Hero MotoCorp
Hero Motocorp had posted in line numbers for FY18. It has reported growth of 34.8% YoY in net profit in Q4FY18 while revenues increased by 24% YoY and EBITDA increased by 43.1% YoY. Gross margin was stable QoQ but other expenses rose sharply on a QoQ basis led by higher advertising and promotional expenses. Staff costs declined QoQ in 4QFY18 due to lower provisioning in gratuity payments.
The company has managed to keep gross margin stable despite steep hike in commodity costs in 4QFY18. In FY18, commodity costs impacted gross margin by 90 bps, YoY. Other expenses rose by 4% YoY in FY18, which offset the impact of deterioration in gross margin.
Hero has witnessed the decline in market share which is largely due to weaker presence in high-growth segments such as scooters and premium motorcycle. Hero might be able to maintain share in economy and executive bike segments. We believe margins would be stable in future due to price increases and cost controls will help offset the impact of higher commodity prices and increase in competitive intensity.

Umang Dairies | Rating: Buy
Umang Dairies, formerly known as JK Dairy and Foods, was incorporated in December 1992. It is a part of the JK Group, with the promoters holding 74.61% stake in the company. Umang Dairies is engaged in manufacturing milk products and processing / packaging liquid milk at its manufacturing facilities in Gajraula, Uttar Pradesh.
Umang Dairies has two plants — a drying plant and a liquid milk packaging plant. The drying plant, which was set up in 1994, has an installed capacity of 4.5 LLPD1, converting the liquid milk to milk powder and butter. The Company kept investing behind retail distribution expansion and up-gradation of distribution infrastructure as well as manpower to gain significant volumes in consumer products. The company has also launched three new products and tested waters in North East & North Bengal markets to fine tune of the offering.
All the three products, UHT Milk, Canned Paneer & Cow Ghee had a very good acceptance among the consumers and expect to gain wider and deeper distribution coupled with awareness building measures leading to significant volume and market share gains. We have a BUY rating on Umang Dairies.
