Investment Rationale
DBL received INR 1.2bn on transfer of balance 51% stake in three HAM projects to Cube Highways. We have recalibrated our EPS estimates lower to factor in weak margins in legacy OB and higher impact of commodity inflation in non-NHAI order backlog, where inflation pass-through is not commensurate with the actual inflation. The brokerage maintains BUY with reduced SOTP- based TP of INR 369/sh (12x Mar-24E EPS, 0.8x P/BV HAM equity investment).
