Brokerage Ventura has initiated coverage on the stock with a price target of Rs 1739.
Ventura expects earnings growth to outpace revenue growth, led by a favourable mix shift toward high-margin segments.
"We expect EBITDA / net profit to grow at a CAGR of 16.8% / 18.2% to INR 673 cr/488 cr over FY25–FY28E, with EBITDA margins expected to increase by 22 bps to 13.0% and net margins improving by 48 bps to 9.4% by FY28E. Improving profitability and capital efficiency are reflected in RoE expanding from 13.8% in FY25 to 14.7% by FY28E, underscoring the strength of WABAG’s asset-light, technology-driven business model," said Ventura. Brokerage Motilal Oswal is bullish on the stock with a price target of Rs 1,900.
"The outlook for strong free cash flow (FCF) generation , a net cash status and expansion in return ratios makes the scrip attractive at 17 times/~14 times FY27E/28E P/E. We, thus, reiterate BUY rating and a TP of Rs 1,900, based on 26x FY27E P/E (~+1SD on an improved outlook)," said the brokerage.
