Buy Orchid Chemicals, target of Rs 176: Reliance Money

Reliance Money has recommended a buy rating on Orchid Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals with a target of Rs 176 in its November 14, 2008 research report. "Orchid Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals Ltd (Orchid) reported 19% growth in consolidated revenues on a higher base to Rs 3484.5 million during Q2FY09. As per revised estimates, we expect the Revenue and profit (excluding forex loss) would grow at a CAGR of 15% and 16%, respectively during FY08-10E. Thus, the revised EPS (excluding forex loss) stands at Rs 14 and Rs 22.9 for FY09E and FY10E, respectively."

"But the positive part of Orchid is that FCCBs have sufficient time horizon for conversion and the company does not hedge its revenues, which could benefit the company from the weakening Rupee scenario in the near term. In line with our changed estimate based on consolidated numbers and in order to align our valuation with market valuation, we are revising our target price. In fact, to capture the market wide correction in valuations, we have reduced the earning multiple by 35% and revise target price to Rs 176 (i.e. 8x FY10E EPS),Buy," says Reliance Money's research report.
