ICICI Securities Report

CIE Automotive India Ltd.'s Q4 CY24 consolidated PAT of Rs 1.8 billion was lower than consensus estimate of Rs 1.9 billion, with ~4% miss in revenue and ~100 basis points miss in Ebitda margin. EU revenue continued to be weak and was down 2% QoQ, at Rs 5.8 billion, on the back of continued slowdown in Metalcastello and Europe CV segment.

India revenue was down 1% QoQ at ~Rs 15 billion, in line with industry growth. CIE Automotive expects strong growth in India business led by ramp-up of new programmes to offset muted growth in Europe business.

We cut CY25E earnings per share by ~10% to account for continued slowdown in Europe business and delay in ramp-up of fresh projects. Maintain Buy with a DCF-based revised target price of Rs 560 (earlier: Rs 675), implying 20 times CY26E EPS.
