In unpredictable circumstances, Financial investors might be in an ideal situation looking for shelter in pockets of safe heaven stocks as opposed to scan for growth based stocks. We are today covering two state-owned companies, who in spite of their frail business viewpoint, have a solid monetary record and generate ample amount of money. They are likewise prone to announce solid profits, because of the corporate tax reductions and to enable the administration to meet its revenue targets, and along these lines are offering dividend yields that can coordinate or are better than rates currently offered by Indian banks fixed deposits.

NMDC LIMITED

The two stocks are NMDC (CMP: Rs.64, Market capitalization Rs.19473 Crore) – one of the biggest shipper iron mineral providers in India, currently owned by Government of India (72.3% stake) and Coal India (CMP: Rs.128 and Market capitalization Rs. 79067 crore).

NMDC has one of the biggest iron stores of 2.73 billion tons, is one of the low cost producer of Iron ore, accessible at a very reasonable fair valuation of 0.8x cost to order book and offers dividend yield of around 8%. NMDC has adequate amount of reserves of Rs. 4300Crore (almost 20%) of its market capitalization.

Its expense of creating iron mineral is $12.7 per ton (excluding royalty). The organization has put resources into a steel plant for forward mix at Chhattisgarh. The complete capex for a 3 MTPA plant would associate with Rs. 23140 crore, of which NMDC has acquired Rs.16740 crore till 31st Dec 19.

Total volumes for April-Dec 2019 remained at 22.90 million tons contrasted with 22.12 million tons over a similar period a year ago, notwithstanding Karnataka puuting restrictions mining at its Donimalai mine.

In the wake of expanding the costs of lump ore by Rs. 600/Ton in January and February 2020 and fines by Rs.550/Ton, NMDC marked down costs of both by Rs. 50/Ton on the rear of lower global prices. We expect some weight on costs proceeding till worldwide manufacturing capacity stabilizes.

With extra steel-production limit declared by some significant players, extra necessity of about 64 MT of iron mineral would come up, which NMDC would have the option to supply.

We have considered NMDC’s financials from Mar-07 till Dec-20 and found that just in FY16 did NMDC report an EBIDTA per Ton of Rs. 950. In any event, during the worldwide monetary emergency in FY09 and FY10, NMDC had revealed EBIDTA per Ton of more than Rs 1800.

In FY16, local steel manufacturing witnessed a negative growth and there was dumping from China. Therefore, the legislature forced minimum import parity costs (MIP) on products imported from China and the steel business resuscitated from there on.

On the off chance that we accept that iron mineral costs right in FY21 because of lower request, and NMDC report an EBIDTA of Rs 1000 for every ton, and still, at the end of the day the organization will report an all out EBIDTA of Rs 2880 Crore on a volume of 29 Mln T and mixed acknowledgment of Rs 2300 for each ton. With this degree of income, NMDC will have the option to proclaim profit of Rs 5.30 per share (like FY20) because of its zero debt balance sheet, and solid incomes.

India keeps on relying upon coal for ~70% of its power prerequisite – with coal-based power generation 54% of the nation’s introduced limit (Coal: 198GW; All India: 369GW). Notwithstanding the expanded spotlight on renewables, coal would keep on ruling India’s power creation.
