Adani Wilmar has shown sustained growth in revenues over last 3 years and the first half of FY22 also indicates momentum sustaining. This is an industry with low net margins as currently, the FMCG model of Adani Wilmar is more commoditized with focus on the value chain ownership. However, as brands are reinforced, the margins would improve in tandem.
Investment Perspective for Adani Wilmar Ltd IPO
Here is what investors must consider before investing in the Adani Wilmar Ltd IPO.
a) Adani Wilmar has a dominant position in edible oils and owns the total value chain from sourcing raw materials to dealer networks, giving them better control.
b) The balance sheet and the market cap muscle of the Adani group is certainly a big advantage. This allows Adani Wilmar to play the long haul game with competition.
c) One area to watch would be the net margins which is below FMCG levels. However, that is bound to change as brands get reinforced.
d) At a post issue market cap of Rs.29,900 crore and FY21 net profits of Rs.728cr, you have historic P/E of 41 times, substantially lower than other listed FMCG peers. But other FMCG players enjoy much higher EBITDA margins and ROCE.
The lower P/E ratio compared to FMCG peers is more due to the commoditized nature of the business. As Adani Wilmar moves up the value chain towards better ROCE; valuations should automatically improve. For now, the stock does offer a good play on the Indian FMCG sector with a rather robust model that is backward and forward integrated.
