Power Grid stock rating upgraded to Neutral by BofA on fair valuation

Investing.com - BofA Securities upgraded Power Grid Corp of India Ltd (NS:PWGR) from Underperform to Neutral on Sunday, setting a price target of INR292.00.

The upgrade follows a period of significant underperformance, with Power Grid shares declining 22% over the past year compared to a 7% drop in the Nifty index. BofA Securities noted this underperformance occurred as investors began pricing in commissioning delays that the firm had been highlighting since 2023.

The research firm pointed out that market valuations for Power Grid have contracted by 30%, falling from 3.4x two-year forward price-to-book ratio to 2.4x currently. This valuation level now sits slightly above one standard deviation from the mean.

BofA Securities believes the current valuation appears fair given Power Grid’s projected financial metrics, including 6% earnings per share growth, 10% book value growth, and 16% return on equity over fiscal years 2025-2027, along with a 3% dividend yield.

The firm made modest adjustments to its estimates while acknowledging the company faces a "volatile macro" environment.
