Skipper Share Price Jumps 10% As Nuvama Initiates 'Buy'
Shares of Skipper Ltd. jumped 10% after it got a 'buy' rating as Nuvama initiated coverage. The brokerage views the company as a sector outperformer, on the back of substantial growth opportunities in the transmission and distribution ecosystem.
Nuvama projects that Skipper will benefit from the proposed National Electricity Plan, which outlines a massive Rs 9.1 lakh-crore investment in transmission infrastructure. This will likely lead to increased order intake both domestically and internationally, especially in the high-voltage segment, where demand is expected to rise.
Skipper reported order book/sales compound annual growth rate of 33%/24% from fiscal 2020 to fiscal 2024, with an order book of Rs 5,840—1.8 times its fiscal 2024 sales.
The company plans to double its tower manufacturing capacity to 6,00,000 metric tons per annum over the next four to five years, supported by an investment of approximately Rs 800 crore, Nuvama said.
The company is the only backward-integrated player in India, combining manufacturing and engineering, which enhances its competitive edge, the brokerage noted.
Potential risks include execution delays, fluctuations in raw material prices, and challenges in working capital management, Nuvama said.

Shares of Skipper Ltd. rose as much as 10.4% to Rs 489.10 apiece. They were trading at this level as of 11:29 a.m., compared to a 0.67% advance in the NSE Nifty 50.
