We expect gradual recovery in consumer demand with increased currency circulation, good agricultural growth and implementation of 7th pay commission recommendations. Seasonal factors weigh a lot, especially in case of Emami. We continue to remain positive on Emami on the back of its strong brands, pricing power and market leadership in all its flagship brands. With earnings being revised downwards by 7%, we estimate the company to post revenues of Rs29.3bn and Rs33.8bn and net profit of Rs4.3bn and Rs5.5bn in FY17E and FY18E respectively. We maintain our BUY rating on the stock with revised target price of Rs1211, based on 33x Dec'18 EPS.
