Chennai Petroleum (Q1 FY11) – BUY (Target Rs280, Upside 14.1%)

India Infoline Research Team / 15:46 , Jul 29, 2010

CMP Rs245, Target Rs280, Upside 14.1%

  • Revenues rise 11.8% yoy, but substantially below our expectations on account of lower throughput as the incremental 1mn ton capacity which was added recently was under stabilization phase. Total throughput was lower by 13.4% yoy at 2.3mn tons.
  • GRMs were at US$1.8/bbl as against US$6.9/bbl in Q1 FY10 and US$4.3/bbl in Q4 FY10, much lower than expectations. The management has guided for US$4.5/bbl GRM in Q2 FY11.
  • The company reported a net loss of Rs553mn v/s a profit of Rs3bn in Q1 FY10. This is a second consecutive quarter of loss for the company.
  • We have lowered our estimates to factor in weaker than expected results and have reduced our target price to Rs280. Maintain BUY rating.
