Asian Paints (Present price: 2700) Asian Paints is the market leader in the domestic paint industry, accounting for around +50% overall market share and +60% share in the decorative market. The company has clocked 20% higher than industry growth in volume terms over the last five years.

Asian Paints has a strong brand, enhanced dealer network with 27000 outlets and focus on premium emulsion segment. The company has clocked a net profit of Rs.472.4 crore on net sales of Rs.4511 crore during H1FY‟12, translating into an EPS of Rs.49.25.

The company‟s products have a strong replacement demand which should help it sail through tough times. With improving demographics, increasing brand awareness, we expect Asian Paints to emerge as a key beneficiary.

2. Dabur India (Present price: 96) The brandname, Dabur has become synonymous w. The company with its wide range of products is emerging as a key player in the Indian FMCG market. With the acquisition of Fem Care Pharma and Balsara's Hygiene and Home products businesses, the company is strategically placed to reap the benefits.

At present, the company is rejigging its distribution structure and increasing the number of outlets and doubling the rural reach by penetrating sparsely populated areas, the complete benefits of the same should be visible from FY‟13E onwards. Dabur India should clock an EPS of Rs.3.6 and Rs.4.3 by FY‟12E and FY‟13E respectively.

3. Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories (Present price: Rs.1650) The company registered strong Q2FY‟12 results on the back of significant improvement in the topline. We expect this trend to continue going forward also. We expect significant improvement in earnings by FY‟13E since Russia and CIS which contribute 15% to the turnover, are expected to grow by ~20% on the back of significant volume growth in 20 key brands.

4. Gas Authority of India (GAIL) (Present price: Rs.370) Post ~30% correction from its 52-week high levels, GAIL (India) Limited‟s share has emerged as a significant value-buy at the present levels. The company is the leader in the gas transmission and trading and continues to maintain this position going forward also. With the demand for natural gas from the end-user industry rising, demand for transportation of the same is expected to remain robust going forward.

During H1FY‟12, the company registered a PAT of Rs.2079.1 crore on net sales of Rs.18566.4 crore, translating into an EPS of Rs.16.4. 5. HDFC Bank (Present price: Rs.485) The Bank has grown it‟s net profit consistently at a CAGR of +30% over the last several years. More commendable is the fact that this growth has been achieved along with consistent improvement in asset quality. The Bank‟s loan book is equally divided between the retail and the corporate segments. In the corporate segment, HDFC Bank finances mostly working capital loans in case of corporates. The Bank has a strong liability franchisee with CASA ratio quoting at 47% of the total deposits. A high CASA ratio leading to effectively lower cost of funds has helped the Bank clock the highest NIMs ( next only to Kotak Bank) in the banking space. During H1FY‟12, the Bank has registered an Interest Income of Rs.12695.7 crore, an increase of 37.6% y-o-y. The net profit for the corresponding period stood at Rs.2284.3 crore, an increase of 32.5% y-o-y.  6. Idea Cellular Limited (Present price: Rs.84) We feel that inspite of a number of policy overhangs, telecom stocks have a significant potential for appreciation going forward. We believe that tariff hikes have seen their bottom levels, which would lead to improvement in revenues as well as margins. Since Bharti is grappled with foreign debt in its books to fund the African acquisition, MTM loss on this debt would lower its PAT, Idea Cellular should emerge as a key beneficiary in the sector.  7. IndusInd Bank (Present price: Rs.280) With the new management under the leadership of Mr. Romesh Sobti in place, IndusInd Bank‟s net profit has registered an almost eight-fold jump to Rs.577 crore in FY‟11 from Rs.75 crore in FY‟08. The Bank has clocked higher than industry growth and almost doubled the Balance Sheet size and the income earned during this period. The CASA ratio has also doubled during FY‟08-11 from 14% to 28%. The management has targetted for CASA deposits for FY‟14 stands at 34%. Over the next two years, the management has guided for almost doubling of the branch network compared to the present figure of 350. The major growth in the loan book should come from the consumer finance segment and the enhanced branch network should provide a significant opportunity to cross- sell, leading to higher growth in fee income compared to the loan book growth.  8. Infosys (Present price: Rs.2590) Unlike in 2008, the IT sector has shown a significant resilience this time and Infosys should be a key beneficiary of the same. The depreciating rupee also augurs well for IT companies and Infosys has the highest proportion of unhedged receivables amongst the top IT players. The management has guided that it may not abe able to achieve the top-end of the guidance, however, we feel that this negative element is already being factored in the present price. 9. ITC Limited (Present price: Rs.200) Cigarettes contributed 64% and 80% to the FMCG revenues and gross total revenues during H1FY‟12. The contribution of the cigarette segment to the consolidated EBIT stood at 80% during the same period. Cigarette sales are least impacted by factors which impact the markets in general, whether interest rates or high commodity prices. The company has been able to not only sustain volume growth inspite of hike in duties on cigarette but also maintained margins very well. ITC is the second largest hotel-chain operator and the largest paperboard and packaging companies in the country. The company has scaled up rapidly in the FMCG space, which not only requires establishment of new manufacturing operations but efficient and widespread distribution channels.  10.

The company has clocked a 30% growth in topline during H1FY‟12. We expect the same trend to continue for the balance portion of the year also. MIDCAP IDEAS  11. Arshiya International(Present price: Rs.135) Arshiya International has pioneered the unique concept of setting up Free Trade Warehousing Zones(FTWZ) in the country with first FTWZ already set up at Panvel. The company‟s other FTWZs are expected to come up at Khurja in the north, Nagpur in Central India and Chennai in South India which would be eventually linked through the rail route. With it‟s own FTWZs, distriparks and rail network, Arshiya should be able to provide an end-to-end logistics connectivity to all its clients.  12. Delta Corp (Present price: Rs.72) With 3 out of 6 off-shore licenses in the state of Goa, Delta Corp is the largest and the only listed casino operator in the country. The gaming positions in the company are expected to increase from the present figure of 690 to +3000 over the next 9 to 12 months on the back of addition of a new vessel, Horseshoe, to the existing fleet and commencement of operations of “Thunderbird Resorts” in Daman. The company has got the best parcel of land in Sri Lanka and would be setting up a five- star hotel and a casino.
