United Spirits: Emerging headwinds; fair valuations – downgrade to Neutral

  • United Spirits (UNSP) has been the second best performer in our Coverage Universe since our upgrade to Buy rating in Jan'21, with the stock price moving up nearly 60% since.
  • The strategic refresh under the new CEO as well as the ongoing strategic review of the Popular portfolio offer scope for sustained double-digit volume-led topline growth as well as sharper margin improvements going forward.
  • However, valuations at 62.3x on a standalone basis leave little room for any upside and while it may appear cheaper than the other discretionary stocks under our coverage, the government-dependent nature of the Alcobev sector with regard to procurement, pricing, distribution, and receivables prevents us from increasing our target multiples for UNSP.
  • We maintain our forecasts and TP and downgrade to Neutral.
