1. Steel Authority of India:

 

ICICI Securities has placed a 'Buy' call on the scrip of Steel Authority of India at a price of Rs. 130 ( the price at the time of recommendation). The brokerage sees the target for the scrip at Rs. 160 i.e. an upside of over 28% from the last traded price of Rs. 124.8.
"SAIL has adopted a focused approach on improving its volume, improving its operational efficiencies, operating the facilities at optimum levels, deleveraging its balance-sheet, etc.

In line with its focus on reducing the borrowings. SAIL has reduced its net debt by Rs. 16200 crore in FY21. Going forward also, we expect SAIL's net debt to further reduce by Rs. 6800 crore, over the next couple of years. We model sales volume of 17 MT for FY22E and 19 MT for FY23E. We value the stock at 5.5x FY23E EV/EBITDA and arrive at a target price of Rs. 160 (earlier Rs. 130). We maintain our BUY recommendation on the stock", said the brokerage firm in its report.

SAIL has been among the top companies which have reduced debt substantially by as much as Rs. 18,551 crore in the FY 2020-21 and this has been aided by increase in steel prices.

The scrip of SAIL last traded at a price of Rs. 126 per share on the NSE.

2. ONGC:

Geojit Paribas has given a 20.88% upside for the stock of ONGC i.e. a key oil drilling and exploration company of India. The target price seen for the scrip is Rs. 145 and at the time of stock recommendation, the stock quoted at a price of Rs. 118.45.

Rationale for the Buy on ONGC as suggested by Geojit Paribas:

With sharp recovery in crude oil prices in FY21, we expect the segment to witness further growth in coming quarters. Upward revision in Gas prices and any improvement in demand scenario should boost the performance further. Therefore, we reiterate our BUY rating on the stock with a revised TP of Rs. 145 based on SOTP valuation, said the brokerage in its report dated June 29, 2021.

"Considering the full recovery in crude volumes and realization, ONGC's topline performance now largely depends on movement in gas prices and its offtake. Revenue growth from Natural gas and Value-Added products is expected to improve as the impact from partial lockdowns mitigates. Also, possible hike in natural gas prices could drive the performance further", added the brokerage.

Financials:

The company's standalone revenue registered a decline of 1.2 percent YoY to Rs. 21,189 crore owing to lower realization as well as weak demand. Nonetheless, EBITDA improved owing to lowering of material costs as well as other expenses. PAT also registered a 144.6% YoY increase.

"The stock currently trades at 25.5x FY22e EPS of Rs. FY23e EPS of Rs. 105.4and 22.3 xFy 23e EPS of Rs. 120.44. ROE would improve to 32.7% in FY22 and 28% in FY23. Growth in the coming years would barely stymie not least due o planned debottlenecking of acetonitrile plant, increased capacity utilizations of both DMF and newly unveiled ethylamine plant. The strong demand for EDA shall also have a larger role to play. Better negotiating power and economies of scale arising out of future investments will improvise the company's cost structure and provide it with necessary economic moat. Free cash flows would rise not unremarkably this fiscal largely due to record profits. we retain our buy rating on the stock with revise target of Rs 3613 (previous target: Rs 1104) based on 30x FY23 earnings", said the brokerage report.
