Sterlite Technologies shares cross Rs 1,000 mark, hit record high; here are fresh price targets 

Shares of Sterlite Technologies Ltd rose for the fifth session today, surging 21% in two days. The rally in the stock comes amid global investment firm Nomura assigning a Buy call on the stock with a target price of Rs 1,350. The stock has been gaining for five days. Strong industry tailwinds are expected to drive robust growth, Nomura said adding that it expects revenue/EBITDA CAGR of 50%/89% over FY26–29.

The brokerage is of the view that rapid data centre additions and constrained supply are driving an optical fibre cable demand supercycle. The company is well-positioned to benefit from strong optical fibre cable demand due to its integrated capacity.

The stock is overbought on charts with a RSI of 75.3. An RSI above 70 indicates a stock has more buyers than sellers in a trading session.

Sterlite Technologies shares rose 5% to a fresh record of Rs 1046.90 against the previous close of Rs 999.60. Market cap of the firm rose to Rs 53,667 crore.

Sterlite Technologies share price has risen 454% during the last six months and gained 920% in 2026.

The stock trades above its 5 day, 10 day, 20-day, 30 day, 50-day, 100-day and 200-day moving averages, which signals a strong uptrend. The stock has a beta of 1.28, indicating high volatility in a year.

Domestic brokerage firm Nirmal Bang institutional Equities has initiated coverage on Sterlite Technologies Ltd (STL) with a 40 per cent upside in the counter from its previous close.

Nirmal Bang expects Sterlite Technologies to benefit from a combination of improving demand, a recovery in earnings and a gradual shift towards higher-margin connectivity products. The brokerage views the company as an integrated optical connectivity player, with its optical networking business accounting for around 95% of overall revenue.

The brokerage estimates Sterlite Tech’s revenue could more than double in FY27, rising 103% year-on-year to Rs 9,625.6 crore, before increasing further to Rs 16,828.8 crore by FY29. The growth is expected to be supported by a sharp increase in optical fibre cable (OFC) volumes, which Nirmal Bang projects will rise from 32 million fibre-km in FY26 to 68 million fibre-km by FY29.

Profitability is also expected to improve significantly. Nirmal Bang sees EBITDA margin expanding to 23% in FY27 from 12.3% in FY26, while gross margin could improve to 52% from 49.7%. The brokerage also expects stronger realisations in the OFC business, with average realisation projected to increase from Rs 1,219 per fibre-km in FY26 to Rs 1,942 per fibre-km by FY29.

Brokerage Nuvama has a price target of Rs 1310 and an outperform call on the stock.

"We are raising FY27E EBITDA by 8% to factor in stronger visibility (we are currently 21% below FY29 EBITDA guidance). Reiterate ‘BUY’ with a Sep-27 TP of Rs 1,310 (earlier  Rs 1,100), based on 20x Sep-28 EV/EBITDA (implies 35x FY28E EPS). At CMP, the stock trades at 15.9x FY28E EV/EBITDA (on a fully diluted basis)," said Nuvama.
