Our view:
L&T has reported healthy operational performance despite COVID‐19 situation. The Core EBITDA margins stood at 12.8%, up 60 bps yoy driven by healthy execution in Q4. The management is confident of achieving the stable margin of 10‐ 10.5% for FY22 while order inflow to grow at low to mid‐teens. Segments like hydrocarbon, defence, and water segment are growing well in India. Further, the Infrastructure segment should benefit from the higher infra allocation in the budget.
We believe that the diversified orderbook, strong execution capabilities across geographies, competent workforce, thrust on technology along with international presence and proven track record works in favor of the company. We remain optimistic over the medium to long term growth. We maintain our BUY rating on the stock for revised target price of Rs.1,643 (based on SOTP valuation). We value the core business at 13x EV/EBITDA and listed subsidiaries at current market value adjusted for holding company discount.
