Result Synopsis
AMBER delivered significant beat to ours and consensus estimates, with revenue and EBITDA surpassing estimates by 26% and 46% respectively. Consumer durables and Electronics division has registered growth of 67% and 95% respectively on yoy basis, with margin improvement of 250bps and 290bps respectively on yoy basis. Strong revenue growth in consumer durables was on back of channel filling, addition of new customer from gas charging to ODM. On the electronics side consolidation of Ascent circuit has aided in strong growth. Management expects RAC industry to grow at 25-30% in FY25, while Amber growth has been far superior as company has been able to add new customers and increased wallet share from its existing customers. On the electronics side, considering strong performance in 9M and with orders in hand management has raised its FY25 revenue guidance to 55% vs 45% earlier. Management is confident of strong revenue growth in medium term on huge import substitution opportunities and expectation of the new incentive scheme from the government. The company has inked JV with Korea circuits which will further enhance its capabilities and enable company to make inroads into mobile, IT module and semiconductor industry. On the railways and mobility management expects current downtrend to be transient and is maintaining its guidance of doubling its revenue in next 3 years. We remain positive on the EMS space as we believe EMS space will provide huge growth opportunity in medium term given the import substitution. Considering Amber operating in the attractive space and prospects of strong performance we upgrade the stock to ADD with PT of Rs7800 valuing it at 45x FY27 EPS.
We believe AMBER’s focus on enhancing its capabilities on the components side, its JV with Korea circuits will bode well for the company. Further, Asccent circuit will result in increased PCBA manufacturing for the electronics universe. We now estimate Amber’s Revenue/EBITDA/PAT to grow at 26%/31%/61% CAGR over FY24-27E.
