PAT at Rs1.3bn was 17% above our estimate on higher EBITDA (20% beat)offset somewhat by higher tax rate (38%) during the quarter. Order inflow at Rs20.6bndeclined by17% YoYdue to lack of large orders from conventional sectors, however base orders grew by ~10% YoY. Management indicated that demandfrom conventional sectors (steel, cement, etc.) and exports remainedweak (declined to ~12% of sales from ~17% in CY14), however impact was offset by growth from new sectors such as renewables, railways, etc. as well as growth in opex- driven services business (~Rs 10 bn in CY15).We cut our CY16 revenue growth to 10% (vs14% earlier) due to lower than expected order inflow in Q4 and flat order backlog YoY.

Our TP stands atRs 1,213 (40x CY17E).For all recommendations, click here Disclaimer: The views and investment tips expressed by investment experts/broking houses/rating agencies on moneycontrol.com are their own, and not that of the website or its management.
