Brokerage View-Nomura

As per global brokerage firm Nomura, Cummins India's robust sales performance during Q1FY26 was primarily driven by demand from end-user markets. That apart, export levels also experienced a strong growth. This was largely on the back of channel initiatives, fit-for-market products, wherein products of a brand effectively match the requirements and needs of the target market, and sales penetration.

The brokerage firm has maintained a 'Buy' rating on the stock with a SOTP-based target price of ₹3,800. The stock is currently trading at 45x and 38x its FY26F and FY27F estimated earnings per share of ₹81 and ₹95, respectively.

"(The company's) Q1FY26 domestic sales outperformance was driven by demand from end user markets like data centers and mission critical applications. Management’s commentary on the demand outlook and the company’s newly launched Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) business should offer further clarity," Nomura said in its report.
