UBS View: Operational momentum sustains, retain BUY +91-22-6155 6066

While Q1 was impacted by logistical disruptions and strategic investments, Suzlon’s EPC

foray could lead to some near term nervousness. However, the broader growth outlook

remains healthy. We continue to view execution, order book momentum, and cash flow

conversion as key monitorables. We trim FY27/28/29e earnings by 9%/8/8% on lower

WTG margin assumptions. This yields a revised PT of Rs66 (vs. Rs72 earlier); maintain

BUY.
