Dear Investor,                          

                           

Markets always tend to be interesting with something or the other happening all the time. Our Morning Mantra is released before the opening bell and it includes the market commentary along with Corporate & Global news for the day.

·         Indraprastha Gas Ltd - Oil & Gas | 1QFY26 Result Update - Higher gas cost and miss on volume hit PAT

 

Key Points

 

Ø  We maintain HOLD on IGL after the 6.7% cut in DCF-based TP on reduced volume and EPS estimates following the miss on volume in 1QFY26. The new TP post-rollover implies Jun-27E P/E of 11.8x vs 5-year median P/E of 17.5x.

 

Ø  We expect FY25-FY27E volume/EPS CAGR of 10.0%/25.5% after the 14.6% cut in FY26E, and marginal increase in FY27 estimates. EBITDA/SCM: FY26E-FY27E average is Rs7.18, FY27E-FY30E average is Rs7.45. Volume CAGR for FY25-FY27E is 10.0% and for FY27E-FY30E it is 8.4%.

 

Ø  Key catalysts: The CNG vehicle growth of 11% YoY to 18,500/month in 1QFY26, and firm gas sourcing mix of term-LNG contracts, as well as the APM/new well gas and HTHP is likely to aid the management’s guidance of 10% volume growth and Rs7-8/scm EBITDA over the medium term. IGL expects savings of at least Rs1/scm from the lower zone-1 tariff announced by PNGRB for CGD, and VAT/input tax cuts likely in UP (20% of sales). A cut in excise duty on CNG and bringing gas under GST, which is expected in 3-4 months as per IGL, could be added positives. The 1QFY26 unit EBITDA at Rs6.1/scm was down 16.8% YoY due to the impact of 18% shortfall in APM gas, although it is up 33% QoQ, aided by the Rs2/kg hike in CNG in 1QFY26. The stock’s 25.2% correction in 1 year has also discounted the policy overhang and impact of the APM gas cut. Concerns include: a) policy on CGD, and b) risk of interim spike in LNG prices and oil/HH gas prices imply higher cost of LNG, much as the long-term glut expected in LNG is positive, c) volume growth in CNG is still muted at 5% despite the healthy CNG vehicle additions.

 

Ø  1QFY26 consolidated PAT reported at Rs4.29bn was a 8.3% miss vs NBIE estimate and was a 5.3% beat vs Bloomberg (street) estimate. The share of JV/Assoc PAT of Rs748mn was 18.8% below our estimate and down 7.4% YoY. Revenue is up 11.2% YoY at Rs39.14bn and was a beat of 1.5% against NBIE estimates, while being a slight miss against street estimates. Blended revenue per scm at Rs47.1 was up 3.4% against NBIE estimate.

 

Ø  Gross margin at 25.2% was 220bps below our estimate, gas cost per scm reported at Rs35.3 came in 6.6% above NBIE estimate. EBITDA per unit of Rs6.1/scm was 6.2% below our estimate. EBITDA margin at 13.0% was a miss of 135bps; EBITDA came in at Rs5.11bna 8% miss on NBIE estimate and a 1.9% beat on street estimates.

 

·         Swiggy Ltd. - E-Retail/ E-Commerce | 1QFY26 Result Update - Growth metrics up with improving profitability; losses in check

 

Key Points

 

Ø  Swiggy’s quick commerce business continues to demonstrate improving operating trend with key KPIs trending positively in Q1FY26. Average Order Value rose 26% YoY and 16% QoQ to Rs612/order (vs Rs487 in Q1FY25 and Rs527 in Q4FY25), driving a 96bps sequential improvement in contribution margin to -4.6% of GOV — despite the launch of Maxxsaver, higher seasonal delivery costs and competitive intensity. While absolute losses increased by Rs560mn QoQ, the business added Rs9,850mn in incremental GOV and Rs6,437mn in NOV, resulting in lower losses as a percentage of GOV. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved by 216bps QoQ to -15.8%, highlighting better monetization and cost absorption. With the core dark store network built out and over 28% of MTUs adopting Maxxsaver, Swiggy remains on the path to contribution breakeven, with quarterly improvement and targeted breakeven between Q3FY26 and Q1FY27.

 

Ø  The food delivery business maintained its growth trajectory with 19% increase in GOV during the quarter, driven by highest-ever addition of MTUs by 1.2mn in a single quarter. However, the contribution profit as percentage of GOV eroded during the quarter by 43bps due to higher seasonal delivery cost. The GOV/revenue/adjusted EBITDA/contribution profit grew at 19%/20%/232%/36% on YoY basis in the food delivery business. The management remained confident on achieving 5% adjusted EBITDA margin over the medium term on account of higher monetization and strong operating leverage.

 

Ø  We continue to believe that the food delivery business is likely to deliver 18%/30%/68% CAGR in GOV, contribution profit, and adjusted EBITDA, respectively, during FY25–FY27E, with adjusted EBITDA reaching 4% of GOV. This will be driven by higher order volumes, improved delivery cost optimization, and the benefits of operating leverage. For the quick commerce business, we remain optimistic that it will turn contribution profit positive by Q1FY27, supported by higher GOV, rising AOV, and an improving assortment mix. We project GOV and gross revenue to clock a CAGR of 72% and 85%, respectively, during FY25–FY27E with contribution profit turning positive in FY27. We are rolling forward our valuation to Jun-27E using the SOTP method and maintain our target price of Rs500.

 

·         Emami Ltd (HMN) - FMCG | 1QFY26 Result Update - FY26 likely to be another year of tepid sales growth

 

Key Points

 

Ø  HMN declared a better set of numbers than expected in its 1QFY26 results but sales and EBITDA growth were still flattish YoY. Summer season product sales declined 17% YoY on a 54% growth base in 1QFY25.

 

Ø  Management commentary for the rest of the year doesn’t provide much confidence on sales revival despite the weak base of mid-single digit sales growth in the past three years. For the quarter while pain management did well and the summer season products did poorly on account of the early onset of rain none of the other segments like healthcare and international business did well and Kesh King and Male Grooming and strategic subsidiaries posted  declines in sales YoY.

 

Ø  We don’t see any significant revival ahead and if seasonal factors are not supportive, HMN is likely to report sales growth in mid single digit CAGR range again in the next two years. Maintain HOLD

 

·         Indraprastha Gas Ltd - Oil & Gas | 1QFY26 Result Update - Higher gas cost and miss on volume hit PAT

 

Key Points

 

Ø  We maintain HOLD on IGL after the 6.7% cut in DCF-based TP on reduced volume and EPS estimates following the miss on volume in 1QFY26. The new TP post-rollover implies Jun-27E P/E of 11.8x vs 5-year median P/E of 17.5x.

 

Ø  We expect FY25-FY27E volume/EPS CAGR of 10.0%/25.5% after the 14.6% cut in FY26E, and marginal increase in FY27 estimates. EBITDA/SCM: FY26E-FY27E average is Rs7.18, FY27E-FY30E average is Rs7.45. Volume CAGR for FY25-FY27E is 10.0% and for FY27E-FY30E it is 8.4%.

 

Ø  Key catalysts: The CNG vehicle growth of 11% YoY to 18,500/month in 1QFY26, and firm gas sourcing mix of term-LNG contracts, as well as the APM/new well gas and HTHP is likely to aid the management’s guidance of 10% volume growth and Rs7-8/scm EBITDA over the medium term. IGL expects savings of at least Rs1/scm from the lower zone-1 tariff announced by PNGRB for CGD, and VAT/input tax cuts likely in UP (20% of sales). A cut in excise duty on CNG and bringing gas under GST, which is expected in 3-4 months as per IGL, could be added positives. The 1QFY26 unit EBITDA at Rs6.1/scm was down 16.8% YoY due to the impact of 18% shortfall in APM gas, although it is up 33% QoQ, aided by the Rs2/kg hike in CNG in 1QFY26. The stock’s 25.2% correction in 1 year has also discounted the policy overhang and impact of the APM gas cut. Concerns include: a) policy on CGD, and b) risk of interim spike in LNG prices and oil/HH gas prices imply higher cost of LNG, much as the long-term glut expected in LNG is positive, c) volume growth in CNG is still muted at 5% despite the healthy CNG vehicle additions.

 

Ø  1QFY26 consolidated PAT reported at Rs4.29bn was a 8.3% miss vs NBIE estimate and was a 5.3% beat vs Bloomberg (street) estimate. The share of JV/Assoc PAT of Rs748mn was 18.8% below our estimate and down 7.4% YoY. Revenue is up 11.2% YoY at Rs39.14bn and was a beat of 1.5% against NBIE estimates, while being a slight miss against street estimates. Blended revenue per scm at Rs47.1 was up 3.4% against NBIE estimate.

 

Ø  Gross margin at 25.2% was 220bps below our estimate, gas cost per scm reported at Rs35.3 came in 6.6% above NBIE estimate. EBITDA per unit of Rs6.1/scm was 6.2% below our estimate. EBITDA margin at 13.0% was a miss of 135bps; EBITDA came in at Rs5.11bna 8% miss on NBIE estimate and a 1.9% beat on street estimates.

 

·         Dabur India (DABUR) - FMCG | 1QFY26 Result Update - In line results, no clarity on double digit sales growth in FY26 despite weak base

 

Key Points

 

Ø  Dabur’s 1QFY26 results were broadly in line with estimates on all fronts.

 

Ø  Weak sales growth trend has persisted for the last 3.5 years now. Despite only 1.3% growth in FY25, the management isn’t confident of a double digit sales growth in FY26 because summer season has been weak, demand conditions tepid and beverages recovery will take time.

 

Ø  We had downgraded the stock to HOLD after the 4QFY25 results because of the continued disappointment in sales growth and there is no evidence that the company is likely to turn the corner on that front. Maintain HOLD

 

·         TVS Motor Company (TVSL) - Automobiles | 1QFY26 Result Update - Limited exposure to rural recovery

FY26 Outlook: TVS Motor expects the demand momentum to improve in FY26, particularly in the second half, aided by a favourable monsoon, higher reservoir levels, and healthy Kharif sowing, which are likely to support rural sentiment. However, the management acknowledged that rural growth in Q1FY26 lagged urban markets (3.3% vs. 4% YoY), reflecting the company’s relatively limited rural penetration. Given this backdrop, peers with stronger rural networks may be better positioned to benefit from a rural-led recovery. In contrast, urban demand remains subdued, especially in the entry-level segment, impacted by weak sentiment, affordability pressures, and stagnant income levels. While infrastructure improvements are gradually enabling scooterisation in rural areas, TVS’s current footprint remains skewed towards urban and semi-urban centres—particularly in EVs, where its iQube is present across ~900 dealerships. We believe domestic volumes in FY26 will be supported by seasonality, new launches across ICE and EV segments, and improving macro-rural tailwinds, though near-term growth may remain uneven across geographies and segments.

 

Ø  Green shoots of recovery visible in key export markets:  Exports are starting to do well despite macro instability due to tariffs. We are seeing good pickup in ASEAN and Sri Lanka markets and Africa market is also gradually recovering from macro issues it faced earlier. LATAM is a relatively new market for TVS and it believes there is significant headroom to build in this market due to the economic stability witnessed as well as the affinity for motorcycles, especially in markets like Brazil. We expect volume growth of 9% CAGR in exports from FY25-27E.

 

Ø  Capital allocation remains a concern: TVS has heavily invested in foreign subsidiaries. Over the last five years, these investments have grown at ~25% CAGR. On a cumulative basis these subsidiaries have been making losses with the bulk of the losses booked in Norton and SEMG. The guidance is for Rs 17bn investment in FY26.

 

Ø  Outlook & Valuation: We believe all the positives are factored into the price as it trades at 34x FY27E EPS. TVS has outperformed the 2W industry and we expect this outperformance to sustain at a volume CAGR of ~11% over FY25-27E. Our estimates for FY26/27 EPS remain unchanged. We maintain HOLD rating on the stock with a Jun’27 TP of Rs 2,972, valuing the standalone business at 32x Jun’27 and TVS credit at 2x BV.

 

·         Hindustan Unilever (HUVR) - FMCG | 1QFY26 Result Update - In line results, gradual improvement in operating environment

 

Key Points

 

Ø  HUVR’s 1QFY26 standalone numbers were largely in line with expectations on all parameters. The management indicated a gradual recovery in consumption demand, stated that gross margins have bottomed out and that realisation growth won’t be high for the near term as the company is focusing on competitive volume led growth.

 

Ø  We have moved to projecting consolidated numbers on an annual basis to adjust for the Minimalist acquisition even as we maintain standalone numbers for interims for now.

 

Ø  At the analyst meet in December 2024, the management highlighted that for any significant momentum in sales from a medium-term perspective, three factors should show improvement: i) real rural wage growth, ii) increase in employment levels, and iii) lower CPI inflation levels. While the latter seems to be abating for now, the outlook on the first two factors is more uncertain, particularly on employment levels. Until then we do not expect mass consumption to recover materially, which is crucial for a behemoth like HUVR. We maintain our HOLD rating as earnings growth is likely to be modest at mid-single digits over FY25-FY27E despite taking into account the Minimalist acquisition as part of our annual forecasts.

 

·         Indraprastha Gas Ltd - Oil & Gas | 1QFY26 Result Update - Higher gas cost and miss on volume hit PAT

 

Key Points

 

Ø  We maintain HOLD on IGL after the 6.7% cut in DCF-based TP on reduced volume and EPS estimates following the miss on volume in 1QFY26. The new TP post-rollover implies Jun-27E P/E of 11.8x vs 5-year median P/E of 17.5x.

 

Ø  We expect FY25-FY27E volume/EPS CAGR of 10.0%/25.5% after the 14.6% cut in FY26E, and marginal increase in FY27 estimates. EBITDA/SCM: FY26E-FY27E average is Rs7.18, FY27E-FY30E average is Rs7.45. Volume CAGR for FY25-FY27E is 10.0% and for FY27E-FY30E it is 8.4%.

 

Ø  Key catalysts: The CNG vehicle growth of 11% YoY to 18,500/month in 1QFY26, and firm gas sourcing mix of term-LNG contracts, as well as the APM/new well gas and HTHP is likely to aid the management’s guidance of 10% volume growth and Rs7-8/scm EBITDA over the medium term. IGL expects savings of at least Rs1/scm from the lower zone-1 tariff announced by PNGRB for CGD, and VAT/input tax cuts likely in UP (20% of sales). A cut in excise duty on CNG and bringing gas under GST, which is expected in 3-4 months as per IGL, could be added positives. The 1QFY26 unit EBITDA at Rs6.1/scm was down 16.8% YoY due to the impact of 18% shortfall in APM gas, although it is up 33% QoQ, aided by the Rs2/kg hike in CNG in 1QFY26. The stock’s 25.2% correction in 1 year has also discounted the policy overhang and impact of the APM gas cut. Concerns include: a) policy on CGD, and b) risk of interim spike in LNG prices and oil/HH gas prices imply higher cost of LNG, much as the long-term glut expected in LNG is positive, c) volume growth in CNG is still muted at 5% despite the healthy CNG vehicle additions.

 

Ø  1QFY26 consolidated PAT reported at Rs4.29bn was a 8.3% miss vs NBIE estimate and was a 5.3% beat vs Bloomberg (street) estimate. The share of JV/Assoc PAT of Rs748mn was 18.8% below our estimate and down 7.4% YoY. Revenue is up 11.2% YoY at Rs39.14bn and was a beat of 1.5% against NBIE estimates, while being a slight miss against street estimates. Blended revenue per scm at Rs47.1 was up 3.4% against NBIE estimate.

 

Ø  Gross margin at 25.2% was 220bps below our estimate, gas cost per scm reported at Rs35.3 came in 6.6% above NBIE estimate. EBITDA per unit of Rs6.1/scm was 6.2% below our estimate. EBITDA margin at 13.0% was a miss of 135bps; EBITDA came in at Rs5.11bna 8% miss on NBIE estimate and a 1.9% beat on street estimates.

 

·         Restaurant Brands Asia (RBA) - QSR | 1QFY26 Result Update - Muted SSSG trend continues, valuations fair

 

Key Points

 

Ø  RBA’s domestic SSSG in 1QFY26 came in at 2.6% versus our expectations of 4% Growth and India business EBITDA margins were also below expectations. Indonesia business on the other hand surprised on the positive side with a minor profit at the operating level

 

Ø  There is little evidence to suggest that Burger King or the QSR sector has turned the corner in a period of weak urban demand. Indonesia business saw some green shoots but getting to material profitability will take a significant amount of time

 

Ø  While the capital raising in March assuaged some concerns over cash flows required to fund the committed expansion, recovery path in both India and Indonesia business remains uncertain. The company is likely to make net losses at standalone and Consolidated levels even in FY27 and the even lower skin in the game of the promoters (at 11%) after capital raising remain concerns. We maintain HOLD rating on the stock on account of fair valuations.

 

·         City Union Bank (CUBK) - Banking | 1QFY26 Result Update - Robust loan growth; NIM performance better than industry

 

Key Points

 

Ø  City Union Bank’s (CUB) 1QFY26 performance was better than our expectations at the NII/PPOP level by 4.7%/13.4%, respectively, and in line with expectations at the PAT level. PAT grew 15.7% YoY and 6.2% QoQ to Rs3.1bn due to robust loan growth. Loan and deposit growth stood at 16.1% YoY and 19.8% YoY, respectively. NIM stood stable on a YoY basis but declined by 6bps QoQ to 3.54%. The bank’s performance on NIMs was better than industry, which saw a ~20bps QoQ decline in margins. GNPA/NNPA improved by 10bps QoQ/5bps QoQ to 2.99%/1.2% in 1QFY26.

 

We have estimated loan/earnings CAGR of 14.1% /14.5% over FY25-FY27E, which will lead to RoA/RoE of 1.6%/13.1% in FY27E. We have valued CUB at 1.65x its Jun-27E ABV (same as earlier) thus deriving a target price of Rs260 (same as earlier). Our target multiple is at a 11.9% premium to the past 5-year average multiple of 1.5x. We are positive on CUB due to its improved growth prospects from the turnaround in the core MSME loan business and incremental contribution that will come from the recent launch of the retail business. The asset quality and PCR have also improved. We maintain a 'BUY' rating on CUB.

 

·         ACC LTD (ACC) - Cements | 1QFY26 Result Update - Volume peaks, margins ease

 

Key Points

 

Ø  Volume, realization, and profitability: Cement and clinker volumes reached an all-time high of 11.5MnT in Q1FY26, marking a 12.7% YoY growth. Key performance metrics improved with volume, realization, and EBITDA per tonne (ex-incentives) rising 12.7%, 10.9%, and 1.2%, respectively—coming in at 11.5MnT, Rs5,275, and Rs672 (vs NBIE estimates of 10.8MnT, Rs5,159, and Rs734).

 

Ø  Trade and product mix: Trade volumes grew ~6%, while the share of premium products increased ~7%, now comprising 41% of trade sales.

 

Ø  Cost efficiencies: Kiln fuel cost reduced ~10% YoY to Rs1.56 per ’000 kcal (from Rs1.73).

 

Ø  Logistics cost declined ~5% YoY and is now at Rs972/T, driven by improved freight optimization.

 

Ø  Sustainability initiatives: The share of green energy usage rose significantly, with 13.9% coming from WHRS and 11.3% from solar, bringing the total green power consumption to 26.2%—a YoY increase of ~12%.

Ø  Financial performance and outlook:

 

o    Despite modest profit growth, there were strong gains in revenue and the volumes also highlighted continued demand momentum, particularly from the infrastructure and affordable housing sectors. However, PAT declined 36% sequentially from Q4FY25 (Rs6bn), and EBITDA margins saw a slight contraction due to elevated input costs and a higher tax burden.

 

o    Looking ahead, ACC remains optimistic for Q2FY26, with expectations of 6-7% cement demand growth for FY26, supported by macroeconomic strength and robust infrastructure spending.

 

Ø  Views and valuation: Revenue, EBITDA, and PAT growth CAGR during FY25-FY27E stands at 12%, 10%, and 2%, respectively. ACC is currently valued at 8.7x expected EV/EBITDA for FY27E, below the 5-year average of 13x. We retain a ‘HOLD’ rating on ACC and value it at 10.6x Jun-27E EV/EBITDA, resulting in a target price (TP) of Rs1,983.

 

Ø  Key risk to our estimates:

 

o    Lower realization and demand in its key market.

 

o    Further delay in capacity expansion to result in market share loss

 

·         Sanofi India (SANL) - Pharmaceuticals | 2QCY25 Result Update - Soft quarter; strategic reset underway

 

Key Points

 

Ø  Sanofi India’s results were a mixed bag. Revenues missed estimates, while margins were in line with NBIE estimates.

 

Ø  The company has a tie-up with Emcure for their diabetes portfolio (OADs) effective Jun-25; further consolidation of core therapies and leadership changes at the Goa plant signal execution focus.

 

Ø  We also appreciate the company's strategic partnerships with Cipla and Emcure. We are valuing Sanofi India at a P/E of 37x over 2QCY27E EPS of Rs160, arriving at a target price (TP) of Rs5,907. We maintain a HOLD rating on the stock.

 

 

·         Birla Corporation (BCORP) - Cements | 1QFY26 Result Update - Birla Corporation delivers growth amid cost pressures and supply challenges

 

Key Points

 

Ø  Volume/realization/T/EBITDA/T experienced growth of 9.4%, 0.2%, and 22.8%, respectively, reaching 4.8MnT/Rs4,889/Rs724 (NBIE: 4.7MnT/Rs5,297/Rs910). The performance was impacted by a 17% YoY decline in clinker production, which fell to 2.44MnT due to prolonged maintenance shutdowns, particularly at Mukutban and Maihar, which extended beyond planned timelines. This resulted in lost volumes and a clinker shortage, following stronger-than-expected demand in Q4FY25. To compensate, the company procured 0.1MnT of high-cost clinker, which weighed on margins. The pricing in Central India remained subdued, limiting realization gains. Premium products contributed 58% of trade channel sales. The flagship brand ‘Perfect Plus’ posted 19% YoY volume growth, while ‘Unique Plus’ grew 37%. Blended cement accounted for 89% of total sales, up from 84% YoY, registering 16% growth. Regional cement volume growth—East: +18%, West: +15%, and Central & North: +7-8%.

 

Bottom of Form

Ø  The jute business: The company achieved a cash profit of Rs64mn, reversing a loss of Rs39mn in the previous year. Local sales grew 63% YoY; exports jumped 133% in value terms. The company effectively offset the impact of rising raw jute prices by reducing processing costs and enhancing production efficiency, thereby demonstrating strong operational discipline.

 

Ø  Views and valuation: We project revenue, EBITDA, and PAT CAGR of 8%, 18%, and 36%, respectively, over FY25-FY27E. Despite a healthy earnings trajectory, BCorp is currently trading at 8.3x FY27E EV/EBITDA, which is below its 5-year historical average of 10.4x. We maintain our ‘HOLD’ rating, valuing the stock at 7.8x Jun-27E EV/EBITDA, which translates to a target price of Rs1,415.

 

Ø  The company's investment rationale remains intact, underpinned by the following strategic initiatives:

 

o    Increased use of green energy sources, including Waste Heat Recovery Systems (WHRS) and solar power, to enhance energy efficiency and reduce costs.

 

o    Ongoing cost optimization efforts at Mukutban under Project Shikhar, supported by captive coal sourcing and logistics improvements through Project Unnati.

 

Ø  Continued focus on premium product offerings, which strengthens brand positioning and drives higher realization across key markets.

 

·         J.B. Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals (JBCP) - Pharmaceuticals | 1QFY26 Result update - Discontinued, but conviction intact

 

Key Points

 

Ø  JB Chem’s Q1FY26 results were mixed, with a slight revenue miss but a strong margin beat, driven by double-digit growth in India and the CMO business. Management has maintained FY26 EBITDA margin guidance at 26-28% (ex-ESOPs).

 

Ø  On 29-Jun-25, Torrent Pharma entered into definitive agreements with KKR to acquire a 46.39% controlling stake in JB Pharma for Rs119.17bn (Rs1,600/share), triggering a mandatory open offer for an additional 26% at Rs1,639.18/share, with the intent to acquire up to 2.8% more from employees.

 

Ø  The transaction will lead to a merger of JB Pharma into Torrent Pharma under a scheme of arrangement. Shareholders of JB will receive 51 Torrent shares for every 100 JB shares, effectively integrating the business into Torrent’s broader platform.

 

Ø  JB Chemicals has been one of our top mid-cap pharma picks; consistently delivering strong growth and strategic execution. With the merger now progressing and the company becoming part of Torrent, we discontinue standalone coverage on JB Chemicals.

 

 

·         Sun Pharmaceutical Industries (SUNP) - Pharmaceuticals | 1QFY26 Result update - India + Specialty to drive growth

 

Key Points

 

Ø  Sun Pharma’s Q1FY26 revenues were broadly in line with NBIE estimates, while EBITDA margins outperformed. Revenues were led by strong double-digit growth in India and RoW markets. US generics remained under pricing pressure.

 

Ø  GM expanded by 82bps YoY, supported by raw material cost reduction and higher contribution from specialty products. Controlled opex also aided EBITDA margin expansion.

 

Ø  US generics declined; however, LEQSELVI was launched and UNLOXCYT is on track for a 2HFY26 launch. Revlimid sales were moderately high QoQ. India growth was volume-led with healthy new launches. Taro-EPP litigation settled—no further charges expected.

 

Ø  While near-term headwinds (higher R&D, rising tax rate, US pressure) prompt minor EPS cuts, we remain constructive. Long-term drivers include: (i) Sustained outperformance in the India branded formulations market with superior execution and volume-led growth; (ii) Commercial ramp-up in US specialty driven by LEQSELVI and UNLOXCYT launches; (iii) Inorganic opportunities in dermatology, ophthalmology, and onco-derma backed by a strong balance sheet; and (iv) Margin resilience as the company invests in specialty commercial infrastructure while maintaining operating discipline. We value the company at a P/E of 35x over Jun-27E of Rs58 and arrive at a target price of Rs2,032; we maintain BUY on the stock.

 

 

·         Eicher Motors (EIM) - Automobiles | 1QFY26 Result Update - Cruising through unfavorable terrain

Key Points

Ø  Our TOP PICK in 2W OEMs – We remain bullish on EIM with a TP of Rs 6,382, valuing the standalone business at 27x Jun’27 earnings and VECV business at 11x Jun’27 EV/EBITDA contributing Rs577/share. Shifting gears in the domestic market by focusing on growth has resulted in sharp uptick in volumes. This is in tandem with continued dominance in the export market, now at a run-rate of over 10k units/month.

 

Ø  We expect domestic business to grow at a healthy 11% CAGR and exports, to grow at 20% CAGR. Our multiples are in line with the 5-year average multiple. We have adjusted our estimates on EBITDA/PAT downwards to factor in the company’s push to sustain the market activation and brand building activities, which have paid off in the past few quarters.

 

Ø  We are building in Revenue/EBITDA/PAT CAGR over FY25-27 of 18%/17%/15% factoring the pivot to expanding the market with sustaining market share in domestic and export markets.

 

·         DCB Bank (DCBB) - Banking | 1QFY26 Result Update - Accelerated provisions on unsecured loans lead to rise in credit costs

 

Key Points

 

Ø  DCB Bank’s 1QFY26 performance was better than our expectations at NII / PPOP / PAT level by 3.5% / 22.5% / 3.4% respectively. PAT grew by 19.7% YoY but declined by 11.2% QoQ to Rs 1.6bn. Provisions increased by 305.6% YoY and 71.3% QoQ due to accelerated provisions on MFI and unsecured DA portfolio. Loan growth and deposit growth stood robust at 21.4% YoY and 20% YoY respectively. NIM declined by 19bps YoY and 9bps QoQ to 3.2%. Slippages increased from Rs 3.7bn (3.1%) in 4QFY25 to Rs 5.8bn (4.6%) in 1QFY26 due to stress in MFI book, unsecured DAs and small ticket secured DAs.

 

Ø  We have valued DCB at 0.9x June 2027E ABV (same as earlier), thus deriving a target price (TP) of Rs177 (Rs 180 earlier). Our target multiple is at a 16.3% premium to the past 5-year multiple of 0.77x. We have estimated a loan / earnings CAGR of 18.2% / 24.1% which will result in RoA / RoE of 1% / 14% in FY27E. We maintain a ‘Buy’ rating on DCB Bank.

 

 

·         Ambuja Cements (ACEM) - Cements | 1QFY26 Result Update - Strategic integration and cost levers set stage for strong FY26

 

Key Points

 

Ø  Sales volume grew 20.3% to 18.4MnT (vs. NBIE estimate of 17.3MnT), Realization/T increased 2.7% to Rs5,567 (NBIE: Rs5,324), and EBITDA/T (excluding incentives) rose 35% to Rs1,041 (NBIE: Rs1,030). The company gained 200bps in market share, reaching 15.5%. Revenue rose 23% YoY to Rs102.9bn, driven by higher volumes, a 4% improvement in price realizations, and strong growth in premium products, which accounted for 33% of trade sales—up 43% YoY.

 

Ø  Management guidance and outlook:

 

o    FY26 demand growth guidance has been revised upward to 7-8%, reflecting improved industry sentiment.

 

o    Orient and Penna Cements have been fully integrated, contributing to volume growth and strengthening dealer confidence.

 

o    Approximately 40% of total capacity now comprises of next-generation, capital-efficient assets powered by green energy solutions.

 

o    Strategic brownfield expansion projects are underway at over 10 locations, supporting the company’s path toward a 140MnT capacity target by FY28.

 

o    Achieved Rs119/tonne in cost savings YoY; the company remains on track to deliver Rs530/tonne in cumulative cost reductions by FY28.

 

o    Current installed capacity stands at 104.5MTPA with 5MTPA commissioned recently. The company aims to reach 118MTPA by FY26 and 140MTPA by FY28.

 

o    Operational collaboration with Adani Group entities continues to drive efficiencies across procurement, logistics, renewable energy sourcing, and digital transformation initiatives.

 

Ø  Maintain estimate and rating: We project revenue, EBITDA, and PAT CAGR of 26%, 56%, and 43%, respectively, over FY25-FY27E. We believe the company is well-positioned to outperform these estimates, supported by multiple structural and operational tailwinds. Cost savings from Waste Heat Recovery Systems (WHRS): ~Rs100/T; increased share of renewable energy: estimated benefit of ~Rs70/T; captive coal mining ramp-up: expected to meet ~80% of coal requirements in the next 12-15 months; reduced lead distance: improvement to ~100km, lowering freight costs by ~Rs4/T/km (PTPK). Higher operational days in FY26: ~321 working days vs. ~291 in FY25. The stock currently trades at 8.7x FY27E EV/EBITDA, which is below its 5-year historical average of 11.3x. We maintain our ‘BUY’ rating on ACEM, valuing it at 12x Jun-27E EV/EBITDA, arriving at a target price of Rs759.

 

Ø  Key risks to our assumptions:

 

o    Sequential increases in power, fuel, and logistics costs were observed during Q1FY26. These were partly driven by the integration of new assets and higher branding expenditures. Management anticipates a normalization of these cost pressures in the upcoming quarters.

 

o    The expansion project at Bhatapara is facing a slight delay beyond the initial Mar-25 target. However, project execution remains on track overall, supported by stable vendor relationships and consistent operational progress.

 

 

·         Maruti Suzuki India (MSIL) - Automobiles | 1QFY26 Result Update - Transformation from mileage to premium, BUY

Key Points

Ø  MSIL reported healthy growth in export volumes up 37.4% YoY for the quarter amid a tepid domestic market with poor urban sentiment and affordability hurting the small car segment’s traction where MSIL is the largest player.

 

Ø  The hatch segment has consistently declined in volumes, currently at 21% of the market vs 46% back in FY19. We believe the bellwether is in the process of overthrowing its mileage centric value proposition to a more aesthetic, safe and premium offering. New launches are also largely pegged to the larger SUV/MPV segment which now command 55%/11% of domestic PV volumes.

 

Ø  This strong export momentum was supported by a decade-long effort to build up the global distribution network, launch more export-focused products.

·         Meghmani Organics Q1FY26 Concall Update

 

#Crop Protection to grow at double digits over the next three years

#Muted growth in Green and Blue Pigment, while TiO2 to improve performance from Q3 onwards

#Robust growth expected in Nutrition segment

 

Outlook: Positive

 

Key highlights

      Pricing scenario remained stable across both the segments of Crop Protection and Pigments.

      In the Crop Protection, new demand started picking up very well. While the volumes have seen steady growth, company’s revenue growth has seen a significant uptick on account of increase in contribution from its high value new products.

      Meghmani will continue to focus on new product development for its future growth. It highlighted that double digit expected growth in the segment will be mainly led by number of registrations in pipeline across various markets (Exports to 75+ countries).

      In Brazil, a major agrochemical market, it has applied for ~40 registrations of which 6 are received and remaining should be through over the next 3-4 years. Management believes that Brazil is a high entry barrier market with respect to registration and timeline.

      MPP utilization is gradually improving and will support the Crop protection.

      Nano Urea continue to perform well across both export and domestic markets. It has received trail orders and double digit growth is observed in the segment. It expects major growth over the next 2-3 years.

      In 2,4-D, demand remained intact, where Meghmani has the lowest tariffs. The plant is running at 85%+ capacity.

      TiO2 – It is mainly producing Sulphate based anatase grade which mainly used in paints, where more than 1500 paints companies are in India. Besides, it has various applications across segments such as Ceramics, Rubber, Paper, etc. Currently, Meghmani is not catering to major industry players; however, top players are giving priority given the ADD on Chinese TiO2. Thus, it offers good opportunity for the company. The management has major plans for TiO2, where it aims at stabilizing first phase and then will decide on further growth plans.

      Pigment green and blue segment to remain flat in the range of Rs.50-60 cr.

      In Crop Nutrition, Meghmani is optimistic where developments are happening in the various global markets.

      US tariffs on India will have some impact in the near term while it has an edge over China on a long term basis. Management indicated that Chinese players are expected to raise agrochemical prices, with modest price growth likely in the coming quarters.

      On consolidated level, total debt stood at Rs. 809 cr, debt reduction is aimed at over the upcoming quarters. Effective tax rate would be at 25% for FY26E.

 

Stock is currently trading at ~12.2x P/E to FY27E EPS.
