ITC limited reported healthy Q3FY20 numbers. Total income grew by over 6% YoY while net profit registered growth a tad over 29%. Bottom line growth was primarily on account of lower taxes as the company availed new tax structure. Blended realization for cigarettes grew by 5.29% which accounts for around 40% of top line while; its contribution to segmental revenue was 82%, clocking 6.40% YoY growth. Agri-business revenue was up 10.43% YoY while it’s segmental revenue contribution rose 16.77% YoY. Paperboards, Paper & Packaging Segment Revenue witnessed muted growth on a relatively firm base due to slowdown in the FMCG and liquor industry and depressed realisations on softening of global pulp prices. Hotels segment’s revenue was up 22.2% and EBITDA 40.1% YoY, driven by strong growth in existing properties and robust performance of new properties. Overall, it was a operationally strong performance by ITC amidst continued slowdown in FMCG industry.
Recommendation: Accumulate
We had initiated buy recommendation on ITC at Rs. 242 for a target price per share of Rs. 310, valuing the company at PER of 23x on FY21e, which is a 15% discount to its normal forward PE multiples per share. Valuation has become attractive, after the recent price correction of around 22% from peak levels. A high dividend pay-out ratio is translating into a dividend yield of around 2.37%, which makes it appealing in the present market scenario. We recommend buy on ITC.
