Technical Outlook
A look at the long term price chart reveals that the share price of Dabur
India Ltd remains in a healthy uptrend, consistently forming higher peaks
and troughs on the weekly charts.
Over the past couple of years, the stock has ranged between | 90 and
| 120 providing ample entry and exit opportunities for medium term
traders. This consolidation range has held steady despite the overall
weakness in the broader indices during 2010-2011.
Even the recent steady up move from the January 2012 lows of | 92-95
started from the lower band of the consolidation range. An important
observation on the price charts is that the stock has recently witnessed a
positive crossover in the medium term (50 DMA) and long term moving
averages (200 DMA). In technical parlance, such an event is termed as a
Golden Cross, indicating a shift in momentum in favour of bulls from a
medium-term perspective.
On Thursday, the stock price breached out of the past seven week’s
consolidation range with volume spurt indicating positive momentum
We expect prices to continue the northward journey and head towards
the upper band of the consolidation range to re-test its all-time high of
|123 over the medium term. We recommend accumulating the stock in
the range of | 109-106 for a target of | 122.80 with a protective stop loss
in place at | 100.80.
Fundamental Outlook
Currently, the stock is trading at 28.6x and 23.6x its FY12E and FY13E EPS
of | 3.7 and | 4.5, respectively. With very strong growth in the
international business (37.8% YoY in Q3FY12) and strengthening of its
presence in the Middle East, we believe international business sales
would continue to drive Dabur's topline growth significantly.
Further, with the revival in slow growth categories like shampoos and
sustainable growth in foods categories (especially juices), the company's
performance is likely to remain robust in FY13E. Going ahead, we expect
margins to improve by FY13E as raw material pressure will subside in two
or three quarters. Hence, we maintain our BUY rating and target price of
| 120.
