Channel Insight #26 | M&M (Tractors), Bajaj Electricals (Murphy Richards), Havells
- We interact with channels of Mahindra & Mahindra (MM IN) , Bajaj Electricals (BJE IN) & Havells India (HAVL IN) with an objective to understand sources of stress in rural India.
- Price increases, lack of savings and irregular rural cash flows are taking a toll on Tractor Sales.
- In durables, there are no signs of recovery, with lower prices being the only catalyst that would bring back volumes.
Barbeque Nation Update: Discomforts Still Prevalent
- Barbeque Nation Hospitality (0823884D IN) is among the largest casual dining chains in the country, and its been a year since it got listed on the bourses.
- In our earlier insight Barbeque Nation IPO: Not Grilling Fine , we had highlighted the business, financial and governance discomforts seen in the IPO document.
- A year later, these setbacks still continue to be visible in the balance sheet. In this insight, we try to update our insights regarding the company.
Mindtree: Robust Multi-Pronged Strategy To Capitalize On Healthy Demand
- Mindtree has a focused strategy to capitalize on the demand scenario. The company intends to focus on five verticals
- The management also has a strong focus on developing expertise in four service lines including Customer Success, Data Intelligence, Cloud, and Enterprises IT
- We recommend a BUY on the stock and assign 38x P/E multiple to its FY24E earnings of Rs 140.2/share to arrive at a TP of Rs 5,310/share, implying an upside potential of 39% from the CMP.

Ujjivan Reverse Merger: Behind the Dull Response
- Ujjivan Financial Services (UJJIVAN IN) had announced a reverse merger back in October 2021 where the holding company (Ujjivan FS) will be merged with Ujjivan Small Finance Bank (UJJIVANS IN).
- The share swap ratio given in the scheme of amalgamation clearly showcases a significant merger arbitrage opportunity.
- However, there has been no major interest in this very visible opportunity. We try to justify the market behavior.
Margins impacted by RM Cost and operating deleverage
- New order wins in EVs/hybrids; Focus on energy cost pass on to customers MACA’s weak performance in 4QCY21 was reflection of high RM/energy cost and operating deleverage in both geographies.
- It is negotiating with customers to pass on hyper inflation in energy prices.
- We cut our CY22E EPS estimates by 3.5% to account for margin pressures across both geographies and maintain CY23E EPS estimates.
