Centrum Broking on Acme Solar

Brokerage firm Centrum Broking has initiated coverage on Acme Solar with a ‘Buy’ rating, citing that the company represents a high-growth renewable IPP play. With a strong project pipeline, improving financial discipline, and increasing exposure to high-value hybrid and RTC segments, the brokerage believes the company is well placed for multi-year capacity and earnings growth.

 

“ACME Solar is emerging as a fast-growing renewable IPP with a diversified portfolio across solar, wind, and hybrid assets. It has a total portfolio of 7,770 MW and 16 GWh of BESS (operational portfolio of 2,962 MW and under-construction portfolio of 4,808 MW/16 GWh BESS). Having transitioned from a developer to a long-term asset owner, the company is now focused on stable capacity build-out and cash flow generation. Its demonstrated execution capability across large utility-scale projects positions it well to participate in India’s accelerating renewable capacity additions,” the brokerage said in its report. 

 

Centrum expects revenue/Ebitda/PAT to grow at a CAGR of 60 per cent/61 per cent/76 per cent over FY25–FY28E.  The brokerage values the company at an EV/Ebitda multiple of 10x on FY28 Ebitda to arrive at a target price of ₹315 per share, implying an upside potential of 16.24 per cent from the current market price.  =======================================
