Today’s top research idea
Rain Industries (Initiating Coverage): Enduring tailwinds
Re-rated, yet attractive
RAIN is globally the second largest producer of calcine pet coke (CPC) and coal tar
pitch (CTP), which are used in aluminum smelting.
v
The dual benefit of demand growth and supply shock is driving CPC prices and
margins.
v
Capacity cuts in RAIN’s key markets have turned the margin outlook favorably for
CTP.
v
Global leadership, product innovation, and long-standing relationships with
leading customers and raw material suppliers are the key barriers to entry.
v
RAIN is investing in high-IRR projects to capitalize on the exponential rise in CPC
demand in India and in debottlenecking coal tar distillation in Europe.
Although the stock has got re-rated, valuations still appear attractive. We value the
stock at INR362 based on 6.5x EV/EBITDA of CY19E, and initiate coverage with a Buy
rating.
