Sun TV (SUNTV) reported in-line nos revenue/PAT was up 10%/14% YoY, with ad revenues reaching pre-pandemic (2QFY20) levels and delayed benefit from the IPL offering spillover. This was offset by a sluggish subscription revenue run-rate. Our FY23E/FY24E estimates are largely maintained; we build in a 6% CAGR over FY2023E. The recent upbeat valuation for the new IPL team auction makes the stock valuation compelling at below 10x on Sept'23E. Along with intensifying content investments to win market share, this is a...

Sun TV, in its key market of Tamil, has improved its prime time fiction market share from 37% to 42% in the last three quarters, albeit it remains well below that earlier levels. The company envisages to take it to 50% in the medium term. Sun TV also intends to launch five to six shows including two big ticket shows (with total spend of | 50 crore for both shows) in Telugu and Malayalam in Q1FY22, which were delayed due to second wave that halted shootings. We expect the overall impact of the second wave and higher presence of local ad to push back ad revenue recovery. Furthermore,...

Delay in local retail revival leads to ad revenues decline Ad revenues have improved sequentially in unlock phases aided by festive boost. However, the decline was due to weakness in local retail sectors like jewellery, garments and other key retail clients while FMCG remains the biggest contributor. Currently, retail advertisers contribute only 10-12% of ad mix vs. 30% earlier and rebound in ad spend across all segments will be important. No fresh movie premiers also partly contributed to lower ad revenue. Ad minutes/hour was 12 during Q3 vs. pre-Covid levels of 16 (has...

Recommendation Target

ICICI Securities Limited

The subdued ad outlook in the near term affects growth prospects of Sun TV. Flagship channel saw dip in viewership post lockdown that does not bode well from ad rates/volume point of view. IPL profitability will also take a hit due to shift of venue, reduced sponsorship, etc. Hence, we downgrade the stock to HOLD. We would turn constructive when we witness SunNXT ramp-up, viewership share increase coupled with sustained ad recovery. We...
