KEI Industries Shares Drop After Q2 Profit Miss; Brokers Maintain Buy Ratings
KEI Industries' shares fell over 11% after its September quarter net profit of Rs 262 crore missed estimates, with margins pressured by rising input costs. Revenue grew 38-40% year-on-year, driven by cables and wires, while the EPC segment declined. Brokerages like Jefferies, Motilal Oswal, and Prabhudas Lilladher maintain buy ratings, citing strong export growth, power transmission demand, and capacity ramp-ups, with price targets ranging from Rs 5,180 to Rs 6,150 and revenue growth guidance of around 25% for FY27.
