Traded in:Nse-Bse
Buy range:200-220 rs
Target:280
Duration:6-8 months
Return percentage:27%-40%
Story:Seriously had one heck of a time in choosing the special Diwali pick.I satisfied myself through every means,studied each and every details meticulously,presumed retail gullible investors mindset and zeroed in on the company name penned above.Its not a small cap which you folks would clamour about limited volumes in the bourses or its not the typical large known cap which has presumably got its future return capped at 10-15% CAGR for coming few years.Tata Elxsi is all about the class,the Sunrising business model company with an amazing future ahead.
Quote:'CMC, Tata Elxsi, CRL & Tata Tech are each a TCS in the making in their respective sectors'-S Ramadorai.
Note:Now when that comes from the man who is responsible for TCS's 4 lakh crs marketcap(ya you read that correct 4 lakh crs)you ought to feel the Midas touch already.It would be prudent to note that Mr Ramadorai is the Chairman of my recommendation today.One may question me about why the discrimination among the four companies he named?Why tata elxsi and not the other three?The answer is simple folks.Among the companies he named we only have Cmc and Tata elxsi listed in the bourses.Am not here to piss one off by suggesting the 1300 bucks 4000crs mcap CMC for sure.That leaves me with Tata elxsi which not only provides a healthy 5-7 bucks dividend per share but also is available at a mere marketcap of only 600 odd crs.Now how many company from the respected TATA stable is available at such low valuation?
Business:A part of the USD 100 billion Tata Group, Tata Elxsi provides embedded product design, industrial design, animation & visual effects and systems integration among others.Headquartered in Bangalore, it has offices in Dubai, France, Germany, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa, UAE, the UK and the US.As I have mentioned in several of my earlier research notes,Intellectual property/Brain of the guy at helms is one of my major criteria for choosing a company.Mr Ramadorai is the man for me here.And on his words,"It is a company which is specially into- design & development, industrial designing, and animation & special effects. In the first two areas, our capabilities are exceptional.They are total intellectual assets.We have done some cutting-edge work for onboard electronics, design of water filters.Visual computing is slightly different. It touches on aspects like special effects, which plays a part in launches of cars like Tata Motors’ Manza, Tata Motors’ Aria, where the entire special effects were created purely from the engineering data.So there was no actual car used for creating those special effects. The animation business is also making progress with the company setting up a studio in the US".
Fiscal 2012-13:The total consolidated income during the fiscal was Rs. 626.51 crores as against Rs. 542.91 crores in the previous year,registering an overall increase of 15.4%.The Profit after Tax (PAT) was Rs. 21.31 crores, as against Rs. 34.59 crores in the previous year. The decrease in profit is mainly due to retiring of the corporate guarantee given to bank for securing the loan for its JV entity, A2E2 and share of loss in the said JV entity.

Ratio parameters:Debt to equity ratio stands at a healthy .3.ROE and ROCE stands at a robust double digits figures.The company has a book value of 63 bucks as on the last balance sheet figure.Dividend yield is around 2.5%.The company generates decent cash flows from its operating activities.
Conclusion:Its continuing investments in R&D and technology development, as well as the exploration of new and adjacent markets. These will provide the foundation for future business and help de-risk any downturns in specific industries and markets.The company always had the potential but never couldn't move out of the woods.The present time it certainly seems its moving to the rich league which it always belonged.The company is set to report earnings of 14 bucks for the present fiscal(800-850crs sales and a PAT of between 40-46crs for fy13-14 consolidated numbers).Applying a modest PE multiple of 20(average historical PE of last five years has been even higher) helps me to arrive at a target price of 280 bucks.Enjoy the 30% target return over a period of 6-8 months.
