Construction Industry
The construction industry in India consists of the real estate as well as the urban development segment.
The real estate segment covers residential, office, retail, hotels, and leisure parks among others.
While the urban development segment broadly consists of sub-segments such as water supply, sanitation, urban transport, schools, and healthcare.
FDI in the construction development sector (township, housing, built-up infrastructure, and development sector) and construction (infrastructure) activities stood at $27.97 billion and $26.20 billion, respectively, between April 2000 and March 2022.
The construction industry in India is expected to reach $1.4 trillion by 2025.
The construction industry market in India works across 250 sub-sectors with linkages across sectors.
Specialty Chemical Sector
India’s high-value specialty chemical segment caters to agrochemicals, dye, food, and fragrance applications.
The specialty chemical segment will out-space Chinese companies and double its global market share from 3% in FY 2021 to 6% in FY 2026.
Demand for specialty chemicals is triggered by the rise in exports due to the shift in global supply chains driven by China and demand recovery in domestic segments.
China is losing its competitive edge due to increasing environmental costs and reduced government shops.
Demand in Q4FY2022 was subdued due to a few challenges such as omicron, supply chain challenges, and shop closure.
The management expects demand pick-up in the FY2023 led by a good monsoon, revival in the real estate industry, and higher government cape.
The company has taken 5%-15% price hikes so far and is closely watching the industry trends to take further price hikes, which will help to mitigate higher input costs.
The company added 10 new facilities in the last 2 years and 12 facilities are under construction. The CAPEX is planned to be 3%-5% of sales annually. Innovation is expected in both the growth and core categories, and the company plans to launch one new product in each category in the next 12-18 months.
Stock is trading above EMA 200 and MA 200 indicators, with a strong support level of ₹2,300 and a resistance level at ₹2,550.
One can accumulate this share at the current price.
In FY 2022, Pidilite Industries Limited’s revenue increased by 36.04% to ₹9,920.96 crores, compared to the previous year at ₹7,292.71. Profit After Tax increased by 7.16% to ₹1,206.76 crores compared to the last year at ₹1,126.13 crores.
The company is the largest player in the consumer adhesive and sealant industry.
Pidilite has a 70% market share in the adhesive business in India.
Having a well-established brand and the ability to customize the product portfolio provide the company with a competitive edge over an unorganized player.
The company has a healthy financial risk profile.
The company is net-debt free.
The company’s overseas subsidiaries have also given modest performance in FY 2022.
The company has seen higher than industry growth due to its strong brand equity, focus on innovation, and increase in distributor reach.
The company’s operating performance will remain strong due to business expansion plans, experience management, strong financial position, and brand image.
The company’s revenue has increased at a CAGR of 12% from FY 2018-2022.
The company has sustained healthy revenue growth and profit margins on a consolidated basis over the years with a consistent focus on quality, a diversified distribution network, and an innovative marketing style.
The company’s ROE and ROCE are 20% and 24%.
The company could face challenges like volatility in prices of raw materials and increased prices of crude oil.
We have taken data for the last five years (2018-2022) and forecasted revenue for FY 2023-2027. Revenue growth is assumed to be 13%.
