Investment Rationale
The brokerage believes the potential of all the in-development and newly developed areas mentioned above, remains material and can support 11-12% volume CAGR over the next 7-8 years (including ~5% normalised growth from Morbi). Current margin profile is vitiated by a record divergence in LNG and LPG prices, but it feels normalisation of the same is long overdue and will likely happen over the next 18-24 months, creating sourcing cost comfort. Nevertheless, the near-term headwinds on volumes and margins are too strong to be ignored, hence it remains cautious of growth over the next 12 months. It has revised FY23E / FY24E EPS by -0.1 / -2.3% and reduced the target price to Rs535/sh.
