The current market price (CMP) of the Nilkamal on NSE is Rs 2056.60. The 52 week low of the stock is Rs1,692.95 and the 52 week high is Rs 2,940, respectively. Its ROE is 6.93%.

It has given 3.34% negative return in the past 1 week, whereas, in the past 1 month, it has surged by 0.91%. In the past 3 months, it gave 7.79% positive return. However, over the past 1 year, it has given 27.37% negative return. In the past 3 and 5 years, the stock surged and gave positive returns of 67.03% and 33.06%, respectively.

Performance expected to be healthy

The demand environment seems encouraging. Price hikes in material handling would continue as earlier higher input costs were not fully passed on. In the furniture business, however, earlier price hikes have been adequate.

Raw material tailwinds expected by Q4

Volatility in key raw materials such as polyethylene and polypropylene continues. However, prices, which were softer in Jul/Aug, started firming up in Sep. Management expects a favourable pricing scenario from Q4 FY23.

Aims to be a one-stop home-furnishing-solutions provider

Plastic furniture has a small market size, while in non-plastic furniture the opportunity size is significant. Hence, after the Boston Consulting group report on the furniture business revamp, the company is striving to scale up the non-plastic furniture business.

Strengthening its manufacturing, marketing abilities in non-plastic furniture

Capex at Hosur for non-plastic furniture is progressing. On the land acquisition being completed by Dec, the facility is expected to be operational within 6-9 months, ie, Q1/Q2 FY24.

Outlook & Valuation

The demand environment looks encouraging. Input cost tailwinds would provide headroom for margin expansion. Hence, we expect 13% and 54% CAGRs over FY22-24 in revenue and earnings, respectively. "We have a Buy rating on the stock, with an unchanged TP of Rs.2,985, based on 22.5x FY24 earnings," the brokerage said.
