IGL shares rise 6% after Nomura upgrade
Indraprastha Gas Ltd (IGL) shares went up by 6% on Wednesday.
This happened because a company called Nomura said the stock was a good buy now.
They think the stock was too low and will go up because of some good changes coming.
These changes include lower taxes on gas in Gujarat and lower costs for gas.
Nomura also kept good ratings for two other gas companies, Mahanagar Gas (MGL) and Gujarat Gas.
They think the price of gas from the US (called Henry Hub) will go down soon, which will help these companies.
So, people are buying IGL shares because they think it's a good deal now.
IGL shares rose 6% after Nomura upgraded its rating to 'Buy' and raised the target price to Rs 230.
Nomura expects cost and tax benefits, including a tax reduction in Gujarat and lower transmission costs, to offset recent negatives.
Henry Hub gas prices are expected to cool, providing margin support from Q2 FY27 onwards.
Nomura retained 'Buy' rating on MGL with a target of Rs 1,510 and 'Reduce' rating on Gujarat Gas with a target of Rs 390.
IGL's Ebitda margins are expected to improve sequentially by about 3% in Q4 FY26 due to softer domestic and Brent-linked gas prices.
