Titagarh Rail share price in focus: Nuvama bullish on railway rolling stock; raises target price – 5 reasons why
The brokerage firm, Nuvama Research maintain a ‘BUY’ call with a revised TP of Rs 1,089 (earlier Rs 1,061) on a valuation rollover to Q4FY28E (35x EPS). At CMP, the stock trades at 25.8x FY28E EPS.
While subdued wagon tendering compels the brokerage to cut FY27E/28E EPS by 14%/3%, the brokerage remains bullish on TRS’s long-term prospects.
The timing/quantum of likely wagon tender (Link) from Indian Railways (IR) would be a significant trigger for the stock, according to the brokerage.
Wagon production in Q4FY26 was 1,700 (1,770 in Q3FY26, 2,455 in Q4FY25, 6,970 in FY26 and 9,431 in FY25). TRS delivered 24 coaches (18 in Q3FY26, six in Q4FY25, 63 in FY26 and 12 in FY25).
