Sell NALCO: Motilal Oswal

Motilal Oswal has recommended a sell rating on National Aluminium Company (NALCO) in its November 12, 2008 research report. "Nalco is expanding the capacity of smelter from 345ktpa to 460ktpa by addition of 240pots. Margins are likely to come under pressure due to softening of aluminium and alumina prices. FY09 EPS is estimated at Rs 24.1 after factoring in aluminium prices of USD 2,200/ton for 3QFY09 and USD 2,000/ton for 4QFY09. FY10E EPS will decline 7.3%YoY to Rs 22.3 factoring in aluminium prices of USD 2,000/ton and alumina prices of USD 250/ton. Other income will contribute 25% to the earnings. The stock trades at P/E of 7.3x FY09E and 7.8x FY10E and EV/EBITDA of 4.3x FY09E and 3.9x FY10E. Sell," says Motilal Oswal's research report.
