Siemens Trend

Brokerage Nuvama Wealth Management Ltd, formerly known as Edelweiss Securities, in its report said that the company missed its consensus Q4FY22 PAT estimate due to softer execution/weaker OPM ramp-up and greater tax impact, while new orders sustained healthy double-digit growth momentum.

Nuvama Wealth envisions new orders bunching up over the next 12 to 18 months, placing the company on a good footing.

The brokerage believes that the company's past few quarters of strong order momentum represent traction in both the short cycle and long cycle. It reiterates the company’s robust order pipeline across rail, transmission, and sustainability sectors.

“Importantly, scale-up in the C&S business, OPM ramp-up and execution remain key to creating stakeholder value over the next 12–24 months,” it added.

Despite the profit miss, the brokerage house retains ‘buy’ rating on the company with its strong order pipeline.

The stock has gained 37.58 percent from its 52-week low of 2021.0. It has underperformed the sector by 19.26 percent in the past year.

According to a Mintgenie poll, 22 analysts have a ‘buy’ call on the stock.
