The outlook for mobile phones has turned brighter after the company became an approved vendor under the PLI scheme and on rising volumes from OEMs such as Samsung, Motorola and Nokia. Dixon would also bid for PLI for AC components and LED bulbs. The staggered capex to be incurred for the PLI production (over five years) initially reduces the strain on the balance sheet.
After the FY21 results, Anand Rathi has raised our FY22e and FY23e revenue respectively 21% and 29%. However, Anand Rathi has lowered their FY22 margin expectation 19% due to mounting commodity prices and further clarity required regarding PLI for mobiles. The outlook for FY23, though, can brighten as revenue booking under PLI schemes could increase and higher contribution from home appliances segment, which have higher margins.
Dixon Technologies Key risks:
1) restrained demand for consumer durables in the home market
2) shortages of semiconductors and chips, critical inputs for all Dixon’s product categories, on demand shooting up with the roll-out of 5G technology
