Telecom: Ring Out the Old, Ring in the New Analyst: Hitesh Shah • Why are we bullish on Indian Telecom sector? • Declining competitive intensity as fringe players focusing on profitable growth; number of players down to 6-8, only marginally ahead of 5-7 in 2007 • Incumbents have gained market share despite being rational in the market place • Realization should see an uptick over the medium-term: freebies withdrawal, tariff increase and higher data usage • Valuations (5.5 – 6.0x FY14E EBITDA) offer 30-40% upside over the next 12-18 months • What is yet to be addressed? • Regulatory proposals like auction roadmap, re-farming, domestic roaming charges and M&A guidelines • Entry strategy of Reliance Infotel (Greenfield, Brownfield or only LTE) is still a black box • In our view, Greenfield entry in a mature voice market makes little business sense Source: IDFC Securities Research Note: Prices as of 4th April 2013

IT Services: Sentiment improving… Business to follow Analyst: Hitesh Shah • We are incrementally positive on the Indian IT Services sector • Macro data points to recovery in the US; pipeline/ sentiment has improved • Discretionary spend returning in most verticals in North America (excl. Investment Banks and Telecom) • S&P 500 operating EPS has turned the corner; Indian IT revenues is highly correlated with a 3- quarter lag • However, bad news is not over yet; CY13 IT budgets to be largely flat and deal closures are taking long • Stock picking is name of the game - we prefer “growth at reasonable price” • Pick stocks where improving macro environment is not captured in valuations • Tier1 stock returns to reflect earnings growth; some room for re-rating • Small-mid cap stocks to see valuation re-rating and earnings growth • Prefer Infosys (OP) vs.TCS (N) – Valuations to converge as growth rates converge • Sell HCL Tech (UP) – Hiring incongruent with deal win announcement • Like KPIT (expertise in Auto-electronics, JDEdwards and SAP) and Persistent (play on IP driven business) Source: IDFC Securities Research Note: Prices as of 4th April 2013
Capital Goods: No Recovery in Sight Analyst: Bhoomika Nair • We remain underweight on the capital goods sector • New project announcements plummet by 74% Y-o-Y suggesting a deteriorating capex cycle • Challenges in execution remain; projects under implementation but stalled continue to touch new highs • Investment concerns persist on matters such as land acquisition, environmental clearances, FSA’s etc • Overcapacity and regulatory hurdles to drive slower recovery in areas such as Metals, cement, refineries & power • Likely to witness slower order inflows and backlogs providing limited visibility for earnings • Recommend selling Thermax (extremely rich valuations and possible disappointment on order inflows) and Voltas (EMP cycle recovery to take time, margins continue to decline, higher competition in unitary cooling poses a risk) • Recommend buying Havells (for their strong brand and distribution network driving a sustainable 14% CAGR in earnings) and Crompton (since its risk reward is quite favourable with most negatives known and priced)
