The firm’s net profit jumped 37 percent to Rs 95 crore in Q4, higher from Rs 69.4 crore reported during the year-ago period.

    Should you buy, sell, or hold Gravita India shares?

    Suggesting a ‘buy’ rating, Nuvama Institutional Equities' analysts proposed a target price of Rs 3,067, estimating a 38 percent volume CAGR and stable margins in the range of 10–11 percent, to support 27 percent EPS CAGR over FY25–27E.

    Motilal Oswal also holds a positive outlook, terming Gravita India as “a leading player” in India’s rapidly expanding recycling industry, reiterating a ‘buy’ tag on the stock with a target price of Rs 2,300.

    The brokerage posited that the firm is well-positioned to deliver strong earnings growth over the medium term, owing to its strategic capacity expansion across verticals and geographies, an increased focus on value-added products, higher growth in new segments (rubber), and increased domestic scrap availability, driven by favorable regulatory tailwinds.

    Domestic brokerage Emkay also maintained its ‘buy’ call, maintaining its target price at Rs 2,100.The brokerage however expects a profitability boost from Gravita’s Mundra project. Profitability is expected to remain balanced, with 40–50 percent from overseas and 50–60 percent from domestic operations.
