Venturing into electric vehicle business
Shrinking FCF and rising risk will de-rate; Downgraded to Sell
JSW Energy’s (JSWE) 1QFY18 operating performance was in-line. Merchant power
sales were weak, fuel cost increased but hydro power generation was strong on
better availability of water. Simultaneously, JSWE announced venture into
electric vehicle space with investment of INR35-40b over the next three-years.
Although it is a very promising space, yet there is no visibility of payback in next
3-5 years. This changes the risk profile of company, which may irk existing
minorities and de-rate the stock. Further, JSWE has given ICD of INR10b to JPVL,
which is an NPA in the books of banks. The visibility of acquisition of Bina and
EUP1 of JPL too has reduced. SOTP has reduced to INR49/share on shrinking FCF
and rising risk profile of investments. Downgrading to Sell.
