Systematix Research Report

Finolex Cables Ltd.’s business prospects are reviving, given the improving outlook for the real estate sector. After lacklustre performance over FY17-21, the company reported decent performance in FY22, with the same continuing in FY23.

With the outlook on the wires industry too improving, we estimate 13%/23%/-2% compound annual growth rate in revenue/Ebitda/profit after tax over FY22-24E (FY18-22: 8%/-1%/16%).

Despite healthy operating performance, an expected fall in Finolex Industries Ltd.’s profits could impact Finolex Cables’ profit after tax growth.

Even though Finolex Cables has been underperforming peers in recent years, we expect it to play catch up, considering its current valuation of ~12 times FY24E earnings, underpinned by its cash-rich/ free cash flow status, and the improving outlook on its business. However, the ongoing family tussle for company ownership would remain an overhang on the stock.
