ASHOKA BUILDCON: <strong>BUY</strong>, <strong>TP</strong>-Rs321 (75% <strong>upside</strong>)<br />
What’s the theme?<br />
We believe, Ashoka Buildcon (ABL), a well experienced BOT road player with 18 operational project and 6<br />
projects of ~2500kms under construction, is likely to be<strong>com</strong>e a prominent player in road infra over the next 3<br />
years. However, due to unhealthy industry and market dynamics the stock is available at a sharp discount of P/<br />
BV 0.9x, which we believe does not reflect a long term average valuation for the <strong>com</strong>pany.<br />
What will move the stock?<br />
1) The P/E deal, which is likely by March 2011, wherein ABL will offload stake for a bouquet of 7-8 large<br />
BoT road assets. We believe ABL may offload approximately 20-25% stake for a value of Rs6-7bn.<br />
2) Going ahead we expect ABL to substantially improve its EPC execution as OB has improved to Rs50bn.<br />
We estimate EPC revenue to grow by 23.5% in FY12E and then improve by 34.2% in FY13E.<br />
Where are we stacked versus consensus?<br />
Our FY12 and FY13 earnings estimates are Rs19.4 and Rs25.9, 15.8% and 14.4% lower than consensus<br />
estimates respectively. We expect top-line growth of 29.3% and 30.1% to Rs16.8bn and Rs21.9bn in<br />
FY12E and FY13E vs. consensus forecasts of 28.2% and 32.5% to Rs16.7bn and Rs22.1bn, respectively.<br />
We value BOT (on a DCF basis) at FY12E and FY13E equity multiples of 1.6x and 1.1x, respectively. Our<br />
SO<strong>TP</strong>-based target price is Rs321, where BOT is valued at Rs198 and EPC at Rs122 (8x FY12E earnings).<br />
The stock offers an <strong>upside</strong> potential of 75.2% at our SO<strong>TP</strong>-based target price of Rs321 vs. consensus<br />
target of Rs293.<br />
What will challenge our target price?<br />
1) Lower IRR owing to further increase in interest rates; 2) Lower traffic growth; 3) Slowdown in execution<br />
of current orders; and 4) Adverse impact on tolling charges from any changes in the government policy.<br />
