Emkay Global Financial's research report on Vardhman Textiles
For Q4FY23, Vardhman reported 6% QoQ sales growth, owing to better utilization. EBITDAM came in at ~11%, leading to 66% QoQ growth in PAT (down 53% YoY). Sales during the quarter witnessed an uptick, while normalized margin still remains elusive as India cotton is at a 10-15% premium to international cotton. Management stated that demand from China is growing. Given low cotton-yarn spread, management presently has refrained from any near-term capacity addition (this year, 1lakh spindles have already been added), though the same will be relooked if margin improves.
Outlook
We maintain our BUY rating on the stock with an unchanged TP of Rs440. During the last two years, the company has registered extreme margins (high of 28% and low of 7%); though in a normalized scenario, 16-20% is realistic.
