Fundamental View

PNC Infratech has established itself as a strong executor in roads, water infra and airport runway segments. Additionally, superior execution capabilities via ownership of modern equipment and in-house teams enables it to deliver projects on-time. PNC has executed 70 major infrastructure projects till date. It reported 19.8% revenue CAGR in FY16-21. Operating margin was in the range of 13-15%. The company has exhibited proficient execution and robust return ratios (RoCE: ~20%)

PNC remains one of our preferred pick given its robust order book, healthy return ratios and lean balance sheet. Irrespective of its asset monetisation plan fructification (it is looking to monetise its BOT/HAM assets and expects some development by year end), sufficient internal accruals from current order book and current cash is enough for equity infusion
