief executive officer, Shinzo Nakanishi was quoted by the media as saying on 5 January 2010 that the company will see flat to lower exports next year because of the scrappage of incentives by Europe. He also said there would be lower offtake from Nissan for exports as a result of the removal of incentives.
Nakanishi said the company aims to keep operating margins at 10% in fiscal year 2009/10 but profitability will be impacted by a rise in raw material prices and a rise in the yen.

Bajaj Auto rose 0.84% in volatile trade ahead of its Q3 December 2009 result on Tuesday, 12 January 2010. Bajaj Auto is seen reporting strong Q3 December 2009 results due to low base effect as sales in the year-ago period i.e. December 2008 were adversely affected by the global financial crisis. Increase in input costs will offset operating leverage arising from higher volumes, according to analysts.
A total of four brokerages expect a between 160.9% to 191% growth in Bajaj Auto's net profit at between Rs 428.60 crore to Rs 477.90 crore in Q3 December 2009 over Q3 December 2008.

The government will present its annual budget in Parliament on 26 February 2009 and was aiming at enacting legislation in the second half of this year for introducing a new Goods and Services Tax (GST), the finance minister Pranab Mukherjee said on Saturday 9 January 2010.
Pranab Mukherjee also said he is hopeful growth rate of Asia's third largest economy could touch 8 % in the fiscal year to March 2010, faster than 6.7 % in the previous year. With faster growth in output in recent months and rise in inflation, the government is widely expected to withdraw some of its fiscal stimulus in the forthcoming budget.
The economy is likely to return to an annual growth rate of 9 % by the fiscal year ending in March 2012, Montek Singh Ahluwalia, deputy chairman of the Planning Commission.said on Saturday. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Friday 8 January 2010 said he was optimistic that India, which along with China is leading the drive out of a global recession, could return to annual growth of 9-10 % in a few years time.
Industry bodies have urged the government to extend fiscal stimulus by six months this year, but a 16-year high fiscal deficit of 6.8 % of gross domestic product estimated for 2009/10, has left little room for extending tax concessions. Mukherjee said it would take 7-8 months for the government to bring in legislations for introducing GST, which was earlier scheduled on April 2010.
The government expects the proposed tax reform along with higher growth in the economy leading to more revenues and stake sales in state-run firms, could help lower the fiscal deficit in 2010/11 to an estimated at 5.5 %. The government aims to sell shares of about 60 state-run firms in the coming years, with offers for power utility NTPC, miner NMDC, Rural Electrification Corp and Satluj Jal Vidyut expected by end-March 2010.

Bulls seek a foundation!
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
Consolidation seems to be the name of the game as bulls seek a strong foundation amid uncertainty over the prospects for 2010. Bulls and bears both seem to be lacking conviction for the moment; perhaps waiting for further clarity on economic recovery and corporate earnings. Events scheduled for this week and the month could help shape the opinion about the outlook in near future.
IIP data for November will be out on Tuesday while the monthly inflation report is due out on Jan. 14. Infosys, TCS, Bajaj Auto, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank and UltraTech Cement will announce results this week. Later this month, the RBI and the Fed will hold policy meetings. The ECB meets on Thursday but is unlikely to alter its monetary policy just yet.
We expect a slightly positive start as most Asian markets are in the green. Things should turn choppy again later in the day. Strength in brokerages has lifted China and Hong Kong after Beijing approved index futures. Chinese exports have rebounded and imports too have surged.

JBF Industries
We recommend a buy of JBF Industries stock from a short-term perspective. It is apparent from the charts that in December 2008 the stock had bottomed out and has since been on a longer-term uptrend, forming higher peaks and higher troughs. While trending upward the stock broke through various key resistance levels. A significant resistance level at Rs 80 turned into a key support level. Taking support at this level in November 2009, the stock resumed its long-term uptrend. The stock's medium-term trend continues to be up since November. On January 8, the stock gained almost 8 per cent, accompanied with heavy volume, breaching resistance at Rs 110 and is trading way above its 21- and 50-day moving averages. The daily relative strength index is hovering in the bullish zone and weekly RSI also is featuring in this zone. The daily moving average convergence and divergence indicator is steadily heading higher in the positive territory. Considering that the uptrend-line is intact, we are positive on the stock from a short-term horizon. We anticipate the stock to rally until it hits our price target of Rs 124. Traders with short-term perspective can consider buying the stock with Rs 106 as stop-loss.
