Below we spotlight a couple of our favorites from our exclusive screener
RITES
Overview: RITES Limited offers consultancy, engineering, and project management services across various sectors including railways, highways, and renewable energy, with a market capitalization of approximately ₹178.47 billion.
Operations: RITES Limited generates revenue from several key segments, including domestic consultancy at ₹11.94 billion, domestic turnkey construction projects at ₹9.03 billion, domestic leasing at ₹1.38 billion, exports at ₹1.03 billion, and consultancy abroad at ₹0.95 billion.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 20.6%
RITES Ltd., currently trading at ₹742.7, which is 20.6% below its estimated fair value of ₹935.47, appears undervalued based on discounted cash flow analysis. Despite a robust partnership strategy as evidenced by recent MoUs with DMRC and others for comprehensive railway management and operations, the company's dividend sustainability is questionable due to insufficient coverage by earnings or cash flows. However, RITES shows promising revenue growth forecasts at 13.4% annually, outpacing the Indian market's 9.7%, though its annual profit growth projection of 18.54% slightly exceeds the market but doesn't reach high growth thresholds.
Texmaco Rail & Engineering
Overview: Texmaco Rail & Engineering Limited is an engineering and infrastructure company operating both in India and internationally, with a market capitalization of approximately ₹108.66 billion.
Operations: Texmaco Rail & Engineering's revenue is generated from three primary segments: the Freight Car Division, which brings in ₹27.50 billion, and two infrastructure segments—Electrical and Rail & Green Energy—which contribute ₹2.26 billion and ₹5.27 billion, respectively.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 17.9%
Texmaco Rail & Engineering, priced at ₹272, is below the calculated fair value of ₹331.25, suggesting undervaluation based on cash flows. Despite this, its forecasted annual earnings growth of 28.9% surpasses the Indian market's 15.8%, and revenue growth expectations at 14.2% annually also outdo the market average of 9.7%. However, its Return on Equity is expected to remain low at 9.4%. Recent dividend approval and positive earnings reports indicate financial health but share price volatility persists.
Vedanta
Overview: Vedanta Limited is a diversified natural resources company engaged in exploring, extracting, and processing minerals and oil and gas across India, Europe, China, the United States, Mexico, and other global markets with a market capitalization of approximately ₹1.73 trillion.
Operations: Vedanta's revenue is primarily derived from Aluminium (₹483.71 billion), Zinc - India (₹279.25 billion), Copper (₹197.30 billion), Oil and Gas (₹178.37 billion), Power (₹61.53 billion), Iron Ore (₹90.69 billion), and Zinc - International (₅35.56 billion).
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 37.5%
Vedanta Limited, priced at ₹465.65, trades below its fair value estimate of ₹745.13, indicating a potential undervaluation based on cash flows. While the company's profit margins have declined from 7.2% to 3%, its earnings are expected to grow by 43.25% annually, outpacing the Indian market forecast of 15.8%. However, it carries a high debt level and its dividends are not well covered by earnings, posing risks despite the growth prospects and current discount to fair value.
