Wealth management assignment IDFC

About the company:


Infrastructure Development Finance Company Ltd (IDFC) was set up in 1997 and is currently India's leading integrated infrastructure finance player providing end to end infrastructure financing and project implementation services. The company's main business is to provide finance for infrastructure projects including through ownership of infrastructure assets. They operate a full range of business lines, from project and corporate finance to asset management (mutual funds and alternatives) and investment banking. They are engaged in providing finance and advisory services for infrastructure projects, asset management and investment banking.

Future prospects:
IDFCs future prospects are linked with the outlook of the Infrastructure sector. Indias infrastructure sector is one of the fastest growing sectors in the World. With the Indian economy on a high growth path on a secular long term basis and with the Governments initiatives towards infrastructure development, Indian infrastructure sector is expected to have significant growth opportunities. The Government has a goal of investing $ 1 trillion in infrastructure over the next five years. IDFC works closely with government entities and regulators to advise and assist them in formulating policy and regulatory frameworks that support private investment and public-private partnerships in infrastructure development. In the next five years, the loan demand from infrastructure projects is expected at $ 600-800 bn and the company is thinking of financing $ 10 bn, keeping its healthy assets quality intact.

Key Concerns:
Project finance is very capital-intensive and offers a low ROE. So, the Company diversified in the related-business - investment banking, advisory business and a private and public asset management business, which requires minimal capital and where it can maintain high ROE.

Policy uncertainties relating to land acquisition, input linkages, tariff-setting, etc. Increasing competition with banks and other NBFCs. Policy rate hikes of 250-300 basis points by the RBI to control inflation, in the last 1.5 years, is impacting loan demand and increasing cost of funds.

IDFC, in the last 10 years, increased its operating income by 31% on a stand-alone basis, from Rs. 401 Cr. in FY02 to Rs. 4546 Cr. in FY11. During the same period of time, its EPS has grown by 18%, from Rs. 1.9 to Rs. 8.5 and book value per share by 19%, from Rs. 14.7 to Rs. 69.8.

At the end of the FY11, its consolidated operating income stood at Rs. 4916.7 Cr., EPS at Rs. 8.55 and BVPS at Rs. 71.IDFC managed to maintain a six-year-average ROA (Return on assets) at 3.3%, which is significantly higher than the benchmark of 1.25%. As of March 31, 2011, its net non-performing assets were 0.1%, which shows its asset quality is very good. IDFC's capital adequacy ratio stood at 24.48% of the risk weighted assets, as against the minimum requirement of 15%.

Conclusion:
In a nut shell, IDFC has shown tremendous performance in the past. Thus given the growth projection of INDIA in the future I feel there is tremendous growth opportunity for IDFC which is bound to be reflected in the share price soon so I recommend a strong BUY for this stock at current market price which is 104.
