Financial and Operational Context
The company operates as a global pure-play renewable EPC provider with a massive portfolio exceeding 28.7 GWp across 28 countries. Despite the recent order wins, the firm faces financial headwinds, reporting a TTM net loss of ₹287.18 crore. Market performance reflects these challenges, with the stock trading at ₹173.27, representing a 36.04% decline over the past year.
However, recent quarterly results showed a 69.6% year-on-year growth in net profit, potentially indicating operational improvements. With a current RSI of 27.22, the stock is in oversold territory while the company maintains a substantial O&M portfolio of 18.3 GWp.
