Prabhudas Lilladher's research report on Siemens
We recently attended Siemens India’s (SIEM) analyst meet where management highlighted that India is a core focus for the parent, Siemens AG, given it is their fastest growing market. Strong economic indicators, stable inflation & interest rates and softening commodity prices augur well for a healthy capex environment in the country. Robust public capex on infrastructure (with 70-80% of the budgeted outlays being implemented) will be augmented by a take-off in private capex, which will fully kick-in when capacity utilization reaches 80-85% (vs 75-80% currently and 52-53% precovid). PLI schemes further benefit the company by enabling customers to incur additional capex. Key opportunities lie in areas of digitalization & automation, cybersecurity, data centers, railways, renewable energy, power transmission & distribution. We remain positive on SIEM from a long-term perspective given 1) its strong and diversified presence across industries through focus on electrification, digitalization & automation, 2) product localization, 3) strong balance sheet, 4) healthy public & private capex and 5) focus on cost efficiencies.
