Today’s top research idea
S H Kelkar & Co.: Structurally secure; but near-term headwinds
Fire in BASF’s German chemical plant, China resorting to factory shutdowns in a
move to regulate environmental laws, and floods in the US have caused several
supply-side disruptions for flavors and fragrances (F&F) players like S H Kelkar
(SHKL), with sourcing of raw materials like orange oil, citral and Isoprenol being
severely affected. BASF alone accounts for 20-25% of SHKL’s RM requirements.
While SHKL maintains a large stock of inventory, severe supply constraints
could exert pressure on margins over the next 2-3 quarters.
We, however, believe that margin compression will be partly offset by the
shifting of production from the Netherlands facility to Vapi (likely to be
completed by July/August 2018).
We cut our FY19 EBIDTA estimate by 7% and
PAT estimate by 8%.
