Dolat Capital is bullish on ITC has recommended buy rating on the stock with a target price of Rs 320 in its research report dated May 14, 2019.
Dolat Capital's research report on ITC
ITC’s Q4FY19 results were marginally ahead of our estimates. The cigarette business posted +9% volume growth, which was ahead of our estimate of 7%. However, decline in margins in the cigarette business is a cause for concern. Despite sluggish demand in Q4, ITC’s FMCG business delivered 7.3% increase in top-line and 100bps expansion in margin, was encouraging. We have maintained our FY20E and FY21E EPS estimates at ` 11.2 and ` 12.2, respectively. In our view, the stock is trading at a steep discount to peers and is an attractive bet.
Outlook
We value the stock at 26x PE, to arrive at a TP of ` 320. Maintain Buy. In volatile market conditions we believe that there would be some pressure on stock. Nevertheless, in the long run we maintain positive view on ITC.
