Motilal Oswal View on Marico
After achieving a sales CAGR of ~6% over FY15-20, the sales momentum has been better now than that in the past, with double-digit sales CAGR expected over FY20-24. This is likely to sustain beyond FY24 as well, led by: a) the ongoing revenue growth momentum in each of MRCO’s core segments, b) significantly higher growth rates as well as targets in the Foods portfolio, and c) the INR4.5-5b targeted from its ‘digital first’ range of products.
The much-needed diversification can lead to higher multiples than that in the past. Valuations at 52x/42.3x FY23E/FY24E EPS appear inexpensive, given the potential of strong earnings growth (v/s earlier) and a healthy RoE in the late 30s. We maintain our Buy rating on the stock with a Target Price of Rs 620.

Prabhudas Lilladher View on State Bank of India
We recently interacted with the management to understand 1) credit outlook, 2) changes in credit appraisal 3) asset quality view and 4) opex trajectory. The bank is optimistic on loan growth, as improving economic activity and tight liquidity may support its credit offtake.
New proposals and unavailed limits within corporate total to Rs 6trn, while retail momentum might continue. With cash flows normalizing for SMEs, the ECLGS/OTR pools are also performing well.
Underwriting has strengthened with induction of non-sales personnel in credit appraisal and robust credit research across 36 sectors.
Asset quality may remain under control and target is to keep credit costs below 1%. While we slightly tweak our estimates, we expect a core PAT CAGR of 20% over FY22-25E. Retaining the multiple at 1.4x, we roll forward to core Sep’24 ABV, raising SOTP based Target Price from Rs 620 to Rs 650. Maintain ‘BUY’.
