Marico Ltd
(BSE Code: 531642) (CMP: Rs.381.50) (FV: Re.1)
Incorporated in 1988, Mumbai based Marico Ltd manufactures and markets consumer products such as coconut oil, hair
oils, refined edible oils, anti-lice treatments, fabric care, functional and other processed foods, hair creams and gels, hair
serums, shampoos, shower gels, hair relaxers and straighteners, deodorants and other related consumer products and
by-products. It markets its products under the following brands: Parachute, Nihar, Saffola, Hair & Care, Revive, Mediker,
Livon, Set-wet, Fiancée, Hair Code, Caivil, Hercules, Black Chic, Code 10, Ingwe, X-men, Thuan Phat, etc. Its distribution
network comprises regional offices, carrying and forwarding agents, redistribution centers and distributors.
The overall demand environment in Q3FY19 was good with market share gains across key portfolios. The positive
sentiment during the quarter was led by festive season and expectations of a stimulus from favourable government
initiatives. The rural segment continues to do well on the back of good demand. Meanwhile, growth in urban areas was
driven by newer channels. During the quarter, Parachute grew healthily while Saffola remained subdued. Its new
portfolios i.e. Premium Hair Nourishment, Male Grooming and Healthy Foods grew in line with expectations. It launched
a couple of new products during the quarter like ‘Hair & Care Dry Fruit Oil’ and ‘Saffola FITTIFY Gourmet’.
Marico’s international business saw decent growth led by portfolio diversification in Bangladesh and enhanced GTM (go-
to-market) initiatives in Vietnam, supported by reasonable growth in MENA (Middle East and North Africa).
Three factors underpin our confidence on Marico’s earning prospects: (a) likely benign raw material environment over
the next 18-24 months (Copra accounts for 40-50% of the material cost); (b) strong performance of Parachute volumes
in recent quarters and healthy growth prospects in the VAHO segment; and (c) good traction being witnessed on new
product development. Crucially, at a time when both sector multiples as well as ability of peers to pass on the emerging
material cost pressures are under question, Marico provides far higher visibility compared to its peers. Moreover, with
over 30% of sales coming from rural (management’s target is 40%) and particularly with its technological edge over
peers, Marico is emerging as an interesting play on rural growth.
Technical Outlook: The Marico share looks good on the daily chart for medium-term investment. It has broken out of
the spike pattern formed on the daily chart. The stock trades near its all-time high and above all important moving
averages like the 200 DMA level on the daily chart.
Start accumulating at this level of Rs.381.5 and on dips to Rs.350 for medium-to-long term investment and a possible
price target of Rs.450+ in the next 12 months.

STOCK PICK
DCM Shriram Ltd
(BSE Code: 523367) (CMP: Rs.351.85) (FV: Rs.2)
By Laxmikant Bhole
Company Overview: DCM Shriram Ltd (DCM) is a leading business conglomerate with a group turnover of ~Rs.7000
crore. It operates through the following business segments: (i) Agri-Rural (Fertilizers, Sugar, Farm Inputs Marketing,
Crop Care Chemicals, Hybrid Seeds); (ii) Chlor-Vinyl (Caustic Soda, Chlorine, Calcium Carbide, PVC resins, PVC
Compounds, Power, Cement); and (iii) Value-Added Products (Fenesta Building Systems - UPVC Windows and Doors). It
has manufacturing facilities for Fertilizers, Chloro Vinyl and Cement in Rajasthan and for Chlor-Alkali in Gujarat. It
operates coal-based captive power facilities in Rajasthan (133 MW) and in Gujarat (115 MW). Its Urea plant has a
production capacity of 3,79,000 TPA and Chlor-Alkali capacity of 4,50,000 TPA. Its Sugar factories at Ajbapur, Rupapur,
Hariawan and Loni in Uttar Pradesh have a combined installed capacity of 33,000 TCD (tonnes crushed daily) and
power-generating capacity of 115 MW. Its Hybrid seed operations (Bioseed), which started in Hyderabad, have a global
footprint with presence in Vietnam, Philippines and Indonesia. Its Fenesta window fabrication units are located in
Mumbai, Hyderabad and Chennai. All its main line locations/products are ISO:9001, ISO:14001 and OHSAS:18001
certified.
DCM is on an expansion spree. It plans to enhance its cane crushing capacity from 33,000 TPD to 38,000 TPD, power
generation capacity from 111 MW to 141 MW and overall distillery capacity from 150 KPD to 350 KPD. Its new power
plant, which is likely to be commissioned in October 2019, will reduce power costs and the additional power and
distillery capacity will provide stability to its sugar business. Its ethanol sales are progressing satisfactorily. In its
Chemical business, it plans to add 332 TPD capacity at its Caustic Soda plants in Kota and Bharuch and 60 TPD capacity
at its Aluminum Chloride plant.
Key Positives:
1. Diversified business model with most segments showing excellent growth
2. Market leader in most of its products
3. Encouraging industry outlook in most of its business segments
Concerns:
1. Higher cane sugar crushing and lower realization for this year
2. Selling prices of caustic soda are firm in line with international prices. However, low prices of Chlorine and currency
appreciation will impact the overall price realization.
3. Currency fluctuations
4. Coal prices are on the rise since a few months, which creates some margin pressure in its chemicals business.
Performance Review: DCM reported an EBIDTA of Rs.660.68 crore in H1FY19 v/s Rs.648.37 crore in H1FY18 with an
EPS of Rs.24. Its Chlor-Vinyl segment constituted 30% / 71% of the total revenue/ PBDIT; sugar business 28% / 13%;
Agri-Input business 32% / 12%; and other businesses 11% / 4%. Its Chlor-Vinyl business reported 25% higher revenue
while its sugar business de-grew 4%. Shriram Farm Solutions (SFS) de-grew 14%, the Bioseeds segment de-grew 5.6%
while the fertilizers segment grew 30.3%.
During Q2FY19, revenue from the Plastics segment dropped by 7% due to lower volumes resulting from a 10-day plant
shut-down. PBIT fell 60% on account of lower volumes, higher input costs and shut-down expenses. Rising input costs
may put margins under pressure going forward.
