Today’s top research idea
Sanghi Industries: Ready for the next leap
Diversification into new markets to bring in scale and margin expansion
SIL, a Gujarat-based cement company, has capacity of 4.1mt and sells ~90% of
volumes in Gujarat. It owns a 63MW captive power plant and a port.
SIL is one of the lowest cost cement producers due to its quality limestone,
locational advantage and strong integration across manufacturing value chain.
We expect SIL’s margin to expand by 8.4pp over FY17-20, led by (i)
commissioning of a waste heat recovery system (WHRS), (ii) focusing on coastal
mode of transportation by way of acquisition of ships and (iii) favorable
revenue mix with higher proportion of Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC).
Increase in capacity to 8.2mt over next 30 months and diversification into new
higher-priced markets should result in capacity-led re-rating.
Expect PAT CAGR of 61% to INR2.63b over FY17-20; RoE to increase by 11pp to
16.8% in FY20, led by sharp uptick in profitability.
We initiate coverage on SIL with Buy and TP of INR157 (23% upside; valuing its
present capacity of 4.1mt at USD120 EV/tonne; incremental capacity of 4.1mt
at USD78/t).
