Ventura recommends buying of Garware Wallropes Limited.

We initiate coverage on Garware Wall Ropes (GRW) as a BUY with a Price Objective of Rs 124 (target PE of 8x for FY2012) over a period of 15-18 months. At CMP of Rs 79.9, the stock is trading at 5.7x and 5.2x its estimated earnings for FY2011E & FY2012E representing a potential upside of ~55.2%. GWR is a world leader in the synthetic cordage business with more than 8% global market share and is the leading player in the emerging geo-synthetics infrastructure space.

We expect strong earnings growth of 31.5% CAGR over the next two years on the back of steady growth in its cordage business (10% CAGR) and new applications, traction in its geo synthetic space (32% CAGR), modular capex (Rs 15 crore p.a.) from internal accruals and improved profitability despite loss of EOU status and tax shelter. In addition GWR is also looking at a tie-up with an international major for its foray in the waste management business. GWR has consistently paid out dividends to share holders and carries an attractive dividend yield of 3.08%.

Ventura initiated coverage of Arvind Limited.

Their justification for buy recommendation is presented below.

Arvind Limited is one of the largest fabric producers in India with 200 million metres of fabric producing capacity. With ~100 mn metres fabric capacity expansion getting operational in phases over FY2010-FY2013 and robust growth in Brands & Retail business, the earnings are expected to grow at CAGR of 74.3% during FY11-13.

Monetization of its 500 acres land bank is expected to result cash flows of nearly Rs 1000 crore over a four year period which would be used to fund the capex and retire part of the debt.

We initiate coverage on Arvind Limited as a BUY with a Price Objective of Rs 81 over a period of 15-18 months. At CMP of Rs 44.1, the stock is trading at 9.2x and 5.6x its estimated earnings for FY2011E & FY2012E representing a potential upside of ~83.7%.

India Infoline’s new stock ideas are presented here

Express Idea: Jayaswal Neco Industries – BUY

CMP Rs38, Target Rs45, Upside 18.3%

Jayaswal Neco (JNE), through the integration of its group companies, is transforming itself from a primary pig iron and steel casting producer to an integrated steel producing company. The company has also been allotted one coking coal, two thermal coal and seven iron ore mines to meet its raw material requirement. Of this, a thermal coal mine is already operational and two iron ore mines are expected to be operational in FY12. Operating margins are set to expand led by sales of finished goods and an increase in raw material integration. Our back of the envelope calculations suggest that the company’s bottomline would jump ~3.5x over FY10-12 led by commissioning of the iron ore mine in FY12. We recommend a BUY on the stock for a target of Rs45.

Trading Idea: GAIL – BUY

CMP Rs478, Target Rs545, Upside 14.0%

GAIL has underperformed the Nifty index after it hit an interim peak of Rs517 in June 2010. However, formation of flag pattern above the neckline support levels of inverted H&S indicates that the rally is in the middle phase and provides decent opportunity on the upside. We recommend traders to accumulate GAIL at current levels with stop loss of Rs450, for a target of Rs545 and Rs580.

Expectations of further monetary easing drove the S&P 500 to a four-month high, above a key technical level -- a possible sign of more gains ahead. Gold hit an all-time high on speculation the Fed may announce on Tuesday a move toward further monetary easing, which added fuel to the precious metal's drive higher. Prices of long-dated U.S. Treasuries climbed before the Fed's monetary policy meeting on Tuesday when policymakers could hint on the conditions for future purchases of government debt.

Responding to insistence from the international community, there is a move currently to issue all Indian citizens traveling abroad with machine-readable e-passports containing a chip with all biometric identifications such as fingerprints. Speaking at a meeting at Indian Merchants' Chamber, Mumbai's Regional Passport Officer Mr. Vinay Kumar Choubey said that his office would start issuing e-passports to fresh applicants as early as April or May 2011. This would greatly reduce immigration clearance time everywhere by 40%, he asserted. "In fact, in association with IIT Kanpur, we have already started issuing diplomats with e-passports, and their experience is that it has speeded up matters," he said.

Mr. Choubey spoke of a number of initiatives undertaken by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). One of these was to introduce paperless processing following a MoU with TCS. Submissions of fresh applications will be handled by TCS directly, wherein the applicant's details will be fed directly into the system, and supporting documents will be verified and scanned. The applicant would have to wait for a couple of hours while this was being done, during which he would meet first an Inspection Officer, who would verify the documents, and then the Granting Officer, who would either immediately grant a passport (subject to police verification) or reject the application. "Through this measure, and through closer interface with the police, our target is to issue a passport under the Tatkal scheme within one day, and the other passport within three days," Mr. Choubey said.

To mitigate the rush at the main Passport office in Mumbai, and to improve efficiency, two measures were simultaneously in progress. Firstly, a very large two-storey office was being built by PWD at Bandra Kurla Complex. Secondly, three Passport Seva Kendras would be opened - two in the suburbs, and one in South Mumbai, by next year.

"Even at present, we have eight centers to receive applications spread across the city-- five under police authorities, and three under postal authorities," he pointed out. "Some of these are at places like Chembur, Bandra and Kandivali. We also have eight police offices authorized to receive applications in Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg, Beed, Aurangabad, Daman etc. But still, applicants tend to come to our main Passport office in Mumbai," Mr. Choubey added.

In the course of the meeting, he detailed several other initiatives were in progress such as sending SMS alerts to applicants in case of objections, and Over-The-Counter handling for minors, public servants, tatkal and other cases where police verification was not required. "In such cases, if the person across the counter is satisfied with the details provided, a passport is immediately issued in a very substantial proportion of the cases," Mr. Choubey said.

Brokerages will soon have to send the brief details of every transaction in an investor’s account to his email address. The details will include what was bought or sold, with the price.

At present, the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange select 250 transactions per day and write to the investors concerned. Sebi has now decided that for investors without an email account, the number to be informed in this random manner should be raised to 1,000 per day. The rest will get emails.

At present, some brokers do send contract notes on emails, but this will now be made compulsory, with the mail to go soon after the transaction is done. This is to check unauthorised transactions by brokers in investors’ accounts.

Investors’ associations have frequently raised this issue. Says G S Sood, president, Society for Consumers’ and Investors’ Protection: “Most of the time, the hired staff of big broking houses do transactions in clients’ accounts to meet their turnover targets. If analysed closely, these transactions can never be done by a prudent investor, as they have been observed to bring no gains.”

To get more business, some big broking houses appoint people who manage to hustle investors into signing forms for opening accounts, with the other details being filled by the agents. “This is dangerous. Investors should be careful and fill up everything themselves,” said Sood.

He says along with emails, the brokers should be asked to send SMSes to investors for every transaction in their account, soon after the transaction. The issue has been discussed by Sebi’s Investor Protection and Education Fund Advisory Committee.
