EICHER MOTORS
Reco price: Rs 1,556
Target price: Rs 1,965
Following the recent management meetings, the analysts' bullish view is strengthened on Eicher Motors. BofA Merrill Lynch raised its target price by 15 per cent, based on the higher valuation multiples of key operating segments (i.e. CVs/engines, two wheelers), which reflects solid business fundamentals driving a superior earnings growth. The management targets 100,000 unit sales (21 per cent CAGR) by 2015, largely predicated on the 16-40T heavy-duty trucks. A multi-pronged strategy to expand product range, applications and the spare parts business could make this achievable. Light vehicles continue to grow ahead of the industry, which is impressive, given the tough economic environment. Analysts expect margins to trend up from 13 per cent, currently operating well below the peers. The global engine platform (five-eight litre) will enhance the technological capability of the JV with respect to the scale (85k units, phase I), emissions (euro three-six compliant) and also improve the positioning of the domestic trucks.
