KEC International Reports Flat Q1 Revenue; Brokers Adjust Targets Amid Margin Pressures
KEC International reported a mixed Q1FY27 performance with flat year-on-year revenue and declining margins due to higher costs linked to geopolitical disruptions and supply chain challenges. Motilal Oswal lowered its target price to Rs 580, citing margin pressures and reduced valuation multiples, while maintaining a buy rating. Nomura downgraded its outlook to neutral with a target of Rs 495, highlighting execution difficulties and weaker-than-expected earnings. Both expect ongoing challenges to affect near-term performance and margins.
