4. Valuation

4. Valuation

According to HDFC Securities, "We maintain SELL on Deepak Nitrite (DNL), with a price target of INR 1,665 (WACC 11.5%, terminal growth 4.5%). The stock is currently trading at 20x FY24E EPS. We believe that (1) high input, utility and logistic costs will continue to put pressure on the company's margin and (2) further growth in DPL is capped as the phenol plant is already running at full capacity. EBITDA/APAT were 26/28% below estimates, owing to substantially higherthan-expected raw material costs and higher-than-expected tax outgo."
