Investment Rationale
Siemens India Ltd (SIL) delivered healthy standalone Q4FY24 revenue/EBITDA/APAT of Rs 59.74/8.5/7.7 billion, beating our estimates by 0.1/2.7/11.5%. EBITDA margin was 14.2%(+243.3bps/+139.3bps YoY/QoQ) vs.our estimate of 13.8%. SIL received new orders worth Rs 61.6 billion (+37/-1.3% YoY/QoQ), which is strong, considering the slowdown in bid/order process amid election season. Robust order booking was on the back of strong wins in the smart infrastructure, mobility and energy segments whilst Digital industries continued to experience normalisation in demand. SIL has earlier approved the demerger of its energy segment into a separate entity which is expected to be listed by H2CY25. SIL is increasing its capex for Power Transformer factory at Kalwa (announced in November 2023) by Rs 1 billion, resulting in the total capex of Rs 4.6 billion. Given the strength in order inflows and robust order backlog, HDFC Securities maintains a BUY rating, with an increased target price of Rs 8,114 (rolled over to 65x Dec-26 EPS).
