The firm anticipates that the company will secure full tie-ups for its 23.7 GW of capacity currently under construction by next year. Meanwhile, CLSA has maintained an outperform rating on Dixon Technologies, with a target price of Rs 18,800, despite concerns regarding the company’s future earnings. HSBC and Jefferies have also provided positive outlooks for Tata Steel and BPCL, respectively, highlighting growth potential and strong earnings forecasts. Citigroup has recommended a buy on IGL, citing improved volume prospects amid Delhi’s air pollution crisis.
Adani Power’s Growth Prospects
Morgan Stanley’s optimistic outlook for Adani Power is based on the company’s ambitious plans to achieve a complete tie-up for its 23.7 GW of capacity under construction by next year. Analysts predict that the company will successfully reduce its current united capacity from 10% to a more manageable 3-4%. They estimate that, at current tariff levels, Adani Power’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) could reach Rs 3.7 per unit for new bids. The company’s capital expenditure (capex) is currently between Rs 95-100 million per megawatt, which is significantly lower than its peers, who average Rs 150 million per megawatt. This cost advantage is attributed to the company’s strategy of ordering advanced equipment and executing projects more swiftly.
Dixon Technologies Faces Challenges
CLSA has maintained an outperform rating on Dixon Technologies, setting a target price of Rs 18,800. However, analysts express concerns regarding the company’s future earnings per share (EPS) for FY27. The anticipated joint venture with Vivo, which is expected to contribute 20 million units to smartphone volumes, is still pending approval. Additionally, Dixon Technologies has yet to secure the necessary approvals to establish component facilities under the government’s Electronics Component Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS). The lack of visibility on medium-term growth prospects raises concerns among analysts, especially as the stock trades at a high multiple of 44 times earnings, despite significant delays in Vivo’s operations.
Tata Steel and BPCL Show Positive Outlooks
HSBC has issued a buy recommendation for Tata Steel, with a target price of Rs 215. Analysts believe that the revival of capital expenditure in India is a positive sign for both the steel industry and Tata Steel itself. The company is also engaged in multiple expansion projects across India, which further enhances its growth potential. While there may be near-term earnings pressure, analysts expect that the introduction of safeguard duties will provide additional support. Similarly, Jefferies has maintained its buy rating on Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), raising the target price from Rs 430 to Rs 435. The company is seen as well-positioned to benefit from refining strength, with a strong earnings outlook as crude oil prices remain below $70 per barrel.
IGL’s Position Amid Air Pollution Crisis
Citigroup has recommended a buy on Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL), setting a target price of Rs 260. Analysts highlight that Delhi’s ongoing air pollution crisis is driving the demand for clean energy solutions, which bodes well for IGL’s volume prospects. Concerns regarding the transition to electric vehicle (EV) cabs in Delhi have eased, as the government is adopting a more pragmatic approach. This includes plans to revise the vehicle aggregator scheme, allowing for more flexible transition timelines. As a result, IGL is expected to benefit from improved market conditions and regulatory support in the coming years.
