Price Performance

Basis of our Recommendation

Ahluwalia Contracts (India) Limited is positioned for significant growth, driven by a robust order book exceeding INR 21,000 crores and a strategic focus on high-margin projects. Management's guidance of 15-20% revenue growth and stable double-digit EBITDA margins reflects confidence in the execution of large-scale projects, such as Central Vista and CSMT, despite potential geopolitical risks and competitive pressures. The company's diversification across various segments and its strong presence in the Delhi NCR region enhance its competitive position and revenue visibility. Vista's financial outlook anticipates accelerating revenue growth beyond historical trends, supported by stable margins and a conservatively financed balance sheet. The favorable macro environment, characterized by improving manufacturing activity and government initiatives in infrastructure, further bolsters this outlook. Over the next 12-24 months, key opportunities include the execution of large projects and strategic investments in mechanization, while headwinds may arise from geopolitical tensions and competitive bidding challenges. Overall, Ahluwalia Contracts is well-positioned to capitalize on the expanding infrastructure sector, with a target price of INR 995 in 12 months and INR 1,137 in 24 months
