Today’s top research Idea
Havells: Expanding share in electricals sector
Upgrade to Buy
Continuously entering new categories to drive growth:
HAVL has consistently
identified and entered new product categories over the years. Key categories
where it has made a successful entry include lighting in 2003, premium fans in
2005, water heaters in 2010, REO Switches in 2012, air coolers in 2014, re-
launch of the Standard brand in 2016 (target of INR10b by FY20) and entry into
EHV cables.
GST rate cuts to accelerate market share gains from unorganized sector:
The
government has cut GST rates across electrical categories from 28% to 18%,
and this should accelerate the shift toward the organized sector, especially in
categories like cables/wires, fans, switches and lighting, where the share of the
unorganized segment is high.
EESL threat recedes:
Our recent meeting with EESL indicates that its focus has
now shifted to electric vehicles, smart meters and solar rooftops from fans and
lighting. This should benefit electrical players like Havells.
