After rallying in the last week, the domestic indices loses its four day winning streak to close lower on Monday after the Reserve Bank of India unexpectedly hiked the repo and the reverse repo rate by 25 basis points.

Bears dominant in Asia


Most of the regional indices end lower on risk aversion

Asian equities turned in a mostly bearish performance on Monday with China continuing to buck up the weak global trend as risk aversion continued to take its toll on the broad market sentiments. Dollar stayed higher and commodities slid lower. A surprise rate hike by the Reserve Bank Of India late on Friday also played itself out entirely and hurt the risky assets.

The uncertainty over Greece issue continues. Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, on Sunday said Greece isn't in need of financial aid and that the issue shouldn't be at the center of an E.U. leaders summit later this week. The participation of Germany, Europe's largest economy, is seen as crucial to the creation of any backstop for Greece.

The Greek government has implemented austerity measures designed to slash the deficit to 8.7% of GDP this year and to less than 3% by 2012. The moves have spurred a series of strikes by the nation's unions. Greek officials have indicated they will go to the International Monetary Fund for assistance if they don't get details of potential E.U. aid.

The Australian share market closed lower on Monday with declines across all industry sectors. The market was waiting for the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) speeches by assistant governor of economics Philip Lowe and governor Glenn Stevens. Mr Lowe is due to speak on Thursday to the Australian Industry Group's 10th Annual Economic Forum in Sydney. Hong Kong's benchmark Hang Seng Index HSI ended down 2.1 percent at 20,933, the lowest since March 5 amid falling volumes as investors geared up for possible monetary tightening.

However, China proved a notable exception. China's key stock index closed up 0.22 percent on Monday, with banking stocks gaining as the market shrugged off a surprise rate hike in India. The Shanghai Composite Index SSEC ended at 3,074.576 points, its highest close in nearly three weeks, after edging lower early in the session but holding to a narrow range. New Zealand stocks also managed to end in green. The benchmark NZX50 index closed up two points, or 0.09% at 3233 as shares in market heavy Telecom recovered. After falling to a record low of $2.11 on Friday, shares in Telecom recovered slightly when the New Zealand stock exchange reopened on Monday.

In India, the key benchmark indices retreated from two month highs hit on Friday and snapped last four days gains on subdued global stocks on worries over Greece's debt crisis and surprise rate hike by the Indian central bank. The BSE 30-share Sensex was provisionally down 185.12 points or 1.05%, up close to 55 points from the day's low and off close to 165 points from the day's high. Investors offloaded shares after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) late on Friday, unexpectedly raised interest rates from record-low levels, citing intensifying inflationary pressures and a steady economic recovery.

The crude oil prices slipped under $80 as the stocks fell, the US dollar appreciated and the traders continued to cut positions after recent sell off. Crude settled at $80.68 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange on Friday, down 1.9% after a run-up earlier when prices approached $84 a barrel. Ongoing uncertainty over the handling of Greece's debt burden pressured the euro and lifted the dollar. A stronger dollar makes oil less attractive for holders of other currencies.

Market snaps 4-day rally


The key benchmarks ended lower on Monday, 22 March 2010, as gains in the preceding four trading sessions prompted investors to book profits. Stocks in the rate sensitive sectors bore the major brunt after Reserve Bank of India unexpectedly hiked interest rates. Besides profit booking, weak global markets due to worries over Greece's debt crisis also weighed on investor sentiment. The BSE 30-share Sensex fell 167.66 points or 0.95%, up 73.19 points from the day's low and off 148.61 points from the day's high.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) late on Friday 19 March 2010, unexpectedly raised interest rates from record-low levels, citing intensifying inflationary pressures and a steady economic recovery. The market had widely expected the RBI to raise rates soon, but the timing of its 25 basis-point hike for its key lending and borrowing rates, before April policy review, caught markets by surprise.

The RBI raised the repo rate, the rate at which it lends to banks to 5% from 4.75% and reverse repo rate, the rate which it absorbs funds from the system to 3.50% from 3.25% with immediate effect. India is the second major economy after Australia to start raising interest rates with signs of global recovery emerging and local price pressures picking up. China has raised its banks' reserve requirements but has left its rates unchanged.

The market cut losses after a weak start. It further timed losses in morning trade. It extended recovery in mid-morning trade. Indices were marginally lower in early afternoon trade. It weakened once again later. The market may remain volatile in the near term as traders rollover positions in derivatives segment from the March 2010 series to the April 2010 series ahead of the expiry of the expiry of the near-month March 2010 derivatives contracts on Thursday, 25 March 2010. The market remains closed on Wednesday, 24 March 2010, on account of Ram Navmi.

The government hopes to achieve the targeted Rs 40,000 crore ($8.8 billion) from stake sales for the fiscal year 2010/11, Disinvestment Secretary Sumit Bose said on Monday. We have already done Rs 24,000 crore ($5.27 billion) in government stake sales in the financial year ending March 2010, he added.

The government hopes to raise the share of manufacturing to 22% of gross domestic product, Trade Minister Anand Sharma said on Monday.

Meanwhile, the Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said today, 22 March 2010, he expected the economy to expand by 7.2% the current fiscal year that ends on 31 March 2010, and by 8.5% in 2010-11.

The wholesale price index-based inflation may fall on a likely easing of food and oil prices, a Reserve Bank of India (RBI) deputy governor K.C. Chakrabarty said on Monday. The bank was right on the curve regarding Friday's unexpected rate hike action and it could act any time, he added.

The headline inflation is expected to come down in two months and the winter crop is likely to be good, the plan panel deputy Montek Singh Ahluwalia said on Monday, after the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) surprise rate hike late on Friday. The RBI has to look at price trends, the underlying momentum (in prices) and not the annual rate of inflation and look at what else is happening and then make up its firm mind, he added.

The wholesale price index in Asia's third-largest economy accelerated to 9.89% in February, the highest since October 2008 and well above the central bank's end-March projection of 8.5% and the 8.56% January reading.

In the emergent scenario, low policy rates can complicate the inflation outlook and impair inflationary expectations, particularly given the recent escalation in the prices of non-food manufactured goods, the RBI said in a statement on Friday. While the recovery in growth has proceeded broadly along expected lines, the inflationary pressures have intensified beyond our baseline projection, the RBI said.

The central bank has been under increasing pressure to raise rates as inflation is nearing 10%. Key policymakers had said the RBI ought to carefully consider a return to normal monetary policy. The industrial output grew 16.7% in January. Between April and January, industrial growth expanded 9.6%. India is seen growing over 7.2% in the year to March 2010, and 8.5% the year after and 9% in 2011/12.

The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) rate hike will anchor inflationary expectations but there could be another increase in April when the central bank reviews policy, Kaushik Basu, chief economic adviser in the finance ministry said on Friday.

Meanwhile, Finance ministry and Reserve Bank of India officials will meet in New Delhi on 29 March 2010 to decide on the borrowing for the first half of fiscal year 2010/11, a RBI deputy governor Shyamala Gopinath said on Monday. India is budgeted to borrow a record gross Rs 4,57,000 crore ($100 billion) in the fiscal year starting 1 April 2010.

Encouraging Q4 March 2010 advance tax figures of top Indian firms, indicating good Q4 March 2010 results, had boosted the bourses last week. The market has also witnessed a strong post-Budget rally driven by sustained buying by foreign funds since the presentation of the Union Budget 2010-2011 on 26 February 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.

Global rating agency Standard & Poor's last week revised India's rating outlook to stable from negative. S&P affirmed long-term and short-term sovereign credit ratings on India. The revision in outlook by S&P reflects its view that India's fiscal position could now begin to recover and that its economy will remain on a strong growth path. The government budget targets a general government (including central and state governments) deficit of 8.3% in the fiscal year ending 31 March 2011, from 9.8% in the previous fiscal year, S&P said.

Even so, India's ratings continue to be constrained by the government's high debt burden and deficit, as well as India's weak fiscal profile, the rating agency said.

Intrasoft Technologies IPO Review


Intrasoft Technologies, promoted by Arvind Kajaria and Sharad Kajaria, was originally incorporated as Regency Extrusions & Plastics Private Limited in 1996 to carry on plastics business. The name was changed to Intrasoft Technologies in 1997. The company provides electronic greeting card services through the principal website, www.123greetings.com, which is one of the leading electronic greeting card websites. The domain name is owned by its subsidiary, 123Greetings.com, Inc, and operated by the company. The company believes that its substantial user base (65% women) and emphasis on enabling social expressions on celebratory and social occasions make online gifting and related e-commerce activities a logical next step for its website.

The company is, therefore, exploring the possibility of offering online gifting services on the website. Along with e-commerce, it is also coming out with new features like 123Greetings Studio, which allow users to upload their own designed cards, address book. By storing addresses and e-Invitations, users can send bulk invitations for parties, ceremonies etc. The management expects traffic to grow on the back of these features. The management expects the cost for setting up e-invitations at about Rs 8 crore.

The company derived 89.91% of its revenue from online advertising in FY 2009 and 85.92% in the six months ending September 30, 2009. All advertising is cash advertising. There is no reciprocal advertising. The advertisers are mainly from the entertainment, retail, IT and internet industries including travel, job, matrimonial and games portals. The company also receives additional revenue by providing certain software development services to third parties and advertising revenue from other websites. US contributed 50.63% of the revenue in the six months ended September 2009 and 67.26% for FY 2009. The management expects the share of revenue at 65% from US, 30% from India, and 5% from rest of world.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2009, around 147 advertised with the company and in FY 2009 149. The advertising contracts are for periods ranging from one month to a year. Advertising is mostly based on the fixed fee model based per every thousand times that an advertisement appears on its website (95.48% for FY 2009 and 98.71% for the six months ending September 30, 2009), with the remaining through the cost per click (CPC) model and cost per action (CPA) model.

The company also operates 123india.com, which offers news, finance, cricket etc. It also provides online advertising development, integration and customization services to clients. Because of the high cost of assimilating news, the company currently has no plans to monetize this website.

Currently, most of its content is in English. The company has a team consisting of 16 creative professionals, who develop in-house content including artistic, photographic and musical content for its electronic greeting cards. It has a range of over 20,000 electronic greeting cards covering over 3,000 every-day and seasonal categories including rich and diverse multimedia content and are designed to cater to varying geographical and religious celebrations, occasions and other events. The website is refreshed automatically every 15 minutes. The company uses a robust and flexible hardware and software technology platform to ensure that its website and its electronic greetings services are capable of supporting large and varying numbers of users. The company's cloud computing based technology platform hosts its data and applications on remote infrastructure and is scalable and availed by it as and when required. This enables the company to draw upon varying amounts of hardware and software resources to support the varying number of visitors to its website, preventing wasteful expenditure during times of low user traffic.

Strengths

* The company's website www.123greetings.com is one of the leading electronic greeting card websites. According to ComScore Media Matrix, as derived from comscore.com on February 2, 2010, the website was the largest (by number of unique visitors) electronic greeting cards website in India with a sum total of 1,50,33,248 unique visitors during the twelve months from November 2008 to October 2009. The company's website received a sum total of 20,83,30,810 page views and 186 million minutes during this period, according to comScore Media Matrix ,derived from comscore.com on February 2, 2010. Globally, according to comScore Media Metrix, derived from comscore.com on February 2, 2010, the company's website was the second largest (by number of unique visitors) electronic greeting cards website in the world with a sum total of 9,12,55,566 unique visitors, with an average of 3,96,910 daily visitors and a sum total of 16,11,78,000 visits during the twelve month period from November 2008 to October 2009.

* The company has seen good improvement in operating margins from 17.6% in FY 2005 to 26.3% in FY 2009. It has further gone upto 39.8% in the first half of FY2010. The company's cloud computing based technology platform hosts its data and applications on remote infrastructure, which is scalable and is availed by it as and when required. This enables the company to draw upon varying amounts of hardware and software resources to support the varying number of visitors to its website, while preventing wasteful expenditure during times of low user traffic.

Weaknesses

* Of the IPO proceeds of Rs 50.69 – Rs 53.65 crore, about Rs 20.36 crore are to be used towards brand & promotion and Rs 13 crore is to set up of corporate office. This would go to the expense line items of the company. The company would be amortizing these over the next 5 years. The reciprocal growth may not be assured. The balance proceeds of Rs 15.53 – Rs 18.49 crore, after deducting for issue expenses, would go to the cash & bank balance and would earn investment income, which would pull down the return on equity of the company. This amount is over and above the net cash (after deducting debt) of Rs 15.58 crore the company holds.

* Advertising expenditure forms part of discretionary expenditure of most of the advertisers. The online advertising market is highly prone to economic downturns. The downturn would mean an adverse impact on the spending power of companies, which have increasingly become conservative in their expenditure.

* The market for online card is highly competitive. There are no substantial barriers to enter this market.

Valuation

Intel Capital (Mauritius) holds 12.2% of the post issue share capital at a price of Rs 109.57 per share. The money was invested in December 2007.

The company has treasury stock of 17.5 lakh or 11.9% of the post issue equity held in a trust. These shares can be sold by the company, which would lead to increase in free float at the stock exchanges.

At the issue price of Rs 137 – Rs145 on the FY2009 consolidated EPS of Rs 3.6, the PE works out to 37.9 – 40.1 times. On annualised half-yearly consolidated EPS of Rs 4.2, the PE works out to 32.6 – 34.6 times. However, annualising would not give a correct picture as the second half is better than the first half due to festival season. There is no comparable listed company. Such companies can get abnormally high valuations if they can report sharp growth rates on consistent basis and market conditions are favorable. However, till now, in spite of very small size (FY2009 revenue only Rs 21.39 crore), growth rate has not been exciting enough to justify the asking P/E.
