SINT stock has corrected almost 17% over the past one week. It is now
trading at trough valuations (5.5x FY13E P/E), earlier seen during the 2008-
09 credit crisis. Stock price correction has accentuated in a weak market due
to expected MTM forex losses in 2QFY12 on account of un-hedged USD
denominated FCCB exposure. We expect operating profit in 2QFY12 to grow
18% yoy, driven by strong growth in prefabricated and monolithic businesses.
However, net profit is likely to decline 28% yoy on estimated Rs50MM MTM
forex loss. We reiterate our OW rating with PT of Rs250 based on 12x FY13E
P/E.
 What to expect in 2QFY12: We estimate revenue growth of 18% driven
by strong growth for monolithic and prefabricated business (which we
expect to grow 25%-35% yoy). EBITDA margins are likely to remain
steady, driving EBITDA growth of 18% yoy. However, a MTM forex loss
of Rs500MM is likely to pare net profit growth. We estimate 2Q net profit
to decline 28% yoy to Rs721MM.
 What has driven the forex loss? SINT has USD 100M of un-hedged USD
exposure on account of the USD225MM FCCB it raised in 2008. Of this,
USD60-65MM has been utilized on its overseas expansion and about
USD30-35MM is deployed in INR deposits. (The remaining amount is in
USD deposits). INR has depreciated almost 11% against the USD (from
Rs44.5/USD to Rs49.5/USD) over Jul-Sep 2011. SINT will be required to
provide for the notional MTM losses on account of the INR depreciation in
2QFY12.
 SINT is trading at trough valuations seen during credit crisis. SINT
stock is trading at 5.5x FY13E P/E, at trough valuation levels earlier seen
during the 2008-09 credit crisis. We note that our EPS estimates for FY13E
are 9% below consensus, assuming a decline in European business revenues.
We maintain our OW rating with a Mar-12 price target of Rs250 based on
12x FY13E P/E. Key risks include dependence on govt. orders, significant
slowdown in Europe, high working capital and investments in non-core
businesses.
