Valuation & Outlook

For JKTIL, demand prospects are expected to be subdued in FY20P-22E in line with wider automotive space. Margins, however, are seen improving amid benign commodity prices and better product mix. However, progress on debt reduction plan will be a key monitorable. We maintain HOLD rating on the stock with a target price of Rs. 65 i.e. 5x EV/EBITDA on FY22E numbers.
