These reports offer NDTV Profit’s subscribers an opportunity to expand their understanding of companies, sectors and the economy.

Anand Rathi Report

Broadly in line with our Rs 774 million estimate, MM Forgings Ltd.’s Q2 Ebitda grew a healthy 7% YoY to Rs 769 million. We reckon the domestic medium and heavy commercial vehicle volume uptrend would hold at a 5% compound annual growth rate over FY24-27, on economic activity and replacement demand.

Growth would be driven by new products (gear blanks, long shafts, larger crankshafts) and market-share gains. The stock quotes at attractive valuations of 13 times /11x FY26e/FY27e EPS (a huge discount to peers Bharat Forge Ltd.’s and Ramkrishna Forgins Ltd.’s).

With a higher wallet share and sharper focus on EV-specific components, its outperformance would persist. The stock is among our preferred picks in ancillaries. We introduce FY27e, with 14%/15%/21% growth in revenue/ Ebida/PAT.

We retain a Buy, with a lower 12-month target price of Rs 720, 16 times FY27e EPS (earlier Rs 750, 18 times FY26e EPS).
