Hathway Cable & Datacom - Uninterrupted reception; visit note; Buy :: Edelweiss PDF link


Hathway Cable & Datacom (HATH IN, INR 233, Buy)
We recently interacted with Mr. G Subramaniam, CFO, Hathway Cable & Datacom (Hathway). The company is confident of seeding boxes within the October 31 deadline. It is well placed for digitisation as 75% of its subscriber base lies in Phase 1 & 2 areas. However, the full benefit of digitisation on subscription revenues in Phase 1 will be apparent only from Q1FY14 (lag of two quarters). With rapid digital subscriber additions, Hathway continues to execute the best amongst all MSOs. Maintain BUY’.

HOLD Redington India:: TP: INR 90.00 ::Religare research


Macro weakness persists; expect a muted quarter
We interacted with the REDI management for a business update on operations. Key takeaways are: 1) India business muted on sluggish government/ corporate business even as retail demand is largely unaffected and 2) Apple continues to do well for REDI, while Blackberry remains steady. While valuations have moderated (9x FY13E P/E), we believe macro conditions remain tough and REDI could see another muted quarter with slower-than-usual seasonality. Key trigger, in our view, would be deal announcements with other top smartphone vendors (most notably iPhone).

SML ISUZU LIMITED (SIL) TARGET Rs.472 ::Sushil Finance Research


Strategically Increasing Presence in Niche Category of MCV
SIL was primarily present in the cargo segment with a blend of 63:37 (FY07) between its cargo (GC)
and passenger carriers (PC). Given the volatility in the GC segment and its huge dependence on the
economic activities, the company strategically moved towards high margin and less volatile PC in
order to improve its margins and thereby protect itself from the downturn in the CV industry. In
FY12, the company lost market share due to some supply constraints with regards to chassis frame
& bus body availability, which is no more a concern, thus, starting FY13, the company’s bus sales
(7.5–12 tons) recorded an increase of 43% YTD vs. industry’s 23% (+248 bps market share). With
challenging macro environment, going forward we expect the share of PC to increase from 48% in
FY12 to 54% by FY14E. Overall, we expect the MCV contribution to total sales to increase from 63%
in FY12 to 68% by FY14E driven by product up-gradations & innovations.
