Investment Rationale
Nuvoco Vistas Corporation (NUVOCO), led by Dr. Karsanbhai Patel Nirma group, has emerged as the fifth largest cement group in India and is amongst top-3 in East region with 23.8mnte capacity (as of Sep’21), post 8.3mnte acquisition of NU Vista (earlier Emami Cement) in Jul’20. The brokerage believes cost synergies from the said acquisition, improved cost efficiencies, higher premiumisation coupled with scale benefits and operating leverage may drive ~30% (Rs265/te) blended EBITDA/te rise to Rs1,180/te over FY21-FY24E. Valuation at 8.6xFY24E EV/E or US$125/te adequately factors concerns around higher East region concentration, higher leverage and lower profitability vs peers. As NUVOCO narrows its EBITDA/te gap vs peers, valuation gap may shrink. It initiates coverage on the stock with a BUY rating and target price of Rs645/share (11x Sep’23E EV/E). Key risks: lower demand / prices, and high concentration (~70%) in East region.
