Brokerage firm Jefferies has maintained its "buy" rating on the stock and has raised its price target to ₹43,145 apiece from the previous ₹25,000.
Jefferies has raised its estimated earnings per share (EPS) for financial year 2027 and 2028 by 10% and 27% respectively after Hitachi Energy's EBITDA and profit after tax beat expectations by 46% and 41%, respectively, in the March quarter.
