What’s the theme?
M&M has been successful in maintaining its dominance in the utility vehicle (UV) segment due to its
extensive product range. This has helped the company maintain profitability at a healthy level despite
increasing raw material costs. A strong rural presence places M&M in an advantageous position with a
forecast of normal monsoon and higher crop prices. Due to this, we expect the tractor segment to grow
11.1% during FY12. Volumes in the automotive segment too are expected to record double-digit growth of
13.2%.
What will move the stock?
1) New product launches in the pickup segment has helped M&M maintain the demand momentum. In the
UV segment, the company expects to launch a new SUV by the year end. 2) Demand for small commercial
vehicles (SCVs), the fastest-growing commercial vehicles (CV) segment, remains strong and M&M has
been successful in garnering 20% market share in the segment in less than 2 years of launch. 3) M&M is
working on turning around its recent acquisition of Ssangyong, Korea. In CY11, M&M targets revenue of
USD3bn from Ssangyong vs.USD2bn in CY10. Two SUVs from the Ssangyong Motors' portfolio (Rexton
and Korando) would be assembled at M&M's Chakan facility. 4) Through its JV with Navistar, M&M continues
to expand its sales network for commercial vehicles 5) Post separation with the JV partner, the passenger
car segment has been gaining strength every month and new launches in H2FY12 would fortify this.
Where are we stacked versus consensus?
We expect EPS of Rs41.6 and Rs47.9 in FY12 and FY13 respectively. Our FY12 earnings estimate is
7.8% lower than consensus estimate of Rs45.2. We value M&M using SOTP at Rs844, discounting the
standalone business at 13x FY13E earnings.
What will challenge our target price?
1) Imposition of additional taxes on diesel powered vehicles or dual pricing for diesel would adversely
impact demand for M&M's products; 2) Global turbulence may delay turnaround at Ssangyong.
