IDBI Capital Report

Castrol India Ltd.’s performance was broadly in-line with our expectations. Castrol’s sales increased by 6% YoY, led by 9% YoY volume growth on the back of strong volume growth in the industrials segment (double digit) and CV segment (+8% YoY), while Personal Mobility grew 6% YoY.

Ebitda increased by 13% YoY to Rs 3.2 billion, with Ebitda margin expanding by 148 bps YoY to 23.7%, primarily aided by a fall in base oil prices and forex volatility, showcasing strong cost management.

The Management remains focused on expanding the distribution network and deepening penetration in the Industrials segment and high margin commercial vehicle segment deriving both value and volume growth.

We roll-over to CY27E estimates, valuing the stock at a PER of 18x CY27E EPS to derive a target price of Rs 211 and maintain our Hold rating on the stock.
