Higher Interest and tax expenses put pressure on MBL's 4Q PAT
"MBL reported standalone sales of INR 552cr, up 9.2% yoy (below our estimate of INR 623cr). On the operating front, OPM's were ahead of our expectations. MBL reported OPMs of 10.5% ahead of our 7.5% expectations. Reported OPM on yoy basis was up 186bp. Higher interest, and tax expenses led to yoy decline in PAT margins at 2.5% (vs. our 3% estimates). Considering strong market positioning within Roads & Highway vertical and better visibility over the future growth prospects, we maintain BUY rating on the stock with price target of INR 789."
