Atlas Cycle Industries
“If rural spend increases on good monsoon, Cycles a theme worth betting on”
Key Triggers :
a) Atlas Cycle closed its Malanpur loss making factory. Post the closure it has two plants, one plant at Sonepat Haryana and other at Sahibabbad in UP
b) Atlas to dispose the Malanpur factory land and generate cash according to media reports. It will become significantly low on debt post Land Bank Deal
c) Atlas Cycle has potential to do 700 odd crore of sales and a better sales mix will drive margin going forward. Cycle stocks will be strong rerating candidates based on spends and the stock has not been in limelight for last two years and last two years were definitely challenging for rural spend.
Valuation Matrix
The market capitalization of Atlas is appx. 72 crore . Expected Sales 700 odd crores for next fiscal . Thus the stock trades at market cap to sales of 0.1 times. Given we all know what is Atlas Cycle as the brand its too low of Brand Equity market is paying. The stock used to be 350 rs stock when Monsoons were good and the decision to shut down loss making unit will curtail all the losses going forward.
Even if company does some 3% margin the ebitda of the company will be 21 odd crores. Foray into high range bicycle will mean better realizations. The enterprise value that we pegging post Land Bank sell should not be more than 120 crore ~ roughly 45 crore of debt and 75 crore of Equity . Thus translating into EPS of 12 rs and 16 rs for FY17 & FY18 .
Interestingly the company charges 6 crore of depreciation which results in appx 18 per share of Cash Charge per share. Technically one is getting the company doing Cash EPS of 30 rs at price of 220 with Brand Equity of Atlas Cycle a popular rural name.
We recommend this stock to BUY at Rs 220 with a target price of Rs 270-330.
Risk and Concerns
Cycle business so far has not seen great traction for investors as it has limited growth potential but when sentiments change for sector and there is expected turnaround such stocks tend to give quick returns. Though we maintain positive view on the stock would suggest to book half in the range of 260-270 and ride the rest for 330. Our recommendations of some decent brand equity likes of Mirza International, Lloyd , IFB others had similar concept either they were trading at dismal market cap to sales or had high potential earnings.
