Outlook
We arrive at a 1-year forward TP of INR 425/share for MTLM. We value MTLM on our PEG ratio-based framework – we assign a PEG ratio of 1x on FY25–28E core EPS growth of 42%, which we believe is a conservative multiple. This valuation framework gives us the flexibility to assign a commensurate valuation multiple based on quantifiable earnings growth. We did a sanity check of our PEG ratio-based TP using implied EV/EBITDA, P/BV and P/E multiple. On our TP of INR 425, FY28E implied EVEBITDA/PB/PE (x) is 15.8x/4.8x/26.0x, which is reasonable in our view.
