India Auto Expo, 2016
09 FEB 2016 AUTOMOBILES | Sector Update India Auto Expo, 2016 We visited the India Auto Expo 2016 in Greater Noida. While there was the expected showcasing of ‘what we can make’, we highlight the handful of launches relevant for the listed Auto companies: Key highlights Maruti Suzuki – Maruti showcased the much-awaited mini-SUV VitaraBrezza. While this wasn’t the launch, and hence pricing not announced, it will compete with other players in the sub-4 meter SUV space (ranging from Mahindra TUV300 to Ford EcoSport). It will be sold through the regular Maruti outlet (as opposed to Nexa) and is being launched only with a diesel variant for now (we reckon a petrol variant will follow). Given that it plugs a huge gap in Maruti’s product portfolio, we believe it could clock a steady state volume run-rate of 6-7k per month. That’s almost double of what its peers are currently doing. There’s significant value-add by Maruti’s India R&D team, which coupled with the royalty being in INR terms will help keep royalty for this model <4% (vs. ~5.9% for Maruti as a whole). Maruti also displayed a concept variant of its premium hatchback, the Ignis, which is due to be launched this year. It will be positioned below the Baleno and launched through its Nexa dealership Tata Motors – Tata displayed its small car Zica (name to be changed), Kite 5 which looked like a sedan version of the Zica, concept of its upcoming compact SUV Nexon, and the Hexa MUV which seemed like an upgraded version of the Tata Aria. Tata is doing an earnest job with all its new products. While it is unlikely to help recover the entire lost market share in PVs (5% vs. peak of 19%), we believe the company can positively surprise given the extremely low expectations M&M – The company had already launched the TUV300 and KUV100 prior to the Expo (at times, OEMs like to keep their launches away from the Expo muddle as standalone launches can make more of an impact). At the Expo, M&M showcased its concept premium crossover, the XUV Aero. Designed with the help of its very own Pininfarina, Italy, it borrowed a lot from the current XUV500 and looked very impressive. However, assuming a high pricing point and targeting a niche buyer, it is unlikely to be a high volume product. Besides Maruti’sVitaraBrezza, the Honda BRV and an upcoming small SUV by Hyundai adds to M&M’s competition 2Ws–Hero MotoCorp showcased more of its R&D capabilities with its first completely in-house developed motorcycle SplendoriSmart 110cc. For TVS Motors, we saw the 310cc BMW sports bike (conceptualized/designed by BMW, but made by TVS). Bajaj/Royal Enfield didn’t participate at the Expo CVs –Ashok Leyland showcased a 49 ton truck, naming it Euro 6 which, as the name suggests, meets the upcoming Euro 6 norms. Tata Motors launched a new range of commercial vehicles called Signa. These will over time replace the company’s conventional range of M&HCVs. Our view Our preference for 4Ws (CVs and cars) over 2Ws over the last couple of years has played out. Still early stages of the automotive cycle coupled with a benign base could ensure the same trend continues before growth normalizes (reckon FY18-19). Our top picks remain Ashok Leyland, Tata Motors and Eicher Motors. 01 Sector Update 09 FEB 2016 AUTOMOBILES Exhibit 1: Valuation summary CMP (Rs) TP (Rs) 881 91 2,361 600 772 18,128 125 2,578 1,217 3,723 269 140 337 288 828 115 2,402 772 848 20,178 140 2,681 1,383 4,505 262 172 502 282 Companies Amara Raja Ashok Leyland Bajaj Auto BalkrishnaInd Bharat Forge Eicher Motors Exide Inds Hero MotoCorp Mah&Mah Maruti Suzuki MothersonSumi Suprajit Engg Tata Motors TVS Motor Reco Hold Buy Hold Buy Hold Buy Buy Hold Buy Buy Hold Buy Buy Hold FDEPS (Rs) FY16E FY17E 30.0 3.9 122.2 59.2 33.2 419.5 7.2 163.1 59.9 173.9 9.7 6.1 53.0 9.9 41.4 6.8 143.7 59.7 43.1 655.5 7.9 178.5 76.8 214.2 12.9 9.5 64.8 17.6 PE (x) FY16E FY17E 29.3 23.2 19.3 10.1 23.3 43.2 17.4 15.8 13.8 21.4 27.7 22.7 6.4 29.0 21.3 13.4 16.4 10.0 17.9 27.7 15.7 14.4 10.7 17.4 20.9 14.6 5.2 16.3 EV/ E (x) FY16E FY17E 17.0 13.4 12.3 6.2 12.7 19.5 9.9 10.7 9.3 10.8 10.9 12.5 3.7 18.0 12.4 8.6 10.5 5.6 10.0 15.6 8.7 9.6 7.4 8.8 8.8 8.6 2.7 11.2 ROCE (%) FY16E FY17E 38 8 43 17 21 28 20 59 19 22 25 22 25 22 37 20 45 18 20 38 21 63 21 28 28 28 20 23 Source: Axis Capital Highlights – various segments Utility vehicles While it was small cars at Auto Expo 2012, sub compact sedans at 2014, UVs stole the show at the 2016 Auto Expo.
