We retain our ‘Hold’ rating and target price of ₹1,215 on Vesuvius India.
Q1CY17 performance was in line with strong growth of about 28 per cent each at Revenue/EBITDA level led by higher business activity at large mills. We expect the robust earnings growth to continue, led by i) continuation of solid pick-up in volumes from large mills coupled with operating leverage benefits; ii) addition of new product segments such as cement; and iii) establishment of the R&D centre in CY17E.
Stock trades at rich valuations of 24.3x CY17E P/E thereby factoring the future earnings growth fully and limiting upside in our view.
