Our view
Apar Industries Ltd (APR) reported highest-ever quarterly revenue, EBITDA and PAT, led by growth across Conductors segment (up 41% YoY), Transformers & Specialty Oils (up 27% YoY) and Cables (up 38% YoY). Conductors revenue growth was largely driven by improved share of higher value products and exports. Margins expanded by 460bps YoY owing to higher gross margins and operating leverage benefits. Going forward management expects strong traction in India on the back of robust power demand, power capacity addition, railway infra spending and private capex recovery. On the international front, markets such as USA, Europe, Australia, etc. are expected to witness robust demand as well.
We like the company given its global leadership position, robust prospects of valueadded products, strong positioning across product categories and consistent dividend pay-out. At CMP, the stock is trading at a P/E of 13.9x/10.6x and EV/EBITDA of 7.7x/5.9x for FY24E/25E. We upgrade our FY24/25 earnings estimates factoring in a) higher share of exports and b) rising premiumization within domestic market. We maintain our ADD rating with an upward-revised TP of Rs3,451.
