Our View
We believe new orders & clientele in export markets will continue to drive the growth for SYIL going ahead. In domestic markets, company is taking multiple steps to enhance their presence, though the same is yet to deliver meaningful improvement in performance. However, on the back of lower than expected growth for 9MFY25, we have revised our volume expectations downwards from 12%YoY growth to 7%YoY for FY25E and margins have been revised downwards by 150bps to 18.5%. Going ahead, we expect Revenue/EBITDA/PAT growth of 22%/22%/21% respectively over FY24-FY27E. At CMP, the stock trades at P/E(x) of 19x/16x on FY26E/FY27E EPS of Rs96/110. We have revalued the company at 20x on FY27E EPS, arriving at a target price of Rs2,208 and maintain our BUY rating on the stock.
