Sharekhan's research report on Blue Star
Our interaction with multi-brand consumer electronics outlets indicate strong pent-up demand for air-conditioners (ACs) post the pandemic in Q4FY22 (particularly March) and Q1FY23. Further, soaring temperatures across India and introduction of new energy-efficient models with attractive features would help ease the impact of a 7-8% hike in prices (across brands). Blue Star would continue to outpace the industry by market share gains, backward integration, deeper penetration (launch of affordable mass-premium products) and expansion of distribution network through conventional and e-Commerce channels. The company has low debt, shorter working capital cycle and healthy operating cash flows. We expect Revenue/PAT to clock a CAGR of 23%/43% over FY21-24E. At CMP, the stock trades at ~32xFY24E EPS.
Outlook
We maintain a Buy on the stock with an unchanged PT of Rs.1,200, given that a harsh summer would brighten prospects for its AC business, healthy growth in project business and commencement of new manufacturing facilities.
