UBS Investment Research
DB Realty
Worst seems priced in

􀂄 Share price has fallen 51% over the past three months
DB Realty’s share price correction was due to concerns over: 1) the controversy on
2G licence allotments in 2008/likely penalties to DB Group’s associate company,
Etisalat DB; 2) a potential involvement in the loan syndication scam; and 3) likely
delays/cancellation of projects due to a change in Maharashtra’s chief minister.
The company has denied any adverse impact on its core real estate business. Our
discussion with management suggests the correction was an overreaction.

􀂄 Worst appears to be priced in
With the stock trading at a 66% discount to our revised NAV of Rs600.00
(excluding the Bandra redevelopment), a 52% discount to our bear case NAV of
Rs420.00, 1.2x FY11E P/BV, and much lower than the value of Rs320 ascribed to
ongoing/presold projects, we think the worst has been priced in.
􀂄 How negative sentiments can change
We believe negative sentiments have outweighed the fundamentals, affecting its
stock performance. However, sentiments could change if: 1) Mumbai and DB
Realty’s presales volume over the next three to six months grow 10%-12% YoY;
2) the company cancels the Rs8.53bn corporate guarantee that was given to its cofounders
prior to the IPO; and 3) it pays part of the FSI premium on the Bandra
redev colony project and enters into a private equity transaction to fund it.
􀂄 Valuation: lower price target from Rs560.00 to Rs360.00
We view DB Realty as a good proxy to Mumbai, which is demand resilient. We
believe attractive valuations outweigh the risks, even as we lower our price target
on a 40% discount (30% earlier) to our NAV estimate of Rs600.00, factoring in
negative stock sentiment, policy/absorption concerns in Mumbai and lower risk
appetites.
