Book Profits - Tata Sponge - Value Pick- Anand Rathi


Tata Sponge – Value Pick was initiated on 20Th Jan 2012 at a price of 253. CMP is 339, total returns of 34% till date.

Currently there is also Open offer, where promoters are interested to raise their stake.

Therefore we suggest the investors to tender to the open offer which is at a price of Rs. 375 which is at a good premium.

Recently the company also gave a good dividend of Rs. 8 which shows a total return of 37% till date on our call. We suggest clients to book profits/ tender to the open offer as we would like to close our call.

Favorable Risk and Reward – Attractive Valuation

With lot of cash in a Balance sheet ( Rs. 1.83 Billion ) and BV of Rs. 358 stock is offering ample margin of safety. Stock is currently quoting at TTM PE of 3.91 and TTM P/BV 0.78. At CMP of Rs. 253 stock is quoting at PE of 4.3x & 3.9x for FY 12e & FY 13e earnings.

Our estimated Book value for the stock for FY12e and FY13e is 378 & 433 and stock is quoting around 71% discount for FY13e P/BV. We believe stock is undervalued at CMP and offering good upside for long term investors. One should add the stock for a price target of Rs. 449 based on 5 years median P/BV multiple.


Thanks & Regards
