From Faux Leather to Real Margins – Is Mayur Uniquoters Finally Ready to Unfold?

🟡 At a Glance

A synthetic leather kingpin that supplies to global auto majors, Mayur Uniquoters has quietly stitched together a profit recovery while investors focused on flashier FMCG names. From sluggish domestic growth to a sizzling export engine, Mayur’s journey is more than just PVC and PU—it’s a full-blown ROCE revival.


📦 1. Business Model: Artificial Leather, Real Aspirations

  • Mayur manufactures PVC & PU-coated fabrics, with 400+ variants.
  • Application spread:
    • 👞 Footwear (largest segment)
    • 🛋️ Furniture and furnishings
    • 🚗 Automotive OEMs (domestic & export)
    • 👜 Fashion & accessories
  • Operates under B2B model—no direct brand play (except furnishings under Texture & Hues).
  • Exports to global auto giants like Ford, Chrysler, BMW, and GM.

So basically: If your car seat feels like leather but costs half, chances are it’s Mayur.

EPS (₹)17.7919.9718.9224.4527.2032.08
ROCE (%)18%18%16%18%19%21%

📌 Despite flat revenue in FY24, profits grew 17.7%, thanks to rising exports and better mix.


🧵 3. FY25: Export Mojo & Margin Glow-Up

Mayur’s Q4 FY25 had:

  • 📈 Sales: ₹214 Cr
  • 💰 Net Profit: ₹35 Cr
  • 🧮 OPM: 21% — highest in 12 quarters

Export orders picked up significantly, especially from US-based auto OEMs.

  • Analyst call guided 15–20% profit growth in FY26
  • Also exploring new geographies in Europe & ASEAN

Meanwhile, their Indian operations (footwear + furniture) stayed sluggish.


💸 4. Balance Sheet & Cash Flow

  • Almost debt-free: Just ₹9 Cr borrowings on ₹1,046 Cr assets
  • Cash from ops in FY25: ₹159 Cr
  • Invested ₹68 Cr—mostly capex for automation & backward integration
  • ROCE improved from 16% to 21% in 2 years

👀 Working Capital Days: 232 (ouch), due to high inventory & slow payers.


🛡️ 5. Management, Promoter Moves & Shareholding

  • Promoter holding: 58.59% (steady)
  • FII stake: rising from 1.3% → 3.34% over 3 years ✅
  • DII stake falling—institutions haven’t fully bought the export growth story yet

👔 KMP: Ajay Agarwal (MD) has been laser-focused on exports and premiumization. No major pledging or insider drama.


📊 6. Valuation & Fair Value Range (FY26E)

  • CMP: ₹558
  • FY25 EPS: ₹32.08 → Likely FY26 EPS: ₹36–38
  • Assigning fair P/E: 18–20x (based on avg of last 5 years and peer group)

🎯 Fair Value Range = ₹648 to ₹760

CaseEPS (FY26E)P/ETarget Price
Base₹3618x₹648
Bull₹3820x₹760

🧠 EduTake: Stock is reasonably valued at 17.4x trailing P/E, with a margin upgrade cycle and export kicker in play.


🤔 7. Edu Verdict: Real Leather? No. Real Value? Maybe.

  • ✅ Near debt-free
  • ✅ Consistent profit growth
  • ✅ ROCE improving
  • ❌ Domestic growth weak
  • ❌ Working capital bloated

Bottomline? If Mayur Uniquoters were a couch, it would look premium, feel soft, and probably last 5 years — but you’d still check if it’s made in China.

🎯 If exports keep rising and margin discipline holds, this stock could deliver 15–20% CAGR with low volatility.
