- Entertainment Network's (ENIL) Q1 FY18 results showed a decline, with sales down 9.6% year-over-year to Rs. 987 million and EBITDA margins falling to 11% from 21.6% in FY17 due to price hikes not being absorbed and increased employee costs.
- The analyst cuts FY18 and FY19 EPS estimates by 13-19% and lowers the target price to Rs. 780, citing weak H1 results and rich valuations. Recovery is hoped for in festival season sales in H2 but remains uncertain.
- The report maintains a "Sell" rating given expectations of a slow recovery in ENIL's core advertising
