the stock’s performance, but will gain momentum once final awarding picks up,” said Motilal Oswal in its research report.

We estimate an FY21-24E EPS CAGR of 24%, driven by 15% CAGR in the core E&C business and declining loss from the Hyderabad Metro. Over last one month, L&T Infotech/ Mindtree/ L&T Technology Services rallied by ~18%/~28%/~11%. Factoring in the CMP of the listed subsidiaries (holding company discount of 20%), our target price for L&T now stands at Rs 1,950.

Adjusted for the valuation of subsidiaries, the core business is available at 14.3x FY23E PE v/s its long-term one-year forward average P/E multiple of 22x. We maintain our buy rating, it added.
