Investment Rationale
Financial closure of Namami Ganga project and pick-up in domestic execution provide growth visibility. The stress on working capital continues and provision towards doubtful debtors is likely to limit margin upside. Order prospects are promising, which is likely to support FY23E earnings; hence the brokerage maintains HOLD with a revised target price of Rs307 (previously: Rs225). It has rolled forward target valuation to FY23E from Sept’22 earnings and increased target multiple to 12x from 10x factoring in improved growth visibility and healthy cash flows.
