 Nuvama downgrades Hindalco shares to 'Hold':

Nuvama downgraded the stock to 'Hold' from its earlier 'Buy' rating, but raised its target price to Rs 838 apiece from Rs 757 apiece.

Equirus has also downgraded Hindalco to 'Reduce' from its earlier rating of 'Add'. It said that the risk-reward for the stock is turning unfavourable at 6.6 times one-year forward EV/EBITDA, CNBC-TV18 reported.

Jefferies noted that Novelis' net debt stood at a 21-quarter high. It is set to rise further with higher capex amid rising aluminium prices and fire impact, it said.

"The capex for the Bay Minette project has increased to $5 billion (from $4.1 billion earlier), with the IRR (internal rate of return) now expected to be in the high single digits (compared to the earlier double-digit estimate)...as a result, lower operating performance and higher capex intensity are likely to keep its leverage ratio elevated," ICICI Direct Research said, as quoted by Informist.

"We therefore expect the underperformance at Novelis operations to continue, with the recovery to $500/tonne EBITDA taking longer than expected...on that note, we remain cautiously optimistic on Hindalco, considering that Novelis accounts for ~60% of consolidated revenue and ~56% of EBITDA," ICICI Direct said.
