Paramount stock rises after FCC approves Skydance merger
Investing.com - Axis Capital (NYSE:AXS) initiated coverage on Siemens (ETR:SIEGn) Energy India (ENRIN:IN) with a reduce rating and a price target of INR2,528.00 on Monday, citing valuation concerns despite strong growth prospects.
The brokerage expects Siemens Energy India’s revenue to accelerate to approximately 20% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over fiscal years 2024-2027, significantly higher than the 4.5% and 10% CAGRs recorded over the past three and six fiscal years respectively.
Axis Capital projects the company’s EBITDA margin to improve to 19.0%, in line with industry peers, though it noted that license fees to parent companies remain a drag and that the 5MFY25 margin of 22% appears "deceptively high."
The research firm forecasts a 30% earnings per share CAGR for FY24-27E and a return on equity of approximately 25% by FY27, which it describes as "promising" but already reflected in the current valuation of 66x fiscalized March 2027 price-to-earnings ratio.
Axis Capital’s price target of INR2,528 represents a multiple of 60x June 2027 estimated P/E, compared to competitors GEVT&D at approximately 55x and Hitachi (OTC:HTHIY) Energy at around 66x P/E ratios.
