12:14 pm: Edelweiss maintains ‘REDUCE’ on DMart (steep valuation)
DMart is a play on the strong Indian retail story and we estimate it to deliver revenue and EBITDA CAGR of 26/25% each over FY19–21. Rising competition will make margin expansion a difficult task. Hence, we maintain ‘REDUCE’ with target price of Rs 1,280 (35x 12-month forward EV/EBITDA). At CMP, stock is trading at 32.0x FY21E.
12:05 pm: Edelweiss maintains ‘HOLD’ on TCS
TCS, with huge Rs 30,000 crore cash pile and commitment to distribute it aggressively (distributed 100%+ of FCF in FY19), is expected to announce another mega buyback after completion of the stipulated 12 months gap (mostly around September). Both the company’s previous buybacks had been announced at a 10% plus premium.
"We believe, robust execution and cash distribution have kept valuations high, though we see limited upside fundamentally. Hence, we maintain ‘HOLD/SP’ with Rs2,137 target price (22x Q1FY21E EPS). At CMP, the stock is trading at 21.8x FY21E EPS."
