Buy Tata steel - Recommends Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs has raised its 12-month price target for Tata Steel to Rs 774 from Rs 761 and maintained its "buy" rating on the stock following better-than-expected quarterly earnings.

Tata Steel, the world's No.7 steelmaker, net profit after taxes jumped about 72% to Rs 4,178 crore ($937 million) in its fourth quarter.

Tata Steel FY 11 Results & Valuation

Tata Steel registered full-year (April-March) consolidated net profit of Rs 8,983 crore compared with a net loss of Rs 2,009 crore last year on back of higher volumes, improved product-mix and higher realisations. The profit was also boosted by a one-time gains of Rs 2,091 crore from sales of Teesside Cast Products in February 2010.Total income of the company rose to Rs 1.19 lakh crore from Rs 1.03 lakh crore.

　

At the CMP of Rs. 572 the company commands a Market cap of approx Rs. 55,000 crores which is half the consolidated sales revenue reported by the company.

Based on PE multiple the stock is trading at the current year multiples of around 6 including exceptional income while it is trading at a PE of 7.9 if we exclude the one time income from the sale of Teeside Cast products.

　

The stock is currently trading at attractive valuations and can give descent return from the current levels.

IT Industry gives record average wage hikes

For fiscal year 2011, the IT industry has given yet another supernormal wage hikes across all employee levels, thanks to improved demand outlook in US and increased competition in attracting talents.

IT biggies like TCS, Cognizant has given average wage hikes of more than 14-15%. Beside that, the salary level at which freshers and resources with experience range of 1-3 years were being hired has also gone up. Above that the bigger players like TCS, Infosys, Cognizant, Wipro, IBM, Accenture etc have been doing record hiring in the current fiscal and have got ambitious targets for the next fiscal as well.

All these cost push will hurt bottom lines of these companies in the fiscal year 2012. Smaller sized IT companies will suffer the most as they are not witnessing volume growth similar to bigger companies but their wage increases have been even more than their bigger counterparts.

Bigger IT companies like TCS & Infosys are trading at higher multiples which might contract going forward because of above concern, hence they can be avoided untill they correct to levels where they start looking attractive in terms of forward year multiples.

A forward year PE of 16-18 for Infosys and TCS would be good level to start buliding position.

Midcap IT companies are already trading at depressed multiples and they will continue to do so because of higher margin pressure that they will witness in FY-12. Here in this case much of a price correction is not expected but rather time correction will happen. Hence fresh investment can be looked into some of the high quality midcaps like NIIT Tech, Zensar, KPIT Cummins, Hexaware after a period of 6 months.

How Buffett does it

Warren Buffett key investment strategies by InvestorZclub

Trading Idea - Buy Voltas

Voltas witnessed sharp upmove of more than 6% on 20th May with very high volumes of approximately 3.9 million shares that changed hands on BSE and NSE together.

On the derivatives side the voltas futures saw cut in open interest of 18% which clearly suggests the short covering in the counter.

Voltas has been on steady downtrend since Nov 2010 and has fallen from the level of Rs.260 to Rs.162 in matter of 6 months. Technically the stock has taken support at Rs. 150 - Rs. 152 range and has bounced back twice from such levels in the past 3 months.

InvestorZclub believes that because of huge shorts that got piled up in the counter during this month the traders with short positions might rush for cover before expiry and hence the stock might rise a little bit more from the current levels. Short term Traders can buy the stock at current levels of Rs 162 for a target of Rs 170 in 3 to 4 trading sessions, keeping a strict stop loss at Rs. 159.
