Outlook & Valuation
After witnessing strong execution in FY12 and robust order inflows resulting into current order backlog of Rs 39bn, we believe that SIIL would achieve a decent revenue growth in FY13E. We have upgraded our estimates for FY13 based on strong execution in the past year and impressive order backlog. Based on FY13E and FY14E revised EPS of Rs 60.8 and Rs 78.1, the stock is trading at P/E of 4.5x and 3.5x respectively. We maintain our BUY recommendation with revised target price of Rs 344 based on SOTP valuation (Rs 304 for EPC, based on 5x FY13EPS & Rs 40 for BOT, based on 0.5x equity invested in BOT).
