Govt may tighten rules for companies not spending CSR funds: Report

These new restrictions on CSR funds are part of a list of proposed amendments to the Companies Act, 2013, that the government will take up during the Winter session of Parliament

Companies not spending their entire corporate social responsibility (CSR) corpus and diverting funds to their balance sheets will now have to declare the amount not spent in their annual report, according to a report by The Hindu Business Line.

Moreover, companies will have to transfer the unspent funds to a separate bank account and spend it within three years, the news daily reported.

These new restrictions on CSR funds are part of a list of proposed amendments to the Companies Act, 2013, that the government will take up during the Winter session of Parliament, sources told the paper.

The amendment may make CSR spending mandatory, as against the current practice of either 'complying' (spending) or 'explaining' why the funds were not spent.

The Corporate Affairs Ministry recently announced that it is examining the records of the top 1,000 companies that were required to spend under their CSR initiative.

Disclosures by 77 companies for FY18 showed unspent amounts equalling a third of their prescribed CSR spending, data from PRIME Database revealed. Median spending of companies has slightly improved over the years to 69.98 percent of the total corpus in FY18, from 42.33 percent in FY15.

Of the 6,286 companies under government scrutiny, most firms reportedly spent less than the mandated amount in April-November of 2016-17, the news daily reported. About 2,203 firms spent more than the required amount during the same period.

A high-level committee recently set-up to strengthen CSR norms has proposed amendments to the existing guidelines.

The amendments seem to force companies to spend money earmarked towards CSR rather than letting them accrue it on the balance sheet. Keeping the money reserved but unspent does not serve any purpose," a legal expert told the paper.

Year-end bonanza? These 25 stocks are trading below their 5-year avg PE

The general rule is that when a stock is trading below its 5-year PE, it usually indicates sluggish movement in price, which is further linked to earnings potential

The Indian market rebounded in November after having corrected significantly in September and October. The bounceback helped Sensex reclaim 36,000 and pushed Nifty over 10,900, but there is still plenty of action that one can expect from individual stocks.

Half the stocks in the Nifty are trading below their 5-year average price/earnings multiple, which suggests there is still some value left in them.

Stocks that are trading below their 5-year average PE include Bajaj Finserv, HPCL, Eicher Motors, JSW Steel, Indiabulls Housing Finance, HCL Technologies, GAIL India, Infosys, Hero MotoCorp, Bajaj Auto, Cipla, and NTPC, among others.

As many as 9 of these 25 stocks more than doubled investors' wealth in the last five years -- Yes Bank, HDFC, IOC, BPCL, Indiabulls Housing Finance, JSW Steel, Eicher Motors, HPCL, and Bajaj Finserv.

PE ratio or PE multiple is a widely-used valuation tool that helps in screening a stock on a relative basis.

The stock market has remained volatile for most of 2018, despite Nifty climbing to a record high of 11,760 earlier this year. The rise in the index was supported by a handful of stocks, as others lacked momentum.

Both Sensex and Nifty slipped after hitting record highs, but the pain was much worse in small and mid-cap indices, which saw double-digit falls from their respective highs.

The BSE Midcap index has slipped 17 percent this year, while the BSE Smallcap index has fallen 28 percent. In comparison, the Sensex is down just 7 percent from its 2018 high.

The Nifty recovered a bit in November, but only a few names were responsible for it. But it is a known truth that consolidation offers an opportunity to buy quality names that are currently trading below their 5-year average PE.

Generally, when a company is trading below its 5-year average PE, it is perceived to be undervalued. But to qualify as a stock worth buying, it should be backed by superiority in business fundamentals, experts suggest.

But, is the valuation methodology enough for investors to hit the buy button? Well, maybe not, suggest experts. The general rule is that when a stock is trading below its 5-year PE, it usually indicates sluggish movement in price, which is further linked to earnings potential.

“The PE multiple is a derivation of factors like earnings growth, operating margin, the fundamental outlook of the company prevailing in the market that decides a future prospectus,” Dinesh Rohira, Founder & CEO, 5nance.com told Moneycontrol.

“In general, it indicates the stock is not able to garner earnings potential or company is at bad phase on fundamentally. When there is no earnings visibility, investors will be unwilling to pay price or premium for such a company that in turn halts the stock price,” he said.

Rohira further added that to get a clear understanding, an investor should compare PE of a company with its peers. One should not take PE at its face value.

To make an investment call, it requires a holistic approach and disciplined study from investors which usually boils down to fundamental aspects of a company. Although, most of the stocks which are trading below their 5-year average have also corrected in double digits from their highs but investors should do their own research before pressing the buy button.

We believe PE should not be looked in isolation, Atish Matlawala, Sr Analyst, SSJ Finance & Securities said. A company with higher growth potential could see increase buying from investors which could in turn boost PE multiple of the stock, but the trouble is many of these companies may not grow at the same pace as they grew in the last five years, he explained.

“Sector like NBFC and auto may see their growth taper down as the cost of funds increases. Having said that there are few companies which we believe can give better returns in the medium to long-term perspective. These companies are HCL Technologies, Infosys, HDFC, Tata Steel and Vedanta,” Matlawala said.

He added that average PE will decline with declining growth prospects. It is therefore important to look at PEG ratio to make investment decisions. For the metal sector, one must look at EV/EBITDA ratio to select companies.
