Titan Company (TITIND) HDFC Bank (HDFBAN)

• Titan Company is a major player in the organised jewellery market with • HDFC Bank has efficiently focused on retail business and has garnered

share of ~6%. Tanishq’s penetration is still at a very nascent stage in the
Indian jewellery market. This provides immense opportunity for Titan to
enhance its market share, going forward. Recent regulatory changes such
as gold hallmarking, GST have turned out to be highly favourable for
organised players like Titan, leading to market share gains from
unorganised players. The market share gains are visible as Tanishq reported
robust revenue CAGR of 19% in FY16-20
• Since the outbreak of the pandemic, perception of gold as an asset class
has seen healthy traction. Demand for plain gold jewellery, gold coins has
zoomed owing to a surge in gold prices. Overall recovery rate for jewellery
division for Titan rose from 77% in June to 98% in Q2FY21. The recovery
rate has been encouraging given the challenging times

opening 14 Tanishq stores in H1FY21. Given Titan’s robust balance sheet

 Story of the stock

Asian Paints (ASIPAI) Hindustan Unilever (HINLEV)

• Asian Paints is India’s largest paint company with group revenue of
~| 20,000 crore. The company derives ~98% revenue from the decorative
paints business while 2% business comes from the home improvement
business (kitchen and bathroom fittings). In the last 10 years, Asian Paints
has recorded volume CAGR of ~10% led by strong repainting demand in India
(drives ~70% of total demand) and improving trend of Indian urbanisation.
We believe, barring short-term hiccups, the long term growth story of
decorative paint with shortening repainting cycle, rising aspirations and
urbanisation level in India remains intact. This is evident from strong
demand for paints post re-opening of the economy from pandemic led
lockdown. Despite sporadic lockdowns in many regions, Asian Paints gained
market share due to its strong supply chain network and over 1,50,000
retail touch points across India
• Asian Paints witnessed a robust expansion in EBITDA margin by ~500 bps
over the last five years mainly supported by benign raw material prices and
various cost optimisation measures. We believe the EBITDA margin of Asian
MOMENTUM PICK
• With the acquisition of Horlicks & Boost, HUL’s food portfolio has now
become 30% of overall sales. The acquired brands command 65% gross
margin, which is much higher than HUL’s existing gross margins. Moreover,
we believe the company would be able to cut common & redundant cost to
get synergistic benefit. We believe benefit of acquisition would be
reflected in operating margins expansion going forward. Barring periodic
cost inflation, we believe commodity cost increase would be easily pass on
(which would not impact operating margins in the long run)
• Covid-19 induced lockdown disrupted the manufacturing & distribution for a
short period of time. On the demand side, there has been a significant
increased in sales of health, hygiene & nutrition product portfolio.
However, on the other hand, discretionary & out of home consumption
categories have seen a considerable demand destruction. We believe 80% of
the company’s portfolio is likely to witness robust demand condition in the
long run with structure growth in health & hygiene space

ICICI Securities – Retail Equity Research

Paints will remain elevated supported by improving product mix (with • HUL has been able to leverage strong brands in hygiene (Lifebuoy, Domex,
demand returning back into urban markets) and rationalisation of fixed Vim, Surf Excel) space to drive growth. It would continue to witness strong
costs double digit growth in the health, hygiene space. Moreover, margins
improvement post consolidation of nutrition brands would drive earnings.
• We are structurally positive on the paint industry and market leader given
With robust earning growth, negative working capital, stronger cash flows
the sustained volume CAGR of ~11% in FY20-23E and strong balance sheet
and high dividend payout, it has all the ingredients of improving its return

acquisitions)

Nestlé India (NESIND)

• Nestlé witnessed sudden surge in demand for noodles as consumption for

MOMENTUM PICK
packaged instant food increased significantly given demand surge for ‘at
home’ consumption products. Though initially the company faced supply
issues due to closure of factories in April, supplies improved significantly.
Further, new launches across categories are gaining traction (71 new
products launched in last five years contributing 3.4% to the sales). The
company expanded its breakfast ready to eat in Maggi Poha & Maggi Upma,
which would have gained traction during pandemic. We believe the
company has been net beneficiary of change in consumption trend in last
six months. We expect packaged food category would continue to drive
growth, going forward
• Commodity inflation for Nestlé has been largely milk based given all other
raw material have not seen sharp ups & downs. Milk prices were surging
prior to pandemic. However, with the significant demand destruction due
to shutting down of cafes, restaurants & ice crème shops, milk prices
crashed & benefited in terms of margin expansion. Over a long period of

ICICI Securities – Retail Equity Research

time, the company has sufficient pricing power to pass on moderate
inflation immediately. We believe the operating margins territory should
remain upward
• In CY20, the company announced a dividend of | 196 /share, which is ~88%
dividend payout. Moreover, it has announced | 2600 crore capex for the
next three to four years, which would drive growth over the longer period
of time. We remain positive on the stock
