JPM on Polycab
OW TP Rs 10000
UTCEM’s official launch a sentiment negative, but meaningful business impact unlikely
Absolute capex committed so far being much lower than approved capex (Rs888cr vs overall approval for Rs1,800cr)
With primary focus being residential wires (30% of Polycab/KEI’s revenue mix), do not anticipate a meaningful medium-term business impact & would view any meaningful correction, especially towards 3-year trough valuations of 31-32X, as a buying opportunity
Once UTCEM’s entry is digested focus will likely shift back to fundamentals, which in view remain reasonably strong for sector
Key monitorables over the next few weeks would be pricing and channel margins/incentives being offered by UTCEM

Kotak Inst Eqt on NTPC
Upgrade to ADD, TP Rs 365
NTPC’s stock has corrected 20% since May 2026 & has remained largely rangebound over past three years
NTPC’s stock price movement in recent years has moved along broader investment narratives of energy security or increased power demand that have remained short-lived on the back of modest earnings growth
Recent price correction may be excessive with valuations having come off (1.5X P/B on 2027E) as improved project execution could aid earnings growth in the medium term.
NTPC’s long-term capacity targets of 151/250 GW by FY2032/37E would entail strong capex of Rs16.9 tn (43% renewable) over next decade, while under-construction capacity (35.7 GW) will help propel earnings growth in near term.

Kotak Inst Eqt on GMR Airports
Recommendation Buy, TP Rs 121
Marginally raise TP following the Hyderabad Airport tariff order, which benefits from upfront recognition of capex at a higher allowed cost of capital
Also view recent credit rating upgrades positively, as they materially reduce refinancing risk for 5% of consolidated debt maturing by February 2027
CMP implies sub-5% downside over next year, assuming only value of existing concessions, & a 25% upside in KIE base case—assumes reinvestment of cash, third-party business in duty-free & value of legal cases.
