OUTLOOK AND VALUATION
Nesco holds a 60+ acres land parcel in Goregaon, Mumbai and is engaged in real estate businesses through its IT Parks and Exhibition Centers which it lets out and generates robust cash-flows. The company reinvests these cash-flows to expand its leasable space portfolio. The company is slated to invest Rs.1,800-2,000 cr over the next few years to construct a new IT park alongwith a five-star hotel. Importantly, the company follows a policy of no debt and is going to fund the entire project through existing investments and internal accruals. During our previous result update, we had revised our top-line estimate for FY23 downwards to factor in persistent challenges being faced by the Bombay Exhibition Centre. Going forward, we expect the company to deliver an EPS of Rs.34.5 in FY23; maintaining a target multiple of 20x we arrive at our target price of Rs.690 showcasing an upside potential of 20% from current levels with an investment horizon of 12-18 months. Thus, we maintain our BUY rating for the stock.
