Valuation & Outlook
- We reiterate our long-term positive view on EIL; our investment thesis is predicated upon
1) increased awarding of large ticket domestic hydrocarbon PMC orders
2) sustainability in company's margin profile driven by a higher proportion of PMC orders in FY20.
- We maintain our earnings estimate and maintain 'BUY' rating on EIL's stock with an unchanged target price of Rs 187. Delays in the awarding of key orders can pose threat to our earnings estimate.
