RSWM Ltd: A Turnaround Play in Textiles?
CMP: Rs.132.35
Target: Rs.192.
RSWM Ltd (Rs.132.25), a microcap textile player, is undergoing a strategic transformation under CMD & CEO Riju Jhunjhunwala. While recent financial struggles (declining profits, high debt, stock underperformance) raise concerns, aggressive expansion into knitting fabrics and sustainability-focused textiles presents a turnaround opportunity.
With 12 manufacturing plants and recent acquisitions, RSWM is scaling up to improve margins and market share. But is this enough to overcome its financial headwinds?
RSWM’s acquisition of Ginni Filaments’ Chhata Unit increases yarn production by 55 tonnes/day, adding 80,016 spindles and 720 rotors. This strengthens its spinning and knitting operations, improving economies of scale.
An ₹80 crore investment in LNJ Knits positions RSWM in the $206 billion global knits market. With India’s knits share at just 4%, RSWM has strong growth potential.
A push toward sustainable textiles aligns with global demand.
Valuation appears attractive (EV/Capital Employed at 0.8x), but risks persist.
RSWM’s expansion strategy, acquisitions, and entry into premium textiles suggest a potential turnaround. However, high debt, weak profitability, and stock underperformance remain key risks.
