Jefferies Initiates Buy Rating on Welspun Corp with 27% Upside Target
Welspun Corp shares rose nearly 6% after Jefferies initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a Rs 3,250 target price, implying a 27% upside. Jefferies highlighted Welspun's strong position as the world's largest welded line-pipe manufacturer, supported by capacity expansion, a robust order book, and growing overseas operations in the US and Saudi Arabia. The brokerage expects a multi-year upcycle in energy and water infrastructure spending in these markets, driven by factors like rising LNG exports and Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 investments.
