Infrastructure - Back in favour; sector update:: Edelweiss


·       Government reforms to aid both execution and profitability of infra companies
§       Reforms like SEB restructuring etc., are likely to boost investment activity in the country
§       Investment growth, which had capitulated due to policy paralysis, likely to bounce back
·       Improvement in economic growth to act as a catalyst for volume surge
§       With GDP growth expected to improve, higher traffic and better volumes will boost asset valuations
·       Interest rate easing to result in multi-pronged benefits
§       With interest rates set to decline, infra companies with high leverage levels will see sharp jump in profitability; lower interest rates to boost capex cycle and improve working capital cycle

§       Along with earnings upgrades, multiple re-rating will further drive stock performance
·       Finally, return of risk appetite to drive stock returns
§       Higher liquidity and incremental flows in equity markets to result in outperformance of cyclicals; we believe it is time to increase exposure to high-betastocks
·       Conclusion: Time to act
§       We present select stocks with distinct investments profile:
§       Multiple re-rating: JP Associates, GMR Infra, Adani Ports, Nagarjuna Construction, Voltas, KEC
§       High risk, high-return: Lanco Infra, IRB Infra, Adani Enterprises, Crompton Greaves, Jyoti Structures
Regards,
