Buy NIIT Technologies - Recommends InvestorZclub

NIIT Technologies, an IT solutions company, reported a 34.9% increase in its consolidated revenue for the year-ended March 2011 over that of the previous year at Rs 1,232.3 crore.The net profit of the company increased by 44.2% to Rs 182.2 crore.

The company has declared Rs 7.5 per equity share as dividend. The management is confident of improving margins on the back of its non-linear initiatives. NIIT Technologies is among the few midcap IT companies, which has shown tremendous consistency in their earnings performance in the last few quarters. It has shown a 9.4 per cent compounded quarterly growth rate (CQGR) in revenues and a 7.2 per cent CQGR in net profit.

At the current market price of Rs 194 the stock is trading at a PE multiple of just 6.3. The dividend yield at current market price works out to approximately 4% which is far more than the average dividend yield of other IT companies.

Considering the improved business outlook, lower valuation, high yield and several non-linear initiatives taken by the company, we think that NIIT technologies can be bought on declines with a 1 year target return of at least 50% from the current levels.

Crude falls below $100 - Great news for India

Crude oil and most of the other commodities were on free fall on 5th May becasue of weak economic data from Europe. US crude specifically fell the hardest and was down more than $12 at one point of time before closing down $9.44 to settle at $98.26. This suggests the huge speculative position unwinding in the commodity.

Additional pressure came from the news that OPEC was considering raising formal output limits when it meets in June to convince oil markets it wants to bring prices down and reverse the impact of fuel inflation on economic growth.


Oil is definitely on a strong tragectory but this massive fall will keep the crude prices under check for considerable period of time. This augurs well for India which is struggling to keep inflation under check.

Warren Buffet Biography

Early life

Warren Buffet was born in 1930 in Omaha, Nebraska, the son of a stockbroker and Congressman, and has become probably the world’s most successful investor.

As a boy, irrespective of his family background, he delivered newspapers to make extra money and this probably sparked his interest in the media where he has made several successful investments including the Washington Post Company, a stock that has made him a lot of money and which he vows never to sell.

Imbued with a determination to make good and an entrepreneurial nature, Warren dabbled in several part time businesses but his destiny was chartered early in the piece when, after graduating from the University of Nebraska, he studied business at the Columbia Graduate Business School under the legendary Benjamin Graham.

Working with Benjamin Graham

He tried to get a position with Graham’s firm and was at first unsuccessful. He finally got the job and, as he generously acknowledges, learned a lot about stock investment from The Master.

The tighter monetary policy have played spoil sport on Indian markets and the stock markets are heavily down today mainly draggged by the bank stocks

Lloyd Electric FY11 Results & Valuation

Lloyd electric & Engineering at the current market price seems to be tremendously undervalued in terms of price to book and PE multiples. For FY 11 the PBV and PE ratio of the company at the current market price of 62 are as follows:

Should one invest in banking stocks now?

Savings account deregulation is a fresh challenge that is emerging for all the banks and particularly those banks which has high CASA ratio as there will be compression in NIM once this regulation is implemented. Already banking stocks in India were at the top end of the Interest rate cycle 9 months back when the entire regime of loose monetary policy was about to end and RBI became hawkish on Inflation and started increasing rates. 

In an article dated 1st FEB 2011 "Banking stocks injured by tripple edged sword"  it was discussed how the pain on asset quality and lower NIMs will start getting reflected from the 4th quarter of FY11 onward which will take at least 6 to 9 months to bottom out. Only then the investors having 1 to 2 years of investment horizon should enter into quality large cap and mid cap banks. There is still enough pain to be witnessed by bank stocks going forward. So fresh allocation in bank stocks at this point of time should be avoided until both time and price correction happens and valuation on 1 year forward basis is compelling.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala Biography

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala is frequently dubbed “India’s Warren Buffett”, but in many ways the two could not be more different. The Oracle of Omaha is a teetotaller and a non-smoker. Mr Jhunjhunwala constantly alternates between his preferred 555 cigarettes, sweet chewing paan and Indian snacks. He is known for his taste for cigars and Blue Label whisky.

While Mr Buffett still lives in the same house in Omaha he had when he began, Mr Jhunjhunwala has moved his family into a plush flat in Mumbai’s upmarket Malabar Hill neighbourhood. Like Mr Buffett, however, Mr Jhunjhunwala is primarily a value investor and both are willing to share their investments and the rationale behind them with the public.

Citigroup downgrades BHEL, revises target to 2202

Citigroup has downgraded Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) to 'hold' from 'buy' and cut its target price to 2,202 rupees from 2,785 rupees because it sees the power equipment maker's order backlog declining from FY13.

"Increasing competition intensity in power generation equipment and imposition of 20 percent duties on imported equipment could lead to de-rating of the stock," Citi said.
