SJVN share price soared by nearly 260% in just one year, providing investors with multibagger gains. Due to the recent increase in the stock price of the State-owned corporation, domestic brokerage Elara Capital maintained a "reduce" recommendation on SJVN in its latest report, which followed the company's Q4 results. The brokerage firm believes that valuation has already accounted for potential near-term growth. Project execution is also the most important monitorable, even with a robust project pipeline. Elara Capital believes that the stock might decline by 4%.

According to Rajesh Bhosale - Equity Technical and Derivative Analyst, Angel One, in the near term, stock prices have broken below key support. The breakdown is in line with weakness in the broader market, going ahead, this weakness may persist, pulling prices towards 115–110; however, considering the broader uptrend, any such dip would be a buying opportunity. 155–170 is immediate resistance.

Here's what the brokerage says

According to brokerage Elara Capital, SJVN won five solar projects in Q4 totalling 2,252 MW in an open competitive bidding procedure. There are now twelve solar projects (2,048MW), four hydro projects (1,558MW), and one thermal project (1,320MW) in construction. It is developing 7.2 GW worth of renewable energy (RE) projects. 

In FY25, SJVN may install 2,048 MW of RE projects, and in FY26, 4,777 MW. The 1,320MW Buxar capacity's commissioning has been postponed because to unrest in the area. It is anticipated that unit one will be put into service in Q3FY25, and unit two by Q4FY25. The Arun-3 project's commissioning was also postponed until Q3FY26.

“We change. FY25E-26E earnings estimate and maintain our target price at 134, on 2x P/B regulated equity,” the brokerage said.
