MR greedy and his reliance power,Rnrl,adlabs,reliance capital etc
Share price of Reliance Power has again gained ground to touch its IPO price. It has happened MAINLY and ONLY due to the liberal bonus issue which can never never be justified.Its a shell company has got nothing,no profits,no sales:god knows how they can simply declare a bonus....Previously i guess it never happened in the history of indian stock markets...If cat sits on chair of Tiger, it dont transform into a real Tiger....
If promoters and merchant bankers (globally renowned who perhaps started condering themselves to be Maa-Baap of Indian investors and also Demi-Gods) had any iota of decency and morality left in them (post infliction of never-before-seen levels of losses on investing public), they should have accepted their collective mistakes that they had done wrong-pricing. Instead,promoter roared back with demand to SEBI for enquiry into fall in R Power share price that "it has been engineered by rivals". Firstly, any shareholder of a company (whether he is an ordinary investor or a deemed rival) has a business right to buy anytime and sell anytime any quantity of shares of any listed entity. There is a saying that 'If you are scared of heat, dont enter the kitchen". If Mr Ambani is afraid of selling by rivals, then pl stop plans of further IPOs and should concentrate his energies in getting his companies delisted from stock exchanges(rather than suggesting long term value to investors). Secondly, he is crying wolf when share price of R Power has come down. What about brazen rise in share price of all his group companies and He never complained that rivals were trying to Buy shares of his companies to dethrone him/hostile take-over? Just have a look:
COMPANY S H A R E P R I C E I N 2007

Reliance Capital 560/ 2925/
Reliance Energy 448/ 2623/
Reliance Capital 560/ 2925/
Adlab 380/ 1940/
RNRL (Rs 5F.V.) 21/ 250/
Had proverbial Third Eye of Lord Shivji had opened which led to such unheard of rise in share prices? Definitely not. There has been hardly any improvement in financial performance of above companies. Rather, above scrips should have been underperformer. Clearly, it was a well organised gameplan to ramp share prices of each listed entity as Group had been planning to raise over 30,000 crs from public in 2008 alone.If share price of R Power had been ruling at 650, IPO of R Infratel would have hit the streets by now. However, 2nd time, God came to the rescue of pitiable state of investors. If Ant was trying to climb the mountain, it has fall sooner or later. SEBI, even if it is willing, may not be able to investigate in brazen manipulation of above companies' share prices as talks do rounds in the market that such manipulations are not possible without collusion of politicians and bureaucrats...

Andhra Bank
Cluster: Cannonball
Recommendation: Buy
Price target: Rs117
Current market price: Rs91
Andhra Bank reported its Q3FY2008 results with the net profit going up by 16.7% year on year (yoy) and 5.2% quarter on quarter (qoq). The year-on-year (y-o-y) growth was driven by higher other income (up 29.3%) and lower staff expenses (down by 17.8%). The core performance was better than that of last quarter (Q2FY2008) with the net interest margin (NIM) improving slightly due to a slim reduction in the cost of deposits.
The bank's advances grew 22.7% yoy and 2.7% qoq with the net interest income (NII) going up by 1.8% yoy and 7.4% qoq. Our calculations suggest that the bank's NIM improved by 10 basis points qoq mainly due to the increase in the yield on advances (7 basis points) and a reduction in the cost of deposits (10 basis points). An increase of 290 basis points qoq in the low-cost savings account and current account (CASA) deposit base helped matters.
The non-interest income grew by 11.1% yoy to Rs147.7 crore due to a 258.7% jump in the treasury income, while the core fee income showed a decline of 3.7% yoy. The fall in the core fee income is a cause for concern though the management expects this to improve going forward with an increase in the income from distribution of third party products.
The operating expenses fell by a moderate 2.6% yoy helped by a 17.8% fall in employee costs, which is in contrast to other public sector unit (PSU) banks. The main reason for the fall in the employee costs is the bank's decision to adjust the transitional liability on account of AS-15 (amounting to about Rs375 crore) against the reserves. Upto Q2FY2008 the bank used to make an adhoc provision for this liability.
This coupled with a 4.3% y-o-y growth in the net total income resulted in a moderate growth of 10.5% yoy in pre-provisioning profits. Provisions were lower at Rs 27.8 crore due largely to a write back of investment depreciation (Rs15 crore) and lower standard asset provision.
Andhra Bank's business grew quite strongly with the advances up by 22.4% yoy. The deposits mirrored the advances growth going up by 21.6% yoy. The deposits were down 1.2% qoq, which is an indication of the bank giving up some of the high-cost deposits.
Despite the strong growth in the advances, the asset quality continued to remain among the best in the industry with the gross non-performing assets (GNPA) at 1.35% and the net non-performing assets (NNPA) at 0.16%.
As these quarterly results indicate, the pressure on margins is easing and the situation should improve going forward. The capital adequacy levels are comfortable at 12.03% with the Tier-I capital adequacy ratio (CAR) at around 8-9%, which is not a constraint on growth. The asset quality continues to remain among the best in the industry. At the current market price of Rs91, the stock is quoting at 6.3x its FY2009E earnings per share (EPS), 3.4x pre-provision profits (PPP) and 1.1x book value (BV). The stock is available at attractive valuations given its low price to book multiple compared with its peers. We maintain our Buy call on the stock with a price target of Rs117.
