Investment Rationale
The brokerage said that after significant underperformance, valuations at 16x FY22E EPS provide comfort, as the cigarette business’ valuation at ~11x is similar to global peers despite the higher growth outlook.The increase in FMCG forecasts lead to ~3% rise in our earnings estimates for ITC. The brokerage has increased ITC’s TP to Rs 255, valuing it at 18x Sept-22E EPS. Faster recovery in cigarettes, along with market share gains and strong improvement in FMCG profitability, can provide room for further re-rating.
