EMAMI: Margin outlook getting better; sales recovery key to re-rating
(HMN IN, Mkt Cap USD3.4b, CMP INR570, TP INR660, 16% Upside, Buy)
- Emami (HMN)’s 1QFY22 sales were in line with expectations. Domestic sales grew 5% v/s 1QFY20 levels. While Healthcare and Pain Management have nearly doubled over 1QFY20 levels, the impact of the second COVID wave led lockdown resulted in sharp decline over 1QFY20 in Navratna (in the crucial summer season) and Male Grooming.
- The outlook for the domestic business gradually improved in Jun’21 and Jul’21, after modest growth over a two-year period in 1QFY22. This was partly offset by slower growth in the International business (~12% of sales) due to COVID-related lockdowns, especially in the Middle East.
- Margin performance in 1QFY22 and the outlook were better than expected. The key to a further re-rating would depend on whether sales growth, after a period of extremely weak performance (3.7% CAGR over FY16–20), could revive to the double digits, followed by the mid-teen level on a sustainable basis. Maintain Buy.
