Valuations & view
Amber has emerged as one of the leading design-focussed outsourced manufacturing companies with 55% market share, led by its cost-effective manufacturing, scale, backward integration, strong design capabilities and wide product portfolio. Accordingly, Amber with its strong value proposition is seeing benefits from recent import duty hikes as brands are localising vs China outsourcing of RAC production. Accordingly, we believe valuations at 22.6x FY20E earnings are attractive in view of 23% earnings CAGR over FY18-21E. Outperformer
