RBI's embargo on new business by Asirvad could hurt profits materially and for longer.
The company could face a rise in funding costs and could have to support Asirvad with funding. A loan growth moderation could also be faced, however, tighter credit practices and higher provisioning are likely to give comfort to all stakeholders. Despite this and earnings cuts at the standalone entity, standalone valuation remains cheap.
However, Morgan Stanley believes that the investor interest could take long to return. Jefferies on Havells: Hold| Target price: Rs 1,870 Jefferies maintained a hold rating on Havells India but cut the target price to Rs 1,870 from Rs 1,880. Margin miss has offset healthy sales growth, which was led by C&W, ECD and Lloyd, but Switchgears and Lighting segments were tepid.
Festive offtake has started on a positive note but margins in many segments declined due to A&P advancement due to a shift in the festive season and volatile commodities. Jefferies has cut FY25-27 EPS by 4-5%, and now estimates +19% EPS CAGR. Macquarie on Wipro: Outperform| Target price: Rs 670 Macquarie maintained an Outperform rating on Wipro with a target price of Rs 670.
The revenue and EBIT beat but the PAT was in-line. The global brokerage firm believes that the company could have hoped for a better revenue guidance in Q3 given the strong deal wins, which the management suggested was largely due to furloughs.
