Take Stock Of The Week Ahead

Get all the latest Share Market trends and news to set you up for the week ahead.

Shares of Polycab India jumped back in the green on Tuesday after closing lower on Monday thanks to a major brokerage initiating coverage on the stock.

What Happened: UBS initiated coverage on the stock with a “buy” rating and a price target of ₹8,550. The target reflects around 29% upside from the stock’s last closing price of ₹6,616.90.

The brokerage firm said that the company has a strong position within the domestic electrification market, where it holds a 40% share. Polycab is poised to benefit from long-term cyclical growth in the cable and wire (C&W) segment, driven by the robust creation of low-voltage infrastructure in India, the analysts said.

The company’s competitive edge is reinforced by its extensive manufacturing capacity and leading market share, supported by a strong business-to-consumer network and significant business-to-business (B2B) scale, UBS added.

Polycab’s export business, which is distribution-led, presents additional growth opportunities in largely untapped international markets. The key near-term triggers for Polycab include better-than-expected domestic volume growth, market share gains within India, and an increase in export activities, according to the research firm.

UBS attributed Polycab’s business “dominance” to three main factors: its robust capacity expansion to serve a diverse range of customers, major investments in ramping up its distribution network and a strong focus on the institutional and B2B segments, which ensures its continued leadership in these markets.

Price Action: Polycab India’s share price was up 1.55% to trade at ₹6,719.25 shortly after market open on Tuesday.
