Despite rising contribution of VAP categories, the profitability (EBIT margin) of the core business declined ~400 bps in FY17-19.

We believe the EBITDA margin of the company would remain in the range of 1920% (vs. ~23% clocked during FY17) as higher profitability from VAP...

Contrary to investment wisdom SEL has corrected sharply when it is perceived to get significantly deleveraged over next 2-3months. Asset light model, selective focus on EPC projects bidding, ROFO on HAM assets, 10% stake in IndInfraVit (already SIPL is in the money) and potential resolution to bleeding Rohtak Panipat project are other key re-rating triggers. Merger may be another positive as combined entity curtails equity intensive projects and surplus cash is utilized towards pursuing growth, without equity dilution. SEL is in a sweet spot. CPPIB backing is literally a large bank support. We maintain BUY. Key risks (1) Delay in SIPL stake sale; (2) Slow order inflows; and (3) Further delay in appointed dates. We maintain BUY on SEL with a reduced TP of Rs 269/sh (vs. Rs 340 earlier). We value SELs EPC business at 15x FY21E EPS and assign a 20% hold co discount to SIPL stakes market value. Price cut is on account of FY20/21E EPS downgrade by 24.4/20.4%.

We downgrade the target multiple for REPCO (from 2x to 1.5x) in view of deteriorating macros. This is in spite of access to adequate funds (from the largest PSB and PVT Bank), signs of improvement in growth with receding competition. However, we believe that the ill-effects of worsening macros are likely to override these positives. Valuations at ~1.1x FY21E remain enticing. A significant pickup in growth can drive up the stock, while further slips on asset quality pose risks. In spite of an in line 1Q performance (higher but sub-par growth, seasonal NPA spike and higher LLPs) we reduce multiple to 1.5x (from 2x) for REPCO given deteriorating macros. Maintain BUY. Our TP is Rs 443.
