Investment Rationale
Shriram Group announced the long-awaited re-jig of its group structure; while the non-lending subsidiaries (general insurance and life insurance) would be placed outside the merged entity, Shriram City Union Finance (SCUF) and Shriram Capital are slated to be folded into Shriram Transport (SHTF) to form Shriram Finance (the proposed merged entity). At yesterday’s closing price, the share-swap ratio indicates a favourable ratio for SCUF. While the re-jig was inevitable, the brokerage believes the proposed merger is unlikely to generate meaningful revenue or opex benefits, and the super-app strategy entails significant execution risk. Despite the high likelihood of regulatory clearance, the forecasts for FY22-FY23 remain unchanged. It maintains ADD with an unchanged target price of INR1,552.
