We feel that this gross margin contraction is on account of intense competition in RAC space where other companies have become super aggressive. JCHAC has been losing market share as well as margins in this super competitive environment. We have revised our estimated downwards and now expect FY22-25E revenue/EBITDA/PAT CAGR of 17%/32%/91% on the lower base. Given the headwinds company is facing, we continue to remain Neutral the stock with a revised PT of Rs1,149 now valuing it at 35x rolling forward valuation multiple.

    CEAT 3QFY23 results were better than estimates as consol gross margins expansion of 200bp QoQ at 34.5% (est 33%) surprised positively. This was led by ~4% decline in blended RM basket QoQ and price hikes. On S/A basis while volumes declined ~6.5% QoQ, ASPs grew 0.5% QoQ. YoY basis large volume growth was led by OEMs while exports/replacement have been weak QoQ. We believe, with stability in key RM prices (such as NR and crude) and aggressive price hikes (management hinted at up to ~1-1.5% blended price hike likely in Nov v/s 4% in 2Q) to help margins expansion QoQ. Going forward, focus on high margin segments such as exports and OHT over TBR (being a low ROCE biz) to aid volumes and margins.  We maintain BUY target with TP of Rs1,917 (v/s 1819 earlier).

  • Stock Market Live Updates: Yes Securities Gives BUY Recommendation to Home First Finance Company

    Key highlights of this consistently robust performance were a) stronger-than-expected disbursements/AUM growth, b) moderated BT Out, c) adeptly managed portfolio spread, d) benign credit cost on improvement in delinquency buckets and e) enhancement of Stage-3 coverage. RoA was sustained at an elevated level of 3.8% and RoE further rose to 13.7%. Trajectory of portfolio spread compression would be a key monitorable from hereon, but loan growth and asset quality would stay resilient in our view. Our FY23/24 earnings estimates have seen an upgrade of 3-4%, mainly on raising of loan growth assumptions. We estimate RoA delivery of avg 3.5% over FY23-25 with RoE surpassing 15% in FY25. Consistent strong execution on growth and asset quality underscores our conviction on Home First. We have a BUY rating on the stock with 12m PT of Rs1,030.

ASPs continue to grow for the fourth consecutive quarter by healthy 6.9% QoQ at record Rs94.7k/unit led by + fx, higher spares sales and favorable mix. Overall demand outlook remain mix as 1) domestic 2W volumes recovery continues to remain hopeful, 2) exports near-term volumes to see recovery in dispatches but retails to be weak led by currency headwinds in key African markets, 3) 3W volumes expected to recover in near term but to normalize post restocking.
