We acknowledge the risks that Satyam presents given the lack of audited financials and the near-term overhang of L&T likely selling its stake. However, we believe Satyam still makes for a compelling turnaround story and that the audited results could reflect a better picture than investors fear. We believe an eventual merger with Tech Mahindra would be synergistic and could re-rate both the stocks ahead of the event. We also estimate Satyam has about USD700m or 28% of its market cap in cash that it can use strategically. Finally, large cap IT stocks have rallied 14-19% from their YTD lows, while Satyam is up only 3%, hence presents a case for a catch-up. Retain BUY.
