Valuation and view
GDL’s profitability has been impacted over the past two years on headwinds on macro trade (higher imbalance, discounts, etc) and DPD impact on its CFS business. However, we believe the earnings have bottomed and as trade is improving as reflected in rising port volumes should bode well for GDL. Considering the sharp correction in the stock over the past 6 months (~30%) and likely uptick in earnings (10% CAGR over FY18-20E), we find valuations attractive (based on SoTP) and upgrade to Outperformer with target price of Rs195. Key risk would be further scale up of DPD & slowdown in exim trade.
