Indigo Paints share price  hits new low; falls 8% in one week post Q3 results

Shares of Indigo Paints hit a new low of Rs 1,788.80, down 3 per cent in Thursday’s intra-day trade, falling 8 per cent in one week after the company announced its December quarter (Q3FY22) results. In comparison, the S&P BSE Sensex was down 1 per cent during the same period.

In Q3FY22, the company’s earnings before interest tax and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) margin fell 45 bps at 14.57 per cent primarily due to reduction in gross margins, down 670 bps at 42.89 per cent, and higher A&P expenses. However, its revenue was up 26 per cent year-on-year (YoY), profit after tax (PAT) rose 29 per cent YoY and volume grew 16 per cent YoY in emulsions.

In line with the industry, Indigo Paints had also increased the product prices in the December quarter to mitigate the sharp escalation in the price of raw materials. The company expects a very strong boost in top line, gross margins, EBITDA and PAT numbers in the March quarter (Q4FY22).

"The unprecedented escalation of raw material prices across all categories in recent months has been matched with unprecedented price hikes by the industry in Q3FY22. The prices of most of raw materials have stabilized, albeit at higher levels, and in fact are showing slightly downward trend during the last two months. With the price hikes undertaken, the profitability is expected to improve sharply in Q4FY22," Indigo Paints said.

Edelweiss Securities expects the paints industry to sustain its robust revenue trajectory riding sustained rise in urbanisation, growth in popularity of branded paints, shortening repainting cycle and robust pricing power of industry players.

Overall, Indigo is a quality play on India’s consumer discretionary segment anchored by its high innovative quotient. It is backed by a multi-pronged approach of introducing differentiated products to create a distinct market in the paints industry, building brand equity and creating an extensive distribution network, it said.

"We expect the paints industry to sustain its robust revenue and volume trajectory. Meanwhile, the company’s advertisement spend as % of revenue should continue to come off but ahead of peers, which should aid operating margins going ahead," the brokerage said in a company update.

Vedant Fashions makes good debut; lists at 8% premium over issue price

Vedant Fashions, the owner of ethnic wear brand Manyavar, made a good stock market debut on Wednesday, with shares of the company getting listed at Rs 936, an 8 per cent premium over its issue price of Rs 866 per share on the BSE. On the National Stock Exchange (NSE), the stock opened at Rs 935 per share.

"Vedant Fashion debuted on a positive note despite poor subscription figures. The company has strong brand value with good fundamentals. However, valuation is a major concern. Investors should approach it from a long-term perspective, where any dip of 15-20 per cent from the current levels will be a good buying opportunity. Those who applied for listing gain should maintain a stop loss of Rs 890," said Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart.

At 10:15 am, Vedant Fashions traded at Rs 973, 12 per cent higher against its issue price on the BSE. The stock has hit a high of Rs 975 and a low of Rs 926.25 so far. In comparison, the S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty50 indices were 0.16 per cent down.

The Rs 3,150-crore IPO of Kolkata-based Vedant Fashions had received lukewarm response with issue subscribed nearly three times. The institutional investor portion of the IPO saw 7.5 times oversubscription, the wealthy investor portion was subscribed 1.07 times, while the retail portion remained undersubscribed at 40 per cent.

Vedant Fashions is among the top companies in the Indian wedding and celebration wear segment with the brand name Manyavar Mohey. The Indian wedding and celebration wear market is pegged at around Rs 1,020 billion (15-20 per cent branded penetration) while the branded space is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18-20 per cent by FY25. With the company's strong brand franchise, it looks to tap the large and growing Indian wedding and celebration wear market driven by increased spending.

Zomato has a new record low, trades close to issue price of Rs 76

Shares of food delivery company Zomato declined 6 per cent and hit a new low of Rs 77.50 in the intra-day trade on the BSE on Tuesday. The stock was trading close to its issue price of Rs 76, and has dropped 18 per cent in the past 3 days after the company reported sequentially flat revenue growth at Rs 1,112 crore for October-December quarter (Q3FY22).

The market price of the company has plunged 54 per cent from its record high level of Rs 169.10 hit on November 16, 2021. In the past three months, it has slipped 50 per cent as compared to a 7 per cent decline in the S&P BSE Sensex. Zomato had made stock market debut on July 23, 2021.

At 10:38 am, Zomato traded at Rs 77.65, as compared to 0.26 per cent rise in the benchmark index. A combined around 20 million equity shares had changed hands in first 95 minutes of trade on the NSE and BSE.

In Q3FY22, the company's revenue from operations grew by around 9 per cent quarter-on-quarter (QoQ), while the customer delivery charges de-grew by 22 per cent. This was driven by Rs 7.5 per order reduction in customer delivery charges in Q3FY22 as compared to Q2FY22, Zomato said.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (Ebitda) loss reduced to Rs 270 crore in Q3FY22 as compared to Rs 310 crore in the previous quarter (Q2FY22) driven by rationalizing spends across various businesses and functions.

Food delivery gross order value (GOV)/volumes grew a modest around 2 per cent/5 per cent QoQ despite substantial reduction in customer delivery charges and expansion in 180 new cities. This was due to post-Covid reopening and retrenched marketing spends to acquire new customers.

The company believes that the weak QoQ growth in GOV was primarily due to reduction in customer delivery charges, in addition to a soft impact of post-Covid reopening (including some shift from delivery to dining out). Average order value (AOV; which includes customer delivery charges) shrunk by around 3 per cent QoQ, mostly on account of reduction in customer delivery charges.

"Declining contribution with weak growth in GOV, suggests that the growth is getting softer while cost pressures are not moderating. This along with further allocation of Rs 550 crore on minority investments is straining cash-flows and thus resulting in cut in our discounted cash flow (DCF) value," analysts at Dolat Capital said with a "sell" rating on the stock and a target price of Rs 75 per share.

Those at JM Financial Institutional Securities added: While reopen impact may continue in October-December quarter (Q4), we believe the company's investments and the forthcoming IPL tournament could help it regain strong growth momentum.

While Q3 results were a tad disappointing, the brokerage firm expects the company to return to strong growth trajectory once reopen impact subsides. "We remain bullish on the company’s long term growth prospects as it is well-positioned to benefit from robust industry tailwinds such as improving tech penetration and rising income share of digitally native millennials / GenZ," It said.

According to analysts at Edelweiss Securities, Zomato's growth trajectory and profitability appears weaker than anticipated. "We note that valuation of Zomato's global peers have also declined sharply. We will watch out growth trends and execution versus Swiggy," the brokerage firm said.

Adani Wilmar soars 8 per cent post tepid debut

Adani Wilmar debuted on the NSE with a minor loss at Rs 227, down 1.3 per cent when compared with its issue price of Rs 230 per share. The stock, however, soon bounced back and rallied to a high of Rs 249 - a 8 per cent premium to its issue price in early trades.

At 10:05 am; Adani Wilmar traded at Rs 244, 6 per cent higher against its issue price on the NSE and BSE. A combined around 45 million equity shares changed hands on the both the exchanges. In comparison, the S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty50 indices were down 0.05 per cent each.

The Rs 3,600 crore initial public offer (IPO) of Adani Wilmar had received a decent response with the issue subscribed 17.37 times. The qualified institutional buyer (QIB) portion of the IPO was subscribed 5.73 times, high networth individual (HNI) 56 times and retail nearly 4 times. The shareholder category saw 33 times subscription, while employee quota remained undersubscribed at 51 per cent.

Adani Wilmar is the seventh listed company of the Adani Group. The company is a joint venture between the Adani group and Wilmar group, and is India’s leading manufacturer of edible oil under the Fortune brand. Besides oil, the company offers products like wheat flour, rice, pulses, sugar and packaged food.

The proceeds of the public issue will be used to fund capital expenditure, reduce debt and for acquisitions as the company seeks to become India's biggest food and FMCG company.

Most of the brokerages had ‘subscribe’ rating on Adani Wilmar. K R Choksey believes Adani Wilmar’s focus on growth of FMCG and packaged food business and shift to value added products will result in increasing market share and expansion of margins. With the Indian economy recovering strongly from the Covid-19 impact and expected to grow faster to become a $5 trillion economy, places Adani Wilmar in a sweet spot to grow multifold, the brokerage firm said in IPO note.

Adani Wilmar benefits from its parentage, leveraging the in-depth understanding of local markets, extensive experience in domestic trading and advanced logistics network. The company has successfully managed to develop its “Fortune” brand in the edible oil category with leadership position in the last 20 years. The company is one of the few major FMCG players to enjoy pan-India coverage with its huge distribution network comprising 5,566 distributors across 28 states and eight union territories throughout India catering to over 1.6 million retail outlets, ICICI Securities said in a note with ‘unrated’ rating on the company.
