HSBC assigns 'overweight' rating to Dabur India
HSBC has assigned an 'overweight' rating to Dabur India with a price target of Rs 110.
DABUR INDIA
RESEARCH: HSBC
RATING: OVERWEIGHT
CMP: RS 90
HSBC has assigned an 'overweight' rating to Dabur India with a price target of Rs 110. The recent sluggishness in the share price can be attributed to the slowdown in growth for foods from 20%+ earlier to around 15% in the past few quarters. However, since the integration with the consumer care division (CCD) has been completed, and supply chain issues have been sorted out, the foods segment is set to return to 20%+ growth in the next quarter.
This may be the trigger that the market seeks to re-rate the stock. HSBC has valued Dabur at 21x FY10E earnings per share (EPS) of Rs 5.25 to get a target price of Rs 110. Dabur has averaged a 12-month forward price-earnings (P/E) multiple of 24.6x over the past two years with minimum and maximum P/Es of 17.1x and 29.9x, respectively. The stock is currently trading at 21.1x FY09E EPS.
Given its robust business model, which is well-diversified over a large number of segments, with brands targeted at each category of consumers, Dabur is currently trading below its deserved multiple.
