3. Steady Performance; Set To Strengthen

MM's Q2FY23 net sales stood at Rs 208.4bn (+6% QoQ, +57% YoY) as net blended realisation per vehicle (NRPV) rose to Rs 763k (+6% QoQ, +9% YoY). Blended volumes (automotive plus farm equipment) were flat sequentially. Flat raw material cost-to-sales kept gross margin intact QoQ at 23.5% while EBITDA margin was muted at 12% (flat QoQ). EBITDA grew just 7% QoQ (50% YoY) to Rs 25bn, whereas reported PAT increased 60% QoQ (and 39% YoY) to Rs 23.4bn on higher other income due to dividend inflows normally received in Q2.

4. Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd Valuation

According to the analyst, "We estimate a 21% revenue CAGR for MM over FY22-FY25. Margin headwinds are likely to recede with better raw material availability, moderating costs, price hikes and optimal utilisation. Our EBITDA/PAT CAGR estimates thus stand at 26%/24% over FY22-FY25, with EBITDA margin assumptions of 13-14% in FY24/FY25. We assume coverage with BUY for an SOTP-based TP of Rs 1,496, valuing the core business at 18x FY24E EPS (at par with its long-term average) and assigning a 30% holding company discount to subsidiaries (Rs 282/sh). New launches in the high-end segment and in EVs as well as export revival represent key rerating triggers."
