Post-market summary

Global signals

On Tuesday, March 16, 2010, the European stocks were higher in early trades, with financials advancing ahead of the outcome of the US Federal Reserve's policy meeting later in the session. At the time of writing this report, FTSE 100 was trading 0.64% higher.

The Asian indices ended the day on a mix trend. SGX Nifty closed 67 points higher.

US stock futures opened marginally higher on Tuesday ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting, on expectation that the policy makers will keep interest rates very low for a long time.

Indian indices

After having lacklustre sessions post the Budget, wherein the markets remained range-bound and the Nifty was not able to break the strong resistance of 5200, today, the heavy buying in the index heavyweights helped to bring in bulls on the festive day. Today, being the first day of the Chaitra month, and is celebrated as New Year's Day by Maharashtrians, the markets made a good come back after a long time. The Sensex had a marginally positive start to open at 17169, up five points on the back of the positive Asian cues. In the morning trade, the market was just losing its momentum and started to erase its gains gradually. The equities were witnessing a choppy session in the absence of triggers to drive it in either direction.

Oil & gas, and capital goods were the top performing sectorals indices while banks and FMCG slipped lower, till mid-after-noon. On the news that the Energy major, Reliance Industries, the30-benchmark index component, was out of race for the Canadian firm Value Creation, which it had bid for $2 billion, the company surged 3.80%. The markets took a sharp U-turn and the bulls helped to touch the day’s high at 17416. The Sensex ended the session 218 points higher, at 17383, while the Nifty finished at 5198, 69 points higher.


Market sentiment

The heavy buying activity was seen in the oil & gas sector. Of the 2,902 shares traded on the BSE, 62% (1818) shares advanced whereas 35% (1026) shares declined, while seventy-six shares remained unchanged.

Sectoral & stock screening

All the 13 sector indices closed higher, except fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) and PSU that fell marginally. Oil & Gas index leads the gainers chart, fueled by the Sensex heavyweight Reliance Industries that helped the index to spurt 2.78%, followed by metal that surged 1.73%.

The spurt in volumes helped Jai Corp to top the gainers list, surged by 13.43%, followed by Mahindra & Mahindra Finance that rose by 5.49% and Educomp Solutions that rose by 5.47%. The loser’s for the day were, NMDC that slid 3.16%, followed by Hindustan Copper that declined 2.82%, and Nestle India that closed 2.26% lower.

Viewing volumes

The continuous buying in Reliance Natural Resources (top gainer in the oil & gas sector), was the most traded share with over 0.52 crore shares changing hands on the BSE, followed by sugar manufacturer — Shree Renuka Sugars (0.45 crore shares), wind power major — Suzlon Energy (0.44 crore shares), India’s second largest realty company — Unitech (0.37 crore shares) and Jai Corp (0.31 crore shares).

Persistent Systems (India) IPO Analysis

Focused on outsourced software product development services

The company has good track record, except for the past few quarters, and holds good growth potential

Persistent Systems (India), promoted by technocrat, Dr Anand Deshpande, is one of the leading players in outsourced software product development services. The company designs, develops and maintains software systems and solutions, creates new applications and enhance the functionality of its customers' existing software products. Currently, the company is present in the telecom & wireless, life sciences & healthcare and infrastructure & systems space. It has been working on new technologies like cloud computing, analytics, enterprise mobility and enterprise collaboration. Along with services, the company has been acquiring intellectual property (IP) from its customers, sharing revenue with the clients. Currently, this stream contributes to about 7% of the revenue.

As of December 31, 2009, the company had added 251 new customers (net) since April 1, 2007, excluding one-time customers for license sales with a number of active clients at 270 clients. Top client contributed 9.98% and top 10 clients contributed 41.27% of the revenue for the nine months ended December 2009. The repeat business for the company is in and around the 90% levels.

The company had 4,639 employees as of January 2010. It added 430 employees (net) in FY 2010 till January 2010. The company is operating at high offshore levels. The offshore share of revenue is at 89.63% for the quarter ended December 2009 and was at 85.79% for the year ended March 2009. Time & material (T&M) contracts contribute 76% of the revenue, fixed price contributed 17.1%, and licensing products 7% for the nine months ended December 2009. For the year ended March 2009, T&M contracts contributed 80.5% of the revenue, fixed price 14.3%, and licensing products 5.2%.

Geographically, for the nine months ended December 2009, US & Canada contributed 84% of the revenue of the company, Europe contributed 9%, and Asia Pacific (APAC) contributed 7% of revenue. For the year ended March 2009, US & Canada accounted for 87% of the revenue of the company, Europe contributed 9%, and Asia Pacific (APAC) contributed 4%.

As far as industry verticals are concerned, a major portion of the revenue accrues from independent software vendors (ISVs), which contributed 47% of the revenue, telecom contributed 24%, and practices, enterprise & solutions contributed 29% for the nine months ended December 2009.

The issue includes offer for sale of about 12.81 lakh shares by former employees of the company. Of the net proceeds of the issue, about Rs 76.02 crore would be used towards expansion of existing facilities at Nagpur and Hinjewadi, Pune, taking the total capacity at the two locations to 4,200 seats; about Rs 2.96 crore would be used towards fit-outs at the premises leased in SEZ at Hyderabad; and Rs 20.45 crore towards hardware at facilities. Post commissioning, the company would have a seat capacity of about 7,500 seats. It has facilities at Nagpur, Pune, Goa and Hyderabad.

Strengths

* International Data Corporation (IDC), a market research and analysis firm specializing in information technology, telecommunications and consumer technology markets, forecasts a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14% for research & development/ product engineering (R&D/PE) services, reaching an estimated US$ 65.7 billion by 2013. IDC defines R&D/PE services as the taking over of the R&D of a product in the company's value chain (in part or full) by a third-party services organization.

* Revenues have grown at a fast clip except in the nine months ended December 2009. Revenues reported a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40% in rupee terms and 38% in US dollar terms for the period FY2006 – 2009. Impacted by the slowdown, the revenues for the nine months period ended December 2009 were down 8.5% in US dollar terms and 3.4% in rupee terms.

* Along with services, the company, with expertise in developing products, is looking at growing its IP. It has been acquiring IP from its clientele and investing in them and selling on a revenue share basis. The share of revenue from IP licensing increased from 1.5% in FY2007 to 7% for the nine months ended December 2009. The margins from this segment are higher than services margins.

Weaknesses

* With the sunset clause expiring on March 31, 2011, the tax rate applicable for the company would increase to 20%– 25%, up from the current 6.5%. It would be at 9% for FY2010 and FY2011, and would move up to 20-25% post expiry of the sunset clause in FY2012. The capital expenditure that the company has undertaken is not in SEZ, except for about Rs 2.96 crore at the Hyderabad facility, currently a 200-seater expandable to 1,000 seats. This would still be only about 20% of the business.

* The outsourced product development (OPD) market is very competitive. Competition comes from OPD centric players, divisions of large IT companies (Indian & multinational), offshore providers in other low cost countries. Of the various IT services, the OPD services are highly prone to reduction in spend as companies cut down on launch of new products in times of economic slowdown.

Valuation

For the nine months ended December 2009, the company reported a dip in revenues of 8.5% in US dollar terms to US$ 89.98 million and 3.4% in rupee terms to Rs 429.41 crore mainly due to slowdown in the global economy. As per the management, the second half of FY2009 and the first half of FY2010 saw the impact of global economic slowdown and cut in billing rates. However, for the quarter ended December 2009, the company reported very good numbers, with sales of Rs 158.36 crore, operating profit margin of 24.7%, and net profit of Rs 37.01 crore (46% of the nine months net profit).

For FY2009, the company reported forex loss of Rs 87.40 crore, which included MTM losses on hedges of Rs 16.27 crore, forex loss on cancellation of forward contracts of Rs 25.87 crore, and forex loss from lower realisation of Rs 45.26 crore. The company has changed its hedging policy and is now taking hedges of about 40-60% of the net receivables for 12 months forward. It has hedges of US$ 77.75 million at Rs 48.5/US$.

At the price band of Rs 290 – Rs 310 and consolidated TTM EPS of Rs 24.7, PE works out to 11.7 – 12.6 times. Excluding MTM losses and forex loss on cancellation of forward contracts of Rs 18.87 crore, the consolidated TTM EPS moves up to Rs 29.4 and PE works out to 9.9 – 10.5 times. There is no direct comparable company. But Mindtree, which has 45% of revenue contribution from product engineering services, is trading at TTM PE of 12.2 times. Geometric, which has 37% of its revenue accruing from OPD, is trading at a consolidated TTM PE of 24 times. On nine-month annualized basis, it is trading at 8.4 times.

Nifty moves past 5,200

The key benchmark indices hit their highest level in nearly two months in a late surge as encouraging advance tax figures of top Indian firms for Q4 March 2010 indicated better fourth quarter results. Higher European stocks aided the rally on the domestic bourses. Metal, capital goods, auto and consumer durables stocks rose. Two index heavyweights Reliance Industries and L&T surged. The market breadth was strong. The BSE 30-share Sensex was provisionally up 231.91 points or 1.35%, up close to 245 points from the day's low and off close to 20 points from the day's high.

After an initial rise the market pared gains in morning trade as some Asian markets reversed early gains. The market moved between positive and negative terrain near the flat line in mid-morning trade. The market nudged higher again in early afternoon trade. Stocks extended gains in afternoon trade. The market hit its highest level in nearly two months in mid-afternoon trade. It extended gains in late trade.

The stock exchanges have revised the settlement schedule due to a bank holiday today, 16 March 2010 on account of Gudi Padwa, the first day of the Marathi New Year. As a result, investors were not allowed to sell shares today which they had bought in the cash market on Monday, 15 March 2010.

The Q4 March 2010 advance tax payment numbers of top Indian firms were encouraging. Reliance Industries has paid Rs 770 crore as advance tax for the March quarter compared with Rs 365 crore a year ago. Infosys' tax outgo has doubled to Rs 250 crore from Rs 125 crore. Tata Consultancy Services paid Rs 178 crore, compared from Rs 53 crore earlier. State-run Union Bank of India paid Rs 185 crore compared with Rs 253 crore a year ago. ICICI Bank's Q3 advance tax stood at Rs 350 crore versus Rs 250 crore a year ago. Asian Paints paid Rs 60 crore, versus Rs 43 crore year earlier.

State Bank of India has paid Rs 1857 crore verses Rs 1810. HDFC paid Rs 280 crore, unchanged from a year earlier. Tata Motors paid Rs 115 crore versus Nil a year ago. Bank of Baroda paid Rs 300 crore verses Rs 280. Zee Entertainment Enterprises paid Rs 97 crore versus Rs 109. Tata Steel paid Rs 513 crore versus Rs 406 crore. L&T paid Rs 270 crore versus Rs 275 crore. Bajaj Auto paid Rs 177 crore versus Rs 60 crore. M&M paid Rs 235 crore versus nil a year earlier.

Cement maker ACC paid Rs 330 crore compared to Rs 340 crore a year ago. Ambuja Cement paid Rs 120 crore, compared with Rs 125 crore a year ago. Aditya Birla Group firm Grasim Industries paid Rs 216 crore as advance tax in the period under review, as compared to Rs 65 crore a year ago. Life Insurance Corp of India (LIC) has paid Rs 864 crore as advance tax for the March quarter, compared with Rs 810 crore year ago.

On the macro front, the headline inflation topped expectations and came within touching distance of double digits in February 2010, making a rate increase by the Reserve Bank all but inevitable at its scheduled April 2010 policy review. Annual wholesale price inflation accelerated to 9.89% in February, the highest since October 2008 and well above the Reserve Bank of India's end-March projection of 8.5% and the 8.56% January reading.

The inflation data comes on the heels of a 16.7% annual jump in industrial output in January, with the unexpectedly strong economic pickup also backing the case for the central bank to raise policy rates by at least 25 basis points. The December inflation figure was revised upwards to 8.1% from 7.3%. Rising inflation and the government's plan to borrow a record $100 billion in the fiscal year that starts 1 April 2010, most of which is expected in the first half, have weighed on bond prices.

The borrowing plan complicates the central bank's job as raising rates aggressively would also push up borrowing costs of the government.

India would be only the second Group of 20 country, after Australia, to raise interest rates as the global economy recovers from the financial crisis.

The high inflation was mainly due to the continued rise in food prices, which climbed 17.8% from a year earlier in February and central bank deputy governor Shyamala Gopinath said price growth should moderate over time. Inflation in manufacturing accelerated to 7.42% in February from 6.55% in January, indicating that inflation has now spilt over to the broader economy.

Coming back to stocks, equities have witnessed a good post-Budget rally driven by sustained buying by foreign funds since the presentation of the Union Budget 2010-2011 on 26 February 2010. As per data from the stock exchanges, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) bought stocks worth a net Rs 8847.36 crore this month, till 15 March 2010.

The stock market has applauded the Union Budget 2010-2011 due to its thrust on infrastructure development, government's pledge to reduce fiscal deficit over the next three years, a smaller-than-expected 2% hike in excise duties, and reduction in taxes for individuals which will boost disposable income. The Finance Minister has assumed a modest GDP of about 8% and inflation of about 4.5% for 2010-2011.

Going ahead, the key triggers for the stock market are structural reforms such as decontrol of petrol and diesel prices, targeting of food subsidies, and financial sector reforms such as increase in foreign direct investment in insurance sector.

Europe stocks rose on Tuesday with markets awaiting euro zone inflation and the German ZEW survey of investor confidence, along with a decision on interest rates from the Federal Reserve later. The key benchmark indices in France, Germany and UK rose by between 0.75% to 0.89%.

Asian shares turned mixed after a firm start on Tuesday ahead of a Federal Reserve policy meeting later in the global day and the Bank of Japan (BoJ) policy decision on Wednesday, 17 March 2010. The key benchmark indices in Japan, Hong Kong and South Korea fell by between 0.09% to 0.28%. But, the key benchmark indices in China, Singapore and Taiwan rose by between 0.12% to 0.80%.

The BoJ has maintained its benchmark unsecured overnight call loan rate at 0.1% since December 2008 -- the same month Fed policy makers cut their federal-funds rate target to a range of 0% to 0.25%. Japanese central bankers are expected to discuss additional liquidity-boosting steps at their two-day policy board meeting, which started Tuesday. They will likely focus on a proposal to double the scale of a lending facility introduced in December, according to recent media reports.

It is widely expected that the US Federal Reserve will keep the fed funds rate, its key lending rate, at a historic low near zero when it meets on Tuesday, 16 March 2010. That means investors and analysts will again pore over the economic assessment statement the Fed releases. They will be looking for changes to the Fed's wording and its members' voting patterns to get a sense of when rates might go up.

It could take several months of solid, significant economic growth before the Fed starts to tinker with the language of its statement or interest rates. Consistent job growth is probably the single biggest factor the Fed will look at when determining when to considering raising rates.

Trading in US index futures indicated that the Dow could rise 18 points at the opening bell on Tuesday, 16 March 2010.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 17.46 points, or 0.16% to end at 10,642.15. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index edged up 0.52 point, or 0.05% to end at 1,150.51.

A rise in raw material prices coupled with costs associated with new emission norms could force them to increase prices further, which may hit volumes. The government raised excise duties on large cars and sport utility vehicles by 2%, which was immediately passed on by vehicles makers, including top carmaker Maruti Suzuki and utility vehicle makers Mahindra & Mahindra and Tata Motors. From 1 April 2010, all vehicles will have to comply with Euro IV emission norms across 13 major cities, adding to costs and setting the stage for another round of price hikes.
