So, if you have been fence sitting and want to buy some midcaps, here are some stocks to buy.
Pidilite Industries
Rating: BUY
Potential upside: 16%
Target: Rs 462
Rationale: Estimate revenues, earnings CAGR of 19% in FY14-17E on the back of intact demand from tier II, tier III cities. A recovery in margin coupled with strong return ratios would justify the company’s re-rating possibilities.
IRB Infrastructure
Rating: HOLD
Target: Rs 269
Potential upside: Given the strong order of Rs 11,587 crore providing strong revenue visibility, see its earning to grow at 22.6 percent CAGR during FY14-16E. However, most of the positives have already been priced in the CMP. Hence, maintain HOLD.
Gujarat Pipavav Port
Rating: HOLD
Target: Rs 175
Potential upside: 3%
Rationale: With debt-free structure and ECB for funding further capex, interest cost is expected to decline substantially. Further, its higher revenue visibility and better margin on account of fixed cost model together with revenue from tank farms will provide further upside.
Gateway Distriparks
Rating: BUY
Target: Rs 330
Potential upside: 14%
Rationale: As container volumes at major ports like JNPT andChennai post growth of 9% and 5% YoY, respectively, in YTD, we expect the CFS segment to post confident growth.
East India Hotels
Rating: BUY
Target: Rs 124
Potential upside: 19%
Rationale: In terms of earnings, expect sales CAGR of 6.8% during FY14-16E coupled with expansion in margins.
Taj GVK Hotels
Rating: BUY
Target: Rs 116
Potential upside: 13%
Rationale: Expect the hotel business in Hyderabad to improve post resolution of the Telangana issue over next two years. Further, expansion into newer geographies of Bangalore and Mumbai would provide the company with better scale and geographic diversity over the longer-term.
Greaves Cotton
Rating: BUY
Target: Rs 175
Potential upside: 25%
Rationale: A recovery in the engines business and complete exit from the infrastructure business may drive PAT CAGR at 18% over FY14-17E. Even with the improvement in GDP, we expect sales to witness 14% CAGR over the same period.
