CLSA kept its ‘sell’ call on Tata Power stock with a target of Rs 205 per share. According to the research firm, the collapse in Indo coal profits drove a 4 percent on-year fall in the company’s profit before tax, while Q2 profit after tax improved on lower deferred taxes.

Further, Tata Power’s renewables IPP business has been hit by high rates, even as its EPC margin remains volatile. The Odisha discoms & expansion into pump storage remain the key for long-term positives, while weak coal prices are a key negative catalyst leading to risk to its EPS, CLSA said.

Goldman Sachs too has kept its ‘sell’ rating on Tata Power stock with a target of Rs 215 per share. It said that the imposition of section 11 of the electricity act until June 2024 should support earnings, despite the impact of coal price decline in H2. Goldman has raised FY24, FY25, FY26 EPS estimate by 16 percent; 14 percent; and 15 percent, respectively.

Morgan Stanley has maintained its ‘underweight’ rating on Tata Power stock with a target Rs 207 per share, despite an improvement in the core business reflecting better performance in Odisha discoms. Morgan Stanley sees improving wind PLF & execution, and improved margin in the solar EPC business.
