Valuations & view
We estimate 19.7% revenue CAGR over FY18-20E for SEL, led by a strong order backlog of Rs137bn (3.9x TTM revenues) and a high share of executable orders. Margins and working capital levels too should improve going forward, led by a better revenue mix, improved recoveries and receipt of yet to be drawn mobilization advances. We estimate 30.4% pre-tax earnings CAGR over FY18-20E. However, due to emerging challenges on availability of funding and higher interest rates in the country, we have lowered our EPC business multiple by 20% to 15x, thereby valuing EPC business at Rs36bn. Adjusted for Rs136/sh (of SEL) value of SIPL, SEL trades at 5.4x FY20E standalone earnings. Maintain outperformer with a revised SoTP based TP of Rs343
