Reason #1: Under-researched stocks = Higher returns. For similar improvement in RoEs, under-researched stocks
1
have generated better returns . The Indian small/mid-cap (SMID) space has also produced the maximum number of 10
2
baggers over the past decade in the region .
Reason #2: Its not just beta. Post GFC, correlations of the BSE mid-cap index vs the Nifty has been falling while RoE
3
dispersion within the SMID space has magnified , making stock selection more important.
Reason #3: Alpha generation. Macro-economic cycles can be played via sector rotation strategies, but stock selection
4
cost of equity (i.e., low PB/RoE) has proved to be the most rewarding strategy over the past five years .
Is there a method to the SMID madness? We have assessed the predictive capability of 10 financial parameters over
the past five years. We rank the SMID universe using the four factors that our backtests reflect as the statistically most
influential drivers of share price performance (RoE, PB/RoE, EPS growth, RoE momentum). Our backtests show that
selecting the top quartile stocks based on our four-factor merit order would have led to 20% CAGR over five years from
6
2008 to 2012 . Our findings largely align with our regional Emerging Company approach of identifying Value Creators
(Refer report Value Creators by Jeremy Sutch).

Emerging companies is
a sub-set of the SMID
space that can generate
higher returns and
higher sustainable
growth rates
How do we define the space? We define the Indian small/mid-cap (SMID) space as companies
with a market cap of USD 300mn-3bn excluding financial and real estate companies. Consistent
with our global approach to the space, our task in tackling the SMID space is to find that sub-set
of companies which we define as emerging companies that have the ability to generate
higher returns and faster growth rates for a sustainable period, be it via a differentiated business
model or superior management.

Under-researched stocks deliver higher returns. We note that relatively less researched
stocks can generate higher returns for the same amount of improvement in fundamentals. For
example, within the universe of stocks with >20ppt increase in RoE over 2010-13, the least
covered stocks generated the highest returns.

Its not just a beta play. The correlation between the BSE mid-cap index (our proxy for the
SMID space) and the Nifty has steadily declined since 2008 and currently sits at an all-time low.
This supports our view that stock selection is critical for driving investor returns, especially post
GFC. We also find that dispersion in fundamentals is more pronounced now the RoEs for the
top performing companies improved by c.300bps in 2008-12 while the RoEs for the worst
performing ones fell by c.2,500bps in the same period. This compares to 2003-07 when RoEs
improved for even the worst performing companies.

Play macro through sectors, micro through stocks. We notice that merely having sector bias
in the portfolio can capture macro-economic themes (e.g., consumer stocks have outperformed
over the past five years while construction stocks have lagged owing to stimulus-induced
consumption strength coupled with policy related bottlenecks slowing investment activity).
However, within sectors, stocks with stronger fundamentals have generated better returns. Some
examples of high RoEs leading to better returns within sectors are given below.

Liquidity and
governance need due
consideration
But there are risks. Two key risks that investors need to be particularly cognizant of while
investing in the Indian SMID space are (1) liquidity risk - liquidity is correlated to stock prices and
dries up in times of distress and (2) corporate governance issues, which can rapidly erode multimonth gains.
What distinguishes performance of stocks? We have assessed 10 financial parameters on
how predictive they are of stock performance. Our analysis suggests that choosing companies (1)
with highest RoEs and (2) whose stock prices discount the highest cost of equity has proven to
be the most successful strategy. Other strategies that have been successful are EPS growth and
RoE momentum. Surprisingly, PBR and cash conversion ratio have not worked in the past.

How do we screen small/mid-caps? We have screened the SMID space based on weighted
average of the four parameters that have been most well-rewarded in the past five years, viz.
RoE (35% weight), PB/RoE (35% weight), EPS growth (15% weight) and RoE momentum (15%
weight). We have assigned weights based on the predictive success rate of these parameters.
Our backtests show that selecting the top quartile stocks based on our four-factor merit order
would have led to 20% CAGR over five years from 2008 to 2012 (Fig. 69). The criteria we have
selected above are also largely in line with the key differentiators we look for when identifying
value creators globally (Refer report Value Creators by Jeremy Sutch). Of the names appearing
in the top quartile of our screen, seven are covered by SC research with a rating of O/P or I/L. We
also have U/P rating on one name featuring in top quartile. We have highlighted the seven stocks
backed by our fundamental research call in this report.

Our target is to find such companies (emerging companies) within this universe that have
potential to deliver higher returns with higher growth.
The BSE mid-cap index (proxy for the SMID space) is no longer a levered play on the broader
market momentum and has been range-bound since 2008. We also do not find current
valuations on an aggregate level very compelling, especially given deteriorating overall
fundamentals. Stock picking is key.
The SMID space is attracting interest from both strategic and foreign institutional buyers. We
look for early warning signals in the space in this environment and find that significant
dislocations from mean PER provide important early warning signals for predicting a turn in
market momentum.
India has over 4,000
listed companies, but
there is a lot of noise
Definition of the Indian SMID space. India has one of the deepest markets in the region with
over 4,000 companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange. Incredibly, c.3,500 of these
companies are less than USD 100mn in market capitalisation. For practical reasons and to
remain relevant to our client base, of the balance c.500 companies, we will be focussing on
companies with market cap between USD 300mn and USD 3bn (255 companies). In line with our
global approach to the SMID space, we exclude financials and real estate from our universe
leaving us with 198 companies.

Some key attributes of the SMID space. We use the BSE mid-cap index as a proxy to the
SMID space given it most accurately represents our target universe. Besides, the BSE mid-cap
index has over 250 names, so we expect any data inconsistencies to be evened out given the
large sample size. A look at the relative performance of the BSE mid-cap index vs the Nifty for
the past five years is given in the figure below.

Relative valuations
are above the longterm mean for the
BSE mid-cap index.
Fundamentals in the
SMID space are
deteriorating faster
25 June 2013
Valuations. While the BSE mid-cap index has underperformed the Nifty since the GFC, we note
that valuations are only now getting towards lows. This is reflective of the deteriorating
fundamentals of the Indian SMID space. RoE for the Indian mid-cap index/Nifty is at near lows
now. In addition, if we look at stressed loans in the SMID book for Indias largest lender (SBI), we
get a sense of challenging fundamentals of the Indian SMID space vis-a-vis the large cap space.
A look at the ratio of 3-year average RoEs and EPS growth of the SMIDs (ex- financials/real
estate) covered by us vs 3-year average RoEs and EPS growth of large caps covered by us (exfinancials/real estate) also points to faster deteriorating fundamentals for SMIDs vs large caps.
All of this leads us to the conclusion that while the Indian SMID space has been a laggard, a lot of
it is justified by fundamentals. Investors should target returns through stock picking and focus on
companies with strong fundamentals.

M&A picking up. While overall valuations for the mid-cap index may not look very compelling,
a look at the acquisition activity in the mid-cap space shows that the Indian SMID space is
attracting interest from strategic investors again.

Obviously, most of the target companies are high-quality companies with strong corporate
governance records and investors would do well to be positioned in such names.
The SMID space is
attracting interest from
both strategic and
institutional foreign
investors
Shareholding trends. It seems that the Indian SMID space is not just attracting strategic
investors, but also foreign institutional investors with foreign shareholding in the space at all-time
highs. While overall institutional shareholding in the Indian SMID space (ex financials, ex real
estate) has remained stable at 24-26% since 2007, there has been a divergence between foreign
and domestic institutional shareholding. We attribute this to the following, among other factors:
Greater amount of global liquidity leading to foreign portfolio flows
Slowdown in Indian mutual fund/insurance flows owing to regulatory restrictions

Dislocations in PE
multiple is an indicator
of impending turn
momentum
Early warning signals. With foreign institutional shareholding at all-time highs, we look for some
early warning signals that investors should be mindful of. It seems that while the BSE mid-cap
index has tracked EPS revisions well for the most part, instances where prices have deviated
significantly from the EPS trend (i.e., significant dislocations in PE multiples e.g., Dec-2007,
Jan-2009) can provide signals for impending turn in market momentum. This is evident from the
figure below. As can be seen below, significant deviations from mean PER can provide an early
warning signal for returns of the BSE mid-cap index over the next 12 months. Currently, the 12month forward PER is below mean but not significantly, indicating that investors need to rely on
stock selection for returns over the next 12 months.

Interestingly, it seems that a capital raising frenzy by Indian SMID companies often pre-dates

Liquidity. A comparison of free float as a percentage of total shares outstanding for the BSE
mid-cap index vs the Nifty is given below. SMIDs seem to have lower free float vs large caps,
which compounds the liquidity issues faced by the sector.

In addition, we would like to point out that liquidity in the SMID space tends to be correlated to
stock prices, exaggerating risks during ebbing markets (Fig 39).
A more diversified
portfolio can help
offset higher volatility
in SMID stocks
Volatility. Intuitively, lower liquidity should also mean higher volatility for Indian SMIDs. A
comparison of BSE mid-cap index volatility with Nifty volatility over the five years from 2008 to
2012 is given in the figure below. While at first glance, lower volatility for the BSE mid-cap index
looks surprising, we attribute this primarily to difference in sample size. While the Nifty comprises
50 companies, the BSE mid-cap index comprises closer to 250 companies and therefore lower
concentration.

Note: Simple average of 30D realized volatility has been used to represent volatility in any particular year
However, the weighted average 30-day volatility of the top 50 BSE mid-cap index constituents
stands currently at 32% vs 28% for Nifty constituents. We have used index weights to compute
the weighted averages here.
From the above, we deduce that while on a like to like basis, volatility is higher for SMID stocks,
constructing a portfolio with a larger number of names can help in offsetting this risk to a large
extent signifying that optimum portfolio size should be somewhat higher for a SMID portfolio vs
a large cap portfolio. A portfolio with a larger number of names would also help mitigate and
distribute liquidity risks.
Our regional approach to the SMID space. Consistent with our regional approach to the asset
class, our ultimate objective in analyzing the asset class is to identify SMID companies that have
the potential to be large caps of the future. Essentially, our task in tackling small/mid cap is to find
that sub-set of companies which we define as emerging companies that have the ability to
generate higher returns and faster growth rates for a sustainable period, be it via differentiated
business models or superior management.
With the above regional approach in mind, we have tried to assess the most relevant systematic
approach in the Indian SMID context in this report.

We can also see the potential for differentiated returns that can be produced in the under-covered
space by looking at the rewards that similar improvement in returns can generate in relatively
under-covered names vs. well-covered names. From charts below it is quite clear that over a
medium term, there is value to be generated by investing in relatively undiscovered SMID stories
in India. For example, between all stocks that had an improvement of over 20ppt in their RoE
over 2010-13, stocks that had less than five analysts covering them delivered the best returns
over the past three and five years.

We recognize that there are obvious liquidity risks involved in picking SMID stocks vs large caps
and an SMID strategy may not be as scalable as a large cap strategy, but the simplistic analysis
above brings out an obviously differentiated and interesting return opportunity presented by the
asset class.
But there are risks
Liquidity risk can multiply in bad times. One risk that investors need to be cognizant of in the
context of SMID stocks in India is the fact that liquidity in the space tends to contract materially in
times of stress. Therefore, we would only recommend higher conviction bets in the space.

Corporate governance caveat emptor. We present below some cases where investors have
suffered at the hands of management teams with poor corporate governance track records.
Needless to say, corporate governance has to be a paramount focus while investing in Indian
SMID stocks.

Its not just beta anymore. We note that the BSE mid-cap index was highly correlated with the
Nifty until 2009, but the correlation has been rapidly declining since then. This indicates to us that
the right way to generate returns from the space is through stock selection rather than hoping to
benefit from narrow market momentum.

As one can see, the best performing stocks demonstrated a stronger change in RoEs vs the
worst performing ones in both pre-GFC and post-GFC periods and consequently outperformed by
c.70%.
However, even if someone did a poor job at picking stocks and picked the worst 25 stocks in the
mid-cap universe at the beginning of 2003, he would have generated 18% CAGR in next the five
years and RoEs still expanded by 250bps in the bottom 25 companies in the period. In contrast,
the same poor selection would have lost 30% p.a. from 2008 onwards with 25 worst performing
companies losing c.2,500bps in RoE in the period.
It should also be noted that the dispersion in RoEs has increased significantly in the post-GFC
period with the top 25 companies delivering c.2,800bps higher improvement in RoEs vs the
bottom 25 companies in the 2008-12 period, whereas the comparable number was almost half at
c.1,450bps in the 2003-07 period.
We believe that if we apply certain filters, it is possible to identify companies that can
generate superior returns. We have detailed our approach for identifying such filters in a
subsequent section Our approach to SMID space.

We also believe that significant macro trends (for instance, prolonged slowdown in GDP owing to

sector bias in ones portfolio. But then again, sector bias has to be coupled with stock selection in
order to maximize returns.

And the answer is To answer the question What drives the performance of SMID stocks? we
have tried to assess the merits of investing based on various financial parameters in this section.
Based on our analysis detailed subsequently, we conclude that investing in companies
that are most efficient allocators of capital (measured by RoE) and
whose market prices discount the highest cost of equity (crudely measured by inverse of
PB/RoE)
has proven to be the most rewarding strategy in the past. In addition, choosing companies based
on EPS growth and RoE momentum has also delivered meaningful absolute returns.
It should be noted that the 5 year period we have analyzed to arrive at the most relevant
parameters is one which has seen some extreme swings.

How did we get there? We have analyzed historical performance of SMID stocks and assessed
the criticality of various factors in driving stock returns. Given the need for a dynamic universe,
we have used constituents of the BSE mid-cap index at the beginning of each year as a proxy for
the SMID universe.
We have split
companies on the
basis of their
investment
attractiveness into 4
quartiles and
measured their
performance over five
years
We have used the following methodology for the purpose of our analysis:
For each of the years from 2008 to 2012, we split the SMID universe (excluding financial
services and real estate) into four quartiles, with quartile 1 being the most attractive and
quartile 4 being the least attractive based on a certain investment criteria. For example, while
assessing the merits of investing based on PER, we slot 25% of companies with the lowest
PERs in quartile 1 and 25% of companies with the highest PERs in quartile 4 with the balance
50% companies evenly split between quartiles 2 and 3.
Thereafter, we assess the average 12-month stock market performance of companies in each
Equity Research

five-year CAGR basis. We assume that the portfolio is rebalanced at the end of every year to
reflect the changes in composition of various quartiles.
The difference between the top and bottom quartiles helps us narrow down on the predictive
capability of each of the parameters, i.e., the higher the difference, the more important the
parameter is in terms of generating 1-year stock returns.
We have assessed the performance vs investment parameters under three broad categories:
a) Value investing parameters This includes P/B ratio (measured by price to current year book
value), PB/ 3-yr average RoE, PER (measured by price to current year EPS), Price/current
year cash flow from operations (P/CFO)
b) Growth investing parameters This includes one-year sales growth and one-year EPS growth
c) Return/cash flow parameters This includes 3-year average RoE (average of RoE for
previous year, current year and next year), RoE momentum (change in RoE over 2 years),
cash conversion rate (measured by CFO/EPS for the current year) and leverage (measured
by net debt/EBITDA for last reported year)
We do understand that the above analysis would have some obvious shortcomings, primarily
owing to potential data inconsistencies. We have tried to minimize data inconsistency issues by
using current year numbers in most cases given consensus estimates are thin beyond the top 5060 names. We also expect that owing to large sample size (between 150-250 companies in each
of the years) the data inconsistencies would largely be ironed out in the final outcome.
The five-year CAGR for companies in each of the four quartiles based on various parameters is
given in the figure below.

We note that RoE has been by far the most well rewarded investment criteria in the past with top
quartile companies outperforming bottom quartile companies by an average of 41% over the five
years from 2008 to 2012. We also are impressed by the fact that companies with RoEs falling in
the top quartile have outperformed companies with RoEs in the second quartile by at least 11%
every year and have generated a positive return of 18% p.a. over 2008-12 vs. BSE mid-cap index
returning -6% in this period.
Equity Research

Similarly, companies with the lowest PB/RoE ratio have generated an excess return of 36% p.a.
over companies with the highest PB/RoE ratios. Low PB/RoE companies have also generated a
return of 13% p.a. over 2008-12, which again is impressive in our opinion.
The only other selection criteria based on which top quartile companies have generated
meaningful absolute returns are RoE momentum (8%) and EPS growth (9%).

Based on our assessment, PB/RoE is the most significant value based differentiator for SMID
stocks. Our assessment of each of the four parameters analysed by us is given below.
P/B ratio:
Based on the figure below, it seems that P/B per se has not been a significant determinant of
performance of SMID stocks in India. We have used price to current year book value for the
purpose of this analysis. While in 2009 the strategy seemed to work with top quartile companies
outperforming the lowest quartile ones by 64%, portfolio selection based on cheapest companies
on P/B has not proved to be very rewarding for investors in other years. In fact, on an average,
the cheapest 25% companies on P/B basis have underperformed the most expensive 25%
companies on P/B basis by 7% in the five years from 2008-12.

Selecting companies
based on PB/RoE has
proven to be the most
credible value based
differentiator of stocks.
PB/RoE Ratio:
One obvious flaw with P/B based segregation of the SMID universe is that it does not take into
account the differences in RoEs generated by various companies. In order to account for
differential RoEs, we measure the performance of companies based on PB/RoE methodology.
We have used three-year (previous year, current year and next year) average RoEs to segregate
the companies to discount any aberrations arising due to cyclical swings.
Cheapest cos. by
PB/RoE have
produced 13% p.a.
returns since 2008 vs.
-6% for mid-cap index.
As shown in the figure below, PB/RoE has proved to be a fairly significant differentiator of stock
performance with top quartile companies (25% companies with lowest PB/RoE ratios)
outperforming the bottom quartile companies (25% companies with highest PB/RoE ratios) in
every single year since 2008 and by 36% p.a. over the five-year period. Furthermore, investing in
the cheapest 25% companies on PB/RoE basis would have generated a CAGR of 13% p.a. as
compared to -6% CAGR generated by the BSE midcap index in this period.

PE Ratio:
While assessing the performance of companies based on PERs, we notice that in the five years
from 2008-12, while top quartile companies have outperformed the bottom quartile companies by
20% p.a., the absolute performance of a portfolio investing in the cheapest 25% would have been
a mere 2% CAGR in the five year period. Also, looking at the performance of companies in the

2 and 3 quartiles, it seems that PER alone has not been a strong differentiator of stocks. We
have used price to current year earnings for the purpose of this analysis.

Generally, quality SMID stocks offer stronger revenue growth potential than their larger peers
owing to their ability to grow market share besides benefitting from industry growth rates. This,
coupled with operational and financial leverage, could translate into even stronger earnings
growth rates, which can form the foundation of a growth-based investment strategy.
Our analysis of the Indian SMID space shows that growth has usually been rewarded by the
markets with companies posting higher growth rates outperforming the slowest growing
companies by over 20% on an average over the past five years. However, mere top line growth
would not be sufficient for meaningful absolute performance and it is much more important to
focus on bottom line growth to achieve absolute performance.

Sales growth
Based on the figure below, we notice that while sales growth has been a differentiator of
performance, with the fastest growing 25% companies outperforming the slowest 25% companies
by 23% p.a. over the past five years, absolute performance of the top quartile companies has
only been limited to 1% p.a. Besides, assessment of companies in the second and third quartiles
presents a somewhat mixed picture as to the reliability of sales growth. We have used current
year sales growth for the purpose of this analysis.

While assessing the merit of return/cash flow-based parameters to investing in SMID stocks, we
assess the performance of companies segregated by their RoEs, momentum of RoEs (change in
RoEs over a two-year period), cash conversion rate (CFO/EPS) and leverage (net debt to
EBITDA). As per our analysis, companies with strong, sustainable RoEs are very well rewarded
by the market on a consistent basis.
RoE
Based on the figure below, high RoE generating companies have outperformed their peers by
41% p.a. over the past five years.
Higher RoEs demonstrate the ability of management teams to optimize capital allocation in their
business and it is no surprise that investors would reward best allocators of capital the most. We
are, however, impressed by the consistency and scale of outperformance of high RoE
companies. Companies with top 25% RoEs have outperformed the companies in every other
quartile every single year since 2008 by at least 11%. Furthermore, investing in companies with
the best RoE profile would have generated a cumulative return of 18% pa over the five-year
periods from 2008 to 2012. This is the highest return generated by top quartile companies based
on various investing parameters. We have used three-year average RoEs over the previous year,
current year and next year for the purpose of this analysis.

While RoE
momentum is
rewarded, we believe
it should be looked at
in conjunction with
RoEs
25 June 2013
RoE momentum
Based on the figure below, RoE momentum (change in RoE over two years) has been a
differentiator of stocks with 25% of companies with the fastest rate of change in RoEs
outperforming companies with the slowest rate of change in RoEs by 19% p.a. Top quartile
companies have delivered an absolute performance of 8% p.a. between 2008 and 2012. We
believe that RoE momentum should be used in conjunction with RoE to differentiate stocks.

Research.
Weve chosen the
best performing
parameters from each
of value, growth and
financial parameters
and assigned weights
to each to arrive at a
multi-factor ranking
methodology
Based on the observations above, the SMID space has behaved in line with the merit order
based on fundamental parameters for most of the past five years despite the perception of high
volatility and irrational swings attached to this space. This lends credence to the approach of
splitting SMID stocks as per fundamental criteria while determining their investment
attractiveness.
We have tried to slice mid cap companies in India based on the following three criteria:
Return based criteria Given high RoEs have generated the maximum differential (38% p.a.)
vs other fundamental criteria like leverage and cash conversion rates, we rank the SMID
universe based on RoEs. While we have not screened companies based on RoE momentum
given RoE momentum alone may not be a good indicator of fundamentals, we have given
consideration to this criteria when looking at the multifactor screen discussed below.
Value criteria We also slice the SMID universe based on PB/RoE ratio. Historically,
attractive PB/RoEs have been well-rewarded by the market with the top companies
outperforming weaker ones by 36% p.a. in the past five years.
Growth criteria We use EPS growth as a filter to rank companies on growth criteria.
Historically, companies with the highest EPS growth have outperformed their slower growing
peers by 30% p.a. on an average.
Given the multiple criteria involved, we used a multifactor approach to arrive at the merit order of
stocks that warrant closer attention. We have assigned weights to each of the screening criteria
above, i.e. RoE, RoE momentum, EPS growth and PB/ RoE.
Given the significantly superior returns demonstrated by companies with stronger RoEs (38%)
and lower PB/RoE ratio (36%) in the past, we assign maximum weight (35%) to investment
attractiveness based on each of these two criteria.
We also assign 25% weight to EPS growth and 5% weight to RoE momentum. Based on the
weights, we arrive at a merit order for Indian stocks which we have detailed on subsequent page.

We also provide screens of companies based on 3 of the criteria above (RoEs, PB/ RoE, EPS
growth) in the appendices. It should be noted that while running these screens, we have relied on
fundamental data as provided by Bloomberg. We have limited our universe to companies that
trade more than USD 1mn/day and have market capitalization of USD 300mn to USD 3bn as on
20 June 2013. We have excluded financials and real-estate stocks from this screen. We have
also excluded pharmaceutical names at this stage given pharmaceutical sector returns and
profitability may vary significantly owing to patent/ exclusivity expiries and out licensing
arrangements. The SMID universe shrinks from 198 to 62 because of adding liquidity filter and
elimination of names where no credible financials are available.
Output from screens
has to be viewed in
conjunction with
fundamental analysis
to arrive at investment
decisions
Equity Research
We would like to stress that these screens merely provide a framework for shortlisting potentially
interesting stocks while ultimate selection of stocks would be a function of multiple fundamental
factors including quality of financials, strength of management, corporate governance, among
other things. We therefore, have excluded Jaiprakash Power Ventures (rated Underperform by
Standard Chartered research) from the final shortlist presented in this report.
