Strong Brand Portfolio: ABFRL has strengthened its portfolio with acquisition of Pantaloons diversifying from men to women s and kids wear. It has wide range of merchandises across all price segments, thereby expanding customer base and aordability in branded apparel segment. The Company has expanded to boost portfolio through organic and in-organic route into super premium segments like Simon Carter & Forever 21.

2 Recommendation Range STOP LOSS Target NIIT Technologies Background & Business NIIT Technologies (NIIT Tech) is a global IT solutions firm servicing clients in Travel & Transportation, Banking & Financial Services, Insurance, Manufacturing and Media verticals across Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia. It has been assessed at leading global quality benchmarks and standards including the ISO 9001:2000, ISO: (an Information Security Management accreditation), Level-5 of SEI CMMi version 1.2, COPC, PCMM Level-5 and ISO:20000 (IT management standard). Investment Rationale Revenue Performance: Aided by higher revenues from GIS and traction in Insurance vertical, its revenues stood at $101mn in 3QFY17 (-0.6% QoQ), which was little above expectations. EBITDA margin at 16.7% was up 20bps QoQ. The Company added fresh orders worth $101mn and bagged three new significant accounts were, including two accounts in Travel & Transportation. Margin Expected to Improve: The Management expects healthy sequential revenue growth in 4QFY17E on the back of recent deal wins with traction expected to continue in Insurance vertical. However, BFS vertical is expected will see some sequential volatility, going forward. We expect margin improvement, as business from one of the US-based clients in Travel is expected to improve. Smart City Initiative to Drive Revenues: The Smart City initiative of the Government of India is driving traction for company s GIS business. NIIT Tech is now working on 4 such projects and new business from this segment will continue to drive revenues in coming years. A likely reversal of provision due to favourable settlement in a government project could result in some gains in operating profit without any incremental cost. NIIT Tech has recently announced two senior hires to ramp-up its Digital & Insurance verticals. Mr. Joel Lindsay would head the Digital Business and Mr. Adrain Morgan would strengthen the Insurance business. We believe recent senior level additions could add some weight to Digital capabilities. We believe the management needs to further invest in strengthening its Digital capabilities in its focus verticals i.e. Travel, BFS & Insurance. Outlook & Valuation With strong net cash on balance sheet, NIIT Tech has the potential to pursue acquisitions to strengthen its service oerings in favour of Digital business. While valuations seem to be attractive at current levels, dividend yield at 2.7% oers downside protection for the stock.
