​MOrning India (8/June/17): 1. GAIL India (A case for lower PE); 2. Voices (Demand revival in the offing); 3. EcoScope; 4. Financials

Today’s top research idea

  • ​GAIL India: A case for lower PE; US contracts pose threat of losses; downgrading to Sell
  • GAIL may face challenges to find customers for the 5.8mmtpa import contracts it has signed with US companies.
  • Threat of losses on US shale gas import contracts looms large and may wipe out ~20% of EBITDA for each USD1/mmBtu loss. In the current pricing environment, US shale would be ~USD2/mmBtu more expensive than prevailing spot prices in Asia-Pacific. Incremental benefits from transmission, trading and petrochemicals are limited.
  • Led largely by the petrochemicals and LPG segments, we expect EBITDA to increase by 24% in FY18. However, RoE at 11.7% and RoCE at 10.0% would still remain ~5% lower than a decade ago due to increased balance sheet size. We revise our stock rating to Sell. Our target price of INR357 implies 10% downside.

Piping hot news

  • ​Home loans set to get cheaper as RBI eases norms for banks
  • The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday made it possible for banks to lend more to home buyers, and at lower interest rates, in a move that should benefit customers as well as real estate developers.
