2 Auto Stocks For Gains of 20% And 27% Recommended By Top Brokerage

Broking firm Emkay Global has suggested buying the stock of Minda Industries and Maruti Suzuki for gains of 27% and 20% respectively.

Minda Industries

The brokerage has a target of Rs 840, as against the current market price of Rs 694, thus implying an upside of 20%. Minda Industries is the largest domestic supplier of Switches, Horns, Alloy wheels, Seating and Blow-molding. Further, it is the 2nd largest supplier of Airbags, Air filters, Speakers & Telematics, and the 3rd largest provider in Lightings segment. "We expect Minda to deliver overall revenue CAGR of 22% over FY22-24E. In Switches (28% of revenues in FY21), it should benefit from higher CPV due to the shift to premium models and import substitution. It has outpaced industry volume growth by 11pps in past 5-yrs, and we expect 4pps outperformance over FY22-24E," the brokerage has said. "Our Sep'22E target price of Rs 840 is DCF-driven and implies forward P/E of 32x. Minda deserves to trade at premium valuations, given its exposure to the PV segment, long term upside from electrical vehicle adoption and a sustainable upward re-set in return ratios," the brokerage has said.

Maruti Suzuki

Emkay global sees a 27% upside on the stock of Maruti and has a target of Rs 8,600 on the stock in a year's time. "We continue to believe that the industry will see an upcycle in the next 2-3 years, driven by improving macros, pick-up in replacement demand, positive rural sentiments and low interest rates. We expect Maruti to record a 20% CAGR during FY22-24E," the brokerage has said.

According to the brokerage Maruti Suzuki is likely to initiate an aggressive model action plan in the next two years to fill up the white-spaces like compact SUVs (above 4m), mid-size SUVs/MPVs and xEVs. Upcoming product launches are likely to include new generation Brezza, above-4m SUV, Jimny off-roader, MPV and strong hybrids. Maruti is collaborating with Toyota on products such as above-4m SUV, MPV and strong hybrids.

We reduce FY22/23 volume growth estimates by 15%/7% but retain the FY24 forecast. Following the revision, we expect revenue/earnings CAGR of 24%/61% over FY22-24E. We lower our Sep'22 target price to Rs 8,600 (Rs 9,000 earlier), based on 28x core P/E and net cash/share of Rs 1,541," the brokerage has said.
