Motorcycle and 3W exports set to pick up – Exports recovery (Motorcycle + 3W) led by volume pick up in the African markets (where BAL is a key player) as well as entering new geographies. Three-wheeler sales set to pick up – Domestic 3W volumes set for an uptick with release of permits of ~10,000 units in Delhi, abolition of permits in Maharashtra, conversion of 2-stroke vehicles to 4-stroke vehicles in Karnataka and ban on diesel vehicles in Bangalore. Other Growth Drivers – Other growth drivers such as partnership between BAL and Triumph Motorcycles UK, electric 3W launch and approval of Qute in the domestic market by the regulatory authorities would be icing on the cake. These factors have not been considered in our earnings estimates. At CMP of `3,293, BAL is currently trading at a PE of 20.0x and 17.0 its FY18E and FY19E consolidated EPS. We value BAL at `3,969 per share by applying 21xP/E its consolidated FY19E EPS of `189 (including `297/share for KTM stake and `150 cash/share). We expect BAL to generate free cash flow greater than `50bn/annum in the next 2-3 years. With no major capex around, there is considerable scope for increasing payouts. We initiate coverage on BAL with a BUY rating for a target price of `3,969 (upside potential of 21% over the next 12-18 months). Way2Wealth Brokers Pvt. Ltd. (CIN U67120KA2000PTC027628) SEBI Rgn.

(BAL) is the world’s third largest manufacturer of motorcycles and the largest three-wheeler manufacturer. It was established on November 29, 1945 as Bachraj Trading Corporation Pvt.

However, BAL lost market share in the exports motorcycles segment, from 66% in FY16 to 60% in FY17, owing to economic and political uncertainties in Africa where BAL is a major exporter. BAL is the world’s largest three wheeler manufacturer. Its market share in FY17 improved to 64.2% in FY17 as compared to 63.3% in the passenger three wheeler segment primarily due to market share gains in the domestic market.
