Air conditioner ordering takes the center stage
Ordering dominated by air conditioners:
EESL placed orders worth INR7.1b in
April-May 2017, as against INR5.2b in the year-ago period, an increase of 68%
YoY. Ordering was dominated by air conditioners (63% of total orders), followed
by LED lamps (23%) and fans (10%). EESL placed orders for 0.1mn ACs (INR4.4b
in April-May v/s INR87m in the year-ago period) at average price of INR44, 200
(INR35, 000+taxes), of which Panasonic accounted for 60% and Godrej & Boyce
for 40%. For FY18, EESL targets to order 150m LED lamps, 50m tube lights and
20m fans while over FY18-20, it looks to order 20m LED tube light, 60m fans and
10m ACs.
LED sees marginal revival in pricing:
EESL placed orders for 40m LED lamps in
April-May 2017 at average price of INR41. Pricing witnessed marginal revival
(+8%) post the low bid of INR38 in February 2017. LEDVANCE accounted for 50%
of the orders, followed by Crompton (30%) and Phillips (20%). Ordering for
April-May 2017 stood at INR1.6b, as against INR2.8b during the same period last
year (down 157%). Ordering activity declined in the lighting segment, with
EESL’s focus shifting to other product categories.
Fans segment sees further price erosion:
Fans witnessed ordering of INR739m
in April-May 2017 at average price of INR740, as against earlier pricing of
INR764. EESL placed orders for 1m fans in these two months. Marc Enterprises is
the market leader with a share of 43%, followed by Crompton (23%), Surya
Roshni (20%) and Orient Electrics (12%).
Valuation and view:
We like Crompton Greaves Consumer’s strong product
portfolio, established brand, market leadership position, wide distribution
network and robust RoCE profile (30%/31% in FY18/19). We thus maintain our
Buy
rating on the stock with a target price of INR255 (35x FY19E EPS of INR6.6).
For Havells, we maintain our
Neutral
rating with a target price of INR480, given
its premium valuations.
