HSBC Raises ACME Solar Target Price Amid Renewable Energy Sector Recovery
ACME Solar's shares rose about 5% after HSBC raised its target price from Rs 390 to Rs 450, maintaining a Buy rating. HSBC cited signs of recovery in renewable energy auctions, driven by rising power demand and increased adoption of battery energy storage and firm dispatchable renewable energy projects. ACME has converted 730MW of awarded projects into power purchase agreements and is expanding its portfolio with new contracted capacity. The company is transitioning from a pure solar provider to a diversified renewable energy player, though some risks remain.
