Optimism in MGL stock appears fully priced in

The distributor raised prices by ₹1.50 per kilogramme (kg) for CNG, bringing the price up to ₹75 per kg, including taxes. Domestic PNG prices were hiked from ₹1 per standard cubic meter (SCM) to ₹48 per SCM, inclusive of taxes.

MGL also hosted its analyst meet in June, highlighting a strong FY24 performance, and gave guidance of a 5-year volume CAGR of 6-7 per cent (standalone) versus 5 per cent during FY19-24 and around 10 per cent CAGR for recently acquired subsidiary Unison Enviro Private Limited (UEPL). The management indicated a focus on infrastructure creation with a capex target of ₹1,000 crore for FY25, split between standalone and UEPL at ₹800 crore and ₹200 crore, respectively. APM (administered pricing mechanism) based gas allocation is around 70 per cent of priority volume now and the shortfall is met via HP-HT gas.
