We recommend a buy on Pratibha Industries with a 2-year price target of Rs 550 (20x FY08E), and an annualised return of 25%, states a research report released released on May 8 by Motilal Oswal Securities.

 

Robust order book

 

PIL has a strong order book and this ensures a clear topline visibility for the next 2-3 years. The average gestation period is 1.5 to 2 years. About 80% of the orders are water- based. Rest is from roads, commercial structures and mass housing.

 

Investment concerns

 

Increase in raw material price

 

Increase in cement/steel price, major raw materials for infrastructure projects, could impact operating margins. However, most of the projects have an escalation clause, which enables companies to pass on this cost-push.

 

Equity dilution

 

As the company grows from a small sized entity to a mid sized one, it may need to increase its net worth, resulting in further issue of shares. However, we believe that incremental order inflow on back of increased net worth would not adversely impact return on equity and earnings.
