Havells India share price target
Post Q3 earnings of Havells India, the research analysts of Yes Securities said “Havells has once again delivered inline revenue growth with sequential margin improvement. Growth was aided by higher volumes across the product categories with B2B side faring better while B2C business saw impact of high inflationary environment. Margins saw sequential improvement on back of stable commodity prices as most of the high‐cost inventory for Havells was liquidated in Q3. Management expects further margin improvement in Q4 as high‐cost inventory for Lloyds would be liquidated in Q4. Managementis cautiously optimistic of demand as channelfilling for summer products has been strong for Fans and RAC, while rise in commodity prices from end of December could lead to margin volatility going forward." “Given the thrust on revenue growth and market share gains, we are factoring FY22‐25E revenue growth trajectory of 15% CAGR. We however have trimmed our margin estimates considering volatility again increasing in commodity prices, higher investments in brand building and normalization on A&P spends. We estimate EBITDA and PAT CAGR of 13% and 16% respectively. We maintain our target price to ₹1,480 valuing the stock at 55x and roll forward our target multiple and reiterate our BUY rating. We see strong revenue growth momentum and gradual margin improvement in next 2 years as company is increasing its distribution presence on e‐commerce and rural areas. We continue to maintain our positive stance on the stock and current correction in the stock price should be used to accumulate the stock as we feel company can continue to outperform industry and its peers," they further added.
Prabhudas Lilladher said in a note that “We tweak our FY23/FY24 earnings upwards and maintain ‘BUY’ rating on Havells India (HAVL IN). Improvement in ECD mostly with fan destocking and expected price hike, robust performance in cable business and expected sequential reduction of losses in Lloyd with reduction in high cost inventory & price hike, will augur well for Havells in coming quarters. We are optimistic on long term growth prospects considering 1) its diverse product portfolio covering 70% of household electric sockets, 2) is amongst top 3 players in most product categories 3) focus is on innovation and continuously driving brand affinity and 4) expanding distribution reach with emphasis on untapped rural market (through rural vistaar project covered 40,000 outlets in FY22 and planned opening of >1000 Utsav stores by FY23). We estimate 16.9% earnings CAGR over FY22-25 and assign a DCF based target price of Rs1,447. Maintain ‘BUY’."
Nirmal Bang Securities said “Havells India reported 3QFY23 revenue of Rs41.2bn, up 12.8% YoY (3-year CAGR of 22%), 2.1%/1.8% above our/consensus estimates on the back of healthy growth across all business verticals. Switchgears/Cables/Lighting & Fixtures/ECD/Lloyd grew by 3.7%/17.1%/3%/4.7%/30.3% YoY. Gross margin expanded by 70bps YoY to 33% due to the easing of commodity cost pressures. EBITDA declined by 3.8% YoY to Rs4.2bn. EBITDA margin contracted by 180bps YoY to 10.3%, which was above our estimate of 8.5%, but below consensus estimate of 10.6%. EBITDA margin improved by 250bps QoQ mainly due to recovery in Cables segment margin post liquidation of high-cost inventory. Contribution margins expanded across segments due to stability in raw material (RM) prices during the first half of 3QFY23. Consequently, the PAT declined by 7.2% YoY to Rs2.8bn. The bottom-line was above our estimate by 25%, but below consensus estimate by 1.8%. The management highlighted that muted B2C demand affected consumer facing businesses. Further, RM cost volatility started increasing from the second half of 3QFY23. Margins in Lloyds are expected to improve 4QFY23 onwards as it exhausts highcost inventory. We believe that while there may be near term pain on the margins front, outlook over the medium term remains strong as efforts towards brand building in Lloyds will likely bear fruits. We have tweaked our numbers marginally and continue to maintain a BUY on Havells with a revised target price (TP) of Rs1,415 (Rs1,475 earlier) based on 50x on Sept’24E EPS."
