Identifying Phoenix: Stocks set for comeback
o As per ancient Greek mythology, a Phoenix is a long-lived bird that cyclically regenerates or is otherwise born again. Contrary to the
above myth, there are several instances and several stocks in reality, with historical precedents, that have corrected very sharply
MOMENTUM PICK
during times of panics but have, thereafter, rebounded very strongly when things improve or mend. Hence, we believe there are
several such Phoenixes (stocks that have corrected > 70% from their life-time highs) available at huge bargains relative to their
business fundamentals. Even from a technical analysis set-up, chart patterns of such companies indicate a value area emerging
suggesting buying such stocks to reap handsome gains over a one-year period
o Our study of three major bear markets (classic empirical evidences) of 1992, 2000, 2008 has produced interesting revelations.
Buying good companies (credible business history over business cycles, reasonable business model with decent management
pedigree, robust balance sheet and inexpensive valuations on a historical basis) post 70% correction from their all-time highs and
holding them for a period of one year generates super normal returns of at least 60% for such stocks (refer examples on slide 3)
o Though the near-term outlook may be hazy for such companies, the risk-reward turns extremely favourable for investors as market
has already priced in extreme pessimistic scenarios. Also, as the anxiety around the event settles down and a new bull phase

• M&M is also a prominent player in the domestic UV segment (market share pegged at ~20%), with the recent product launches yet to contribute meaningfully to the overall volumes. The
company however is ahead of competition in term of electrification and already has an Electric 3-W and E-rickshaw as well as PV (e-Verito & e-KUV 100) running on Indian roads.
• Amid the on-going nationwide lockdowns, ramp up of BS-VI production is expected to be gradual in nature for M&M, leading to a substantially weak Q4FY20E & Q1FY21E. The valuations at M&M
however have corrected much ahead of short term demand disruption.
• On its core farm + automobile portfolio it trades at inexpensive valuation of 5x EV/EBITDA on FY22E numbers. M&M also has stakes in its group companies which are fundamentally sound in
nature. Conservatively assuming holding company discount of 70% to its investment book, we arrive at a fair value of ₹ 400 for M&M using SOTP valuation methodology. The company’s recent
decision to limit its investment in its Korean arm is an added positive and will limit the cash burn at that subsidiary3PL distribution logistics 3) coastal shipping volumes

HPCL will be the beneficiary of lower crude oil prices in its retail marketing business in the medium term. It's marketing margins are expected to remain healthy as the company has not passed on
full cost benefit to consumers.
On the refining business front, we expect HPCL GRMs for FY21E at US$ 3.3/bbl. Post lockdown, better global economy can lead to some increase in refining margins which we have not factored in
our assumptions.
A sharp correction in stock price presents investors a buying opportunity. On account of healthy marketing margins and low valuations, we have a BUY rating on stocks

Fundamental Outlook
• Tata Motors is a leading Commercial Vehicle manufacturer domestically with market share in excess of 40%. The company is revamping its strategy in the Passenger Vehicle segment, with
customer centric new age featured products. Tata Motors products in the PV category are adjudged one of the safest products on Indian roads with company securing high ranking in crash tests.
They are being increasingly preferred by customers and hold good potential, particularly new launches like Altroz and Harrier.
• On the JLR front, the company was in the middle of executing a turnaround plan with EBITDA margins in Q3FY20 at 10.8%. The new product launched at JLR namely Discovery Sport and
Defender were being much appreciates by its customers and global media. Chinese market too was on a turnaround with company clocking healthy growth post July 2019 amidst revamp of its
dealership network. JLR is the hardest hit in the present Covid crises with first China going for complete lockdown and then Europe including UK (manufacturing setup). We believe, post
restoration of normalcy, JLR will witness a smart recovery.
• On the Electrification front too, the company was one of the early movers with E-Tigor already running on Indian roads and impressive launch of E-Nexon. On the JLR front too, I-pace is being
steadily gaining traction with JLR committed for all existing model re-launches in the electric powertrain over next 18-24 months. FCF burn is being carefully watched with JLR expected to be
FCF positive in FY22E.
• The present stock price factors in most of the negatives and offers a lucrative entry point to play on the exciting turnaround opportunity at Tata Motors

Fundamental Outlook
• Cummins India, a power leader, is a group of complementary business units that design, manufacture, distribute and service engines and related technologies, including fuel systems, air
handling, filtration, emission solutions and electrical power generation systems
• For Q3FY20, Cummins export revenues dropped 16% YoY while domestic revenues grew 3.5% YoY. Distribution business grew 19% YoY to | 420 crore from execution of certain contracts for gas
engine products. Aided by healthy traction from compressors and railways, the industrial segment grew 7% YoY offsetting the 12% YoY decline in power gen sales
• Domestic and export markets are currently facing head winds on account of a global pandemic leading to demand disruptions in short to medium term. We expect the domestic market to
witness gradual revival in demand, driven by recovery in demand in infrastructure, manufacturing capex and commercial realty sectors
• Strong balance sheet, healthy cash flows, revival in demand, recent correction in the stock price coupled with pioneering activities by the company to bring in innovative solutions and
dependable services would act as a cushion for Cummins India in the current scenario and help pave the path for future growth

• The bank has a strong liability franchise with CASA of 31.46%. Retail term deposit comprises >69% of total deposit. We expect deposit growth at ~15.3% CAGR in FY20-22E to | 196417 crore.
In the current scenario, exposure to SME segment is expected to keep asset quality volatile. Anticipation of gradual recovery is expected to lead to increase in GNPA to 3.6% in FY22E. However,
higher provisioning at ~80 bps of advances is seen to keep NNPA stable at ~1.4-1.5%
• Higher credit cost anticipated in FY21E is expected to impact momentum of earnings. However, as economic normalizes, we expect advances to pick up ahead. Overall, we expect PAT to grow
at ~27% CAGR in FY20-22E to | 2485 crore, with FY21E seen to witness a blip. Outbreak of Covid-19 and exposure to MSME segment is seen to impact asset quality as well as return ratios in

Fundamental Outlook
• Tata Communications is confident of expanding the growth services portfolio. They have attributed IZO platform as the key driver of the growth services traction, going ahead, as it has a
humongous addressable market size of US$4 billion
• The company has also indicated that they aspire to reach 2.2-2.5x net debt to EBITDA driven by deleveraging through organic cash flow generation
• Over the last few quarter, the growth in data segment has been impressive driven by growth services and as the company expands the innovation services, we expect the data margins to
expand to 22% in FY22 vs. ~19% in FY20
