Valuation: During the quarter, BEML impressed us by reporting strong execution, mainly seen across the Construction & Mining Equipments segment. Also, BEML has reported a Rs. 1,771cr of order inflows, across all the 3 business segments. Reported order inflows, emerging bid pipeline, indicate us that BEML should end FY2016E with strong order inflows of Rs. 2,900cr. A strong awarding environment should lead to improvement in the execution. Accordingly, we expect BEML to report a 19.4% top-line CAGR during FY2015-17E. At the back-drop of improved execution and better absorption of fixed costs, we expect BEML to report a strong 529.2% PAT CAGR during FY2015-17E.
On the whole, we are optimistic that the company would report strong earnings going forward, given the improving award activity environment across all 3 business segments, BEML has a strong market positioning. We continue to maintain our NEUTRAL rating on the stock.
