Price Performance

Basis of our Recommendation

Apollo Tyres is navigating a complex landscape characterized by inflationary pressures and strategic restructuring, particularly in its European operations. Management's focus on premiumization and capacity expansion in India is expected to drive long-term growth, despite near-term margin challenges due to rising raw material costs. The company's strong competitive position, with a stable market share and double-digit volume growth, supports Vista's forecast of stable revenue growth and margins. However, the ability to pass on cost increases and potential demand moderation in the latter half of FY27 are critical watchpoints. Overall, while the outlook remains cautiously optimistic, the execution of strategic initiatives will be pivotal in sustaining profitability and achieving long-term targets. The expected upside aligns with a fair valuation, reflecting the balance between growth potential and current market challenges

Analysts' Viewpoint
Apollo Tyres is leveraging strategic restructuring in Europe, including the closure of its Dutch plant and the ramp-up of Hungarian capacity, to enhance long-term profitability. In India, the company benefits from strong market share gains in key segments, supported by a robust capex plan aimed at sustaining medium-term growth. Analysts note challenges from raw material cost inflation and transitional restructuring costs, but anticipate margin improvements from H2FY27. The successful execution of price hikes and European restructuring are critical to achieving targeted EBITDA margins.
