Rating:62Neutral
Price Target:
₹4,063.00
▲(0.47% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:07/29/26
The score is driven primarily by solid underlying financial performance and a constructive earnings-call outlook supported by a strong and growing order book. These positives are tempered by weak technical trend signals (price below major moving averages) and a relatively high valuation with a low dividend yield, alongside margin and cash-conversion variability risks.
Positive Factors
Large and growing order book
The expanding order book gives L&T substantial contracted work to execute over multiple years, improving revenue visibility and supporting capacity planning. Strong order momentum also indicates continued customer demand and creates a durable base for achieving management’s medium-term growth guidance.
Negative Factors
Meaningful leverage
Debt-to-equity above 1.0 leaves L&T less financially conservative than a lower-leveraged business and increases sensitivity to interest costs, refinancing conditions, and project delays. Although equity has grown and returns remain healthy, leverage can constrain flexibility during weaker execution periods.

Larsen & Toubro Limited Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Jul 28, 2026
(Q1-2027)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Nov 04, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call highlighted a strong backlog and order momentum (orders +14% YoY; order book +27%), improved working capital and healthy cash generation, along with strategic wins in offshore wind and an upgraded credit rating — all supporting medium‑term growth. Offsetting these positives were margin pressure (group EBITDA down ~90 bps), elevated ECL provisions (~INR 2.5bn), segmental revenue softness (notably Energy‑Green -11%) and execution uncertainty tied to Middle East supply‑chain disruptions and deferred conventional energy awards. Management maintained FY'27 guidance for order inflows (10–12%), revenue growth (10–12%) and PP&M margin (~7.8%) but flagged near‑term execution risks and that some treasury‑driven other income may not be fully sustainable as strategic investments ramp up.Positive Updates
Strong order inflows and book expansion
Group order inflows were INR 1,080 billion in Q1 FY'27, up 14% YoY; PP&M order inflows were INR 860 billion, also +14% YoY. Total order book stood at INR 7.79 trillion as of June 2026, up 27% YoY, providing multi-year revenue visibility.
Negative Updates
Margin compression at group and PP&M level
Group EBITDA margin (excluding other income) declined to 9.0% in Q1 FY'27 from 9.9% a year earlier. PP&M EBITDA margin was 7.0%, down ~20 bps YoY, reflecting lower execution, ForEx effects in IT subsidiaries and higher ECL provisions.
