Bajaj Auto
Expect 15% volume growth in FY12
􀂃 We expect motorcycle industry to grow 14% in FY12 and expect Bajaj Auto to
mirror industry growth.
􀂃 Expect steady 15% growth in exports volumes in FY12 on increasing market share
in newer geographies (Africa, Latin America) and industry-level growth in Asian
markets such as Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Indonesia.
􀂃 Opening up of permits in Maharashtra and Karnataka will boost domestic 3W
volumes.
Margin concern overdone
􀂃 We do not subscribe to the Street’s view that domestic motorcycle margins will
contract significantly.
􀂃 Recent price increase fully accounts for input cost pressures.
􀂃 We build in 100bp EBITDA margin decline in FY12, although we are projecting
17% earnings growth.
Stock attractively priced; volume uptick would be the catalyst
􀂃 Stock has come off 25% from its peak of INR1665 and is now trading at 11.5x our
FY12 EPS of INR109.
􀂃 Uptick in monthly volumes following the seasonally weak December quarter should
drive up stock price.
