Axis Securities' view on PEL

Pitti Engineering is a leading company manufacturing electrical steel laminations. According to brokerage Axis Securities, the company's results in the fourth quarter of FY24 were good. PAT remained in line, while revenue was better than expected. There was strong growth in revenue due to an increase in value-added products. The brokerage says that PEL has strategically developed its products to meet market demand, which has led to improved profitability. These value-added products have also helped the company increase its competitive edge and attract more customers.

"The increasing demand for renewable energy and marine applications in the international market is expected to significantly support PEL's revenue growth and improve its profitability going forward. The company will benefit from the Pitti Casting (PCPL) merger and the Bagadia acquisition. The outlook of the sector is positive," said the brokerage.
