Outlook

We maintain HOLD rating on the stock amid slower-than-anticipated recovery in PV auto volumes globally amid persisting chip shortage We value the combined entity post-merger of erstwhile SAMIL into MSSL at Rs 255/share on SOTP basis. Consequently, our target for individual entities i.e. DWH and new SAMIL (ex-DWH) is at Rs 70/share and Rs 185/share, respectively. Given the high RoCE profile (~40%) and exposure to pure play domestic PV wiring harness segment at DWH, we assign a premium valuation to it at 40x PE on FY23E vs. new SAMIL being valued at ~26x PE on FY23E.
