Suzlon Energy Shares Rise On Credit Rating Upgrade By CRISIL
Shares of Suzlon Energy surged nearly 4% after CRISIL Ratings upgraded the renewable energy company's credit rating to 'CRISIL A' with a positive outlook, highlighting the company's robust performance and improved profitability.
In an exchange filing on Tuesday, the renewable energy solutions provider, announced that this marks the second rating upgrade by CRISIL in 2024, reflecting Suzlon's strong operational efficiencies, disciplined financial management, and consistent quarter-on-quarter growth.
Earlier this year, CRISIL had assigned Suzlon a rating of ‘CRISIL A-', which has now been further upgraded in recognition of the company's improved financial metrics and growing opportunities in the renewable energy sector. The positive outlook reflects the potential for Suzlon's wind turbine generator business to outperform on higher execution volumes.
"This milestone reinforces our focus on creating value through efficient capital management and sustainable business practices, strengthening our position as a trusted leader in the renewable energy sector," said Himanshu Mody, Chief Financial Officer, Suzlon Group in the statement.
Additionally, CRISIL also upgraded the ratings of SE Forge Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Suzlon, to 'CRISIL BBB+' with positive outlook from ‘CRISIL BBB-' with a stable outlook.
In November, Morgan Stanley upgraded Suzlon Energy's stock rating to 'Overweight' but lowered the target price to Rs 71 per share from Rs 78. The brokerage expects Suzlon's market share to rise to 35–40% by the financial year 2027 from the current 25%. Key strengths identified include Suzlon's strong business moat and a 5.1 gigawatt order backlog, while risks include potential delays in capacity addition, high operating expenses, and increased competition.
