Blue Star Ltd | 4QFY2019 Result Update
Outlook & Valuation:
We forecast Blue Star to report top-line CAGR of ~13% to `6,680cr over FY2019-21E on the
back of healthy demand growth in Air Conditioning and Unitary Products division. On the
bottom-line front, we estimate ~14% CAGR to `246cr owing to improvement in volumes and
better operating margins. We maintain our Buy recommendation on Blue Star with a Target
Price of `867.
Downside risks to our estimates
Any slowdown in consumer segments like IT/ITES, healthcare, hospitality and
infrastructure could impact the company’s growth.
Foreign exchange fluctuations have a direct impact on the profit of the cooling
products division since commercial refrigerators are imported.
The RAC industry has been witnessing high traction and the company has been
able to outperform the industry over the past few years. Any unexpected drop in
performance of the RAC industry would pose a threat to our estimates.
