SpiceJet flying for Turnaround

SpiceJet highlighted how improving economic indicators has led to reversal in trends of domestic passenger traffic, and hoped momentum will sustain.

SpiceJet believes that recovery will favour low cost carriers (LCCs), which has already seen increase in share to ~30% share (up from 20% a year ago). Also, carriers such as SpiceJet have already returned to profitability due to relatively lower cost/ASKs, thanks to more seats/aircraft and lower distribution expenses. (more…)

IndiaBulls Power – Review – AVOID – Power in Wrong Hands

HDFC NAV Near High when SENSEX @ 16,700

Time for some self praise today. We have been recommending HDFC Funds for investors since long time on here. HDFC Top 200, Equity , Prudence and Tax Saver NAVs are near their Jan-2008, peak when the Index was 21,000. This means Sr. Fund Manager and CIO – Prashant Jain has managed to beat the index by 23%. [NAVS are at new peak when SENSEX ~17,000, instead of hitting the target @ 21,000]

Reliance Growth Fund which we have recommended has been market performer as its all time High NAV is still 20% away from current levels. However, note that this fund takes some serious exposure to midcaps and will perform better in bull market than in a fall & subsequent rise. So stay invested. (more…)

Infosys – Topline Below Expectations + Margins Better

Infosys reported 1.2% revenue growth QoQ in constant currency, which was below our/street expectations. Revenue upsides were essential to drive FY11 upgrades and lack of the same is a disappointment, in our view. Next quarter guidance (flattish) builds in no “year-end budget flush” – one can argue that (as usual) it is conservative.

Margins improved another ~50bps sequentially, which was the key reason for EPS beat (vs. our estimates). Infosys has managed margins very well through the downturn and 2Q margins are a 7-year high (34.6% EBITDA margins in 2Q).

Management sounded more positive than the recent past and expects flattish to a marginal increase in 2010 IT budgets. However, they don’t expect a budget flush which results in a flattish 3Q guidance. Pricing renegotiation are largely over.

Analysts expect full year EPS of Rs 103.96 for FY10 and Rs 110 for FY11. With INR getting stronger Vs the USD, Investors CAN Book Profits in the counter and take exposure to Indian Inclusive Growth Story Stocks. The days of HOLDING Infosys Fad is behind us 🙂
