Goldman Sachs Research has initiated coverage on the stock with a ‘buy’ rating, saying NTPC’s business model entails a high degree of earnings visibility with core business consistently yielding 20% plus return on equity (RoE).
“NTPC scores well as a defensive growth option. It has the lowest risk to funding amongst its peers, competitive cost of generation, RBI guarantee for payment realisation from its customers (financially-constrained SEBs) up to FY2016 and inexpensive valuations,” said Goldman Sachs Research in a note to its clients.
The firm expects the company’s net profit to grow at a compounded annual rate of 7.3% between FY2008 and FY2011E (estimated) on the back of a 30% growth in wholly-owned commercial generation capacity over this period.
“Net income growth would rise progressively over the next three years, as we expect around 45% of the 7,760MW of commercial capacity addition over this period only in FY2011E,” the note said.
