Allied Blenders & Distillers (ABD) is strategically pivoting towards premiumization, which is expected to drive significant revenue growth and enhance margins over the next few years. Management's focus on expanding its Prestige & Above (P&A) portfolio, particularly with products like ICONiQ White, is anticipated to contribute to mid-teens revenue growth and a target EBITDA margin of approximately 18% by FY28. However, the company faces challenges from rising packaging costs and geopolitical disruptions that may pressure margins in the near term. The successful execution of backward integration projects, including new distilleries, is expected to improve operational efficiencies and reduce costs, supporting long-term profitability. Additionally, favorable regulatory changes, such as the India-UK Free Trade Agreement, could provide further upside. Overall, while ABD is well-positioned for growth, it must navigate potential risks from fluctuating input costs and regulatory changes. Over the next 12-24 months, key opportunities include the successful launch of new premium products and expansion into international markets, while watchpoints include the impact of inflation on raw materials and state-level policy changes affecting pricing
