We have high hopes for India: CLSA

We have high hopes for India: CLSA


CLSA, majority owned by Crédit Agricole (France), is one of Asia Pacific's most highly rated independent equity brokers and financial-services groups, focused on providing broking, investment banking and asset management to global corporates.CLSA Capital Partners is the firm’s alternative asset-management arm, comprising funds with more than $2.5 bn under management.

In an exclusive interview, ET NOW caught up with Richard Pyvis, Executive Chairman, CLSA Capital Partners on the East Asian models of growth, the 'middle class' purchase potential and other economic pointers in the Apac region.

Let us talk about demographics first. Here is how we see it here from perch here. Japan is old with China, of course the key demographic question is whether it is going to become rich before it gets old and with India, we are seeing an enormous bulge in the supply of young workers without nearly enough capital available to absorb them all, so are you seeing the demographic picture any differently from this?

Richard Pyvis : Yes, demographics is a really big issue affecting Asia. We have got one about a third of the world population sitting here in the region from India or out in the west through the Japan in the Northeast and the demographic across that region is quite different. If I start with Japan, Japan is a really interesting story because you have got a demographic profile shape like a champagne glass with very few younger workers coming into the available workforce. Interesting thing there of course is that with that lack of supply, do you need to have positive growth in Japan. Perhaps there is an argument that says that negative growth is a good thing or is a sensible thing.

Alternately, you have got to import labour. Then we zip over to China and China has a demographic list or little bit like that and I have seen some numbers that say that by about 2015-2018, we would start to get a labour shortage in China on the assumption that capital and technology remain pretty much as they are in their current application in China. That is likely to change and so any forecast on the Chinese demographic and its impact on its productive capability is probably going to change over the course of the next 5-10 years.

Then we will wonder how apart from the fact that you guys are way too good at cricket which causes me a lot of grief from time to time coming from Australia, you have got a fantastic demographic with an enormous supply of youth coming into the market and your challenge is really to enable the entry of that used into the labour market and to make sure that labour force is well educated and skilled as it can be so that India gets the greatest productivity out of that labour availability.

Coming to middle class theme that you have identified, where do you think that theme is playing out to its fullest potential?

Richard Pyvis : I could not help overhearing your earlier comments on FMCG sector in India and the same comments could probably apply right across the region, particularly in the younger population countries and in particular India and Indonesia. So that is certainly a sector that is going to benefit from increases in per capita GDP, increases in disposable income, greater propensity for consumption. So we are going to see that sector in particular benefit from this emerging middle class that is occurring right before our eyes right across the region.

Heard on st: Supreme Infra, textile stocks


MFs, HNIs lap up textile stocks on rally hopes

SOME mutual funds and high net worth investors (HNIs) are believed to be accumulating shares of textile companies, including Alok Industries. The stock rose 4.5% to Rs 20.40 in a weak market. Analysts expect shares of textile firms to firm up further supported by China’s pledge to let the yuan appreciate.

A stronger yuan would make China’s textile exports costlier and dent its pricing advantage over its competitors. But some brokers feel investors should use recent upsides to book profits, as China is unlikely to allow any major appreciation in its currency.

PMS heads of fund houses on the move

THE portfolio management services (PMS) divisions of select mutual funds are seeing changes at the top. Shahzad Madon, a senior official at ICICI Prudential Asset Management, is believed to have put in his papers. But it’s not clear where Madon, who was in charge of real estate fund and the PMS business at ICICI Prudential AMC, is headed.

Madon could not be reached for comment. Meanwhile, Mohit Mirchandani, who quit as head of equity at Taurus Mutual Fund recently, is learnt to have joined Religare PMS. It is also rumoured that Ashish Ranade, a fund manager at the PMS unit of UTI Mutual Fund, is joining the mutual fund joint venture between state-owned Union Bank of India and Belgium’s KBC Group.


Supreme Infra gains 35% in a month on FIs’ support

SHARES of Mumbai-based Supreme Infrastructure have gained close to 35% a month, driven by interest from some institutional investors and HNIs. The buzz is that the company is expected to bag some major orders shortly. It recently submitted its request for quotation (RFQ) for projects worth Rs 2,000 crore, which includes two road projects in Maharashtra and other projects in northern and central India.

The company’s current order book is about Rs 1,500 crore. The bids are expected to open in the next few weeks. A senior company official declined to comment. The stock rose 4% to Rs 260 on Tuesday. The company has recently issued fresh shares to fund part of its equity requirement towards one of its BOT projects, which it bagged recently.

Jhunjhunwala seen buying VIP Inds shares
High net worth investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala is mopping up shares of VIP Industries. Jhunjhunwala, who is also one of the major shareholders of VIP Inds, bought a sizeable quantity of the company’s shares on Monday. VIP shares jumped 8.2% to close at Rs 297.50 after scaling a new high of Rs 312.4 during intra-day trading on the BSE. The counter attracted significantly higher volumes of 22.8 lakh shares, compared to two-week average of 3.9 lakh shares. The acquisition of fresh shares led to an increase in Jhunjhunwala’s stake from 4.5% as on March 31, ’10 to 5.8% of the company’s equity.

Top i-bankers in demand despite weak market
The market has been largely tepid, of late. And fund-raising deals have slowed, but that has hardly dented demand for investment bankers. In the past many months, many top deal-makers have changed jobs. The latest buzz is that Sunil Sanghai of Goldman Sachs has quit. He is believed to be joining HSBC as managing director, global banking-corporate and investment banking. Tarun Kataria, who has been appointed by Religare Capital Markets as CEO, was the head of HSBC’s global banking and markets. Goldman Sachs’s India head Brooks Entwistle had roped in Sanghai when he was building the US-based financial services player’s Mumbai team.

Carrefour may get hold of Pantaloon’s ‘Bazaar’
Speculation that Pantaloon Retail is close to selling a large stake to French retailer Carrefour refuses to die. If market grapevine is to be believed, Carrefour will bring Pantaloon’s retail segments like ‘Big Bazaar’ and ‘Food Bazaar’ under its fold. While officials at Pantaloon denied any such development, analysts tracking the company are not discounting a “surprise announcement” over the next few weeks. Shares of Pantaloon ended marginally higher at Rs 415.20 on the BSE on Monday.

Check out India's Top 10 great companies to work for


ET Bureau

As before, the 2010 edition of "India's Best Companies To Work For" presents profiles the best. Our writers have spent time inside these organisations, interviewed CEOs, HR heads and employees to gauge what it takes to be the best company to work for.

The 2010 study reports on how companies have nurtured their human capital in the face of the downturn, while taking some bold initiatives to maintain the topline and bottomline growth.

There are companies out there which believe in the age-old 'home-away-from-home' principle and go all out to create a 'family' of workers, while others maintain a high fun quotient around their core activity.

Check out the top ten India's best companies to work for 2010:


Location: Bangalore

Profile: Online Search, Online Advertising & Online Applications

Number of employees: 1,259

Founded in India: 1998

Gender Ratio (F/M): 1:0.99

Voluntary turnover: 30%

It was an accidental misspelling that got Google its name but that's where the accidents end at the Google headquarters in RMZ Infinity, Bangalore. "Any good place to work is no accident," says Manoj Varghese, the APAC HR director. "And it's not just about beanbags."

Googlers work hard at making their workplace rock. At a time when break-out spots and recreational zones have started to become almost de rigueur, Googlers have taken it one step further: to the washrooms! (Read Full Story)

Wkly Tech Analysis: Further strength above 5300

The markets moved from strength to strength for most part of the week before witnessing some profit-taking on Friday. The fact that the Sensex was able to cross 17,300 with ease signals more hope for the bulls. The 17,300-level can now be watched as a support for the current upmove. On the upside, the index is likely to target 18,000-18,300 in the coming sessions.

This week, the Sensex finished with a gain of 506 points to 17,571. DLF led the gainers, up nearly 8 per cent at Rs 282. Larsen & Toubro, Reliance Communications and Sterlite rallied 7 per cent each. Infosys, Jindal Steel, ITC, Jaiprakash Associates, Tata Motors and HDFC were the other major gainers. Bharti Airtel, however, shed 3.5 per cent to Rs 265.


Next week, the Sensex is likely to face resistance around 17,800-17,870-17,945. On the downside, the index is likely to seek support around 17,340-17,270-17,195. Daily charts indicate near support around 17,480 (20-day daily moving average) and far off support around 17,021 on the weekly charts.

The NSE Nifty moved in a range of 182 points. From a low of 5,120, the index rallied to a high of 5,302, and finally settled with a gain of 143 points at 5,263.

Given the recovery in the world markets and renewed optimism among global investors, the bias continues to be positive. However, one needs to watch out for negative surprises in the form of either a surprise RBI rate action or poor monsoon for a change in bias.

The Nifty has been treading higher with support along its short-term (20-days DMA, or daily moving average), which is currently at 5,238. If the index breaks it, it could probably test its next significant support around 5,183. On the upside, the Nifty needs to close above the 5,300-mark for further strength.

From a medium-term perspective, the Nifty has considerable support around 5,100, and the upside target could be close to 5,400.


Two rocket stocks

Profit Track

18 June 2010

Oriental Carbon and Chemicals:
DOCCL has reported excellent results for year ended March 2010 wherein its PAT has zoomed by nearly 300%. EPS for Q4 alone is Rs 10. Stock is trading at just 4.62XFy10 EPS which is extremely low considering that OCCL is operating in a seller's market.

Further, OCCL has started implementation of new factory in SEZ in Gujarat which should be completed in 12 months. OCCL may achieve EPS of Rs 36-38 in 2010-11 and EPS of Rs 42-44 in 2011-12. Although, share price has touched a new high, still fundamentally OCCL is underpriced considering that company will continue to do well due to buoyant demand from tyre industry, expansion underway and payment of 3 dividends in 2009-10. Book Value is Rs 90 which should rise to above Rs 120/ as on March 2011.

Our price target Rs 175 in less than 6 months and investors holding it for medium term may get much higher appreciation.

Nahar Spinning Mills
Nahar has achieved phenomenal turnaround in 2009-10 wherein Nahar has achieved PAT of 53.49 cr and CASH Profit of Rs 123 cr (after paying income tax of Rs 27 cr). At PBT level, Nahar has achieved turnaround of Rs 105 cr as its PBT in 2009-10 stands at 80.60 cr as against loss of 25 cr in previous year.

Nahar is likely to earn Cash Profit of Rs 265-270 cr in 2 years (09-10 and 10-11) and current market cap is just Rs 290 crores. One of the top picks in booming textile sector. Investors may reap more than 50% appreciation in next few months. Scrip can even double in 12-15 months.
