BROKERAGE RADAR | ICICI Securities on NBCC
NBCC enjoys a unique business model and strong order book position. However, a delay in commencement of its key redevelopment projects and with a significant portion of the OB currently stuck up, execution has taken a backseat substantially. Hence, we cut our estimates significantly and now expect consolidated revenues to grow at a CAGR of 4.1% to Rs 10,784.1 crore in FY19-21E. Hence, we maintain HOLD recommendation on the stock with a target price of Rs 37/share (20x FY21E EPS).

1) market share improvement/retention, newer product launches, and distribution reach expansion; and
