MOSL: CONSUMER- ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES-Risk/reward now favors UNSP compared to UBBL

Consumer- Alcoholic Beverages: Risk/reward now favors UNSP compared to UBBL; Upgrading UNSP to Buy, Downgrading UBBL to Neutral

 

  • The Alcoholic Beverages (alcobev) segment in India remains an attractive investment candidate driven by healthy earnings growth and improving ROCEs.
  • Yet, despite these improving metrics, FY19E PAT of USD108m/USD87m for UNSP/UBBL is still low and indicates strong multi-year growth opportunities ahead.
  • While we have historically had a preference for UBBL over UNSP, we believe, a combination of potentially slower earnings growth for UBBL from FY20 onwards compared to the preceding years, potential headwinds to earnings emerging now, and fair valuation after a best-of-breed stock price run-up means that upside is limited from a one-year perspective.
  • On the other hand, UNSP offers stronger earnings growth opportunity compared to UBBL (34% CAGR v/s 20% CAGR over FY19-21), and would consequently have better ROCE expansion compared to UBBL. UNSP trades at a ~10% discount to sector P/E multiples and is at ~25% discount to UBBL’s P/E multiple. Our DCF-based target price of INR700 gives an upside of 25% for UNSP compared to an upside of only 7% for UBBL.
  • We are therefore changing our recommendation for UNSP from Neutral to BUY and on UBBL from BUY to Neutral.
