Investment Argument
• High Single digit growth for the whole year expected vs company still guiding of double digit
growth. Kesh King has suffered in Q2 and grew 9% vs 15% in Q1 and hence faced challenges due to
startups and customers trying new oils. They have hired BCG to look for strategy in this segment but
it is a long journey.
• Boroplus expected to give Double digit growth in winter , at least 7-8% if bad winters as well (2% in
2QFY25). Due to delayed winters Q3 should be subdued. Good traction seen in North. (Overall ~45%
Winter portfolio of Emami).
• Quick comm is growing 2x , but GT is the strength for Emami till now. Entering supermarkets etc to
grow GT market. Trying tough to retail rural demand however they need to expand in Quick
commerce to grow in urban. MT and E comm is 26% pprox.. and balance is GT.
• Guidance by Management – Bangladesh market should grow in 3Q , Man Company should grow
3Q , male grooming should grow significantly in 3Q or 4Q + good winter should contribute 2-3%
more. Overall 7-8% should be the growth in 3Q. EBITDA margin should remain in range of 26-28%.
Key Risks
Highly Winter led portfolio (~50%) , any shift in weather conditions can put pressure on
overall performance and margins.
Overall Consumer demand weakness can tamper the growth.
High RM inflation can create pressure on margins.
Revenue/EBITDA/PAT CAGRs of 8/11/12 (%) over FY24–26E. Initiate BUY with a DCF-based revised
TP of INR 680. At target price, the stock is likely to trade at 29x P/E multiple Mar’26E.
