Snapshot from investor presentation Q1 FY23
The company is valued at Rs 1,403 Cr and trades at a trailing 23.2x PE with an ROE of 15%. The operating margins improved by 100bps to 31% in the past quarter amidst global inflationary cues. They have consistently maintained margins of over 30% since 2015.
The company continues to operate in a high-growth industry with mega order wins from Continental, Marelli, Stellantis, and Whirlpool in the last quarter. They have recently expanded their output in chrome-plating to meet higher demand and have entered two new economies of Argentina & Ohio, USA.
In the high-growth business, the company is debt free which keeps it from bankruptcy risk. Like very few companies they have proved their ability to create inorganic value by acquisitions in the past and we believe that is one of the fastest ways to grow if a company can successfully execute & assess synergies
Revenue breakup of the company shows 43.3% of their revenues from 2- wheelers which remain to be a significant part of the Indian auto industry while being a key sector where premiumization is trending
