Prabhudas Lilladher's research report on Cummins India


Cummins' (KKC's) Q1FY19 PAT was up 10.2%YoY at Rs1.83bn which was in line with our estimates. Domestic sales were down 7% YoY due to high base of last years and supply constraints with few vendors, however KKC expect to recover lost sales during the course of the year. Exports sales were up 12% YoY led by strong bounce back in LHP sales (up 26% YoY). Margin beat was led by better mix.


Outlook


We remain positive on KKC, given its strong domestic outlook, gradual likely revival of export markets and strong history of delivering on cost rationalization and healthy cash flows. While we have increased our margin assumption, increase in tax rate has led to earning cut of ~3% for FY19/20. We maintain "BUY" with a revised TP of Rs836.

Advisors' Opinion:

    Two technology names that you have undoubtedly heard of are software behemoth Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and computer and printer specialist HP Inc. (NYSE:HPQ). Of the two, Microsoft is clearly the more successful company, commanding a market capitalization of $861 billion, dwarfing HP's $30 billion.

  • [By Leo Sun]

    Shares of HP (NYSE:HPQ) recently plunged after the PC and printer maker posted a mixed first-quarter report. Its revenue rose 1% annually to $14.7 billion, missing estimates by $150 million and marking its slowest growth rate in 10 quarters. HP's non-GAAP net income rose 1% to $0.8 billion, and its earnings per share, buoyed by buybacks, climbed 8% to $0.52 per share and matched analysts' expectations.

  • [By John Ballard]

    Shares of HP (NYSE:HPQ) lost 10.4% in value last month, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence.

    After rebounding with the broader market in January, HP stock got clobbered in late February, following a disappointing earnings report that showed the company's printing segment struggling to grow amid heightened competition.
