Valuation & Outlook

We expect sales, adjusted PAT to grow at 8%, 36.2% CAGR, respectively, in FY20-23E. Continued demand traction for tractor segment along with ongoing focus on responsible capital allocation helps us maintain our constructive stance on M&M. Accordingly, we retain our BUY rating on M&M, valuing it at Rs. 760/share on SOTP basis (7.5x FY22E EV/EBITDA for base business; 30% holding company discount to its investments).
