Domestic brokerage firms have maintained a positive outlook on PNC Infratech following the company’s March quarter performance, expecting a gradual recovery in revenues over FY27 and FY28, supported by a healthy executable order book, improving order inflows, and a ramp-up in execution across key projects.

Analysts expect the stock to rise up to 315 apiece, implying a potential upside of nearly 46% from Friday’s closing price of 215. They noted that the company is well-positioned for a recovery cycle as execution intensity improves and newer business verticals scale up.

Brokerage firm HDFC Securities maintained its ‘Buy’ rating with a target price of 304, highlighting expectations of a recovery in execution and order inflows during FY27. The brokerage noted that PNC’s order book stood at around 180 billion as of March 2026, providing strong revenue visibility.

The brokerage also pointed to new business segments such as renewables and mining as potential drivers of future order inflows, while cash inflows from asset monetisation to Vertis contributed to PNC’s healthy cash buffer.

Ambit Capital also retained its ‘Buy’ rating with a target price of 276 and noted that the company has been able to maintain EBITDA margins despite weak execution trends over the last few quarters. The brokerage highlighted that diversification beyond roads, particularly into water infrastructure and other emerging segments, has helped PNC gradually rebuild its executable order book.

Meanwhile, another domestic brokerage, ICICI Securities, upgraded the stock to ‘Buy’ with a target price of 290, citing improving execution visibility and a strong executable order book. The brokerage expects revenue and earnings recovery over FY26–28E, aided by a pick-up in project execution and the commencement of recently secured projects.

Nuvama Institutional Equities, on the other hand, maintained a ‘Hold’ rating with a target price of 235, while acknowledging improving segmental diversification in the company’s order book growth.

The brokerage noted that management is targeting a higher share of non-road projects in future order inflows, with 30–35% of upcoming orders expected to come from segments such as solar, battery energy storage systems, and urban development projects.

Brokerages broadly expect order inflow momentum and execution recovery to remain the key monitorables for the company over the next few quarters.
