The stock at day’s low touched levels of Rs 5145.30 apiece on the BSE.

Atul Parakh, CEO of Bigul is of the view that selling in the stock could be on account of profit-booking or near-term concerns, while buying could be driven by attractive valuations and positive order inflow outlook. 

Speaking on the company’s outlook in the near term, he said it looks mixed due to cost pressures and supply chain challenges, but a strong order book provides support. Nonetheless, long-term prospects are promising, backed by infrastructure push, energy transition, and industrial capex revival. 

Thermax's focus on energy-efficient solutions and exposure to sectors like cement and steel positions it well for sustainable growth, broadly in line with the overall capital goods sector's cyclical recovery.

Earlier Motilal Oswal maintained its ‘neutral’ stance on the counter with a revised target of Rs 4,180based on a higher multiple for core business to bake in expected revival in private capex as well as thermal ordering. Further, the brokerage believes that incremental investments in TOESL/FEPL will weigh on balance sheet strength and near- to medium-term return ratios.
