SBICap last week said, “we expect growth to normalize with 20% CAGR over FY18e-20e and hence, argue for a multiple de-rating to 25xPE (from 32x). They added, “We draw parallels from Harley Davidson, a similar cult biking brand, to demonstrate the possibility of such de-rating.”

Edelweiss Financial Services interacted with Royal Enfield dealer in Lucknow, Mumbai and Bengaluru to get some demand flavour.
From their interaction the agency noted down six pointers. They are:
- Gun Metal Grey (GMG), launched in September 2017, now accounts for 25-35% of Classic 350 sales. In Bengaluru, the share was as high as 70%.
- Brand appeal intact, but model fatigue leading to volume slowdown in certain markets.
- Robust demand for new variants leading to higher waiting period across Classic 350.
- GMG & Thunderbird X (launched in February 2018) are priced 7-10% higher, implying better realisation & gross margin.
- No inventory pile up—dynamic booking system ensures dispatches only against advance booking.
- RE is sharpening focus on after sales & service.
