ICICI Securities Report

Greenpanel Industries Ltd. has been trading at benign valuations ever since its listing in October 2019 (post its demerger from Greenply Industries Ltd.) largely attributed to demand and pricing headwinds in the medium-density fibreboard (MDF) category and large capex (Rs 7.9 billion) committed on its Andhra Pradesh project leading to under-utilisation of its MDF assets and muted profitability.

However, with faster-than-expected demand recovery in MDF category (which also seems sustainable) post Covid-19 breakout, the company may sweat its capacities much faster than envisaged earlier.

Besides, delay in greenfield MDF projects of Century Plyboards India Ltd. and Rushil Decor, coupled with stable MDF pricing and its recently initiated productivity enhancement and cost control measures at its MDF units, may drive significant improvement in its profitability going forward.
