    Hindalco shares will be in focus on May 7 after wholly owned subsidiary Novelis reported strong Q4FY24 numbers.

    Brokerages reiterated their bullish stance on the counter, saying that they find the valuation attractive and growth prospects improving.

    Jefferies shared a 'buy' call on Hindalco, raising the target price to Rs 810 per share . "We raise FY25-26E EPS by 2-3 percent and see valuations attractive, at 6.1x FY25E EV/EBITDA," the brokerage firm said.

    CLSA also shared a 'buy' call and gave a target price of Rs 770, seeing further levers of margin improvement for the company.

    "Novelis's profitability was above guidance, while volumes saw a modest uptick. We see further levers of margin improvement for Novelis, such as price revisions, rise in recycling content, and operational efficiencies. Novelis' debt-reduction is also in line with seasonality," the brokerage firm added.

    The company's net income rose by 6 percent year on year (YoY) to $166 million in Q4FY24, due to higher adjusted EBITDA, which climbed by 28 percent YoY to $514 million.

    This significant improvement was primarily driven by favourable recycling and lower operating costs than the corresponding period a year ago, said the management in an exchange filing.

    Novelis is a subsidiary of Hindalco Industries and the metals flagship company of the Aditya Birla Group.

    The stock of Hindalco has surged over 12 percent in the past one month, outpacing a 0.3 percent decline in the benchmark Nifty 50 index.

    Given the outperformance, analysts at Nuvama shared a 'hold' rating on the stock, seeing limited upside ahead. "We should wait for lower entry points to re-enter the stock," they said, hiking target price to Rs 651 from Rs 508 earlier.
