Orient Electric Shares Rise After Strong Q2 Results; ICICI Securities Maintains Buy Rating
Orient Electric's shares surged following a strong Q2FY27 performance, with net profit more than doubling to ₹27.06 crore. Growth was driven by premium products, including BLDC fans contributing over 30% of fan revenues and 40% of the fan portfolio. The company expanded its distribution through direct-to-market strategies and cross-selling. ICICI Securities maintains a BUY rating with a revised target price of ₹240, projecting revenue and profit CAGRs of 20% and 43.4% respectively through FY26-28E, and expects return on equity above 14%.
