NDTV Profit's special research section collates quality and in-depth equity and economy research reports from across India's top brokerages, asset managers and research agencies. These reports offer NDTV Profit's subscribers an opportunity to expand their understanding of companies, sectors and the economy.

HDFC Securities Report

Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. stock has rallied ~35% and has outperformed the Sensex by ~26% over the last three months, driven by improving auto fuel marketing margins as Brent crude price declined by ~20% to $ 76/barrel of oil over the same period and strong refining margins as diesel and jet fuel crack spreads averaged $ 23-24/bbl.

We downgrade BPCL to a 'Reduce' from a 'Buy', with a target price of Rs 475/share, owing to the risk of

  1. lower auto-fuel marketing margins because of either a bounce-back in crude oil price or retail price cuts ahead of general elections and

  2. moderation in refining margins.
