    Synopsis

    We have been overweight on the automobile sector post 3QFY11 with ~88% of the

    stocks having a positive view as compared to only ~43% in the preceding quarter. This

    was despite the near term concerns like higher interest rate/inflation, base effect, etc.

    Our view was primarily based on (1) Valuations (especially relative valuations), whichwere trading at a significant discount due to excessive focus on near term concerns

    (2) Strong cash flow generation and high ROIC business (3) Our FY11-FY13E estimates

    factoring in the slowdown impact.

    Our automobile universe has since then outperformed the broader market indices

    significantly with some stocks even posting absolute returns. Despite the strong

    relative outperformance, we still find the current valuations reasonable as our analysis

    reveals adequate near term positives as well as long term triggers. The near term

    positives emerge from (1) High base effect of inflation/interest rate (2) Favorable base

    effect for IIP (3) Good monsoon and (4) Easing of raw material cost pressures.

    Similarly, our long term analysis reveals ample growth potential across segments,which are enumerated below..

    M&HCVs The positives emerge from (1) High multiplier effect (2) Strong demand

    during weak IIP but strong agri GDP (3) Diminishing lag impact of IIP and (4) No

    impact of higher fuel prices on demand. Also, availability of finance is more important

    than interest rates

    Tractors The positives emerge from (1) High multiplier effect (2) Higher farm

    income and land prices (3) Increasing reach of formal financing channels (4) Labour

    shortage and (5) Industry consolidation

    Passenger vehicles The positives emerge from (1) Low penetration levels (income

    and geographical) (2) High multiplier effect (3) Significant correlation with wealth

    creation & employment and (4) availability of finance rather than interest rates

    Two wheelers The positives emerge from (1) Low penetration levels (income and

    geographical) (2) Rising rural income vis--vis urban income (3) Low reliance on

    finance (stable demand) and (4) Improving multiplier effect (since FY08)

    However, we would like to caution that the near term concerns are yet to play out fully

    and expect 3QFY12 to witness maximum impact of the same. The impact will be

    different across segments. We expect maximum impact on PVs/M&HCVs. The recent

    strong outperformance of the stocks can result in a subdued performance of the

    sector in the near term. We believe 3QFY12 provides a solid opportunity to re-enter

    auto stocks.

    We retain our overweight position on the sector. However, from here on, maximum

    value is in four wheelers mainly due to upgrade in valuations as well as earnings over

    next 4 quarters. From hereon, two wheeler stocks will track earnings/dividend yield

    with limited scope for valuation re-rating. Also, we are changing our recommendations.

    We have downgraded our rating for two wheeler stocks a notch lower. We downgrade

    Bajaj Auto from BUY to ACCUMULATE, Hero Honda from HOLD to REDUCE and TVS

    Motor from ACCUMULATE to HOLD. We retain BUY on M&M, Tata Motors and Eicher

    Motors. Despite attractive valuations, we retain our ACCUMULATE on Ashok Leyland

    and Maruti, due to company specific issues. Key concerns arise from a slump in

    economic activity and /or a sharp jump in metal prices.

    We have been overweight on the sector post 3QFY11, despiteobvious near term concerns

    As can be seen from the graph below, we have been significantly overweight on the

    sector, post 3QFY11 results with positive outlook on 88% of the stocks under our coverage

    as compared to 43% in the preceding quarter. This was despite obvious near term

    concerns like lower IIP/GDP, higher interest rates/inflation, expected diesel price hikeand the high base effect of the last two years.

    Changing view on the sector, post the result season

    Our overweight view on the sector stands vindicated as is reflected by the strong relative

    performance of most auto stocks, with select stocks delivering absolute performance

    (refer graphs below).

    Our view on sector and sector performance

    Source: Bloomberg, Emkay Research

    Stock performance (relative to nifty)

    Our view was based on valuations, especially relativevaluationsthough some catch up has happened since then

    Relative valuations were the most important factor for our overweight view on the sector.

    Relative valuations of most auto companies were at a discount to that of broader indices

    implying that the street was (1) excessively focusing on near term earnings and (2)

    ignoring the strong balance sheet and cash flow generation. Since then, the valuation

    gap has been bridged to some extent, owing to the recent outperformance of most auto

    stocks.

    Despite the recent run up, valuations still leave room forupsides

    Near term concerns are yet to play out fully; 3QFY12 to witness maximumimpact

    The impact of slowdown is yet to be fully visible. We expect 3QFY12 to reflect the fullimpact of higher interest rate, inflation, etc. The recent outperformance of the stocks can

    result in a period of stock underperformance. However, the impact will be diverse across

    segments and across players. We expect maximum impact on PV/M&HCVs. We expect

    lower impact on two wheelers/UVs/tractors. We believe that 3QFY12 will provide a good

    opportunity to re-enter the auto stocks as there are near term as well as long term positives

    (discussed separately), which are likely to drive stock performance.

    Cyclicality of demand resulting in moderation in growth

    As can be seen from the graphs below, increase in interest rates seem to result in slower

    demand growth. A pertinent point to note is that a sustained increase in interest rates

    generally follows a strong demand environment. The auto industry is inherently cyclical in

    the short term, resulting in periods of above average growth and below average growth.

    More importantly, higher interest rates have not resulted in decline in demand, except

    for 2008 period. The decline in two wheelers during FY07-FY08 was also due to systemic

    issues, resulting in sharp fall in penetration of finance.

    Our FY11-13 estimates factor in above concerns

    Our volume estimates across segments factor in the above concerns and are still below

    the historical growth rates. What we have not factored in is a drop in demand in case of

    a slump in economic activity. Also, between FY12 and FY13, the growth is back ended.

    Near term positives

    Base effect of IIP/inflation and good monsoon are the sentimental positives

    Over the next two quarters, positive base effect will be the first sentimental positive

    towards auto stocks. As can be seen from the graph below, IIP has been subdued since

    August 2010. Similarly, inflation has been on the higher side for a long time now. The

    only uncertain area is high oil prices as it can delay the base effect benefit from coming

    into play. The monsoon season (till date) this year has been good not only in terms of

    quantity (1% below average) but also in terms of spread (only 4 areas with scant rainfall

    and rain dependent region receiving above average rainfall)

    Raw material costs - the wild card

    Our analysis indicates that metals account for ~22% to 45% of sales. It is lowest for two

    wheelers and highest for M&HCVs. Given below is the sensitivity of auto companies'

    margins to changes in metal prices.

    We believe that metal prices can be the wild card, providing positive surprises in the

    near term, We have built in a normal inflationary pressure of 7% per annum in our

    estimates for FY12 and FY13. HR steel and aluminum prices are trading at its historic

    highs (except for the CY09 period). Our interaction with various industry players indicate

    that they do not expect metal prices to increase in the same manner as in FY11. In the

    event of metal prices cooling off or stabilizing at the current levels, there can be positive

    margin surprises.

    Long term view

    We believe that the near term concerns provide an excellent opportunity to become

    overweight on auto, given the long term view. Based on analysis of each segment

    (commercial vehicles, tractors, passenger vehicle and two wheelers), we believe that

    the long term story in each segment is still intact and that demand will bounce back with

    a vigor. This has happened in the past and we expect the same to repeat. The biggest

    risk that we foresee to this is non availability of finance (rather than higher interest rate),

    lack of employment generation (due to slowdown in core economy) and slower wealth

    generation (reflected by Sensex/real estate prices). Given below is our analysis of growth

    prospects for each of the segments, which give a clear view on the structural strength of

    demand.

    Commercial vehicles

    Multiplier effect

    Our analysis of historical data indicates that the elasticity/multiplier effect on demand

    has increased over a period of time. We have calculated the multiplier effect as M&HCV

    trucks volume growth/IIP and volume growth/industry growth (based on constant prices).

    We have used 5/3 year rolling CAGR, as analysis on annualized basis is inherently

    cyclical and misleading. As can be seen from the graph below, both on 5 year and 3 year

    CAGR, the trend line has been inching up. For instance, the multiplier based on IIP has

    increased from 0.5x in FY87 to ~1.5x in FY11. This basically indicates that with growing

    economic activity, the freight generation in the system is increasing at a higher rate thanthe broader economic growth.

    3 Yr Multiplier effect of M&HCV trucks demand

    Higher share of agricultural commodities in road transport has also aidedthe multiplier

    Over the years, there has been an increase in the movement of agricultural commodities

    through road. As can be seen from the graph below, the share of road transport, which

    was at 3% in FY94, has increased to 11% in FY11. This has resulted in higher freight

    generation in the system, as corroborated by rising capacity utilization over the years

    (indicated by Industry+Agri GDP/ tonnage). This fact is also supported by the strong

    growth in M&HCV during weak IIP period especially when agri economy has done well

    as explained below.The sharp drop in the ratio during FY05-06 is due to implementation

    of ban on overloading, which resulted in structurally lower utilization of trucks.

    As can be seen from the graphs on next page, strong agricultural growth has resulted in

    robust volume growth despite a weak IIP. The only deviation has been FY99. The tables

    below highlight only those periods where IIP has been subdued and agriculture GDP

    has done well. In a strong IIP year, the performance of agriculture gets hidden. We also

    undertook a quarterly analysis to look at the data closely. We came up with the same

    conclusion (see table on next page).

    Movement of agri commodities by

    road has increased from ~3% to ~11%

    Freight rates - Ground check reveals strengthThe widely tracked TCI freight index has been indicating a subdued freight rate scenario.

    This has resulted in expectations of pressure on profitability of freight operators due to

    increase in capital cost, interest rate and fuel cost. However, our interaction with freight

    operators and verification of freight rates on trunk routes indicates that there is a divergence

    in the data captured by TCI index. As can be seen from the graphs below, since Dec08,

    there is a divergence in the TCI index and freight rates on trunk routes. Our interaction with

    freight operators indicates that freight rates have indeed gone up, which has enabled

    them to protect the cash flow generation despite strong inflationary pressure. Also, there

    is adequate availability of freight and hence, there are no major concerns with respect to

    under utilization of fleet.

    Demand and interest rate relationshipavailability of finance is important

    Contrary to perception, higher interest rates per se are not an impediment for demand

    growth from a long term perspective. It has a sentimental impact for a quarter or two. More

    important is the availability of finance and freight rates. As can be seen from the graphs

    below, despite rising interest rates during FY05-FY08, the penetration of finance has

    been stable resulting in volume growth over the period. Given the fact that agri economy isexpected to report a strong kharif season (third consecutive season of good crops), we

    expect concerns with respect to freight and M&HCV volumes to abate.

    Truck Vols ( '000 units) Diesel Price (RHS)

    Demand and diesel price relationship

    Interestingly, we did not come across an inverse relationship between truck sales and

    diesel prices. The first graph indicates movement of diesel prices and truck volumes. The

    second graph shows the relationship between change in diesel prices (MoM) and demand

    for trucks (YoY). In fact, we came across certain instances (FY08 and FY09) when reduction

    in diesel prices was accompanied by decline in demand.

    Strong multiplier impact with agriculture but not so strong with GDP

    As can be seen from the graphs below, there is a clear multiplier impact visible for tractors

    vis--vis agriculture. However, when compared to GDP, the multiplier impact is not really

    visible. This can be attributed to declining share of agriculture in the overall economy.

    Also, increasing use of tractors for non agri purpose will have some impact on the multiplier

    effect when co-related to GDP going ahead. We believe that this is sustainable and

    tractor demand can explode, going forward.

    Sharp increase in farm income

    There has been sharp increase in the farm income due to increased focus of the

    government on rural economy and MSP. Also, the yield has been improving over the years.

    More importantly, there is a direct correlation between demand for tractors and farm

    income. Rising farm income is the output of improving yield and higher MSP. The farmer's

    yield can further improve, given the increasing access to information and use of technology.The key reason for this is the role played by various fertilizer, FMCG and other rural

    economy related companies. Another important reason is rising wealth due to appreciation

    of land prices.

    Labour shortage - Key demand driver

    Labour shortage is one of the most important structural change that will drive farm

    mechanization. It is important to note that not only is there an increase in the number of

    households covered under the NREGA scheme, but also there is a sharp upward revision

    in minimum wages. Rising popularity of NREGA and other schemes, increasing penetrationas well focus of the government to curb leakages can further accentuate the labour

    shortage problem.

    Higher real income levels in hands of farmer

    Increasing reach of formal financing channels - to lower cost of borrowing

    Another important factor according to us, is the increasing focus of the RBI to raise the

    penetration of finance in the rural economy. This is clearly indicated by rising rural credit

    and more importantly, increase in bank's rural network. Another interesting point to note is

    that the increase in coverage is driven by reduction in branches and increase in mobileunits. This indicates focus on low cost/profitable business model. This makes us believe

    in the sustenance and increase in rural penetration of banks.

    Penetration levels continue to remain low

    Penetration levels based on income or geography continue to remain low. More importantly,

    penetration in the key income group (> Rs 200,000) is below FY05 levels. This is despite

    a strong 15% CAGR growth during FY05-FY11 period. We attribute this to a much faster

    increase in the population of key income group due to higher earnings. This is one of the

    key reasons why we believe that the Indian passenger vehicle industry can be 4.9mn

    units by 2015. (Refer to report Acceleration begins dated Jun10). Our analysis of

    geographical spread also confirms our view that the envisaged demand explosion is yet

    to occur owing to the inability of the OEMs to reach the interiors of the country.

    Multiplier effect

    Our analysis of historical data indicates that the elasticity/multiplier effect on demand has

    increased over a period of time. We have used 5 year rolling CAGR to GDP and GDP (ex

    Agri). Just as was the case with M&HCVs and tractors, both the 5 year as well as 3 year

    multiplier for PVs has been on an uptrend. We attribute this to higher income generation

    in rural/semi urban areas over the last 5 years. This fact is corroborated by our analysis on

    penetration (> 200,000 income group) as well as geographical spread, as mentioned

    above.

    Correlation with interest rate

    Historically, there has been little correlation between rising interest rate and its impact on

    demand. During FY09, we saw a sharp slowdown in demand due to higher interest rates.

    However, this period coincided with the global recession. More importantly, the demand

    bounced back with a vigor from mid FY10. It also pertinent to note that during FY09,

    penetration of finance had reduced, which also affected the demand, given the fact that

    there was ~65% penetration of finance during FY09.

    Fuel price and demand

    Contrary to perception, rise in fuel prices have failed to impact demand for cars. As can be

    seen from the graphs below, both petrol and diesel prices have been on the rise and so

    has been the demand for vehicles, as reflected by YoY change in monthly car sales.

    More important is the correlation with wealth creation

    There is a direct correlation between change in equity markets/real estate markets and

    demand for cars. This is despite a steady income generation amongst the target audience.

    We attribute this to psychological issues as people tend to postpone discretionary spends

    during periods of crisis. Given India's high savings rate, demand generally bounces back

    with vigor.

    The penetration of two wheelers continues to remain low. More importantly, the

    geographical reach of OEMs is also very low. This is evident from the wide disparity in

    penetration of two wheelers in rural areas with population of > 2000 (200 per 1000) and >

    than 5000 (500 per 1000). Similarly, the penetration in the urban areas is also hovering at

    ~200 per 1000 or below. This indicates the opportunity size of the demand for two wheelers.

    The villages in the range of 2000 to 5000 people account for ~32% of rural population.

    Note: >10K constitutes ~97% and 10K to 50K- ~19% of total urban populationSource: Census, Emkay Research

    Multiplier

    Unlike four wheelers, the multiplier impact has been constant to declining over the years.

    However, we believe that its future growth has the potential to surpass historical trends

    due to a number of factors like - increased government focus of on rural/agri economy

    (given the penetration of two wheelers in rural economy is similar to that of urban economy),

    lower dependence on finance and rising women population owning a two wheeler. Also,the long term trends are subdued due to their disappointing performance during FY06-

    FY08 period, where industry was passing through a tough phase due to systemic issues

    of bad debts.

    3 Yr multiplier effect on two wheeler demand

    Interest rate and availability of finance

    This is one of the structural reasons that make us believe that demand for two wheelers

    can be higher than the historical long term averages. The fact that reliance on finance to

    buy two wheelers is at its lowest, gives us the confidence that there is real strength in

    demand (demand pull). Good improvement in the income of the target populations gives

    us further confidence.

    Source: Industry, Emkay Research

    Demand strong despite highest loan rates .

    Source: Industry, Emkay Research

    and lowest finance penetration amongst segments

    Rural income fast catching up

    High rural demand for two wheeler (35% to 50% of total sales), faster increase in rural per

    capita GDP and low penetration are other important factors that will drive two wheeler

    demand faster than the historical trend line. Also, increasing awareness/exposure to

    various trends, higher young working age population, increasing women consumers and

    higher rural income will provide support to demand.

    Lower penetration of finance indicates

    structural demand

    Wealth effect is not so clear

    Unlike passenger vehicles, there is no clear relationship between two wheeler demand

    and real estate prices or movement in Sensex. This can be attributed to low ticket size and

    also the rural population's limited exposure to stock markets/real estate markets.

    Volume growth to pick up

    AL witnessed a sharp drop in volumes in 1QFY12 due to ongoing elections in certain

    southern states and sluggish mining activities. Overall industry reported 7% volume

    growth for 1QFY12. Management expects pick up in mining activities and positive industrygrowth despite a high base (emission norms impact). We believe that the worst is over for

    Ashok Leyland and expect it to benefit from up tick in industry demand leading to ~9%

    CAGR during FY11-13E.

    Exports- can be the next big volume driver

    Over the years, exports for the company have been gaining traction. It should be noted that

    the company intends to be amongst the top 10 global M&HCV manufacturers (FY11

    Annual report). We believe that exports can provide the required cushion to market share

    pressures in the domestic market and lead to ~8% volume CAGR over FY11-13E.

    Focus on diversifying the revenue stream

    We believe that management has realized the potential risk of higher competition in theM&HCV space. As a result, it is taking steps to reduce its dependence on the cyclical

    M&HCV business by diversifying the revenue stream to encompass (1) exports (2) entry in

    to LCVs (3) defense and engine sales. We expect the company to benefit from these in the

    long term. AL plans to commence LCV manufacturing activity at its Hosur plant which will

    be margin accretive in our view.

    Higher Pantnagar contribution to cushion margins

    Management has guided for a production target of 36,000-40,000 units in FY12 at the tax

    free Pantnagar plant. Considering the Q1FY12 production from Pantnagar at 6,000 units,

    we expect the annual production for FY12 at ~30,000 units.

    ValuationsAt Rs 26, the stock trades at FY13E PER/EV-EBIDTA of 9.1x/4.8x. We view AL as a cyclical

    stock and believe the earnings based valuations are misleading due to inability to forecast

    the cycles (upturn/downturn). We prefer to focus on other lead indicators like P/BV, which

    we find attractive. For AL, we found dividend yield as the most important lead indicator

    (refer to our note titled - 'Focus on lead indicators'). We retain our ACCUMULATE rating on

    the stock.

    September, 2011 Focus on demand pull to ensure market share gains with

    strong profitability. 1QFY12 domestic motorcycle market share

    at ~25% is below its FY07 peak of ~32%

    Factored DEPB withdrawal in our estimates. Extension of thescheme to result in EPS upgrade of ~7%. Expect exports to

    remain the key growth driver irrespective of DEPB

    Raised our FY12/FY13 EPS est. by 2.4% /2.3% to Rs 99/Rs 115.

    Raise TP to Rs 1,950 valuing the company at 17x FY13 PE

    (earlier 15x) due to high FCF, return ratios and dividend

    However, lower our rating to ACCUMULATE from BUY. We

    believe there is limited scope for valuation rerating from

    hereon. Stock performance will be driven by earnings

    Traction in volumes with focus on profitability

    We expect Bajaj Auto to register volume growth of 15.5% CAGR over FY11-13E to 5mn

    units driven by (1) launch of new products/variants within its umbrella brands (Discover

    and Pulsar) (2) introduction of Boxer in the domestic market (3) sustained momentum in

    domestic 3-wheelers at ~12% CAGR to 0.26mn units and (4) ~19% CAGR in exports to

    1.7mn units (with an upward bias).

    Market share assumptions for motorcycles leave room for upsides

    We are not factoring in market share gain for the company during FY11-FY13E post the

    500bps increase over the last two years to 27% (FY11). We would like to highlight that

    company has not yet regained its peak motorcycle market share of 32% (FY07). Given the

    absolute focus on two mother brands (Discover and Pulsar) and pull demand, there exist

    upsides to our market share estimates. We would prefer to see the traction in recent/

    expected launches and addition of 130 dealers before factoring in the same.

    Focus on profitability to aid market share gain in the long term

    A clear shift in strategy towards profitability/margins vis--vis market share should actually

    aid BJAUT gain market share in the domestic two wheeler industry in the long term. This

    is on account of the company focusing on all aspects of product success - customer

    preference, maintenance cost, after sales, quality of dealership and customer satisfaction.

    Factoring in DEPB withdrawal but upside from currency exists

    Post 4QFY11 earnings, we have lowered the export incentives for the company from ~10%

    to 5% of exports to factor in the risk of withdrawal of the scheme. Any extension in the

    scheme will result in an EPS upgrade by ~7%. Exports will continue to be key growth

    driver, irrespective of DEPB benefits.

    Valuation and view

    We expect earnings to register a ~12% CAGR during FY11-FY13E, with a strong case for

    upward bias. We have revised our FY12/FY13 EPS estimates by 2.4%/2.3% to Rs 99/Rs

    115 driven by volumes. We have raised our TP to Rs 1,950 valuing the company at FY13

    PER/EV-EBIDTA of 17x/11.7x, given the high FCF, return ratios and dividend. However, we

    lower our rating to ACCUMUATE from BUY. From here, we believe that there is limited

    scope for rerating of valuations. Stock performance will be driven by volumes/earnings.

    existing business at Rs 1,547 and engine business at Rs 153.

    Key risk - sharp downturn in CV demand

    7.5 to 12 ton M&HCVs outperform during slowdown, EIM-thebeneficiary

    During a cyclical slowdown, ICVs tend to gain market share and during a cyclical upturn,

    HCVs gain market share. This is a normal phenomenon as during slowdown there are

    concerns of asset utilization and hence, preference shifts to ICVs. This is one of the key

    reasons for our positive view towards Eicher (EIM), as 7.5 to 12 ton accounts for ~65% of

    EIM's truck volumes.

    12 to 16 ton - market share has crossed the previous peak of 6%

    EIM's market share in the 12 to 16 ton segment has crossed the previous peak of ~6%. It

    currently stands at ~7%. Also, this segment now accounts for 11% of EIM's truck volumes

    and ~8% of EIM's total CV volumes. More importantly, EIM is focusing on creating brand

    awareness for its 25 ton and 31 ton vehicles, so that it can participate when the demand

    enters the cyclical upturn phase.

    Two wheeler business - should benefit from clear focus

    EIM's two wheeler (Royal Enfield) business is an underutilized business with lower

    capacities and margins of ~13% despite the strong brand equity. Clear focus on the

    business will ensure swift capacity additions and higher margins.

    Engine business - a strong outsourcing opportunity and a stablebusiness

    Engine manufacturing to commence from CY13 will not only provide support to EIM's

    existing business but will also ensure a stable outsourcing business to Volvo. Initial

    capacity planned is for 85,000 units that will manufacture engine from Euro II to Euro VII

    and meet the requirements of EIM as well as Volvo (India/Japan/Europe)
