Experts are placing bets because
- In the analysts’ meeting, EPL acknowledged that its profitability was impacted due to near-term challenges but it will achieve the target of double-digit profit growth.
- Keeping in view the challenges, it is revamping its business model and will aggressively raise prices, focus on increasing market share and control costs.
- EPL accounts for about 20 per cent of the global tube market and 33 per cent in the oral care market. However, only 10 percent in beauty and cosmetics and pharma i.e. personal care and 8 percent in food and industrials. In terms of cost, the prices of personal care tubes are about two to three times higher than that of oral care tubes, so the company sees a good opportunity to increase revenue in this. The company believes that while the revenue growth in oral care may remain in the high single digits, the growth in personal care may be in double digits.
- The company is expanding its business, due to which its profits will increase.
- Considering all these factors, analysts at ICICI Securities believe that the era of bad margins of the company is over and now its business will be strong. Because of this, its buy rating has been retained with a target price of Rs 225.
