commodity business by providing funding facilities to market participants
against a collateral of stocks. Partial repayment of its debt would add value to
the bottom line too.
There is no comparable listed entity in the agri-commodity logistics space to
benchmark the valuation but the leading integrated general logistic companies
are trading currently at 20-25x their FY2017E earnings and 12-15x their FY2017E
EBITDA. Given that the business is small and centred around agri-commodities,
the market is likely to value SSL at a discount to the leading logistic companies.
Nevertheless, given the strong earnings growth ahead and its ability to generate
RoE of 20-25%, SSL could fetch market capitalisation of around Rs1,000-1,200

valuation of SSL in our SOTP valuation, we revise upward our price target for
KPTL to Rs280 and retain our Buy rating.
