MOSL: AUTOMOBILES 1QFY20 PREVIEW-Demand weakens further across segments; OEM margins to contract sequentially for fourth straight quarter

Automobiles 1QFY20 Preview: Demand weakens further across segments; OEM margins to contract sequentially for fourth straight quarter, hit four-year low

 

  • All auto segments continued facing demand headwinds in 1QFY20 - a trend that has worsened from the previous quarter. A high base, liquidity issues and slowdown amidst elections led to further weakness in volumes.
  • EBITDA margin for our OEM (ex-JLR) universe is likely to contract for the fourth consecutive quarter by 310bp YoY (-70bp QoQ) to 10.7% due to higher variable marketing expenses and operating deleverage. While almost all OEMs are likely to witness YoY margin contraction, MM and TVSL are expected to deliver a sequential margin recovery of 80bp and 20bp, respectively.
  • We have lowered our FY20/21 EPS estimates for all companies under coverage, with the highest FY20 EPS cut for AL (~18%), CEAT (~17%), MSIL (~13.5%) and MM (~12%). The least EPS cut is for BJAUT (~3%), TTMT (~4%), MCIE (~4%) and EXID (~5%).
