Edelweiss on Greenlam Industries

Factoring in the weak results and margin pressure, we are cutting the FY19/20 estimates by 11%/13%. We are also slashing the target multiple by 10% to 24x based on a slower-than-expected pickup in demand and a sluggish trend in the anticipated shift towards organised players. Thus, we are revising down the target price to Rs 1,100 (from Rs 1,430).

That said, given its presence in niche segments and the potential turnaround of new segments, Greenlam will deliver an EPS CAGR of 31% over FY18–20 with an FY20E ROCE of 30% in our view. Maintain ‘BUY’.
