(IGL IN, Mkt Cap USD3.2b, CMP INR314, TP INR360, 15% Upside, Buy)

 

  • EBITDA increased 20% YoY (+4% QoQ) to INR3.3b (our estimate of INR3.4b) in 4QFY19, led by higher volume growth. However, EBITDA/scm declined marginally to INR5.9 (our estimate: INR6.3, 4QFY18: INR5.7; 3QFY19: INR5.9) due to higher costs. Notably, IGL did not take any price hike in the quarter.
