Stock Idea: Orbit Corporation

A realty company, infact it is the first in the sector to declare its first quarter performance for period ended 30th June 2008. And clearly the troubled times seem to be showing on the bottomlines of the company. If times were booming in the last quarter of FY08, it is very apparent that the going is getting tough.
On a standalone basis, when the sales of the company itself falls, on a QoQ, by a whopping 86% at Rs.25.19 crore as against Rs.183.19 crore in Q4FY08, can much be expected of the profit margins? The company has managed to reduce its operating expense but naturally, that has not helped. EBIDTA was down 88% at Rs.11.06 crore, PBT fell 93% at Rs.6.40 crore and PAT was down 94% at Rs.4.82 crore as against its life time best of Rs.88.83 crore for Q4FY08. OPM was down sharply from 52.25% to 43.89% and NPM was down from 48.45% to 19.14%.
The company had raised Rs.100.10 crore in the IPO, of which it has utilized Rs.91.28 crore. What is gratifying to note is that it had earmarked Rs.50 crore for acquiring land for the said developments and this it has managed to do. The company acquired 85% stake in Ahinsa Buildtech Pvt. Ltd. consequent to which it has become a subsidiary of the Company. Ahinsa Buildtech has entered into a Deed of Conveyance with the receiver of Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) for acquiring the property of Orkay Mills situated at Kurla Andheri Road, Saki Naka, Andheri East. This gives the company 275,000 sq.feet of saleable land, which it plans to develop into a 5 star Residential Serviced Apartment with office complex.
The company had issued shares at Rs.110 per share, which is still quiet realistic if one were to go by the many other IPOs that followed at unjustifiable prices. At that time, realty was the toast of the marketmen and hence any price was ok. But it is at times like these, when the markets are down that those and realty is the most butchered sector, that the real test comes. Those who have issued shares at more realistic levels would manage to keep its head above water.
Orbit had touched a high at Rs.1080 and it today ruling at levels of Rs.248, Stay invested as the bottom seems to have been tested.

Stock Idea: South Indian Bank

At a time when the banking industry is being hammered down by the investors and analysts have been stating that the Indian banks would be having a rough time, the financial performance and the 1:4 bonus issue comes as a tight smack on the face of all the detractors.
The first bank to always declare its results, the bank, with 500 branches, 26 extension counters and 226 ATMs seems to be doing well. YoY, deposits have gone up from Rs 12,834 crore to Rs 15,378 crore registering a growth of 19.82%. Advances increased from Rs 8,509 crore to Rs 10,643 crore registering a growth of 25.08%. The bank earned a total income of Rs 405.89 crore during the quarter as against Rs 321.97 crore for the previous year registering a growth of 26.06%. It posted a net profit of Rs.38.62 crore in as against Rs 30.37 crore for the previous year quarter, registering a growth of 27.16%.
The Capital adequacy ratio of the bank is high at 13.93% against the regulatory requirement of 9%. During the quarter, the Book value per share has increased from Rs 107.01 to Rs 132.70.
From April 09, once the banking sector would be made open for investments by the foreign banks and industrial groups, lot of interest would get noticed in these banks which would vastly improve their valuations. At the current rate of Rs.104, South Indian Bank makes a good buy as the downside risk is minimal.
