Investment Rationale
The near-term outlook is challenging, impacted by demand weakness due to COVID-19 and sharp RM cost inflation. The latter will be gradually passed on over the next 2-3 quarters as demand returns once the pandemic ends. However, cyclical recovery in both OEMs and Replacement will enable faster absorption of new capacities and drive benefits of operating leverage. The brokerage expects revenue/EBITDA/PAT CAGR of ~16%/15%/7% over FY21-23E. Valuations at 10.5x FY23E consolidated EPS doesn’t fully capture ramp-up of new capacities in an improving demand environment, resulting in a recovery in margin. The brokerage maintains Buy rating with a TP of ~INR1,700/share (~13x Mar’23E consolidated EPS).
