Winning new orders
"ITI has won the tender from BBNL for the supply of G-PON equipments with C-DoT technology. The company's EPS has also turned positive from negative, which is a huge boost for the company. ITI also has an acceptable return on Capital Employed at 18 per cent to 20 per cent," Dynamic Levels has noted.
Huge business opportunities
Dynamic Levels says there is a huge opportunity in electronics manufacturing and communication services. "There are many other business opportunities in the field of Defence electronics and communications, Solar power solutions, Energy storage products etc. and ITI has already ventured in to many of these areas, like solar panel," the research report points.
"The Government has approved a revival plan for ITI with a funding support of ` Rs 4156.79 Cr. This package consists of Rs 2264 Crore as equity towards up-gradation of manufacturing infrastructure in all the plants of ITI for implementation of new projects. Government had already released Rs192 Crore as first phase disbursement to the Company towards capital expenditure," Dynamic Levels report points out.

GIL has presence across entire pharma value chain from Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) to Pharmaceutical Formulation Intermediaries (PFIs) to Finished Dosages (FDs). It has a strong presence in ‘first line of defense' products such as Paracetamol, Ibuprofen and Metformin. Currently, company has eight manufacturing facilities spread over India, China & US. Company operate in 75 countries, with over 300 customers across the globe & about 60% of the company's turnover comes from North America and Europe.

Granules focus on GIL focus gradually moving higher on value chain and solid financials should augur well for the company.
Valuations
"At CMP of Rs 112, GIL trades at 16.0x its FY17E EPS of Rs 7.0/- We believe, substantial product approval, greater traction in Auctus Portfolio & higher realization in Omnichem JV to boost GIL growth going ahead. Hence, we recommend BUY rating on a stock price with a target price of Rs 134/-, thus implying 20% upside from current levels," the firm has said in its research report.
