INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

MACROECONOMIC OVERVIEW OF THE INDIAN ECONOMY

According to CRISIL Research, the world economy witnessed a strong cyclical recovery in 2017, and was also balanced, with investment, consumption and trade contributing to momentum. India did not benefit much from this because of domestic headwinds, such as demonetization and glitches in the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST).
According to CRISIL Research, FY 2018 should be a better year for India, both in terms of global growth and the country’s ability to benefit from the GST, given that the effect of demonetization has almost faded and the GST bottlenecks are being ironed out. This, together with a weak base of the current FY and a step-up in world GDP growth, is expected to lift India’s GDP growth by 6.5% in FY 2018.

GLOBAL PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT COMMERCIAL VEHICLE MARKET

Over the past ten years, Yole notes that the market breakdown has changed significantly. According to Yole, global PC and LCV sales reached 90 million units in 2016 (representing 95.5% of total vehicle sales (which also includes heavy trucks and buses)), compared to 64 million units in 2006. The global passenger vehicle market volume grew at a CAGR2006-2016 of 3.4%. It grew at a CAGR2011-2016 of 3.8%, and expects such volume to grow at a CAGR2016-2021 of 2.0%. Yole notes that in 2006, Europe was the largest market for total vehicles sales with 33% of sales, North America the second largest market with 27% of sales, and China the third largest market with 11% of sales. However, Yole notes that in 2016, the more developed automotive markets such as Europe and North America are now reaching saturation, with lower growth rates year-on-year. In 2016, Europe and North America each represented a market share of 22% of the global PC and LCV sales, whereas China exhibited a CAGR2006- 2016 of 15% to become the largest automotive market representing 31% of global PC and LCV sales.

Other than China, Yole notes that other emerging markets (mainly situated in Asia) also have high growth potential. As an example, India is a market which grew at a CAGR2006-2016 of 7.9%.

ANALYSIS & SUBSCRIPTION SUGGESTIONS BY AUTHOR

Fellas what else you want. A stock which is cheapest among its already listed peers with highest EPS and NAV.

Well we have plenty of reasons to go for it. Let us see the detailed analysis in it:

  1. Valuations: As it is Valued @28.95x PE @ upper price band which seems to an eye catcher for us as the the Industy Composite PE roughly comes to 42.60(Approx.) whch makes it fancy.

  2. Peers Comparison: Another reason which makes it fancy as its already listed peers are trading @40-45 PE range which are nearly fully priced and it has 29(Approx.) PE, not just this it has highest EPS, highest NAV and still the cheapest.

  3. EPS: Although company has declined its Net Earnings Available to Equity holders but still it have highest EPS among listed peers but this point shall be kept as alarming.

  4. RoNW: Although we have been fascinated about the other ratio’s in comparision to listed peers RoNW somehow has been consistently declined and is lowest among the peers @15.93%

Although we have pointed out many points above but still lot of points left in this. We have plus as well negative points as well but one thing we cannot leave in this that the company has the lowest PE among its peers because of which we are giving it “SUBSCRIBE” call but from the medium to long term view although this may fetch listing gains as well but those may remain average 15-18%(Approx.) (Listings gains may differ if received good subsciotions)*
