Should you buy Adani Wilmar shares?
Brokerage given the company's competitive advantage and its strength areas is cited as a good buy. In the view of Edelweiss, "All in all, we are enthused by the strong growth visibility. However, in our SoTP based valuation, higher margin volatility ushers us to value the company at a discount to the consumer staples companies in our coverage. The return ratio profile is decent, albeit lower than the sector average," the domestic brokerage and research firm Edelweiss added.
The brokerage expects the edible oil and packaged food industry to sustain its strong growth trajectory, given the increasing penetration of branded companies, growth of the enduser industries and the growing export market.
