    Investment Rationale
    Finolex Industries (Finolex) has reported much lower than expected operational performance with EBIT/kg in its PVC pipe segment at Rs5.9 (-24.3% YoY / -50.6% QoQ) due to inventory losses with volume growth of 28.9% YoY (-8.5% QoQ) on a low base. PVC resin segment’s EBIT/kg declined to Rs11.6 (-63.0% YoY, -41.2% QoQ) due to lower spreads with volume increase of 24.9% YoY (-20.8% QoQ), resulting in consolidated EBIT declining 44.8% YoY. Management stated profitability of the resin segment may remain low as PVC prices continue to fall in Q2 and the company is saddled with high-cost inventory. PVC pipe demand is expected to improve in H2FY23 post raw material price stability. We cut our FY23E/FY24E PAT estimates by 14%/5% factoring-in the lower profitability of PVC resin/pipe segments. The brokerage maintains BUY with a revised SoTP-based target price of Rs173 (earlier: Rs181) due to strong balance sheet and inexpensive valuations.
