According to analysts, Polycab India's Q1 performance was a beat on all fronts. While 33 per cent Y-o-Y growth in the C&W business was a key highlight, the FMEG portfolio also reported steady growth and improved profitability. The C&W business benefited from increased government expenditure and rising commodity prices, while the FMEG business maintained its growth momentum owing to demand from real estate, the brokerage said in a note.

 

Another key highlight was the ramp-up in the high-margin export business, which grew 24 per cent YoY. "While Q1 was a very strong quarter for Polycab, we await more clarity on the sustainability of this performance and the way forward," it added.

 

JM Financial has maintained a 'Buy' with a target price of ₹7,900 set at 42x June 27E EPS.
