MOSL: MAHINDRA & MAHINDRA (Buy)-Best bet on rural recovery-Passenger UVs to witness stable competitive environment

​Mahindra & Mahindra: Best bet on rural recovery; Passenger UVs to witness stable competitive environment

(MM IN, Mkt Cap USD11.5b, CMP INR1271, TP INR1546, 22% Upside, Buy)

Best bet on rural recovery: M&M is the best play among key auto OEMs on the rural market recovery, with highest revenue contribution from rural markets. For M&M, rural market contributes ~56% to revenues, 77% to S/A PAT and ~75% to SOTP. We expect rural markets to fully recover from impact of demonetization from 1QFY18 onwards.

Tractors back on track after demonetization impact: After initial impact of demonetization, M&M’s tractor volumes are back on track and have grown at ~22.5% in FY17YTD. Despite such strong recovery in volumes, M&M’s FY17 tractor volumes at ~259k will be lower than previous peak of FY14 (at ~267k). We estimate ~12.5% CAGR in tractor volume growth over FY17-19E (implies ~4.2% CAGR over FY14-19E).

Passenger UVs: Worst is behind us as rural recovery to enable market share recovery…: With impact of demonetization gradually fading and lull in competitive launches in UVs, we expect M&M’s UV business to be back on growth path driven by a) rural recovery, b) launch of petrol variants in existing models, c) 1 new product launch each in FY18 (MPV U321) and FY19 (Compact SUV S221 based on highly successfully Ssangyong’s Tivoli). We estimate modest ~2% CAGR in passenger UV volumes for M&M over FY17-19E.
