The L&T stock, which fell by over 5 per cent in intra-day trades on Monday bounced back towards the end of the session though it was still in the red. The stock has been badly de-rated since the engineering major made it clear that it was a contender for Satyam, picking up a 12 per cent stake in the tech firm. Had L&T won control at the winning bid of Rs 58 per share, the stock may have lost further ground. As it stands, not too much damage has been done.
The Satyam buyout gives the tech firm a chance to diversify away from telecom, something it badly needed to do. It shouldn't be too difficult for Satyam to be able to turn in an operating profit of close to Rs 1,000 crore in 2009-10, so that would translate into an EV/ebitda of 8.4 times for the company.

L&T has spent around Rs 600 crore for the Satyam stake, leading to a de-rating of its stock. But the bigger worry seems to be a loss of momentum in order inflows; L&T had indicated that orders would increase by about 30 per cent in the current year; that target may be missed because of a delay on the part of ONGC in awarding contracts. Besides, a small part of the current order book, which is a robust Rs 69,000 crore, could see delays of between 8-10 months.
"Whether it (stake to be offered in Satyam) is 31 per cent or 26 per cent, anybody coming in would have to make an open offer of 20 per cent in the market. Then the number of shares with the person or with the bidder could be higher than 31 per cent or 26 per cent. So that is not an issue," Corporate Affairs Minister P C Gupta told reporters in New Delhi.
