Investment Rationale

“ARTO’s Q1 were ahead of our expectations driven by strong pricing. Going ahead, we expect it to sustain volume growth led by multi-year supply contracts and expansions but the margin could move in a narrow range due to elevated input/energy/logistic cost in the near future. Nonetheless, we estimate 23% EPS CAGR for FY22-24 and expect enhanced earnings momentum beyond FY24 led by more value-added new products. We maintain BUY with unchanged TP of Rs 1000 i.e 20x FY24 EV/EBITDA. We also believe the pharma demerger could unlock incremental value over the mid-term,” Phillip Capital said.
