For this, company will launch new product in every quarter and expand its footprint in different categories. If inflation in crude remains at elevated level, company may take price hike in April18.

Investment Arguments: Strong Brand Presence and Market Share: BAJAJCORP has strong presence in light hair oil market with its flagship brand Bajaj Almond Drop Hair Oil. It is the market leader in light hair oil with a healthy market share(value wise) of 61%. Last year company s market share had declined by 30 bps but now company has regained it. In a tough environment regaining as well as retaining its market share shows strong brand loyalty. Revival in Hair Oil demand to boost growth: Hair oil market was reeling with demand pressure for last 3 years. We expect hair oil industry to do better going forward and first signs of this are quite visible in Q2FY18 result of Bajajcorp. Volume of its flagship brand, Almond Drops Hair Oil (ADHO) grew by 6% YoY, better than 7 previous quarters. This growth largely came from urban market. We expect rural to join urban growth going ahead considering moderate monsoon in this year and government rural initiatives. The company is increasing its direct distribution reach which will also help company to garner better volume growth going ahead. Strong Balance sheet with reasonable dividend yield: BAJAJCORP has strong balance sheet with no long term borrowing and negligible short term borrowings of Rs 15 cr. The company is maintaining dividend payout above 7 for last 3 years and at present price its dividend yield is approx. 2.4%. Above 2% dividend yield is a handsome cash flow for investors and will give comfort to hold investment for long term. ADHO volume for this quarter grew by 4.(Vs decline of 4.2% in Q3FY17). Market share of ADHO improved by 50 bps YoY.

Company reported sales of 197 Cr (vs our expectation of Rs 198 cr), up by 6% YoY. PAT for this quarter remained Rs 55Cr (vs expectation of 51Cr), down by. Going forward we expect better volume growth led by rural demand recovery, new product launches and expansion of direct distribution reach by the company. The company is planning to launch one new product in every quarter which will boost company s volume growth going ahead. Erosion in margin may happen due to rise in crude oil price but we believe company s pricing action, sales pick up and better product mix will negate the extent of this. Margin erosion may not be sharper. Going forward, we expect ROE to improve by 326 bps to 46% in FY19E. At the ROE of 46%, company is still cheaply valued as compared to other FMCG companies in our horizon and as we get confident on the volume and realisation growth going forward, we raise the target earning multiple to its historic high of 36 times. We value BAJAJCORP at 36 times of FY19 s EPS and recommend ACCUMULATE with the target price of Rs 570. Risk to our estimates will be sharp rise in the crude oil prices and delay in rural
