SENSEX Index Rebalance: And That's a Googly

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) has released FY 2023-24 numbers that were slightly above expectations. The company's strong revenue and EBITDA growth (of 28% and 24% y-o-y, respectively) exceeded management’s guidance, supported by higher than estimated growth in cargo volumes. APSEZ appears poised to achieve its target of 500 MMT cargo volumes in 2025, supported by organic growth and the contribution from its latest acquisition (Gopalpur Port). Net adjusted leverage improved to 2.9x (FY 2022-23: 4.0x). We expect leverage to be stable in FY 2024-25, in line with management's guidance. APSEZ appears to have a renewed appetite for expansion (particularly in overseas markets, amid its already strong domestic position), which may present event risks. In the meantime, the company may remain affected by negative headlines related to corporate governance issues at the broader Adani Group.
