HMVL's 4QFY17 results have come in below estimates. Going forward, we see some risks to the company's margins from circulation growth initiatives likely in Uttar Pradesh. We are also wary about cash utilization. We value the stock at 11X FY19E PER (discount versus DB Corp is justified on higher non-operating income, in addition with the risks associated with cash usage). We downgrade the stock to ACCUMULATE (BUY earlier).
