Today’s top research ideas
CEAT (Initiating Coverage): Well balanced
CEAT will continue focusing on the consumer-facing passenger segment –
two wheeler (2W)/passenger vehicles (PV), evident from its plan to double
capacity over FY16-18. This is likely to help expand its market share in
2W/PV from 27%/9%.
Its foray into high-margin, export-focused off-highway tyres is likely to drive
the dwindling exports business.
The product mix should improve further in favor of 2W/PV from 38% to 49%
over FY16-19E, partly insulating the company against rubber price volatility
and improving margins.
Over FY17-19E, we expect revenue/PAT CAGR of 11%/ 25%, with a 150bp
margin expansion and a 260bp RoE improvement to 19%. We value the
stock at 10x FY19E EPS, and initiate coverage on CEAT with a Buy rating and
a target price of INR1,406 (implying ~29% upside).
