'Buy' L&T Shares Maintains Motilal Oswal On Strong Prospect Pipeline, Net Working Capital, ROE

Motilal Oswal remains positive on L&T considering its ability to benefit from a large prospect pipeline and maintain healthy net working capital and RoE, hence maintain Buy.

Driven by a robust ramp-up in international ordering, particularly in the last three years, L&T’s order inflows have grown 2x in FY25 to Rs 2.8 trillion and core EPC revenue has surged 1.7x vs FY22.

L&T’s near-term ordering may be affected by the Israel-Iran conflict in the Middle East and fluctuating oil prices, but the long-term support comes from a strong order book sustaining healthy revenue growth, fairly stable working capital driving improvement in return ratios, and margin improvement.

Motilal Oswal Report

At the current price, Larsen and Toubro Ltd. is trading at 30x/25x P/E for FY26/27E for core EPC business. We incorporate annual report details and roll forward our valuations to Jun’27 to arrive at a revised target price of Rs 4,100, based on 28 times Jun’27E earnings for core business and a 25% holding company discount to subsidiaries.

Key risks and concerns

A slowdown in order inflows, geopolitical issues, delays in the completion of mega and ultra-mega projects, a sharp rise in commodity prices, an increase in working capital, and increased competition are a few downside risks to our estimates.
