Outlook

NMDC’s 4QFY2011 net sales was above our estimate, however, margins were below our estimates on account of higher-than-expected increase in selling and royalty costs. Prices of iron ore have declined slightly in the domestic market in the last two months. During May2011, NMDC had announced that it will cut iron ore prices by ~15%. Also, NMDC’s volume growth remains at risk on account of Naxals activity in some of its mines. We will lower our margin estimates for FY2012 and FY2013 in light of higher-than-expected selling costs reported in 4QFY2011. The stock is currently trading at a 6.6x FY2012E and 5.3x FY2013E EV/ EBITDA. We maintain Neutral rating on the stock.
