Westlife Development—Neutral

Recommendation by Motilal Oswal Institutional Equities

We believe in the structural opportunity for WLDL; however, valuations from the near-term perspective appear to price in the upside. Maintain Neutral.

Info Edge—Neutral

Amazon's expansion can pose a risk to Zomato's road to profitability and lead to higher ‘losses from investee companies' on INFOE's consolidated P&L.

We foresee a risk to the duopoly structure and consistent take rates in the industry. INFOE holds 18.4% stake in Zomato. Maintain Neutral.

Everest Kanto Cylinders—Buy

Recommendation by Ventura Securities

A resurgent economy and tailwinds from the development of the Indian gas market forebode strong growth prospects for India's largest gas cylinder player - EKCL. We believe that the stock of EKCL is grossly undervalued at the current market price of Rs.85 (7.4X FY23 P/E). We initiate coverage with a BUY for a price target of Rs.132 (12.0X P/E FY23), representing a potential appreciation of 55.5% over the next 24 months.

CSB Bank—Buy

Recommendation by Ventura Securities

The return ratios, ROE and ROA are set to expand to 16.4% and 1.3% by FY23. At the current CMP of Rs. 234, the stock is attractively valued at 1.6X FY23 P/ Adj. BV. We initiate coverage with a BUY for a price target of Rs.290 (2.0X FY23 P/Adj. BV) representing an upside of 24% over the next 12 months.

Punjab National Bank—Buy

Recommendation by Ventura Securities

At the CMP of Rs.41.8 the stock is valued at 0.7X its FY23 Adj. BV of Rs.60 (not taking into consideration the 2nd tranche of QIP). Given the resumption of the growth trajectory and its wide scale of operations, we expect a moderate rerating in the valuations. We initiate coverage with a BUY for a price target of Rs.54 (0.9X FY23 Adj. P/BV), representing an upside of 29% from the CMP.

V-MART—Buy

We value the stock at FY23E EV-to-EBITDA ratio of 23x (in line with its pre-COVID three-year average EV-to-EBITDA multiple of 23x), increasing our target price to INR3,500. Retain Buy

Reliance Industries—Buy

Recommendation by BofA Securities

RIL's subsidiary Jio today introduced an integrated offering for micro, SMBs. We expect the traction to be gradual from this offering & don't expect it to contribute meaningfully to RIL's consolidated revenue/EBITDA. Maintain Buy on RIL as we find risk reward favorable.
