Tata Power‘s share price jumped on Friday morning, going up over 3% to hit an intraday high of ₹438.20.
What Happened: UBS has initiated coverage on the energy major with a “buy” rating on Tata Power, setting the target price at ₹510.
The brokerage firm cited the company’s robust EBITDA growth and its commitment to renewable energy as reasons for the bullish rating. The company’s value chain includes renewable power generation, solar equipment manufacturing, large-scale solar engineering, procurement and construction projects and pumped storage.
The brokerage said the renewables sector gives the company opportunities to expand on the back of increasing climate concerns and shortages. The analysts added that the company’s current valuation is reasonable given the size of the opportunities it had as well as its position at the forefront of the market.
