Deccan Chronicle Holdings -CU.P65 Deccan Chronicle Holdings Company Update BUY Charged up for second innings Price Rs114 Significant correction in newsprint prices coupled with higher profitability in the IPL venture are expected to drive a 42.8% CAGR in Earnings for Deccan Chronicle Holdings (DCHL) over Target Price Rs142 FY2009-11E. Moreover, as Balance Sheet concerns fade (Debt and Receivable days both Investment Period 12 months stand reduced), focus shifts to core properties (Print and IPL) and ongoing buy-back instills confidence, we believe that the DCHL stock warrants a re-rating. Hence, we upgrade DCHL Stock Info to a Buy, valuing the stock at 12x FY2011E EPS (40% discount to its peers like Jagran Sector Media and HT Media due to scalability issues), with a 12-month Target Price of Rs142. Market Cap (Rs cr) 2,792 Print Business - Strengthening its foothold in South: Following launch of its Bangalore edition, DCHL registered total daily Circulation of 1.35mn during Jan - June (JJ) 2009 according Beta 0.9 to the Audit Bureau of Circulation (ABC, latest Circulation figures), an increase of 1.2% over 52 Week High / Low 124/26 Jan - Dec (JD) 2008 and 25.9% over JJ 2008. We believe that enhanced presence places Avg Daily Volume 520,265 DCHL in a significantly better position in terms of offering bundled advertising to any media planner looking for a pan-South India platform. Face Value (Rs) 2 IPL holds promise: Deccan Chargers Sporting Ventures (DCSVL) houses the Hyderabad BSE Sensex 16,886 IPL team, Deccan Chargers (100% stake), which won the second season of IPL. In terms of financials, we expect DCSVL to record a sharp jump in Revenue in FY2010E to Rs100.6cr Nifty 5,020 (Rs56.6cr) driven by revised media telecast rights boosting Net Profit to Rs22cr (Rs1.6cr). We BSE Code 532608 remain optimistic on IPL's moneymaking prospects and any news flow on the stake sale front will trigger a re-rating in the DCHL stock. NSE Code DCHL Newsprint prices collapse, significant Margin expansion ahead: Over the past six Reuters Code DCHL.BO months, newsprint prices have collapsed. The 30-lbs benchmark US East coast, newsprint Bloomberg Code DECH@IN prices fell by almost 38% to US $465 from its peak in February 2009. For FY2010E, we expect DCHL to save almost Rs70cr in newsprint costs, despite higher newsprint consumption due to Shareholding Pattern (%) the Bangalore edition, as we have modeled a 31% drop in imported newsprint prices (landed Promoters 63.0 cost) to US $607. Further, we expect savings in newsprint cost to contribute almost 894bp to Margin expansion over FY2009-11E.

    HTTP://WWW.UPSCPORTAL.COM POLITICAL NEWS ELECTION COMMISSION AT 60 After overseeing 15 general elections to the Lok Sabha, the Election Commission of India, in its diamond jubilee year, can with justifiable pride claim to have nursed and st rengthened the electoral processes of a nascent democracy. The successes have not been consiste nt or uniform, but over the last six decades the ECI managed to make the worlds largest democratic p rocess freer and fairer. One of the instruments of this success is surely the Model Code of C onduct. D esigned to offer a level playing field to all political parties, it has been used to neu tralise many of the inherent advantages of a ruling party in an election. Although the model code wa s originally based on political consensus and does not still enjoy statutory sanction, it served as a handy tool for placing curbs on the abuse of the official machinery for campaigning. While ther e have been complaints of excess in the sometimes mindless application of the model code, th e benefits have generally outweighed the costs. After the Election Commission was made a three-member body, its functioning beca me more institutionalised and more transparent with little room for the caprices of an o verbearing personality. The diamond jubilee is also an occasion for the ECI to look at the challenges ah ead, especially those relating to criminalisation of politics and use of money power in elections. Neither of these issues is new. What is clear is that the efforts of the Commission to t ackle them have generally lacked conviction and have not yielded any significant results.

  • The Indian Premier League1
    CASE: SPM-38 DATE: 3/24/09 INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE: BOLLYWOOD AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP TRANSFORM A SPORT India fulfilled a dream in an unbelievable manner and made the inaugural event a reality. The people of India and the rest of the world embraced this tournament with their hearts and I feel really proud that we have taken the game of cricket … to a new level. It was a difficult road for all of us involved in this venture to walk, there were skeptics … the success is there for all to see. —Lalik Modi, Commissioner and Tournament Director of the Indian Premier League1 On June 1, 2008, the Rajasthan Royals scored a dramatic last-minute victory over the Chennai Super Kings in the final match of the first season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The game was played before a sold-out stadium of 55,000 fans in Mumbai, India. It took place in a festival atmosphere, preceded by a spectacular show including Bollywood entertainers and fireworks. The IPL had been announced by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) just nine months earlier. The league was made up of eight city-based teams throughout India, whose owners were not determined until January 24, 2008, and whose players were not selected until February. Yet, the league raised nearly $2 billion from the sale of media rights, sponsorships, and franchise fees. It attracted star players from around the world. The first season, running from April 18 until June 1, combined entertainment and sport played before packed stadiums, dominated television ratings in India, and riveted the country’s attention.
