FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
1) Attractive Valuation of 2 X Forward PE (FY10) and U.S $ 53.45 / tonne of refining capacity
2) GRMs for Q1FY10 were at $ 6.8 /bbl and this parameter is expected to remain at these levels for the rest of the year
3) FY09 was "Annus Horribilis' for the company. In Q3FY09 when crude prices crashed, the company lost 1926 Crs due to inventory losses incurred
4) CPCL continues to enjoy A1+ rating from ICRA for its CP/ Short-Term NCD programme (Highest Quality rating)
INVESTMENT THESIS
1) Good visibility for FY10 with crude prices on upward trajectory. CPCL expected to benefit from increased use of heavier crude as well as operational efficiency gains
2) Merger with IOC is a possibility & would be a negative for the stock. However, National Iran Oil has indicated that it prefers CPCL to remain standalone
3) Risk remains that Govt. will re-tinker with petrol/deisel subsidy sharing mechanim if crude shoots up again
4) Expect Stock to outperform in the coming year. Valuation on replacement basis will provide support. BUY with a 1-yr target price of 300
