CLSA reiterates their cautious stance on the Indian Steel sector driven by three key points, domestic profit pool to shift from steel mills to miners, valuations do not reflect trough spreads and valuations do not reflect trough spreads and China stimulus a key risk.
The research firm has downgraded Tata Steel and JSW Steel to 'sell'. It believe margins will be weighed down by weaker spreads and hence downgrade both the stocks. "Volume growth for both companies is likely to be strong, helped by capacity expansion over the next two years", it said.
CLSA changed the Ebitda estimates for the stocks under their coverage by -6% to +5% for FY24-26CL and hence cut target price by 7%-10% for Tata Steel from Rs145 to Rs 135 and for JSW Steel from Rs 810 to Rs730.
"We raise our target price for Jindal Steel & Power Ltd. from Rs 820 to Rs 840 and maintain underperform, as we believe it is relatively better off because weaker industry spreads will be more than offset by the margin expansion projects".
