Today’s top research idea

Voltas: RAC thriving in spite of intense competition;

  • According to Voltas' (VOLT) management, the company is benefiting from the fallout in the US-China trade war. Due to high inventory build-up in China, VOLT was able to avail high discounts, which more than offset the import duty increase.
  • In the room AC business, VOLT has grown by 42% in 1HFY20 v/s industry's secondary sales growth of 33%. We have built in 13.8% growth in the UCP segment for 2HFY20, led by (a) our expectation of inventory build-up at dealer level going into the summer season, and (b) the favourable base for the next two quarters.
  • In the EMP business, VOLT expects strong order wins in 3QFY20 from the water segment and metro/airports. Working capital continues to be stretched but has eased compared to three months ago.

We value VOLT on an SOTP basis with a target price of INR785 (UCP business at 35x Sep'21E EPS; EMP and Engineered Products business at 15x Sep'21E EPS). Maintain Buy.
