Brokerage views of Polycab India: Nuvama Institutional Equities

Polycab India's consolidated revenues grew by 26 per cent Y-o-Y (6-year CAGR 20 per cent), beating consensus
estimates by 2 per cent/5 per cent, respectively. Growth was on the back of robust performance in W&C business, supported by healthy growth momentum in FMEG, Nuvama said in a note.
 
The brokerage has maintained a 'Buy' rating on the stock with a target price (TP) of ₹7,950. It expected other cable and wire companies to post strong earnings for Q1, partially aided by a low base.

According to analysts, Polycab India's Q1 performance was a beat on all fronts. While 33 per cent Y-o-Y growth in the C&W business was a key highlight, the FMEG portfolio also reported steady growth and improved profitability. The C&W business benefited from increased government expenditure and rising commodity prices, while the FMEG business maintained its growth momentum owing to demand from real estate, the brokerage said in a note.
 
Another key highlight was the ramp-up in the high-margin export business, which grew 24 per cent YoY. "While Q1 was a very strong quarter for Polycab, we await more clarity on the sustainability of this performance and the way forward," it added.
 
JM Financial has maintained a 'Buy' with a target price of ₹7,900 set at 42x June 27E EPS.
