Heads up! These 10 stocks are expected to more than double their profit in Q4

Experts feel companies could post double-digit earnings growth soon because the corporate investment cycle has started and the risk appetite is improving and GDP growth outlook is strong

The fourth quarter corporate earning season is just around the corner and that will be one major trigger for the market in the short term, aside of the general elections. The Q4FY19 earnings are expected to be a repeat of Q3 with financials driving the performance.

Experts feel companies could post double-digit earnings growth soon because the corporate investment cycle has started and the risk appetite is improving and GDP growth outlook is strong. Low base effect is expected to aid growth numbers further.

“We expect Nifty50 earnings to grow by a CAGR of 19% for the next three years (FY18-21E). Based on forward PE of 17-18x, we get the one year forward Nifty50 range of 12,500-13,000,” Rusmik Oza, Head of Fundamental Research, Kotak Securities told Moneycontrol.

“Between the three year period of FY19-21E the maximum growth in earnings is likely to come in FY20 because of lower base and steep jump in earnings of banking & finance sector, which accounts for the maximum weight in the Nifty50,” he said.

Here is a list of top 10 stocks that could double their net profit on a year-on-year (YoY) basis in March quarter:

GE T&D | Rating: Neutral | Net Profit Growth: 117% YoY

Motilal Oswal expects GE T&D to register revenue growth of 32 percent on a YoY basis at Rs 1,070 crore in 4QFY19. The revenue growth will supported by the weak base of 4QFY18.

The brokerage firm expects the company's operating profit to be at Rs 100 crore in 4QFY19 as against Rs 17.9 crore in 4QFY18.

Operating margins are expected to improve 740 bps at normalised level to 9.6 percent. Margins in 4QFY18 (2.2 percent) were impacted by weak execution leading to operating deleverage.

Alkem Laboratories | Buy| Net Profit Growth: 166% YoY

Motilal Oswal expects the company to witness a strong revenue increase of 31 percent on a YoY basis led by strong growth in India and international business.

The domestic business is expected to grow 43 percent on a YoY basis to Rs 1,370 crore. The US business is expected to grow about 51 percent YoY led by new product launches.

Revenue from other international markets is expected to grow at a much lower rate of 17 percent YoY, offsetting growth to some extent.

Granules India | Buy| Net Profit Growth 234% YoY

Motilal Oswal expects more than 200 percent growth in net profit to Rs 57.5 crore on account of margin expansion and lower tax rate. Topline or net sales is likely to increase 29 percent to Rs 651.80 crore for the quarter ended March.

“We expect Granules India (GRAN) to post strong 29 percent YoY sales growth in 4QFY19 at Rs 650 crore on the back of enhanced traction in the formulation business and commercialization of its new API/PFI facility,” said the report.

The brokerage firm remained positive on Granules India as it is almost through with its capex cycle and the company is in the process to reap benefits on the back of increased revenue from US formulations, better capacity utilization which will further improve return ratios as well.
