Choice Broking

Echoing similar views, Choice Broking said KPIT's strong deal wins and pipeline indicate sustainable long-term growth prospects. However, near-term growth might be expected due to macro uncertainties. "Growth momentum is expected to rebound in the second half of FY26 with Automotive OEMs spending firming up in the next couple of quarters," the brokerage said. 

 

"Despite the current OEM cost pressures, delays in SDV programs & EV timelines outside China, the company foresees margin expansion from a medium to long-term perspective. This expansion will be driven by a strategic shift to fixed-price project delivery, thereby improving profitability on a long-term basis," it added.

 

Choice Broking has maintained 'Add' on the stock with a target price of ₹1,400.
