Investment Rationale
L&T has underperformed the broader capital goods index for the last six months on concerns related to weaker-than-expected domestic and international ordering. Despite muted ordering trends in FY25 so far, we see the following positive factors for L&T: 1) strong order book sustaining healthy revenue growth, 2) an expected revival of domestic order inflows after state elections, 3) bottoming-out of margins, 4) fairly stable working capital, and 5) attractive valuations of 23x FY26E EPS for the core EPC segment.
