Jefferies has initiated coverage on GMR Airports Ltd. with a 'buy' recommendation and a price target of ₹100, implying a potential upside of 15% from current levels. The brokerage firm believes that GMR Airports is evolving from a utility to a retail consumption play and will benefit from the strong growth outlook in air traffic, travel retail opportunity, a hike in aero tariffs, and unlocking the real estate opportunity.
A further re-rating, according to Jefferies, will be supported by more simplification of the group's corporate structure, better leverage ratios, and Groupe ADP's backing. The presence of ADP, both at the strategic and the board level, will help GMR's fund-raising capabilities, project execution, and bidding capabilities.
Jefferies expects passenger cap at the Hyderabad airport to increase from 12 million to 34 million, while GMR's Goa Airport is also in the middle of a ramp-up. The brokerage expects passenger traffic to grow at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11% over financial year 2024 - 2027.
Near tripling of the aero traffic at the Delhi airport between financial year 2025 - 2029, higher tariffs at the Hyderabad airport, and new tariffs taking effect at the Goa airport will all contribute to the topline and the company's EBITDA growth over financial year 2024 - 2027.
