Resuming Coverage with a TP of PKR 331.40

We are resuming coverage on Honda Atlas Cars (HCAR) with a June 2019 target price of PKR 331.40. Our new target price offers a 57% upside to the stock’s last closing price, hence we are adopting a positive stance on HCAR. We believe that the company is currently going through a tough operating environment, but we still believe that it is a good investment as the market appears to have over-reacted to its issues. We are assuming that gross margins will remain restrained in the future at a level of 8.2% to 8.7%. Further we are assuming that sales will rise slightly after taking a hit in the Dec 2018 quarter (due to the non-tax filer issue), but they will be unable to rise to the FY18 level because of upcoming new entrants. For the September quarter we are expecting HCAR to post an EPS of PKR 8.07.
