Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone (ADSEZ IN)

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone's (APSEZ) H1/22-23 results were moderately strong. The company reported robust earnings growth and margin expansion, supported by organic growth in cargo volumes and improved pricing. Leverage improved, as the company applied positive FCF towards debt reduction. That said, we expect slightly negative FY 2022-23 FCF, owing to higher full-year capex and the Haifa port acquisition.  We note APSEZ's continued aggressive growth ambitions, which would keep Net Debt/EBITDA at a moderate 3-4x. The company's intention to bid for the Container Corporation of India (valued at a hefty USD 5.8 bn) may present an event risk, though the impact on leverage would ultimately hinge on APSEZ's funding plans.
