ICICI Securities has maintained its ���buy��� rating on the stock saying the company will benefit from gas grid expansion and improved visibility on gas supply. Post-commencement of NGG (national gas grid) operations, says ICICI Securities, GAIL���s returns may settle below its recent average as the future growth will likely be skewed toward annuity earnings from transmission. ���Assuming the absence of growth in the existing business beyond FY11E, GAIL���s RoCE (return on capital employed) is likely to be 16.4% in FY16E versus 14.8% in FY09E,��� the note said. ICICI Securities expects GAIL���s EBITDA CAGR (compound annual growth rate) at 12.3% and net income CAGR at 8.6% over FY08-11E, driven by gas transmission business, expected to grow at 16% revenue CAGR through FY08-11E (estimated).
