Prabhudas Lilladher's research report on Bharat Electronics
Bharat Electronics (BEL) reported a strong quarter higher than our and street estimates. Revenues came in at Rs16.9bn led by strong execution in Ventilators, part supply of Long Range Surface to Air Missile System, Spares & Services, Smart City, Intelligence gathering system, Thermal Imaging Cameras and Radars repairs. Gross margins expanded by 100bps led by better product mix and lower input expenses. Order Inflows grew by 72% YoY mainly comprising of ventilators(~Rs13bn), advance torpedo defense systems (~Rs8bn) and smart city projects (~Rs4bn). Currently order book stands at Rs538bn (up 4% YoY), of which ~90% belongs to defense related products while balance 10% is contributed by homeland and smart city. Given strong 1Q performance, management maintained its 8-10% revenue guidance for FY21E with stable gross margins in 43-45% range. We see a short term impact on execution due to pandemic and a medium term impact on OI’s due to deferment of few orders.
Outlook
Thus, we expect flattish revenue growth with revenue and PAT at Rs130bn/Rs142bn and Rs15bn/18.5bn for FY21E/22E respectively. The stock is currently trading at 16.2x/13.9x FY21E/ 22E. We maintain Hold rating with a revised TP of Rs99.
