Views of Mr. Amarjeet Maurya (Sr. Research Analyst – Mid Caps, Angel Broking) on Linc Pen & Plastics 2QFY2016 Results:
"Linc Pen & Plastics' (LPPL) 2QFY2016 results outperformed our estimates on the bottom-line front. The company's top-line grew by ~5% YoY to ~INR 88cr (our estimates was of ~INR 89cr), mainly due to growth in domestic and exports segment. On the operating front, the company reported margin expansion (up by 96bp YoY to 9.1%), primarily on account of lower raw material costs. The reported net profit grew by 23% YoY to ~INR 5cr (our estimates was of around ~INR 4cr) on account of strong operating performance and lower interest cost.
Going ahead, we expect LPPL to report a top-line CAGR of ~8% over FY2015-17E to ~INR 371cr owing to strong domestic as well as export sales. On the bottom-line front, we expect the company to report ~17% CAGR over FY2015-17E. This would be on account of expansion in operating margin on the back of lower material prices and higher exports, which is a high margin business. Further, the company has reduced its debt significantly, which will lead to cost saving for the company. Currently, we are positive on LPPL and recommend a BUY rating on the stock."
