Why to buy?

1. Future looks promising -

India is expected to become the second-largest steel producer in the world by 2016. Easy availability of low-cost manpower and presence of abundant iron ore reserves make India competitive in the global setup.


2. Industry to revive -
Since government of India focusing more on civil and urban projects and lanco being major player in the south India will likely to benefit in a big way from such projects. Further, company is able to reduce debt to equity ratio from 2.21 to 1.8 this fiscal year which is likely to improve southwards further to 1.5 in FY15. Net margin will likely to be around 6-7% in FY15 from current 4% which is showing healthy improvement in bottom line.

At the current market price of Rs. 72.40, the stock P/E ratio is at 4.24 x FY15E and 3.52 x FY16E respectively. Earnings per share (EPS) of the company for the earnings for FY15E and FY16E are seen at Rs. 17.07 and Rs. 20.56 respectively. Hence, we recommend to buy the stock on any decline from CMP for the target of 110 in medium to long term.
