Result highlights
Valuation
New orders to diversify revenue stream. We expect revenue to clock a
16% CAGR over FY25-27, led by 38% growth in non-auto, 28% in xEV,
21% in tech-agnostic, and 10% in auto ICE. The robust Rs22bn orderbook
is comprised of PVs + CVs (29%), 2Ws (16%), non-auto (16%), xEV (15%),
aerospace/Defence (14%) and tech-agnostic (10%). We expect the
company’s outperformance to continue, thanks to greater focus on
xEV (drivetrain), tech-agnostic (aluminium forgings) and non-auto
(aerospace, semiconductor, Defence) components.
Better mix, Sweden subsidiary’s margin expansion and operating
scale to aid margins. We expect the EBITDA margin to expand from
17.4% in FY25 to 18.5% in FY27. The net-cash position would continue
ahead, supported by the recent QIP fund raise.
View, Valuations. We expect a 33% EPS CAGR over FY25-27, driven by
a 16% revenue CAGR and a 110bp EBITDA-margin expansion. The
outperformance would continue, with a higher wallet-share and sharper
focus on aerospace, xEV and tech-agnostic-specific components. An
increase in the non-ICE share would drive multiple re-rating as terminal
growth assurance improves. We recommend a Buy, at a TP of Rs1,600, 25x
FY27e EPS.
