MOSL: POWER GRID (Buy)-In line-Telecom and consultancy aids growth

Power Grid: In line; Telecom and consultancy aids growth

(PWGR IN, Mkt Cap USD14.3b, CMP INR194, TP INR244, 26% Upside, Buy)

 2QFY20 Adj. standalone (S/A) PAT was up 7% YoY at INR25.3b (in-line), led by higher growth in Consultancy/Telecom business. However, it was offset by lower-than-expected profitability of the Transmission segment. Capitalization stood at INR42.7b (v/s INR21.9b in 2QFY19). Capex stood at INR36b.

  • Implied transmission segment PAT grew ~6% YoY, lower than regulated equity growth estimated at ~11% YoY.
  • Consultancy EBIT rose 62% YoY to INR0.97b. EBIT for the Telecom segment was up 46% YoY at INR1.1b.
  • Revenue continued to bear an impact of ~INR250m given the non-recognition of tariff from one private generator project. Change in adjustment for DTA would have also led to some tax leak, in our view.
