In spite of this, it is maintaining one of the highest NIM at 3.7%. A strong operational performance led by NII enables SBI to cover up for higher provisioning and post decent profitability.

Coal India (CIL), the largest coal producing company in the world, also enjoys a monopoly status in the Indian domestic market. CIL contributes 80-85% of the country’s total coal output and on the demand side meets 65-70% of domestic consumption requirements.

JK Lakshmi Cement is a North India based cement company having an integrated cement plant with the capacity of 4.2 MTPA at Sirohi, Rajasthan and 0.55 MTPA each at Kalol (Gujarat) and Jhajjar (Haryana). We remain positive on the stock on account of capacity expansion led volume growth, improvement in margins and return ratios and cheap valuations. It is trading at USD 54/tonne at FY14E capacity of 8.1 MT, which is 55% discount to the current replacement cost.

12.IDFC
Current Market Price (CMP): Rs 167

The stock currently trades at 1.8x FY13E ABV and 1.6x FY14E ABV. We believe IDFC will get re-rated as its ROE expands and will continue to command premium within its peer group owing to its professional setup, experienced management team and diversified business model. Besides this, the company continues to maintain a cautious stance and has been prudently making provisions to cushion itself against any possible asset quality shocks. We expect a strong outperformance for the stock.

13. ING VYSYA Bank
Current Market Price (CMP): Rs 457

The stock currently trades at 1.4x FY14E ABV and 9.7x FY14E EPS which is attractive, considering the bank’s strong prospects to grow above industry rate with better asset quality & adequate capitalization (no capital raising in the next two years). ING has undergone a significant transformation in its quality of earnings over the past few years under the new management team led by Bhandari. However, the bank trades at a discount to its peers owing to lower return ratios. Going forward, with all levers to improve return ratios in place, we believe the gap in terms of valuation should narrow down and thus presents a strong case for re-rating.

14. Tech Mahindra
Current Market Price (CMP): Rs 967

Mahindra Satyam (MS) & Tech Mahindra (TM) both have shown tremendous resilience in overcoming their respective headwinds, especially in the last 5-6 quarters. We maintain our positive stance for its consistent performance and strong investments in the next wave of growth areas and geographies.

Bajaj s brand led strategy and superior product mix led by Discover, Pulsar and 3w has helped them to retain the high margins and grow at a healthy pace. Rajiv Bajaj’s high risk taking ability, brand led strategy and clear vision of transforming BAL into GLOBAL BAJAJ in Motorcycle segment augurs well for BAL in the medium to long term.
