#The shares of TV Vision Ltd (Rs.17.10) is probably near its bottom and hence a bounce is expected from the oversold levels. If we look at the December, '17 quarter results of the company we would find that its total revenue had moved up to Rs.27.81 crore as against Rs.26.04 crores in the September, '17 quarter. Also, the PBDT of company for Q3FY18 is Rs.2.02 crore as against Rs.16 lakhs in the September, '17 quarter. It is due to Depreciation and Tax component that the company came out with loss in the December, '17 quarter.
The year 2018 is expected to be action packed since it will be a big year before the general elections in 2019. The company is likely to hike the ad rates going forward. Also, similar to the telecommunications sector, television broadcasting organisations, including direct-to-home (DTH), cable services and headend in the sky (HITS) require huge investments in setting up technology and distribution networks and, as such, are ‘asset-rich’ organisations.
Indian Budget, '18-19, was a big thumbs up for Digital India and digitisation. With a view to promote digitization, the government of India is set to make the necessary investments in robotics, IoT, AI, digital manufacturing and big data analysis with the NITI Aayog to establish a national programme to direct efforts in the artificial intelligence. The governmemt has committed itself to the development of technology along with concentrating on AI and its application, a revolutionary move for the digital industry. The ministry has decided to double its Digital India budget to around Rs.3000 crore.
The ministry has also proposed to set up 5 lakh Wi-Fi hotspots to give access to 5 crore rural citizens, which means digital and internet penetration into smaller pockets of the country will result in increased data consumption across India. The move will help brands, agencies and OTT players to create target content for such markets.
Moreover, the government's thrust to rural infrastructure and agriculture in the budget could lead to additional broadcast revenues and may increase the number of TV households in India. As the standard of living increases, electrification expands and affordability goes up, the rural India will buy more television sets and the penetration will increase. A lot of the freedish homes might also get converted to pay TV homes, adding up to the subscription revenues of the broadcasters.
“Our baseline study indicated that economic prosperity and higher living standards goes hand in hand with TV penetration and higher TV consumption. With only two-thirds of Indian homes having access to TV, there is huge headroom for growth here, and this year’s budget should help drive up TV ownership and consumption in rural India," Dasgupta said.
Besides, advertising expenditure in India is expected to grow at 13% to touch Rs.69,346 crore in 2018 over 2017, according to a forecast by WPP-owned media agency GroupM in its report This Year Next Year (TYNY). This is higher than 10% that GroupM put out for 2017.
Therefore at the CMP of Rs.17.10, the share of the company having 5-established TV channels and having great plans ahead is available at the price of dirt. The scrip of TV Vision Ltd, should get ultimate support in the range of Rs.15.3-Rs.17.
