BOARD MEETINGS

ANALYST CALLS
• Anand Rathi has retained its buy recommendation on Heidelberg Cement with a higher target of ₹263. Aided by strong price environment and concentrated efforts towards cost optimisation, company reported strong performance. Its shorter lead distances, an increasing share of premium cement volumes and higher utilisation will continue to aid the company to good performance, said the brokerage.

• JM Financial has maintained its buy rating on Asian Paints with a target price of ₹1,475 as they continue to see Asian Paints as a compelling long-term investment theme that quite justifies the premium that it commands. While the business did witness headwinds on input-costs during the year plus increase in costs-base on account of the commissioning of two large greenfield facilities, it still managed to sustain its ROCE and ROE in FY19 at 21.3% and 24.1% vs 21.6% and 24.6% in FY18, said the brokerage.

• Geojit Financials has maintained its accumulate rating on KNR Constructions with a target price of ₹324 citing pick up in execution as projects are getting financial closure and appointed date. Healthy balance sheet, strong execution capability with better operational margin to support valuation, said the brokerage.

• Narnolia Financial has maintained its neutral stance on Cipla with a target price of ₹565 citing strong US growth partly offset by weak tender business. Going forward, as the company is progressing well in its initiative to build a strong specialty pipeline; clinical trials for such specialty products will add to the costs and would put pressures in the margins, said the brokerage.

• Karvy Stock Broking has recommended to sell Havells India shares with a target price of ₹800 citing growth across segments offset by lower margins. Havells to trade at premium valuations due to its strong brand, highly penetrated distribution channel, efficient working capital management and cash flow generation, said the brokerage.
