Investment Rationale
With the benefit of sales to InvIT, we see potential for the proceeds being distributed to shareholders. This should aid payout ratios (60-70%) and translate to a DPS of INR26-27/share over the next two years, implying a dividend yield of 7-8%. The brokerage sees additional distribution potential from: a) share in dividends from SPVs of the InvIT, b) sale of 26% stake in five SPVs, and c) further transfer of assets to the InvIT. Given a 7-8% dividend yield, backed by steady earnings growth (5-6% CAGR) and RoEs of 18%, PWGR remains attractively valued at 1.6x FY22E P/BV.
