Result Synopsis

AMBER’s Q1FY25 performance was in line with slight miss on the margin. Strong revenue growth was on back of favorable summer demand, while strategy of increasing mix of components resulted in EBITDA margin expansion. Expansion of product portfolio like Tower Air conditioners, Window Top Throw Inverter Series, Tropical high efficiency split air conditioners and Cassette Air Conditioners led to growth in RAC. On the electronics side diversification into new business of defense, aerospace Auto and consumer electronics has resulted in strong growth. Considering strong growth prospects and current order-book management has increased the revenue growth guidance upwards in the electronics division from 35% to 45%. Management is confident of strong revenue growth in medium term on huge import substitution opportunities and expectation of the component PLI scheme from the government. Our FY25 and FY26 revenue estimates have been upgraded by 2.3% and 4.7% respectively, with EBITDA estimates increasing in the similar proportion. We upgrade the stock to ADD with PT of Rs4,908 valuing it at 42X FY26 EPS. There are multiple levers for the growth and company has made significant investments in components and Railways which will drive future growth.

We believe AMBER’s focus on enhancing its capabilities on the components side, its JV with Titagarh wagons for railways will bode well for the company. Further, acquisition of Asccent circuit will result in increased PCBA manufacturing for the electronics universe. We now estimate Amber’s Revenue/EBITDA/PAT to grow at 25%/32%/68% CAGR over FY24-26E
