Motilal Oswal on Coal India
CMP: Rs 264
TARGET PRICE: Rs 358
RATING: Buy
COAL is supplying higher share of production on a priority basis to the less-remunerative power sector, which is the reason behind the miss in FSA realization. Demand for domestic coal increases when imports are expensive, as is the case now. However, COAL is benefitting from higher e-auction prices and operating leverage. We lower our e-auction volume estimate by 20mt to 82mt, raise our e-auction price estimate by INR800/t to INR2,500/t and increase our adj. EBITDA
estimate by 1% to INR254b for FY19. We expect PAT CAGR (FY18-20) of ~27%, led by the full benefit of price hikes and evacuation charges, higher volumes and operating leverage. The stock trades attractively at 5x FY20E EV/adj. EBITDA. We value the stock on 6.5x FY20E EV/EBITDA at INR358/share. Maintain Buy.
