Outlook Valuation by Reliance Securities:Looking ahead, we expect PGCILs earnings to clock 19 per cent CAGR over FY18-20 backed by a healthy order book.
At CMP, the stock trades at 1.6x FY19E 1.4x FY20E P/BV, respectively and 10.2x P/E of FY19E 8.5x P/E of FY20E.
Given higher capitalisation in coming years on the back of huge capex pipeline, steady regulated RoE, we believe that PGCILs fundamentals would continue to remain strong.
New project awards and pending CERC 2014-19 transmission tariff norms are the key monitorables in the near-term.
We maintain our BUY recommendation on the stock with an unrevised Target Price of Rs256.
