For Q4, consolidated revenue/Ebitda/PAT stood at Rs744 billion/Rs 82 billion/Rs 51 billion, which grew 11%/13%/19%. Consolidated revenue was 7% below estimate, while consolidated PAT was 6% above brokerage's estimate, mainly led by higher-than expected margins. FY25 consolidated PAT was also ahead of our estimate. For the core E&C business, FY25 order inflows came in much above our estimate at Rs 2.89 trillion, up 20% YoY.

Motilal Oswal Report
Larsen & Toubro Ltd. ended FY25 on a strong note, with its Q4 FY25 and full-year performance exceeding our estimates. The company reported strong 20%/19% YoY growth in inflows/revenue in the core engineering and construction segment, largely driven by a strong uptick in inflows and execution from international geographies.
Despite strong inflows during FY25, L&T has guided for 10% YoY inflow growth as its prospect pipeline jumped 57% YoY to Rs 19 trillion. This was driven by international prospect pipeline improvement despite domestic prospect pipeline being flat YoY. L&T is optimistic about spending in the GCC region for renewable, clean energy and transmission projects and has strong funding lines for existing projects, despite oil prices hovering around $60 per barrel.
We expect L&T’s execution to remain strong with a strong order book. We remain positive on L&T considering its ability to benefit from a large prospect pipeline and maintain healthy net working capital and RoE. We thus raise our inflow and execution estimates for core E&C.
However, with a reduction in estimates and valuation for IT subsidiaries, our target price is revised to Rs 3,950 (from Rs 4,100) based on 28x Mar’27E earnings for core business and a 25% holding company discount to subsidiaries. Maintain Buy
