      What we like:<\/strong>  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      1. The current export market is underserved: <\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Royal Enfield  launched Super Meteor-650 in Europe, which will now soon be launched in APAC and the Americas. So far, the company has dispatched ~4K+ Super Meteor-650 in the exports market. Meteor has received a good response and RE is now ramping up its production. The Hunter 350 has been launched across APAC, Europe and America. In the international market, the company has third-party stores with 1,150+ touchpoints which include 207 exclusive stores and 950+ multi-brand retail outlets. RE currently has only ~8-9% market share in the midsize segment across the key international markets, while the addressable market size is huge with a potential market size of ~1m units (currently exporting only 100K units). The current export market is underserved and RE has a huge headroom to grow in future. The company is focussing on getting the right product to the global market, like RE has brought Classic 350 in J platform, Hunter 350, Super Meteor 650 and refresh on twins platform motorcycles on Continental GT and Interceptor-650 to the global markets. In FY23, the export market revenue stood at Rs 2,080 Cr (14.4% of total revenue).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        1. Strong Brand and Market Position:<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Eicher Motors’ Royal Enfield brand enjoys a strong and iconic status in the motorcycle industry. Royal Enfield motorcycles have a loyal customer base and a distinct positioning, particularly in the leisure and adventure motorcycle segment. Investing in Eicher Motors allows investors to capitalize on the brand’s popularity and market position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          1. Consistent Financial Performance:<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Eicher Motors has demonstrated a track record of consistent financial performance over the years. The company has achieved robust revenue growth and maintained healthy profitability margins. Its ability to generate consistent earnings provides investors with a sense of stability and potential for long-term returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            1. CV upcycle to continue in FY24:<\/strong> <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Management expressed confidence in the possibility of the double-digit growth of the CV industry to continue in FY24. Management said that the CV volumes in FY23 are still lower<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              than the earlier peak of FY18-19. CV industry upcycle will likely continue as <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              1.  The replacement market is going to be very strong as old trucks are not able to meet the customer demand towards efficiency. <\/li>
              2. Heavy Duty trucks will continue to grow led by infra push also their earlier peak of 295K units is yet to surpass as total sales stood at only 247K units in FY22.<\/li>
              3. The light and Medium duty trucks have also not reached their earlier peak.<\/li>
              4. For buses, the market demand from the state transport undertaking will be strong as they have got an old fleet, also the demand from the school segment is becoming strong for light and medium-duty buses. Demand slowdown is only in the export markets mostly in Bangladesh, Nepal and Srilanka. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                5. Experienced Management Team: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Eicher Motors has an experienced management team that has successfully navigated the company through various challenges and opportunities. The management’s strategic vision, operational expertise, and prudent decision-making contribute to the company’s growth and sustainability. Investing in a company with a capable leadership team can instill confidence in investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Factors to consider:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                1. Macroeconomic headwinds driving lower exports for longer could pose a downside risk.<\/li>
                2. Weak rural demand impacting the 2W market for FY24\/25E.<\/li>
                3. Interest rate hikes may result in delaying purchases from the consumer end.<\/li>
                4. Significant increase in competition to hurt growth momentum.<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
