Domestic Gains from Trade Protection
A recent safeguard duty imposed on steel imports is expected to significantly boost Tata Steel's domestic performance. This protective measure aims to reduce foreign shipments, creating a more favorable market for domestic producers to raise sales volumes and prices.
Capacity Growth and EU Recovery Support
Motilal Oswal views Tata Steel as well-positioned for long-term growth, especially with its ongoing capacity expansions. The firm also anticipates a gradual recovery in the company's European operations, supported by favorable regulations and cost-saving efforts, which should significantly improve consolidated financial results.
Valuation and Target Price
Tata Steel is currently valued at approximately 7 times its estimated FY28 EV/EBITDA and 2 times its estimated FY28 Price-to-Book ratio. Motilal Oswal maintains its 'Buy' recommendation and has set a Sum of the Parts (SoTP) target price of ₹250, based on FY28 estimates. This valuation suggests considerable potential upside for the stock.
