The country now boasts of a number of corporate hospitals offering Five Star Medical facilities. India is a source market for professionals in the medical field for most of the renowned hospitals around the world. The cost of treatment is a fraction of costs in the other parts of the world with comparable success rates and service levels at par with the best in world. Medical Tourism itself could be a Big Opportunity and as per some estimates India can earn over US $ 1 billion annually from it. Moreover with many Insurance companies offering Health Insurance covers and most corporates taking Health Insurance for their employees, the opportunities for these hospitals are much more than ever before. Kovai Medical owns a 400-bed hospital and two Satellite Centres located in Southern part of the country. The company is aggressively scaling up its capacity- both through organic and inorganic route. For the current FY, the expected revenues of the company are Rs.70-72 crores with a PAT of Rs.7.0 crores. With its existing market cap of Rs.60 crores, the valuations of the company look attractive, when compared with the peer group. The new hospital acquired by the company is capable of adding Rs.8-10 crores to the topline of the company in a year. Therefore assuming a growth of 20% from the existing operations and addition from Idhayam Hospital, the company can target revenues of Rs.90-95 crores in FY 07-08. Moreover, with the expansion at its existing campus in Coimbatore getting completed by June 08, one can look forward to substantially higher revenues in the future. Kovai Medical, with this 400 bed hospital located on 20 acres in a prime location in Coimbatore, with 11 well equipped Operation Theaters, two Satellite Centre, its ongoing expansion and with the latest acquisition, the current market cap of Rs.60 crores is nowhere near the asset creation which is happening, apart from the fact that revenues and profits of the company are all set to grow over the next few years. Most Hospital stocks - be it Apollo Hospital, Indraprastha Medical or Kovai Medical, unlike many other stocks, have not seen wild gyrations in their stock prices on the bourses in the past two year. These stocks have been moving in a narrow band most of the time and seem to be consolidating. We believe the sector could outperform the indices in the times to come. Kovai with its Market Cap lower than its Sales Revenues and with a scalable business model seems to be a low risk bet at the current price.
