3. GNA Axles:

Angel Broking has given a 'Buy' recommendation for GNA Axles for the similar target price of Rs. 815 as before.

The company is one of the leading suppliers of rear axles to the Auto industry. The company majorly catering to the CV segment is likely to be biggest beneficiary of the revival in the space. Major portion of its revenue are accounted for by the exports market of as much as 60%.

"GNA is expected to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of strong growth outlook for truck sales in US and Europe markets which are witnessing strong recovery in demand. US which accounts for almost 40% of the company's revenues has been registering strong class 8 truck sales", says the report.

'The venture into the SUV axle would provide the company with new growth avenues while the recovery in the domestic CV cycle also bodes well for the company. At current level the stock is trading at a P/E multiple of 11.6x FY23E EPS estimate of Rs. 58", added the report.

4. Ashok Leyland:

This tractor player is also betted on for by Ashok Leyland for a target price of Rs. 158 per share. Ashok Leyland has a significant share in MHCV and the demand got severely impacted owing to multiple factors including changes in axel norms, increase in prices due to implementation of BS 6 norms followed by sharp drop in demand due the ongoing Covid-19 crisis.

Now even as MHCV segment has seen a pick-up, demand for buses shall remain low amid preference for personal mobility solution. "We believe that the company is ideally placed to capture the growth revival in CV segment and will be the biggest beneficiary of the Government's voluntary scrappage policy and hence rate the stock a BUY", says Angel Broking.
