Anand Rathi's research report on Kalpataru Projects

KPIL reported ~Rs57.8bn revenue in Q3FY26 (vs. our estimate of ~Rs56.6bn), led by strong momentum in T&D, B&F, Oil & Gas and Urban Infra. PBT margin improved 31bps y/y due to: (a) 70% of OB – B&F and T&D – operate at double digit margin; and (b) lower finance cost led by improved net debt position. Ongoing inflow momentum, healthy execution and operating profit and capex led to satisfactory performance in 9MFY26, which is likely to continue in FY27. Strong prospects in T&D and B&F, and its segment-presence are the auguries. Efforts to trim NWC and divest non-core assets imply financial prudence.

Outlook

Upwardly revising our revenue estimate by ~5/9% for FY27/28e, we upgrade our rating on the stock to BUY with an upwardly revised TP of Rs1,408 (from Rs1,351 earlier), valuing it at 19x FY28e EPS.
