BHEL reported consol net revenue of INR 55bn (+9.6% YoY, -10% JMFe) during 1QFY25. It reported an EBITDA of INR -1.7bn in 1QFY25 vs. INR -1.8bn/ INR 0.6bn in 1QFY24/ JMFe missing estimates due to lower revenue and higher other expenses. Adj. PAT stood at INR - 2.1bn in 1QFY25 vs. INR -2.0bn/INR -0.2bn in 1QFY24/ JMFe. With a growing and executable order book of INR 1350bn, sustained momentum in the tendering of new thermal power projects, and a limited competitive environment, we anticipate the company to gradually regain its growth trajectory starting from 3QFY25. We continue to maintain the BUY rating on the stock with a TP of INR 361 (40x FY26EPS).
* A world of opportunities: The government plans to add 93GW of thermal power projects by FY32 including 27GW under construction projects. Out of remaining 66GW, eight projects (12.8GW) were awarded to BHEL during FY24 and 1QFY25; fourteen projects (18.88GW) are under tendering, and rest are expected in 2 years. The company, during 4QFY24 ConCall guided for 10-12GW of annual ordering during next few years. (Exhibit 3)
* Competition: The Ministry of Power has been encouraging other EPC/equipment players, such as L&T, Thermax, JSW-Toshiba, and GE Power, to participate in tenders. However, BHEL has been the sole bidder in all recent tenders. Despite this, our estimates are based on 70-80% market share for BHEL in the total 66 GW opportunities.
* Orders booked: The company received orders worth INR 95bn (INR 85bn power, INR 9bn industry, INR 1bn exports) during 1QFY25.
