HSBC has maintained a buy rating on Cummins India, while reducing the target price to ₹3,500 per share from the earlier ₹4,200, citing moderation in growth prospects. Despite the revised target, the stock still offers a notable upside from current levels.
The brokerage highlighted that Q3 profit exceeded consensus estimates, driven by impressive topline growth across all segments. However, margin weakness remained a key concern, offsetting some of the strong revenue performance.
HSBC noted that there is limited scope for margin expansion, which could lead to a slowdown in overall growth in the coming quarters. As a result, the firm reset valuation multiples to factor in this moderation, leading to the downward revision of the target price.
Despite these concerns, Cummins remains a strong performer with a robust business model, and HSBC’s buy rating indicates confidence in its long-term growth trajectory.
