Today’s top research idea
Hindalco: Remains focused on delivering stakeholder value
We hosted Mr Satish Pai, MD of Hindalco Industries, as part of ‘CEO Track’ at our
annual conference. Key takeaways:
Business model has become robust, with cost leadership and stability in Indian
upstream operations, leadership in global downstream operations, and
strengthened B/S.
Superior technology selection for smelters helped it achieve stable operations.
Novelis will continue expanding in auto space, where it enjoys global
leadership in supplying flat rolled products. Expect new investments in
US/China. Pricing pressure in can business has eased. Electric vehicles should
accelerate light weighting of vehicles, driving aluminum demand.
Continues focusing on deleveraging and allocation of capital in downstream
(less capital-intensive); pre-paid INR78b debt, plans to prepay another INR30b
in FY18.
Focus on deleveraging, operational excellence, customer centricity and cash
conservation to deliver stakeholder value.
