    Havells India | Rating: Upgrade to Buy | Target: 590 | Upside: 16 percent

    The recent acquisition of Lloyd gives the company a strong foothold in the fast growing durables segment. The company's aim is to double revenue in the next three years through new product launches, expansion of existing product portfolio and increased channel penetration

    The firm expects the sales growth of the company to accelerate, led by lighting, consumer durables, and Lloyd Electric and market share gains in cables/wires and switches.

    Granules India | Rating: Buy | Target: 200 | Upside: 61 percent

    GRAN-Omnichem is a joint venture between the company and Ajinomoto’s subsidiary, Omnichem. But sales growth from the JV business will be impacted in the near term due to deferral of sales by a key client, though the company maintains its medium-term revenue growth guidance (of 20-25% CAGR) from Omnichem JV.

    The company is planning to file approximately 25 ANDAs in the US till FY19. Of these, 12-15 complex ANDAs will be filed from its US-based Virginia facility and rest from India facility located in Gagilapur.

    We firm believes that the stock has the potential to deliver more than 50 percent return in 12-18 months on the back of multiple re-rating and strong PAT CAGR of 27 percent till FY20E.

    IOC | Rating: Buy | Target: 541 | Upside: 39 percent

    Paradip complex, with its upcoming projects, would be a key earnings driver for the company, going forward.

    The refinery is expected to produce 27% petrol, in addition to 42% diesel, 5% ATF and 8.6% petcoke.

    Polypropylene with 2x340ktpa capacity is expected to be commissioned by December 2018 at a cost of Rs 35 billion. This would be even more profitable than the conventional projects due to the Indmax technology.

    Among the OMCs, IOC has the most diversified EBITDA profile, with one-third coming from refining and marketing each, and the rest divided between petrochem and pipeline.

    Colgate Palmolive | Rating: Buy | Target: 1355 | Upside: 30 percent

    With the launch of Colgate Swarna Ved Shakti, along with a bevy of products likely to be rolled out over the next few years under this brand, the company can emerge as a strong play in the herbal/natural/ayurvedic sub-segment.

    Colgate is an attractive play on a rural recovery and as the government schemes are falling in place and monsoon has been near normal, which is likely to lead to a sharp revival in earnings growth off a low base FY19 onward.

    With the General Elections likely to be held in 2019, there is a strong possibility of the government coming up with more schemes to support rural demand in 2018.
