CLSA | Rating: Sell | Target: Rs 40

The Q4 was weak with its execution. It cleaned up its balance sheet with Rs 1,800 crore in provisions, whether this is a precursor to divestment remains to be seen.

CLSA cut FY22 EPS estimate by 7% to factor in weak discom financials.

Kotak Institutional Equities | Rating: Sell | Target: Rs 34

The company reported weak results on execution, gross margin & working capital. The weak gross margin casts doubts on its ability to report topline high enough to cover fixed costs.

Goldman Sachs | Rating: Sell | Target: Rs 23

The company delivered a disappointing quarter. The reported losses were significant at Rs 1,000 crore, even adjusting for one-time provisions, PAT would have been at Rs 400 crore.

Goldman Sachs expect even FY22 to generate no profit and the company does not warrant the current high multiple.
