Morgan Stanley adjusts Suzlon rating from Overweight to Equalweight


Morgan Stanley adjusted its stance on Suzlon Energy (SUEL:IN), downgrading the stock from Overweight to Equalweight, while simultaneously increasing the price target from INR73.00 to INR88.00. The changes reflect the firm's reassessment of the company's position following a significant share price increase over the past six months.

Suzlon Energy's shares have seen an impressive rally, surging 106% in the last half-year and outperforming the Nifty index by 78 percentage points. This robust performance is attributed to a substantial growth in the company's order book and an enhanced balance sheet, coupled with improved cash flow from operations.

Despite the positive developments, Morgan Stanley now views the risk-reward balance for Suzlon Energy as being more even. The firm suggests that the current valuation fully reflects the company's recent advancements. This reassessment prompts a more cautious stance, as the firm recommends waiting for stronger execution beyond their base case scenario before adopting a more optimistic outlook on the stock.

The price target uplift to INR88.00, despite the downgrade, suggests that Morgan Stanley acknowledges the strides Suzlon has made in strengthening its financials and market position. However, the change to an Equalweight rating indicates a neutral view, implying that the stock might now be fairly valued at its current levels.

Investors in Suzlon Energy will likely monitor the company's forthcoming performance closely, especially in terms of execution, to see if it aligns with Morgan Stanley's revised expectations.

The focus will be on whether Suzlon can continue to capitalize on its improved order book and maintain the positive cash flow trend that has been pivotal to its recent success.
