ReNew Power stock rating reiterated at Outperform by Bernstein SocGen

Investing.com - Bernstein SocGen Group has maintained its Outperform rating on ReNew Power (NASDAQ:RNW) with a price target of $8.80, following a revised acquisition offer from a consortium of investors. The stock, currently trading at $7.56 and near its 52-week high of $7.67, has shown impressive momentum with an 11% gain over the past week.

The consortium, which includes Masdar, CPPIB, ADIA, and the company’s Founder, has increased its non-binding offer to $8.00 per share from the previous $7.07 per share after completing comprehensive due diligence of ReNew Energy. The $2.75 billion market cap company maintains impressive gross profit margins of 91%, though InvestingPro analysis indicates it operates with a significant debt burden.

Bernstein SocGen analyst Nikhil Nigania noted that the revised offer remains below the firm’s fair value assessment of $8.80 per share, adding that they had expected a higher offer given "strong interest in solar PV business which has been a sweetener to existing renewable development business."

The current shareholding structure shows that most investors are either hedge funds that entered specifically anticipating a take-private offer or long-only funds that invested in the $5-7 range, with the exception of a few funds that entered at higher prices during the SPAC listing.

Three entities—JERA, Franklin Resources (NYSE:BEN), and Rubric Capital—control approximately 60% of the non-consortium vote according to Bloomberg data, making them crucial to reaching the 75% threshold required for the offer to proceed.
