Q3FY22 results according to ICICI Direct

  • Vardhman Textiles reported a strong operational performance for Q3FY22 with all-time high revenues. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin performance in Q3FY22 was strong amid enhanced demand in the yarn segment.

  • Gross margin improvement of 405 bps YoY to 52.4% (QoQ decline of 350 bps on an exceptionally high base owing to use of low cost inventory) and operating leverage led to EBITDA margin expansion of 800 bps YoY to 23.8%. EBITDA was higher by 124% YoY at Rs 619 crore.
  • Consequently, profit after tax (PAT) grew 145% YoY to Rs 429 crore.

Key triggers for future price performance as per the brokerage

  • Global retailers are looking at de-risking their supply chains and VTL is expected to be a beneficiary in the yarn and fabric segment.

The brokerage has claimed that "Axis Bank's share price has given ~10% return in the past one year. This was post some correction in past few months. We believe its healthy capitalisation and provision buffer would aid smooth earnings traction. We retain our BUY rating on the stock. We value Axis Bank at ~2.1x FY24E ABV and maintain our target price at Rs 970."
