Hindalco Share Price Target

The metal stocks, including Hindalco, are considered cyclical stocks, meaning the price performance of the stocks swings as per the business cycle of an economy. A cyclical stock moves up or down depending on economic growth trends. And Hindalco share price also reflects that trend.

In the short-term, inflationary pressure, fears of recessions, supply chain disruptions, and worsening geopolitical situations can impact global IMFs. As a result, the IMF’s world economic outlook forecasts that global economic growth will slow from 3.2 percent in 2022 to 2.7 percent next year.

However, despite the globalHindalco’s, Hindalco’s Q1 and FY 2023 performance look encouraging in terms of revenues from operations and EBITDA, with 40.28% and 34.16% year-on-year growth, respectively. Nevertheless, volatility and an uncertain business environment have continued to impact  Hindalco share price in the last six months.

Hindalco Share Price Future Growth Potential

Through investments in expanding domestic capacities and acquisitions over the years, Hindalco Industries has helped create a diversified business empire in upstream and downstream segments. In addition, the acquisitions have helped gain technological capabilities in manufacturing premium products. As a result, it has become the cash cow for the company. It is a significant development and can aid in appreciating Hindalco share price.

However, some notable threats can impact the company’s profitability and Hindalco share price in the short term. It includes the risk of global slowdown, falling commodity prices, and a rise in the cost of thermal coal over availability.

Better targeting of opportunities can reduce the impact of threats. For instance, India’s aluminium consumption is less than the global average, increasing demand for aluminum parts in automotive and expansion of the domestic manufacturing market through government initiatives can aid in the growth of Hindalco share price.

History of Tata Power

Tata Power was established as a Tata Hydroelectric Power Supply company in 1910. In 1915, the company set up India’s first hydroelectric power generation station at Khopoli with an installed capacity of 40 MW. Since then, the company has grown, contributing plenty of national firsts. For instance, it commissioned India’s first 150 MW thermal plant, India’s first multi-fuel burning generating station, India’s first cross-border hydropower project, commissioned the first 4000 MW mega power plant at Mundra, and more.

The company plans to increase its generation capacity from 13.5 GW to 30 GW in the next five years and reach a customer base of 40 million from the current 12 million. And the addition in capacity will mostly come from clean energy sources. By FY 2030, the company wants to increase its clean energy portfolio to over 80%.

In the next five years, 80% of the capital expenditure will be towards developing a clean and green portfolio. In FY 2023, the company aims to increase ROE to over 12% from 9.5% and reduce net debt/EBITDA to below 1.5 times.

With robust fundamentals, the company will benefit the most from the change in the power sector in India. As a result, many brokerage houses are bullish on the stock and have given an upward revision to Tata Power share price.

Tata Power Share Price- Future Growth Potential

India’s power demand is back above the pre-covid levels, and robust performance in all its business segments has helped Tata Power share price to recover and post substantial gains over the last three years. Some of the key reasons that can improve the company’s financials and increase Tata Power share price are:

  • Strong order book in solar rooftop installations and TPPSL’s large EPC order book of ₹15,261 crores at the end of Q2 FY 2023
  • Robust performance in the distribution business as the company has been able to reduce AT&C losses by a significant margin in all operating areas
  • Expanding its EV charging infrastructure with cumulative installations of 722 EV charges in Q2 and adding 38 cities to the network, taking the total number of cities to 475.

The key risk that threatens the company’s profitability is the increase in fuel costs in thermal generation plants, like the Mundra UMPP, that left the plant idle for a long time. However, the company’s increasing green and clean energy mix to over 80% of the portfolio will reduce risk significantly in the next three to five years, providing stable earnings. Also, sector-specific risks like poor financial conditions and creditworthiness of state-run DISCOMs can derail the sector’s growth, impacting Tata Power share price.
