LG Electronics India Rallies 8% as Nuvama Raises Target Price
LG is a company that makes lots of things you might have at home, like televisions, refrigerators, washing machines and air conditioners.
A special business called Nuvama watches how companies are doing and tells people whether their shares — little pieces of the company — are worth more money.
LG just told everyone how its business did over the last three months, and the news was very good.
It sold more products than before and made more money on them.
People are buying fancier fridges, bigger washing machines and larger televisions, and those cost more money, which helps LG.
So many people wanted to buy LG's shares, and the price went up almost 8% in one day.
Nuvama then said the shares might be worth even more later, and raised its target price.
LG is also sending products to other countries, which could help it grow even more.
Because the company is doing so well, the experts think its shares can keep going up.
LG Electronics India shares surged nearly 8% intraday and were trading about 4% higher after stronger-than-expected first-quarter results.
Nuvama retained its 'Buy' rating and raised its target price to Rs 1,910 from Rs 1,820, implying around 21% upside from the current price of Rs 1,578.
Q1 revenue grew 15% year-on-year, EBITDA rose 26%, and adjusted PAT increased 28% — all ahead of Nuvama's estimates.
Home entertainment revenue jumped 22% with EBIT up 49%, while home appliances and air solutions revenue grew 14% to Rs 5,580 crore, around 77% of total revenue.
Nuvama expects premiumisation, price hikes of 7-15% over the past six months, and export growth, including via the Sri City facility, to keep supporting the stock.
