The debt-ridden Vedanta Group has received upbeat commentary and an upward revision from analysts as the Anil Agarwal-owned firm tries to keep its ballooning debt under check and improve its earnings.

What Happened: Global brokerage firm CLSA has upgraded Vedanta shares from “sell” to “underperform” and raised the target price to ₹260 from ₹230. This decision comes as Vedanta guided an EBITDA target of $6 billion-$7.5 billion by FY25-27 through capacity expansion.

CLSA highlighted that the company’s capital allocation and corporate structure, along with operational parameters, will be crucial for re-rating. The brokerage firm emphasised the importance of monitoring the execution of growth and margin expansion projects.

Analysts at Motilal Oswal said the company was “well positioned to capture domestic growth story with
strong product portfolio”. The brokerage maintained a “neutral” rating on the stock and raised its target price to ₹270.

“Despite the near-term headwinds, the long-term demand prospects look positive,” Motilal Oswal said in the note.

Nuvama reiterated its “buy” rating on the stock and upwardly revised its target price of ₹394 from ₹371 earlier, supported by tailwinds from its demerger into six entities.

However, Kotak Securities still has a “sell” rating on the stock with a target price of ₹255. The brokerage was upbeat on Vedanta’s capacity expansion plans and growth opportunities across divisions. However, it expects lower dividends from the stock until FY26.

Price Action: Over the past three months, the mining company’s stock has surged by 13%, outperforming the benchmark Sensex, which rose by 10%.

Vedanta’s share price was up 0.19% at ₹264.40 around noon on Wednesday.
