Jubilant FoodWorks: Reduce
CMP: Rs 1,320
Target Price: Rs 1,050
Domino’s Pizza Inc reported its Q3CY19 earnings, below expectations. the chain of restaurants operating in the similar space indicates that Q2FY20 saw sequential decline in Same-Store-Sales (SSS) growth with some volume up-tick during Navaratri festival.
The foray of Amazon and Dunzo into food delivery business is an added disruption to the delivery moat of Jubilant FoodWorks. Taking cues from its performance of international operations, we do not expect JUBI to report beyond 5-6% SSS growth in 2QFY20. FY20E is expected to be the year of moderation in SSS with higher investments across the businesses.
Slower headline growth is likely to keep operating margin under pressure, which may further lead to download trajectory of RoE. Such scenario is likely to keep the valuation multiples under check.
At current market price, Jubilant Foodworks trades at 45x of FY21E earnings. Valuing at PE multiple of 36x FY21E, we reiterate our recommendation to reduce the holdings on the stock with an unrevised Target Price of Rs 1,050, which implies 20% downside from the current level.
Domino’s Pizza Q3CY19 Earnings – Key Highlights
US SSS grew by 2.4% YoY vs. expectation of 2.8%, while International SSS grew by 1.7% YoY vs. consensus expectation of 2.9%.
Domino Pizza announced new 2-3 year outlook (vs. earlier 3-5year) given faster changing market dynamics and uncertainty arising from new entrants into quick service food delivery segment.
Sales growth range for the next 2-3 years is seen at 7-10% (from 8-12% earlier). US SSS growth guidance now stands at 2-5% (from 3-6% earlier) and international SSS growth is seen 1-4% (. from 3-6% earlier).
The revised guidance in international markets reflects longer-than-expected weakness in some of the key markets.
Thus, the company has lowered its outlook than envisaged earlier mainly driven by the ongoing competitive intensity.
As per the estimate, India retail sales account for 7-8% of Domino Pizza’s total international retail sales (US $6,953, as on December 2018). Notably, India has the highest stores among the Top-10 international markets for the company.
Jubilant FoodWorks Ltd, which operates fast-food chains Domino’s Pizza and Dunkin’ Donuts, on Wednesday reported a marginal decline in its ...Jubilant FoodWorks Q1 net profit dips marginally to Rs 71.48 cr
