Valuations & view
The 2W segment is facing challenges with regulatory led cost push (ABS/Insurance) coming at a time when competitive pressures in the industry are rising. Further, the risk of an increase in registration charges coupled with BSVI cost hikes increases the volume risk for H1 FY21. However, we believe that HMCL’s current valuations at ~13x 12 month trailing EPS seems to reflect these concerns. Maintain an Outperformer on inexpensive valuations. Target price of Rs2500 (~14XFY21E EPS).
