Investment Summary
BSRM Steels Limited mainly engaged in the production and supply of “Xtreme 500W” (the only EMF
(Elongation at Maximum Force) tested and Fatigue ductile rod in Bangladesh) deformed bars of
reinforced steel. Xtreme500W also demonstrated superior yield strength and ductility compared to the
traditional Grade 60 rebar. This reduced the quantity of steel consumed in any building by 15%. The
main purpose of the Company is to manufacture M.S. products by setting up rolling and re-rolling mills
and marketing the same. In 2017 the Company launched ‘BSRM Maxima’ which is the first Rebar of the
country designed specifically for the mega projects. The new Grade 80 will be more economical as it will
require 20% less steel in construction. The Company is supplying specialized steel to Padma
Multipurpose Bridge, Roopur Nuclear Power Plant, Mass Rapid Transit Project (Rail), Metro Rail, Rampal
1320MW Power Plant, First Dhaka Elevated Express Way, Payra 1320 MW Thermal Power Plant Project.
Moreover, people are more quality and safety conscious. Resultantly, demand for quality steel like BSRM
product is rising. The production efficiency of the mill is very impressive during the period of July 2017
to June 2018. BSRM Steels Limited again produced more than its installed capacity. (Figure 3)
Highlights and Business Description:
We have issued a buy recommendation with a 1-year target price of BDT 92.69; representing a capital
gain of 55% from its April 21st
2019 closing price of BDT 59.80. To get this price, we allocated 50% weight
on FCFF model, 30% on P/E multiple and 20% on DDM model. (Figure 2). Our recommendations are
based on the following key catalysts:
• Bangladesh Steels is going to increase their production capacity with setting up new factories
in Mirsharai Economic Zone. According to the proposals, it was learnt that the BSRM group has
submitted two separate investment proposals for establishing iron plant and steel mill shop. They are
going to invest $59.45 million and sought some 100 acres of land in Mirsharai economic zone’s sector-
4 for iron plant and $180 million for another steel mill factory over 40 acres of land (Steel makers
contemplating fresh investment, 2018).
• BSRM is set to open a Sh6.5 billion ($65 million) factory in Kenya. Bangladesh Steel Re-Rolling
Mills Ltd (BSRM) announced the local venture to be known as BMS Steel Limited. The investment
partners have operations in Kenya and other countries in Africa. BMS Steel Limited will set up a
manufacturing facility with total investment of about $65 million to produce 0.40 million metric tons
BMS bars and sections per year. The new entrant is expected to take the battle for local production and
sale of steel products to local players’ doorsteps. (Bangladeshi steel maker, 2018).

• BSRM is set to open a Sh6.5 billion ($65 million) factory in Kenya. Bangladesh
Steel Re-Rolling Mills Ltd (BSRM) announced the local venture to be known as BMS Steel
Limited. The investment partners have operations in Kenya and other countries in Africa.
BMS Steel Limited will set up a manufacturing facility with total investment of about $65
million to produce 0.40 million metric tons BMS bars and sections per year. The new
entrant is expected to take the battle for local production and sale of steel products to
local players’ doorsteps. (Bangladeshi steel maker, 2018).
• BSRM Group is setting up a coal based 150 MW merchant power plant by
investing BDT 1.0 billion, which is likely to commence operation by 2019. The plant will
benefit the Company by providing smooth power supply at reduced cost.
• The Company is supplying specialized reinforcing steel for construction of Padma
Multi-purpose Bridge and Rooppur Nuclear Power plant and new Kanchpur Meghna
Gumti bridges.
• In 2016-17, the Company rolled out new grade reinforcing steel conforming to
the US standard ASTM 706 Grade 80 which will be more economical as it will require 20%
less steel in construction along with higher elongation than the older Grade 60.
From the above 1 year price volume chart we can get an insight of the fluctuation
of price and trading volume of the stock over the last year. BSRM Steels stock price
comparatively fluctuated in small range over the last year on average the price was
around 70. The 3 years price volume chart shows that the stock price has significantly
decline over the last years. In 2016 the stock price was more than 100 and now it’s
around 60. Moreover it also shows that the volume of trading has also decreased over
the years. The BSRM Steels share price maintained stable price across the range of 80-60
BDT over the year. Since, he BSRM Steels has an below average industry P/E ratio so it is
an undervalued share, which means it can be highly profitable to invest in this share
during the normal periods and gain high profit by selling of during/after the dividend is
announced. (Figure 4).

Macroeconomics
Construction sector and infrastructure growth of the country:
The construction sector is playing an increasingly strong role in the economy amid
continued urbanization and an array of large infrastructure projects undertaken by the
government. It is one of the 15 major sectors that contribute to the gross domestic product
(GDP).The sector posted 9.92 percent growth in 2017-18, up from 8.77 percent in the
previous fiscal year, according to the state-run Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS). The
sector's share to the GDP increased to 7.50 percent in the last fiscal year, which was 7.36
percent in 2016-17. The value of the economic activities in the sector was Tk 73,595 crore in
the last fiscal year. The mega projects taken by the government will boost up the growth of
this sector even higher. (Figure 6 and 7)
Stable economic growth and mega projects of the government:
Bangladesh's economy has grown 8.13 per cent this fiscal year, the highest in its history,
Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal said while releasing a provisional estimate. (GDP
growth 8.13%, breaks previous records, 2019)Bangladesh is likely to be the biggest mover in
the global gross domestic product rankings in 2030, becoming the 26th largest economy in
the world from 42nd now, according to the latest report of HSBC Global Research. HSBC's
long-term growth model projections showed that the real GDP growth of Bangladesh would
be 7.1 percent per year up to 2030, the highest among the 75 countries included in the report.
The country is projected to grow 7.3 percent from 2018 to 2023, 7.0 percent from 2023 to
2028, and 7.2 percent from 2028 to 2033. Bangladesh will be a $700 billion economy in 2030
from $300 billion now, according to the report. (Bangladesh to be 26th largest economy,
2018). (Figure 4).
Population growth, urbanization and stable unemployment rate:
In addition to favorable demographics, rapid growth in urbanization will certainly
contribute the steel industry to grow further. Bangladesh has a market of over 160 million
people with a population growth of 1.04% (Source: CIA Factbook, 2017). The country’s
urban population is growing faster than the growth of the total population which is
favorable for the industry which is eventually causing potential rise in living standard and
income level of the people. This will certainly help to propel the steel industry by generating
more revenue through increasing sales volume. The population growth remained constant
at 1.21% and the unemployment rate was around 4.20% which seems positive for a country
with such large population. The literacy rate and male-to-female ratio also followed
constant patterns.

Steel industry overview
Market players
There are around 400 steel mills in Bangladesh with a total production capacity of around 8 Million MT.
Currently major steel producers Abul Khair and BSRM plan on significantly raising their crude steel
production. KSRM, GPH, Anwar, Rani, and SSRM are also expanding. According to a 2016 report by EBL,
Abul Khair, BSRM, and KSRM account for more than 90% of total capacity in manufacturing billet, and
more than 50% of the country’s annual demand. (Figure 9)
Market Fundamentals
The demand for steel in Bangladesh is mainly driven by infrastructure projects in commercial, housing,
and public sector. The public sector can be further broken down to implementation of the government’s
annual development plans and infrastructure projects. It’s estimated that the sector turns over around
$3.6bn every year. In 2016, government projects amounted for almost 40% of total steel consumption.
Bangladesh is heavily reliant on imports of semi-finished and finished steel products as well as flat
products while being strategically positioned next to the top two steel producers in the world, China and
India. The majority of imports are scraps, flat products, and semi-finished and finished steel products
making up a total of 6.992 Million MT or over 93% of all imports. Given the nature of steel businesses as
heavy manufacturing, cost of production for goods sold can be as great as 80-90% of revenue. The
business mainly relies on importing billet, the main raw material required for production. Although the
local market is capable of meeting over 90% of demand for billets, a considerable amount of imports are
still required due to the majority of production is used as a backward linkage for producer’s own re-
rolling mills. (Figure 10 and 11)
The emerging market
The global steel industry is going through a slowdown; however there are a few countries which have
performed extremely well and Bangladesh is one of them. The steel sector in Bangladesh has recorded a
15 per cent growth in 2015 riding on infrastructure projects both housing and public utilities. The
country is one of Asia’s most emerging steel markets and has a growing need for raw materials and
steelmaking technologies. The growth trend will continue for the next 20 years to 25 years and the steel
demand will also increase in line with development activities of the government and the booming
housing sector in both urban and rural areas. The ongoing major projects like 'Padma Bridge', 'Dhaka-
Chittagong Access Control Highway' and the upcoming major projects like 'Dhaka Elevated Expressway'
and the 'Deep Sea Port' would be requiring huge quantity of quality construction materials. Historical
data shows that consumption of steel has been increasing. The industry grew from producing a merge
47,000 MT in 1971 to 4.0 million Mt in 2016.The production of this sector expected to double about 8.0
million Mt on 2022 by the industrialists. (Steel industry review, 2018). Per capita steel consumption in
Bangladesh is now 45 kilograms (kg). The country's per capita steel consumption is projected to increase
to 73 kg by 2022. (Mega projects lift demands for steel, 2018). Iron Scrap is a major raw material for
steel units based in Bangladesh. Only a small amount of required small materials are available from local
source and the country needs to import significant volume of iron scrap materials from abroad. The
import of iron scrap has increased significantly over the last few years. Increasing trend of the importing
indicates future growth of the industry. (Figure 11)

Valuation: For the valuation we have use three different models name FCFF model, Dividend Discount
Model and Market Multiplier model.
FREE CASH FLOW TO FIRM (FCFF): FCFF model has been chosen for BSRM Steel’s valuation because, in the
past years, the company have maintained consistent growth in free cash flow. According to our analysis,
free cash flow is expected to increase in the upcoming years as well. FCFF reflects the overall
fundamentals of a company. Hence FCFF was found to be much relevant model to determine the stock
value of BSRM steels Ltd. For this model, we have first calculated the pro forma financial statements for
the next five years (2019-2023). Based on the future growth we calculated the FCFFs. For the next five
years the sales growth is 12.07% and that has been reflected in the FCFF as well. For the second phase, we
have assumed a constant terminal growth rate for the rest of years till liquidation of the company. We
fixed terminal growth as 7.5%. We assume that the growth rate will be closer to our GDP growth from the
next five years. Therefore, we fixed a terminal rate which is very close to our gdp growth. Based on the
growth rate we calculated the present value of the future cash flows and then we deducted net debt from
the enterprise value to calculate the equity value. Furthermore, dividing the equity value by no of shares
outstanding we calculated the intrinsic value per share. We have found the current market price of the
company is less than the intrinsic value hence the company is undervalued. Our expected terminal growth
rate is 7.5%. To determine this rate, we analyzed the growth potential of the industry and BSRM Steels
Ltd. As the company still has a lot of scope to grow and its growth is aligned with the overall development
of the country, we expect 7.5% terminal growth rate for the company. With the continuous development
of the country there will rise in the construction sector in the country. Moreover, the population of
Bangladesh is on the rise. There will be growth in the housing and construction sector in the future.
Moreover the country has a constant GDP growth rate above 6%. Therefore, we assume that growth rate
will be close to the GDP growth rate of the country. (Figure 12)
Relative valuation (P/E Multiple): We have also done the valuation by using P/E multiple. We have
considered seven company’s stocks in our valuation model. Then we calculated the average price to
earnings ratio of the industry which is 16.18. The PE of BSRM steels Ltd is lower than industry average.
Multiplying the company’s EPS with the Industry average PE we calculated the intrinsic value of 69.88 per
share for BSRM Steels Ltd. The current market price per share of 59.8 indicates the company is now
undervalued. (Figure 13)
Dividend Discount Model: As the company has declared dividend over the last 5 years we used DDM
method for the valuation of the company. In the valuation process we first identified the dividend ratio in
each of previous five years. We the calculated the average dividend payout ratio over the last 5 years. Also
we considered the geometric EPS growth of the company. We found that the geometric EPS growth exceeds
the WACC. Therefore, instead of using constant growth rate model we followed multistage dividend growth
for next five years. And to find out the terminal value we used last five years PE ratio of the company. After
calculating we found the intrinsic value per share is 112.4 which is much higher than the current market
price of the company. Therefore, the company is now undervalued. (Figure 14)

Valuation summary: Combining all the three models we calculated the intrinsic value of per
share of BSRM Steels Ltd. Based on their relevance in the valuation we fixed different weight
for different valuation models. To our valuation FCFF model gets heights priority compare to
the others. Therefore we gave 50% weight to this model. We gave lowest weight to DDM model.
We have seen that the dividend payout ratio has decreased over time. Moreover, the company
is expanding its capacity and focused on increasing retained earnings. It might be the case that
the company might not declare dividend in the upcoming years. Therefore, we believe that the
model should get lowest weight in the valuation. For the relative valuation we fixed the weight
of 30%. The overall valuation gives us intrinsic price of 92.69 per share of the company. So the
stock is undervalued by 55.00%. (Figure: 2). In order to determine our expected terminal growth
we used a sensitivity analysis of change in terminal growth against change in WACC. (Figure 16).
If WACC increases above 14.50% it will be a sell call, and if terminal growth falls below 6.50% it
will be a sell call.
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)
To calculate the required rate of return of equity we followed the CAPM model. Here we
calculated the beta of the stock and market return using last 6 years data. As the market return
is too low we can’t find out appropriate risk premium. Therefore, we have used the equity risk
premium directly that is calculated by Aswath Damodaran. To calculate the required rate of
return of debt we first considered the risk free rate on 5 years debt. Then we considered the
average credit spread in Bangladesh. According to Bangladesh Bank the average credit spread
in the country is 4.15%. Since the company has high debt to equity ratio the weighted average
cost of capital is comparatively lower than other companies who have more equity in the capital
structure.

The average expected growth rate of 12.07% was calculated based on the multiple
regression analysis of the several dependent and independent variables such as: GDP,
per capita consumption of steel, population growth, GDP from construction, CAGR of
BSRM Steels, Import of Iron scraps and Real Estate sector of Bangladesh. We found the
relative growth average (with given weight 0.4 and 0.6) for the two multiple regression
models 7.64% and 15.02%. We used the average of these two YoY average growth
rates of relative variables and assumed our expected growth rate for BSRM Steels to
be 12.07% over the next 5 years (2019-2023). Running regression of these major
determining factors with the annual sales of BSRM gave an R^2 of around 90%.
Kurtosis (distribution or volatility of skew): The kurtosis of BSRM Steels return
distribution is 57.9384. The distribution is longer and the tails are flatter. The peak of
the return distribution is higher than normal distribution, this means the returns are
heavily tailed and there are a lot return outliers. The outliers stretch the horizontal axis
so this makes the returns appear in a narrow and high vertical range, and the
distribution can be addressed as a leptokurtic distribution.
Skewness (measure of asymmetry in the distribution): The skewness for the return
distribution of BSRM Steels is 2.5097, which means the return distribution is highly
positively-skewed. The median will be greater than the mode as there is asymmetry in
the return distribution. Thus, the BSRM Steels stocks will provide high returns to the
investors.

Risk factors and concerns
1. Business Risks
Risks associated with sourcing of Raw Materials: Against their production capacity of 7,00,000 MT MS Rod, they have their billet manufacturing plant having capacity
of 2,20,000 MT. On the other hand BSRM Steel Mills Limited, an associate company of BSRM Steels Limited can meet rest of the required billets of the company.
BSRM Steels Limited is going to establish it’s another Melting Unit with a capacity of 430,000 MT per annum at Mirsarai, Chattogram which will start its commercial
production during year 2019. So group will be self-sufficient for its basic raw materials of billet.
Risks associated with Power Supply: Presently the primary constraint on the economic development of Bangladesh is the shortage of power for which new
industrial investments proposal from home and aboard have failed to materialize.For ensuring uninterrupted power supply BSRM Group has made a deal with
PGCB and installed a substation for tapping power from the 230 KV national grids.
2. Market Risks
Interest rate risk: The business of BSRM Steels Limited requires huge working capital. Although the company closely monitors and manages requirement of capital
investment, the actual capital requirement may deviate from the projected one due to factors beyond its control, thus potentially affecting the borrowing costs.
Interest rate on working capital and term loan has increased during last six months of this year which also affected the net income of the company.
Foreign Exchange Fluctuations: Foreign currency risk is the risk of changes in exchange rates that adversely affect the company’s earnings, equity, and
competitiveness. They are hugely involved with Foreign Trade i.e. Import & Export and thus they are also exposed to Foreign Currency Risks. Exchange rate gains
or losses related to foreign currency transactions are recognized as transaction gains and losses in our income statement as incurred. They also maintain foreign
currency account in which export collection is directly deposited and they can meet foreign currency payment requirements.
Competition and Economic conditions: Competition refers to the risks of decreasing present market share caused by new entrants. As it’s an oligopoly industry
the industry is driven by few large companies. Actions of a large company has direct effect on others business. They try to mitigate this risk through active brand
management and customer relationship and by ensuring timely supply of quality product.
Initial price 59.08 Current market price of the stock on 16th April, 2019
Mean 3.29% Annualized mean return
Sigma 35.29% Annualized standard deviation
Delta_t 0.004 We considered 250 trading days a year
To simulate 10 pathways for the stock price with lognormal distribution we used the
Initial stock price to be 59 and multiplied it with the
EXP(Mean*Delta_t+Sigma*SQRT(Delta_t)*NORM.S.INV(RAND())) Here we kept the
probability as random because stock prices can take any random values. The lognormal
distribution generates simulation of positive stock prices. This is more realistic and
logical compared to the normal distribution simulation. We calculated the Delta_t by
dividing 1 by 250, since we assumed 250 days in a year. The Lognormal simulation helps
us to get an idea of the share price range in the future and we can see that the highest
the price will go around 120 BDT and the lowest around 20 BDT.

Return and Sigma Calculations: We collected the daily trading close price and volume
from January 2014 to 21st April 2019 of BSRM Steels in DSE, and the DSEX trade
volume and price of the corresponding days, from the Dhaka Stock Exchange website.
The daily average return was calculated using the average change in price for the each
day over the 5 years period. The daily standard deviation was calculated using the
=STDEV.S() function in excel, the y-variable was the BSRM Steel daily return % and the
x-variable was the DSEX daily return %.
We assumed the annual trading days to be 250 in a year, and multiplied it with the
daily return to get the Annualized return. We multiplied the squared-root of 250 days
with the daily standard deviation to get the annualized standard deviation. The Beta of
the BSRM Steels stock price with DSEX index was calculated using the =Slope() function
in excel and also using regression analysis.
Calculating Return on Equity using regular CAPM formula gives a very low value which
is not reliable and logical. So, in the WACC worksheet we found the Return on Equity
through more integrated calculations.
