Satyam Computers-Take Profits 
L&T's AM Naik was ridiculed for having taken a near 14 per cent stake in Satyam Computer, just as the scale and size of rip-off at the company was made known to the World by the founder Mr. Raju. The stock sank from Rs 400 in September 2008 to Rs 7 in January 2009. Post-takeover by Tech Mahindra and disclosure of its finances to the Stock Exchanges a new interest is now visible in the counter.

All troubles at the counter have been forgotten. The open offer to purchase 19 crore shares by Tech Mahindra will in all likeli-hood will fail, and yet huge volumes to the tune of 15 mn per day per exchange accompanied by a price rise of near 30 per cent in three days shows larger forces are at work, something that has no link to reality but is reminiscent of operators driving the stock just like they did way back in the 1998-2000 period.

With scary financial margins, it is to be questioned why is Mr. Naik not selling the Satyam stock? And yet, there are no answers for here is a company which was losing close to Rs 500 crore on one investment, and having recouped the same is not getting out knowing that with Mahindra's on board they will never have a working relationship with Satyam.

Like flies attracted to a burning light speculators are moving towards the Satyam with Buyer freeze of 15 mn on each exchange. One day reality will dawn, investors will do well to take the 30 per cent in short term profits and let the speculators carry the stock further on momentum.

Modern Dairies 
 
Have a look at Modern Dairies-the largest milk processing unit set up in Karnal, Haryana with an investment of over Rs 400 crore-the most modern milk plant in Asia.

The promoters subscribed and converted all their warrants at Rs 80 per share.

IFC Washington has taken this unit as a show piece project for Asia, with an Equity contribution of 20 per cent (46,50,000 shares at Rs 60 per share), and additional credit lines of $ 10-20 mn for working capital.

PSU banks with terms loans of Rs 300 crore have recently approved the CDR package.

The company sells for Rs 58 crore. (Equity 2.3 crore shares at Rs 25).

The plant handles 350,000 litres of fresh milk per day, collecting the same from nearly 200 villages around Karnal.

The unit is a big supplier of Milk solids to Mcdonalds, Pizza Hut, Glaxo and Smithkline Beecham for Horlicks. During FY10 Modern Dairies intends to reduce component of milk sales and increase sales of processed milk, condensed milk, mozarella and many other forms of processed cheese. This will increase the shelf life of products sold, while fresh milk will be moved from poly packs to tetra pack thereby catering to the marketing needs of Nestle.

Recent agreements have been signed with Reliance Fresh to provide fresh milk under the Reliance Fresh Trademark to NCR residents.

Compare valuations with Milkfood, Heritage Foods and Kwality Dairy and also look up www.milkplus.com to know the company better.

Jetking Infotrain-Basic Tech Education

Long before the Aptechs and NIITs hit the headlines, Jetking has been churning out trained professionals who find employment in the repair and maintenance industry. The technician who shows up at your door to fix the television, computer and other electronic equipment would most probably have got himself trained at one of the many Jetking institutes that dot the landscape across India's cities and towns.

This unpretentious institute makes no bones about the fact that its target comprises of the low and low-middle class youth with a school or under-graduate education out to find a job at the earliest.

Jetking's courses last for a year to 15 months and provide training in jobs like network management and hardware maintenance.

Apart from full-time day courses, Jetking also provides for part-time night courses that provide an opportunity for working students to upgrade their skills. Part of the course package includes training in basic conversational English and familiarization with basic etiquette.

Though originally confined to Mumbai, Jetking has spread its wings across the country and operates out of nearly 120 training centres in major cities and towns. Future plans include spreading out abroad by setting up operations in China and Nigeria.

This small-cap company with negligible debt has shown decent growth over the past several years. Its revenues have grown from Rs 11.49 crore in FY 2005 to Rs 39.88 crore in FY 2008. The company's operating profit margins have also increased sharply as it increased emphasis on franchisee-run operations. Its profit after tax has risen from Rs 2.27 crores in FY 2005 to Rs 9.85 crores in FY 2008. OPM has risen from 8.27 per cent in FY 2005 to 46.68 per cent in FY 2008. The company also enjoys a cash profit margin exceeding 35 per cent since it charges a commission on fees earned by the franchisee from every student.

Its profits have grown 63 per cent on a CAGR basis from FY05 to FY08. Earnings per share have grown from Rs 11.58 in FY05 to Rs 25.08 in FY08. The company has been regularly rewarding its shareholders with bonuses. It issued 1:1 bonus shares in 2004 and 2007 respectively and 1.2 shares in 2008.

The company also enjoys very favourable ratios. Its return on assets is 67 per cent while return on capital employed is a whopping 101 per cent. Its return on equity is 82 per cent.

Investment Rationale

Jetking Infotrain has opted to aggressively grow its business. In FY 2009 alone the company added 20 franchisees in different parts of the country. The company has plans to add 60 more franchisees in the coming years and expand its operations in the Northern and Eastern India in the near future.

At present, the company is consolidating operations in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. As part of efforts to grab a higher mindshare in the market, Jetking Infotrain began advertising in

the recently-concluded IPL cricket series.

The prospects for the company's business appear good in the coming years despite the ongoing recession. Unlike the bigger names in the industry that have branched into software training, Jetking has decided to stay focused on the hardware part of the business where it has competition only from the unorganized sector.

Over the years Jetking has partnered with the big names in the IT field to offer courses tailor-made for the industry. It tied up with Novell in 1997 as a Novell Education Academic Partner and with Microsoft in 2003 as a Microsoft Certified Partner. It followed up with tie-ups with industry leaders like Red Hat to offer courses in Linux and open-source software and WatchGuard Technologies that offers training threat management of hardware and installed software.

(Some forward looking statements on projections, estimates, expectations & outlook are included to enable a better comprehension of the Company prospects. Actual results may, however, differ materially from those stated on account of factors such as changes in government regulations, tax regimes, economic developments within India and the countries within which the Company conducts its business, exchange rate and interest rate movements, impact of competing products and their pricing, product demand and supply constraints.)

Hindustan Dorr-Oliver-Moving Into A New Phase Of Growth

BSE 509627; CMP Rs 101.85
 
 
With an order book of Rs 1300 crore, Hindustan Dorr-Oliver, the engineering subsidiary of IVRCL Infra, has provided a Revenue and Earnings visibility for atleast 18-20 months into the future. This raises hopes for a continued outperformance of HDO both on the operational front, as also on the Equities markets even as analysts run forth to revise their spreadsheets and raise earnings forecasts for FY10 and FY11.

In any case HDO reported a stellar performance for FY09, with Revenues rising to Rs 522 crore, a growth of 68 per cent and after tax profits of Rs 30 crore, an increase of 33 per cent over FY08. Though the growth in the bottomline seems lower than that of the Revenues, this comes after considering a write-off of Rs 6 crore advised by the company auditors for irrecoverable debts. Hence, both EBITDA and Net margins were strong for FY09.

The corporate has raised dividend pay-out to Rs 1 per share of FV Rs 2, as against Rs 0.60 per share of FV Rs 2, declared in FY08.

After the take-over of HDO by IVRCL (which now controls 55 per cent of the company Equity), operations of the entity were diversified to include execution of large engineering projects on EPC and LSTK basis which resulted in a 7 times increase in HDO's Revenues to Rs 522 crore in FY09 from Rs 80 crore in FY06.

HDO is currently executing one of the most prestigious projects of post independence India, the mineral beneficiation plant worth Rs 600 crore for the Uranium Corporation of India. This is in addition to a number of water recycling plants for HPCL/BPCL in many parts of the country, as also the Vedanta upcoming units in Orissa and Power units of Reliance Infrastructure (formerly Reliance Energy).

HDO is further looking into new opportunities in Oil, Gas, Power and Material Handling systems to sustain growth. It is also conceivable that at some date in the future HDO may look forward to an acquisition that brings in required and additional synergies in related fields.

Floundering at 15000

Sensex (15103.1)

After the fantastic journey from 8000 to 15000 in three months, Sensex appeared a little lost last week. News flow drying to a trickle and ambling ways of other equity markets could have contributed to this indecisive state. Further, conflicting statements emanating from the Government on disinvestment and on the thrust of the Union Budget made market participants nervous. The Sensex finally slipped past the 15000 mark on Friday afternoon to end with a 3.2 per cent weekly gain.

Second, third and bottom-rung stocks continued to attract immense investor interest and market breadth was positive, even on days when the Sensex closed with losses. Volumes, especially in the cash segment, were very strong, daily turnover last week was almost 50 per cent above the average daily turnover recorded in April. However, inflow of overseas funds was tepid last week

The sideways move recorded by the Sensex over the last two weeks has made the momentum drop significantly. The 10-day Rate of Change (ROC) oscillator fell sharply last week from overbought levels. But the fact that the 10-month ROC has moved in to the positive territory is an encouraging signal. If this indicator sustains above the zero line, it would signal a change in the long-term outlook for Sensex.

There is no sign of reversal in the medium-term up-trend from the March lows yet. We have repeatedly warned against fighting this trend and initiating pre-emptive short positions over the last two months. The market is known for its vagaries that can outwit the best brains. Docile trend-following can be the best way to play such a strong trending market.

Targets of the third leg of the up-move from 8047 are 14281 and 16332. Since 61.8 per cent retracement of the down-move from January 2008 peak occurs at 16180, next medium target on a strong close beyond 15300 can be between 16000 and 16300. But it needs to be borne in mind that 15284 (55 per cent retracement) is also a likely peak for the move from March low.

As far as the short-term is concerned, we had outlined two trajectories in our last column. Despite a brief move past 15200, Sensex ended the session below this level. If the decline continues next week, the index can decline to 14594 or 14185. Short-term purchases should be avoided on a close below the first target. The medium-term view will, however, be roiled only on a close below 13470. Resistances for the week ahead would be at 15284, 15698 and 15836.

Nifty (4586.9)

However, minor counts of the move from 2555 indicate that the fifth of C-wave is currently in motion that can terminate at 4428, 4597 or 4791. The second target was achieved last week and traders should tread cautiously as far as long positions are concerned unless there is a clear break above 4650 early next week. We are looking at the possible termination of the move from March lows here.

Supports for the week would be at 4428 and 4300. Fresh long positions ought to be avoided below the first support. Medium-term investors however need not worry until the index closes below 4150. Resistances for the week would be at 4646 and 4758.

Global Cues

It was a relatively sedate week in global equity markets. Most indices closed with 1 to 3 per cent gains. Some Asian indices such as those belonging to Thailand and the Philippines out-performed with over 5 per cent gains. CBOE volatility index traded around the 30 mark and closed with a small up-tick indicating that while investor confidence remains high, it has not received a fresh boost over the past week. The base built by this index during the bull-market days between 2004 and 2006 is between 10 and 20.

The Dow moved higher to an intra week peak of 8839 last week and closed slightly above its 200-day moving average. But the index needs to sustain above this line for a couple of weeks more to signal a long-term trend reversal. Medium-term target of this leg of the up-move in Dow is 8796 and 9410.

If we apply the waterfall effect in Elliott wave analysis, the Dow could reverse anytime soon from the resistance zone around 8800. Heavy negative divergence in both daily and weekly momentum too signal the uptrend from March trough could be drawing to a close. These divergences are apparent in the S&P 500 too and further this index has also reached its key medium-term target of 943 that was the peak formed on January 9.

 

WEEKLY LEVELS ON STOCKS BASED ON PIVOTS

Tata Steel (Rs 463.9)
 

Tata Steel led the market forward last week with a 14 per cent gain. The stock moved slightly above our second medium-term target of Rs 487 to peak at Rs 496. There could be a short-term correction to Rs 448 or Rs 416 in the near term. Short-term traders can buy on such declines with a stop at Rs 410. Resistances for the week would be at Rs 481 or Rs 496.

The stock is in a strong medium term up-trend and this move can continue to take Tata Steel towards the medium-term target of Rs 552. The positive medium-term view will be marred only on a close below Rs 330.

Reliance (Rs 2211.8)

RIL moved in line with our expectation, reversing below the resistance indicated last week thus highlighting the weak outlook for the short-term. The stock can decline to Rs 2094 or Rs 2066 in the near-term and a close above Rs 2343 is needed to reverse this view. The ceiling of the gap formed on May 18 at Rs 2102 will be the key short-term support for the stock.

We continue to advise caution from a medium-term perspective unless there is a weekly close above Rs 2384. A gradual decline to Rs 1900 or Rs 1700 can not be ruled out in the medium term.

Maruti Suzuki (Rs 1082.7)

Maruti recorded yet another spurt last week that made it rally above our medium-term target of Rs 1100 to peak at Rs 1113. The stock is halting at the upper boundary of the trend-channel that is enclosing the stock's movement since January 2009. Reversal from here can drag the stock lower to Rs 960. But the medium-term view will stay positive as long as this level holds. If it holds above Rs 960, Maruti can have another shy at its all-time high over the medium term.

State Bank of India (Rs 1817.9)

SBI reversed lower from an intra week peak at Rs 1935 to close with 2.7 per cent weekly loss. The stock is currently pausing at the key intermediate-term resistance at Rs 1827. A reversal from here can drag the stock lower to Rs 1537 or Rs 1300 over the medium term. Fresh purchases are therefore recommended only on a strong close above Rs 1827. Subsequent target is Rs 1970.

The stock can decline to Rs 1770 or Rs 1670 in the short-term. Near-term trend will however turn overtly negative only on a close below Rs 1750. Resistances for the week are Rs 1920 and Rs 1935.

Infosys (Rs 1690.5)

Infosys moved in line with our expectation and rallied to the intra-week peak of Rs 1706. But the stock is pausing below this resistance. The near-term view will be ambivalent as long as the stock remains at these levels for a move above Rs 1706 can take it higher to Rs 1830 while failure to surpass this level will cause a decline to Rs 1500 again.

Our medium-term view for Infosys stays negative as long as it trades below Rs 1750. Failure to move above this level over the next two weeks can cause a decline to Rs 1486 or Rs 1400 over the medium term.

ONGC (Rs 1180.6)

ONGC is currently in a short-term correction that is making the stock move in the range between Rs 1140 and Rs 1220. Short-term investors can buy on declines with a stop at Rs 1085. The stock can move higher to Rs 1257 or Rs 1340 in the near term.

Interpreting RSI

Since most of us now generate RSI with our computer software, the rigour of manually calculating the RSI can be dispensed with. It would suffice to understand that RSI judges the strength in the prevailing trend by tracking the gains or losses made over a pre-defined period.

The RSI oscillates between the values of 0 and 100. The zone between 0 and 30 is considered as the 'oversold' zone. When RSI declines to this zone, it means that the selling might have been overdone and an upward reversal could be around the corner.

Spotting divergence

 

Similarly, the zone above 70 and below 100 is considered as 'overbought'. RSI reaching this zone implies that the stock may be getting overvalued and a pullback or correction is likely soon. The RSI tends to peak or bottom before the underlying price chart thus giving advance indication of an impending trend reversal.

When the stock price is moving up forming higher peaks but the RSI oscillator is moving lower forming lower peaks, a negative divergence occurs. Likewise, when the stock price is trending sideways or lower, shaping lower troughs while the RSI oscillator is forming higher troughs, a positive divergence is formed.

Positive or bullish divergence is seen in the Bharat Forge chart. The stock made lower troughs during October-December 2008, while the RSI was forming higher troughs in the same period. The RSI bottomed first in October 2008 while the stock price was trending south.

 

In Dr. Reddy's Lab's stock, one can notice that during December 2008, the the relative strength index formed higher peak in line with the price action only up to Rs 720. After the Rs 720 peak, the RSI headed southward while the stock price was still moving higher creating divergence between the two. This negative divergence acted as a trigger for the stock's subsequent trend reversal.

Backspreads: Attractive for discerning traders

Backspreads reduce risks if the underlying trades in a range.

Traders are increasingly using options to take a view on the underlying security or market. The problem, however, is that options expire worthless if the underlying does not move enough within the contract expiry.

Several traders, hence, wanted to know if they could set up positions that pay off no matter whether the underlying goes up or down.

This article discusses one such trade set up – backspreads. It shows how to construct the position and why the set up generates positive payoffs so long as the underlying moves in either direction.

It also explains the risks associated with the position.

Initiating trade set up

Suppose a trader holds a view that Reliance Industries will move to Rs 2,700 if it breaks above Rs 2,400. The alternative view is that the stock could decline to Rs 2,100. This view could be typical for a straddle/strangle set up. The objective, however, is to reduce risk if the underlying trades in a range.

Besides, the trader has an upside bias (or downside bias), unlike in a straddle/strangle where the view is neutral. She can, hence, set up a call/put backspread. We assume that the trader shorts one contract of June 2250 calls and buys two contracts of June 2460 calls.

Understanding the set up

Call backspread is a two-leg transaction where the trader shorts a lower strike call and buys higher strike call. Two features make this position somewhat unique. One, the position is set up as a delta-neutral spread.

That is, the delta of the short options equals the delta of the long options. And two, because of delta-neutrality, the trader purchases more contracts of higher strike calls than she shorts the lower strike calls.

Delta is the change in the option value for a one-point change in the underlying.

If a call option has 0.50 delta (also referred to as 50 deltas), it means that the option value will increase (decrease) by 0.50 for a one-point increase (decrease) in the underlying.

The backspread is set up delta-neutral to minimize the risk for small movements in the underlying.

The trader can set up the spread for a net credit. This is because she shorts an ATM (at-the-money) option and buys OTM (out-of-the-money) option.

The June 2250/2450 backspread can be set up for a net credit of 30 points based on Thursday prices, not including brokerage commissions.

If the stock moves to Rs 2,700 by, say, June 23, the 2250 strike will be worth 450 points (rounded off) with minimal time-value. The June 2460 strike will then be worth 240 points for a total of 480 points.

The trader, hence, receives 30 points on closing the position. This coupled with another 30 points on initiation gives the trader a total gain of 60 points.

Payoffs

But what if the stock instead moves to, say, Rs 2,100? Both the June 2250 and June 2460 calls will expire worthless and the trader nets 30 points- the premium collected on initiating the position.

Suppose the stock trades at Rs 2,350 at expiry.

The June 2250 will carry an intrinsic value of 100 points (2350 minus 2250) whereas the June 2460 will expire worthless.

The net loss will then be 100 points less 30 points collected on initiation.

Conclusion

Backspread differs from straddle/strangle in that it is delta-neutral and is typically set up as a net-credit spread. The flip side is that the position is subject to high risk when the stock trades between the break-even point and the long-strike option.

In the above example, the position will suffer large losses if the stock trades above Rs 2,280 (Rs 2,250 plus 30 points premium) but below Rs 2,460 at expiry. Besides, the position is sensitive to change in volatility (vega).

It would be optimal to set up backspreads when the implied volatility is low. The trade set up is suitable for discerning option traders considering the associated risks.

The Dow moved higher to an intra week peak of 8839 last week and closed slightly above its 200-day moving average. But the index needs to sustain above this line for a couple of weeks more to signal a long-term trend reversal. Medium-term target of this leg of the up-move in Dow is 8796 and 9410.

If we apply the waterfall effect in Elliott wave analysis, the Dow could reverse anytime soon from the resistance zone around 8800. Heavy negative divergence in both daily and weekly momentum too signal the uptrend from March trough could be drawing to a close. These divergences are apparent in the S&P 500 too and further this index has also reached its key medium-term target of 943 that was the peak formed on January 9.

 

WEEKLY LEVELS ON STOCKS BASED ON PIVOTS

Tata Steel (Rs 463.9)
 

Tata Steel led the market forward last week with a 14 per cent gain. The stock moved slightly above our second medium-term target of Rs 487 to peak at Rs 496. There could be a short-term correction to Rs 448 or Rs 416 in the near term. Short-term traders can buy on such declines with a stop at Rs 410. Resistances for the week would be at Rs 481 or Rs 496.

The stock is in a strong medium term up-trend and this move can continue to take Tata Steel towards the medium-term target of Rs 552. The positive medium-term view will be marred only on a close below Rs 330.

Reliance (Rs 2211.8)

RIL moved in line with our expectation, reversing below the resistance indicated last week thus highlighting the weak outlook for the short-term. The stock can decline to Rs 2094 or Rs 2066 in the near-term and a close above Rs 2343 is needed to reverse this view. The ceiling of the gap formed on May 18 at Rs 2102 will be the key short-term support for the stock.

We continue to advise caution from a medium-term perspective unless there is a weekly close above Rs 2384. A gradual decline to Rs 1900 or Rs 1700 can not be ruled out in the medium term.

Maruti Suzuki (Rs 1082.7)

Maruti recorded yet another spurt last week that made it rally above our medium-term target of Rs 1100 to peak at Rs 1113. The stock is halting at the upper boundary of the trend-channel that is enclosing the stock's movement since January 2009. Reversal from here can drag the stock lower to Rs 960. But the medium-term view will stay positive as long as this level holds. If it holds above Rs 960, Maruti can have another shy at its all-time high over the medium term.

State Bank of India (Rs 1817.9)

SBI reversed lower from an intra week peak at Rs 1935 to close with 2.7 per cent weekly loss. The stock is currently pausing at the key intermediate-term resistance at Rs 1827. A reversal from here can drag the stock lower to Rs 1537 or Rs 1300 over the medium term. Fresh purchases are therefore recommended only on a strong close above Rs 1827. Subsequent target is Rs 1970.

The stock can decline to Rs 1770 or Rs 1670 in the short-term. Near-term trend will however turn overtly negative only on a close below Rs 1750. Resistances for the week are Rs 1920 and Rs 1935.

Infosys (Rs 1690.5)

Infosys moved in line with our expectation and rallied to the intra-week peak of Rs 1706. But the stock is pausing below this resistance. The near-term view will be ambivalent as long as the stock remains at these levels for a move above Rs 1706 can take it higher to Rs 1830 while failure to surpass this level will cause a decline to Rs 1500 again.

Our medium-term view for Infosys stays negative as long as it trades below Rs 1750. Failure to move above this level over the next two weeks can cause a decline to Rs 1486 or Rs 1400 over the medium term.

ONGC (Rs 1180.6)

ONGC is currently in a short-term correction that is making the stock move in the range between Rs 1140 and Rs 1220. Short-term investors can buy on declines with a stop at Rs 1085. The stock can move higher to Rs 1257 or Rs 1340 in the near term.

Interpreting RSI

Since most of us now generate RSI with our computer software, the rigour of manually calculating the RSI can be dispensed with. It would suffice to understand that RSI judges the strength in the prevailing trend by tracking the gains or losses made over a pre-defined period.

The RSI oscillates between the values of 0 and 100. The zone between 0 and 30 is considered as the 'oversold' zone. When RSI declines to this zone, it means that the selling might have been overdone and an upward reversal could be around the corner.

Spotting divergence

 

Similarly, the zone above 70 and below 100 is considered as 'overbought'. RSI reaching this zone implies that the stock may be getting overvalued and a pullback or correction is likely soon. The RSI tends to peak or bottom before the underlying price chart thus giving advance indication of an impending trend reversal.

When the stock price is moving up forming higher peaks but the RSI oscillator is moving lower forming lower peaks, a negative divergence occurs. Likewise, when the stock price is trending sideways or lower, shaping lower troughs while the RSI oscillator is forming higher troughs, a positive divergence is formed.

Positive or bullish divergence is seen in the Bharat Forge chart. The stock made lower troughs during October-December 2008, while the RSI was forming higher troughs in the same period. The RSI bottomed first in October 2008 while the stock price was trending south.

 

In Dr. Reddy's Lab's stock, one can notice that during December 2008, the the relative strength index formed higher peak in line with the price action only up to Rs 720. After the Rs 720 peak, the RSI headed southward while the stock price was still moving higher creating divergence between the two. This negative divergence acted as a trigger for the stock's subsequent trend reversal.

Backspreads: Attractive for discerning traders

Backspreads reduce risks if the underlying trades in a range.

Traders are increasingly using options to take a view on the underlying security or market. The problem, however, is that options expire worthless if the underlying does not move enough within the contract expiry.

Several traders, hence, wanted to know if they could set up positions that pay off no matter whether the underlying goes up or down.

This article discusses one such trade set up – backspreads. It shows how to construct the position and why the set up generates positive payoffs so long as the underlying moves in either direction.

It also explains the risks associated with the position.

Initiating trade set up

Suppose a trader holds a view that Reliance Industries will move to Rs 2,700 if it breaks above Rs 2,400. The alternative view is that the stock could decline to Rs 2,100. This view could be typical for a straddle/strangle set up. The objective, however, is to reduce risk if the underlying trades in a range.

Besides, the trader has an upside bias (or downside bias), unlike in a straddle/strangle where the view is neutral. She can, hence, set up a call/put backspread. We assume that the trader shorts one contract of June 2250 calls and buys two contracts of June 2460 calls.

Understanding the set up

Call backspread is a two-leg transaction where the trader shorts a lower strike call and buys higher strike call. Two features make this position somewhat unique. One, the position is set up as a delta-neutral spread.

That is, the delta of the short options equals the delta of the long options. And two, because of delta-neutrality, the trader purchases more contracts of higher strike calls than she shorts the lower strike calls.

Delta is the change in the option value for a one-point change in the underlying.

If a call option has 0.50 delta (also referred to as 50 deltas), it means that the option value will increase (decrease) by 0.50 for a one-point increase (decrease) in the underlying.

The backspread is set up delta-neutral to minimize the risk for small movements in the underlying.

The trader can set up the spread for a net credit. This is because she shorts an ATM (at-the-money) option and buys OTM (out-of-the-money) option.

The June 2250/2450 backspread can be set up for a net credit of 30 points based on Thursday prices, not including brokerage commissions.

If the stock moves to Rs 2,700 by, say, June 23, the 2250 strike will be worth 450 points (rounded off) with minimal time-value. The June 2460 strike will then be worth 240 points for a total of 480 points.

The trader, hence, receives 30 points on closing the position. This coupled with another 30 points on initiation gives the trader a total gain of 60 points.

Payoffs

But what if the stock instead moves to, say, Rs 2,100? Both the June 2250 and June 2460 calls will expire worthless and the trader nets 30 points- the premium collected on initiating the position.

Suppose the stock trades at Rs 2,350 at expiry.

The June 2250 will carry an intrinsic value of 100 points (2350 minus 2250) whereas the June 2460 will expire worthless.

The net loss will then be 100 points less 30 points collected on initiation.

Conclusion

Backspread differs from straddle/strangle in that it is delta-neutral and is typically set up as a net-credit spread. The flip side is that the position is subject to high risk when the stock trades between the break-even point and the long-strike option.

In the above example, the position will suffer large losses if the stock trades above Rs 2,280 (Rs 2,250 plus 30 points premium) but below Rs 2,460 at expiry. Besides, the position is sensitive to change in volatility (vega).

It would be optimal to set up backspreads when the implied volatility is low. The trade set up is suitable for discerning option traders considering the associated risks.

DELIVERY

Satyam Computers-Outperformer 
Over a period of 6 months Satyam may turn out to be a multi-bagger as the management of Tech Mahindra takes a grasp of things, and makes things turn-around.

Over the 1st 3 months of the Satyam acquisition, most of the client and revenue erosion had already happened, but things have stabilized operationally. Over the next 3-4 qtrs, as more clarity emerges, PE multiple for Tech companies would have expended to ~12x while Infosys trades @16-17xFY10E earnings.

Lets not forget that the Satyam acquisition would put Tech M among the top 5 offshore vendors from India as well as reduce dependence on BT from ~60% currently to ~25%. Further it shall help rerate the stock on scale size (revenues for the combined entity at ~US$ 2 bn+) as well as a more diversified revenue profile Vs. earlier when TechM had a single vertical focus (Telecom). 

There are likely to be earnings upgrades panning into Tech Mah-Satyam combine as more clarity emerges. That coupled with a likely multiple expansion should make Tech Mahindra a good bet at current levels, as also Satyam.

(Some forward looking statements on projections, estimates, expectations & outlook are included to enable a better comprehension of the Company prospects. Actual results may, however, differ materially from those stated on account of factors such as changes in government regulations, tax regimes, economic developments within India and the countries within which the Company conducts its business, exchange rate and interest rate movements, impact of competing products and their pricing, product demand and supply constraints.)
