Valuation & Outlook
For MSIL, we build PAT CAGR of 26.8% in FY21P-23E. We retain our cautious stance on the company courtesy further strain on margins and lost ground in UVs - with present valuations continuing to be far above our comfort zone (trades at 29x P/E on FY23E). We continue to await decisive actions from MSIL on the EV front, retain REDUCE and value it at Rs. 6,080 i.e. 27x P/E (1x PEG) on FY23E EPS of ₹ 225/share (earlier target price Rs. 7,000).
