​Delta Corp (initiating coverage): Favorable odds; Dominating in ‘brick world’, entering ‘click world’

(DELTA IN, Mkt Cap USD0.6b, INR169, TP INR229, 36% Upside, Buy)

  • Delta Corp (DELTA) is India’s only listed gaming company, with a dominant presence in Goa’s offshore casino market. It owns three of the six offshore (five operational) gaming licenses in the state of Goa. It has ~1,700 gaming positions in the state across its three offshore casinos, one onshore casino and recently commenced casino in Sikkim. DELTA has an integrated casino resort in Daman, with 1,200 gaming positions which is awaiting regulatory approval. It has also forayed into online gaming, with the acquisition of Adda52.com.
  • Delta Corp (DELTA) is the leading player in India's underpenetrated gaming market. Gaming is an emerging industry in India; given its paltry size of ~USD150m (Global size of USD183b), the growth potential is huge.
  • Approval of its casino in Daman is a key growth trigger for DELTA, as it would nearly double its gaming capacity (from ~1,700 currently to ~3,000) and further cement its first-mover advantage.
  • M&A opportunities in the fast-growing online gaming business in India would allow DELTA to leverage its current strength and open up new avenues for growth. It recently announced the acquisition of Adda52.com, an online poker gaming website.
  • We expect 35% revenue CAGR, 45% EBITDA CAGR and 62% PAT CAGR over FY17-19E. EBITDA would be driven by strong operating leverage. We initiate coverage with a Buy rating. Our target price is INR229 (30x FY19E EPS), indicating an upside of ~39%.
