Today’s top research idea
Trident - Initiating Coverage: An attractive utilization play
v
TRID is set to deliver CAGR of 9% in revenue and 24% in earnings over FY17-
20, driven by revenue CAGR of 44% in bed linen and 12% in bath linen.
v
The recently ventured bed linen segment is expected to turn EBITDA
profitable by 3QFY18 as utilization touches 40%. The segment’s share in
overall revenue should increase from 4% in FY17 to 9% in FY20.
v
After significant capacity expansion in bath linen in FY15, TRID is expected to
reap its benefits and witness higher utilization (65% in FY20 v/s 50% in FY17),
which would not require further addition of spindles as yarn capacity would
be utilized in-house.
v
The rising share of copier paper should lead to paper business margin
expansion of 340bp to 38% in FY20.
v
We value TRID at 11x FY19E EPS, arriving at a TP of INR114. Initiating with Buy.
