We remain positive on the stock as we believe long term opportunities remain impressive given capacity expansion by tyre players in global and domestic markets. However, we envisage near term pain led by demand slowdown in India as well as China. We believe with automotive sector revival, phase 2 commissioning by the company coupled with improving capacity utilization in existing facilities, growth to come in FY21E.

Nocil with capacities doubling by H2FY20 is well poised to benefit from tight demand-supply situation in global rubber chemicals market. Reiterate BUY with a PT of Rs199 based on 15x PER FY21E or 8x EV/EBIDTA FY21E.
We expect lower realisations for FY20-21E given benign raw material prices. However, we expect EBIDTA margin to improve to 25% in FY21E led by demand revival and operating leverage. Outlook for rubber chemicals remain bright over medium term given global tyre capex of USD8bn and high capacity utilization of >80%. Reiterate BUY on Nocil with a PT of Rs199 (15x PER FY21E; Rs 221 earlier).
We cut our FY20/21E earnings estimates by ~11-12% to factor weakness in global tyre market as we moderate our volume and realisation assumptions. However, with capacities doubling by H2FY20 Nocil is well poised to benefit from tight demand-supply situation in global rubber chemicals market. High global tyre capex along with increased domestic capex augurs well for Nocil, even though near term weakness in domestic and China auto sales (Q1CY19 auto sales were down 13.7%Y/Y) will be a drag. Reiterate BUY with a revised PT of Rs221 (Rs252 earlier) based on 15x PER FY21E or 8x EV/EBIDTA FY21E.
Our recent plant visit to Nocil at Dahej reinforced our conviction on a strong growth outlook, notwithstanding near term demand dip due to weak auto sales. Company’s strong focus on R&D has developed innovative process technologies patented in US, EU and India which has reduced plant operating costs. Demand outlook for rubber chemicals remains strong given ~85% utilization, disruptions in China, and Global and domestic Tyre capex of USD10bn and Rs 250bn over the next few years. Nocil is well placed to capitalize on this demand as completion of Phase 2 expansion will double its capacity (1,10,000 tons by October 2019, ~10% of global capacity) as global Tyre players are eyeing more non-Chinese supplies. Nocil is confident of maintaining 25% EBIDTA margins in the medium term despite removal of duty protection. Retain Buy with PT of Rs252 based on 15x FY21E PER.
