Quotes
Jefferies
Brokerage whose report initiated coverage of Dhoot Transmission.
“We initiate on Dhoot with Buy and Rs1,730 PT. We like Dhoot’s strong franchise in 2W wiring harness, dominant position in EVs, and broadening portfolio. Its 43x 1-year forward PE appears rich but is justified, in our view, for its strong growth and franchise; our PT is based on 42x Sep-28E PE.”

“BAF’s pre-qtr release for Sep-Qtr shows an uptick in AUM growth to 26% YoY vs. 24% in Jun-Qtr, highest in 7 qtrs. BHFL’s AUM grew by 25%, implying the rest grew by 27% YoY. Growth in new loans booked (nos) slowed from 20% to 11% YoY, partly due to early festive season in the base when it had grown by 26% YoY.”
