BROKERAGE VIEW:: Anand Rathi Shares on Kalpataru Power

Despite Covid disruptions, Kalpataru Power posted better-than-expected results. Its healthy order book and execution ramp-up at various sites helped management remain upbeat and maintained its 5-10% revenue growth and 10.5-11% EBITDA margin guidance for FY21. Also, it is confident of bagging orders of `90bn-100bn. In accordance with the better-than-expected Q1 and healthy order backlog of Rs 135bn, we have raised our revenue and margin. The ongoing monetisation of transmission assets is likely to significantly de-lever the balance sheet. We maintain a Buy with a higher sum-of-parts-based TP of Rs 385 (earlier Rs 344).
