Target Price and Valuation: We value BEL at | 290 i.e. 24x P/E on FY24E EPS.
Key triggers for future price performance:
* Strategy to diversify into non-defence areas, focus on increasing exports and services share would aid long term growth and help de-risk its business
* Strong order pipeline in FY23-24E
* We expect revenue, EBITDA to grow at a CAGR of ~16.8%, 14.4%, respectively, in FY22-FY24E aided by sustained margins in range of 20-22%
* Strong balance sheet, double digit returns ratios
Alternate Stock Idea: We also like Larsen & Toubro in our coverage.
* Focus on monetisation of non-core assets, enhancing RoEs and reducing debt make it an attractive bet to ride the infrastructure revival theme
* BUY with target price of | 1930
