Hot picks for 2008

Rahul Shah, Head - PCG, MF Global likes Simplex Infra, Ankur, Alembic Drugs and Pharma, Sea Marine and Great Offshore, reports CNBC-TV18. He believes 2008 will be the year where mid and small caps will out perform the largecaps.

Q: Why have you chosen Simplex Infrastructure and what is your target for the same?
A: We like infrastructure sector because it has the visibility and the opportunity and within this, we like Simplex Infra, which is best positioned to take advantage of this.
Simplex Infra used to predominantly be in the area of piling and road projects; it has now moved away from that, which are low margin businesses and is focusing more on railways, irrigation, construction projects. We believe that it not only has the visibility of topline, but also the margins will improve over a period of time. The stock is right now at Rs 640 and will give handsome returns in the year to come i.e FY08-09.

Q: Why do like midcap pharma and what sort of growth rates can you set out for Ankur and Alembic?
A; We like the midcap pharma sector, because there are many companies with CRAMS and outsourcing area, which demand attention. Out of those we like Alembic and Ankur Drugs & Pharmaceuticals. Both are into a very niche segment and are at very attractive valuations. While Ankur focusses on CRAMS and outsourcing is available close to 8-9 times FY09, Alembic is a diversified play on Pharma with a topline as high as Rs 800-1,000 crore.
So these two by no means are small companies and they will grow much more than the frontline companies in the years to come and we believe that these two companies have the potential to appreciate from current levels.

Q: Sea Marine and Great Offshore, what is your call on them?
A: We are bullish on offshoring as a sector and within that we like companies like South East Asia Sea Marine and Great Offshore. South East Asia Sea marine had vessels on dry-docking for the last two years and the company could not deliver results as per expectations, but I guess dry-docking of most of its vessels is over and one may see a great momentum in revenues in the year to come. It is out an out asset play and we believe that there is great visibility of revenues. The oil ruling at this level gives a lot of comfort and they are available at attractive valuations.
All in all, we believe this sector will also fetch returns in the year to come.

Q: Do you think the midcap and the smallcap index will continue to out perform the larger indices as they have done for the latter half of 2007 or do you think that may not be the case?
A: I guess midcap and smallcap will out perform the largecaps, but the only thing is that midcap companies are an asset class in itself, there is dearth of liquidity and management track record is not clear in most of the midcap companies. So one will require great conviction and patience for having a multi bagger in your pocket

Crisil gives 4/5 rating to Rel Power IPO

Crisil gives 4/5 rating to Rel Power IPO

Rating agency Crisil has assigned an above average rating to the proposed initial public offering (IPO) of the Anil Ambani group firm Reliance Power that is estimated to raise up to $3 billion.

Crisil's 'four-on-five' grade indicates that the fundamentals of the issue are above average in relation to other listed equities in India."...strong demand for power will catalyse regulatory facilitation for private participation in the power sector over the medium- to long-term. In this scenario, early movers like Reliance Power will benefit from attractive business opportunities that are likely to come about as a result," Crisil said in a statement.

Reliance Power filed the draft prospectus for its IPO in the first week of October. The IPO is understood to have secured the nod of Securities and Exchange Board of India. The company proposes to issue 130 crore equity shares.Crisil grades IPOs on a scale of one to five.

Grade one indicates poor fundamentals, while five-on-five is given to an issue with strong fundamentals.The agency also said power generators in India will have to depend on state electricity boards for offtake over the short-to-medium term and their return will be subject to regulatory oversight in case of tariff-based projects.

Also, returns on the projects won through the competitive bidding route may not be substantially higher due to competition. Reliance Power has bagged two of the three ultra mega power projects awarded by the government so far.Besides Reliance, recent IPOs of software services firm Persistent Systems, steel pipe maker Precision Pipes and Profiles Company, and brokerage firm Edelweiss Capital have been assigned 'four-on-five' grade by Crisil.

However, participants chose to take positions in select blue chip stocks today on expectations of strong quarterly numbers. Though some prominent large caps found the going tough, several mid and smallcap stocks had a highly profitable outing.

A few blue chip stocks, including heavyweights Infosys Technologies, HDFC, Wipro, State Bank of India, Reliance Industries and HDFC Bank were seen struggling for support during the closing minutes of trade today, but then, thanks to strong and sustainded buying in Bharti Airtel, NTPC, ITC, Reliance Communications, ONGC and a few other front line stocks, the Sensex managed to sign off the final session of Year 2007 on a positive note today.
