BQ Blue’s special research section collates quality and in-depth equity and economy research reports from across India’s top brokerages, asset managers and research agencies. These reports offer BloombergQuint’s subscribers an opportunity to expand their understanding of companies, sectors and the economy.

Prabhudas Lilladher Report

We cut our earnings per share estimates of Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. by 20%/9% for FY22/FY23 respectively as recovery in domestic ad-revenues has been delayed (ad-revenues in FY22 can more or less be a replica of FY20 versus earlier expectation of double digit growth).

Delayed recovery is likely to drag margins given the ongoing investment drive in digital, movies and linear TV (Hindi, Marathi and Tamil content to be revamped in Q2).

While there are near term headwinds on margins we remain positive on ZEE Entertainment given-

  1. strong position in Bengali, Kannada and Telugu markets

  2. likely emergence of ZEE5 as future growth engine in changing content consumption landscape (paid subscribers within digital domain to grow by ~4 times in five years) and

  3. undemanding valuations (stock trades at 12 times FY23EPS).
