Motilal Oswal Financial Services on Bosch

Recommendation: NEUTRAL

CMP: Rs 13,517

TP: Rs 14,715

Upside: 9%

We have reduced our FY20/FY21 EPS estimates by 7-9% to factor in the weak demand environment. The stock trades at 28.2x/23.4x FY20/FY21 EPS. BS6 transition poses risk of further market share loss in CVs as well as continuous decline in its stronghold - PV diesel, but opportunities are expected to open up for BOS in 2Ws (one of 3-4 players in 2W EFIs). We estimate EPS to grow just ~3% CAGR over FY19-21 as the changing competitive positioning poses a threat to our estimates. Hence, we lower our target P/E multiple from 27x to 25x, at ~25% discount to 10-year LPA of 33x. Maintain Neutral.

Motilal Oswal Financial Services on BPCL

Recommendation: BUY

CMP: Rs 343

TP: Rs 465

Upside: 36% 

- Stable crude oil and exchange rate may drive structural changes in pricing of LPG and kerosene, bidding farewell to all under-recoveries.
 
- Factoring in the performance of 1QFY20 and the marginal impact of Ind-AS 116, we revise down our EPS estimate by ~16%/12% for FY20/21.
 
- BPCL is trading at 9.1x FY20E consol. EPS of Rs 37.7 and 7.5x FY20E EV/EBTIDA. We value BPCL at 1.9x FY21E PBV multiple. We reiterate our Buy rating with a target price of Rs 465.

Motilal Oswal Financial Services on Coal India

Recommendation: BUY

CMP: Rs 204

TP: Rs 278

Upside: 36% 

- COAL has managed to keep costs under control on the back of productivity measures and shutting down of old mines. We note that despite it undertaking price hikes for contractual labor in 2HFY19, cash costs/t have declined YoY.
 
- Ongoing efficiency measures and continued growth in volumes (our est. 5-6%), should drive 5% EBITDA CAGR over FY19-21, despite the high base of FY19.
 
- The stock trades attractively at ~3x FY20E EV/adj. EBITDA (v/s historical average of 7x), P/E of 7-8x (v/s average of ~14x) and offers dividend yield of ~9-10%. We value the stock on 4.5x (v/s 5x earlier) FY20E EV/EBITDA at INR278/share. Maintain Buy.
