Investment Positives: Shiv-Vani is the biggest private sector rig owner & operator in India specializing in onshore and offshore operations. It has lined up a fleet of 21 onshore rigs (one of the largest in India after ONGC), four seismic data acquisition equipment; four crew boats; seven compressors; 233 drilling rigs and 425 logistic support vehicles. It is one of the few companies in India to own an onshore rig equipped with Top Drive System.Shiv-Vani has joined hands with the Energy Sector world leaders in Russia, USA, China, Malaysia, UAE, Canada, Germany and other countries.It has an order book of Rs 4800 crore out of which Rs 4100 crore is executable over a three-year period. For executing this order book, the company is likely to incur a capex of Rs 600 crore in FY09. It has enough funding for this.Rise in the prices of rig in the coming years will help the company to earn more revenues in its contracts as it has acquired rigs at lower prices.
Concerns: Weakening of the Rupee and delay in order execution will affect profitability. But the Company has an excellent track record in executing orders.The somewhat high level of debt raises some concerns though the FCCBs have all got converted.
During the early months of 2008 Shiv-vani outperformed Nifty. The fall in the price of Shiv-Vani was less than the fall in Nifty and the rise in the price of the stock was greater than the Index. From September the stock has fallen to a great extent, making the share undervalued. Taking into account the prospects of the company the share is a good buy at the current price.
Valuation: Shiv-Vani has shown a superlative financial performance for the FY’08. It is expected to have an annualized EPS of around Rs 43.36 per share for FY09. At CMP of Rs 140, it trades at an attractive P/E of 3.23. The PEG ratio comes to 0.023. We recommend the stock as an excellent investment with a target price of Rs 400 in 12 months.
