Motilal maintains "Buy" Rating on GCPL with a target price of Rs 1,080 apiece
According to the brokerage, GCPL's domestic businesses had demonstrated strong sales growth in the first half of the last decade, before losing steam in the second half. Domestic and consolidated sales growth crossed double digits in the last two years and appears to do so in FY23 as well, far better than the 4.1% sales CAGR between FY16 and FY20.
The brokerage said, "We expect GCPL to be the key beneficiary of the sharp reduction in raw material costs (especially palm oil) from the peak over the next few quarters. With the new CEO focusing on improving growth in the high-margin, high-RoCE domestic business, as highlighted in our recent CEO meet note, GCPL's medium-term earnings growth outlook is strong. The valuation at ~34x FY24E EPS is inexpensive and is at a steep discount to peers. We maintain our BUY rating with a TP of INR1,080 (based on SoTP valuation: 50x domestic business, 20x Indonesia business, 15x GAUM and other business)."
