Mastek Ltd -BUY


Target Price (Rs.) 210; Upside 25%



Investment Rationale:
Q2 FY11 Result Highlights: During the quarter Q2 FY11 Operating Income for the company stood at Rs. 149.8cr up by 0.6% sequentially and declined by 21.5% Y-o-Y basis, this decline is primarily due to decline in the revenue from Government vertical which was heavily impacted after the BT channel stopped outsourcing incremental work to the company, also there were delay in orders due to elections in UK. Company has incurred the losses of Rs. 27.6cr in Q2 FY11 as compared to profit of Rs. 23.5cr in Q2 FY10, this loss is mainly due to Impairment of goodwill amounting to Rs. 20.7cr and higher depreciation of Rs. 2.4cr. During the quarter company have added 2 new clients and the current order book stood at Rs. 296cr.
Inflow of fresh orders: Management has indicated that they are expecting the traction in order book. Mastek have done the partnership with one of the UK based company which will help the company to initiate projects from UK government. Also there was delay in getting orders from UK due to elections and also lot of orders was on hold, right now the things are stabilize and we believe company will get more orders by Q3 of this fiscal from UK as company has a very strong presence in UK.
Outlook
In Q1 FY11 management has indicated that the company is working on a margin improvement and serving better to the existing clients which will help the company to come back to the healthy growth profitability. Considering the opportunity in insurance vertical in which Mastek has an ample of experience we advise our investors to buy the stock at CMP of Rs. 167.7 for the target price of Rs. 210. At CMP the stock is trading at price earning ratio of 15.3x at its FY11E EPS of Rs. 11 which is 15-20 percent discount to its peers. As on Q2 FY11 company has a cash and cash equivalent of Rs. 152cr, which is approximately Rs. 56 per share which is ~33.3% of the CMP


Trend in Order Book (Rs. in cr) :
Order book has seen declining trend on q-o-q basis, however we are expecting new order inflow from UK government


Revenue by Industry (Rs. in cr):
Sharp decline seen in government vertical this is primarily due to BT channel stopped outsourcing incremental work to the company, we expect this vertical to improve going ahead


 The stock has seen a sharp decline since Dec’09 from the 460 levels and is currently trading around 167.
 There are a series of positive divergence observed and there is a possible pullback rally on cards to 190-195 levels.
 The Prices are currently below the long term100 & 200 Dma.
 The intermediate trend remains bearish and the decline is likely to halt around the 140-145 levels.
