Nuvama
Brokerage firm Nuvama retained its ‘Buy’ rating on IndiGo with a target price of Rs 3,774.
“IndiGo posted Q3FY24 EBITDAR of INR55bn (+61% YoY/2.2x QoQ), 22% above estimate. Growth is attributable to strong capacity addition, low ATF cost, and rise in yields, partially offset by the grounding of aircraft,” Nuvama said.
“A likely duopolistic industry structure dominated by IndiGo and Air India bodes well. This shall spur pricing discipline, thereby driving yields up over the long term,” it said.
Kotak Institutional Equities
Kotak Institutional Equities has a ‘Buy’ rating on IndiGo with a revised target price of Rs 3,700 (Earlier: Rs 3,300).
“IndiGo reported solid results, much ahead of our consensus estimates. Spreads increased meaningfully yoy and were close to the higher Q3 levels despite a deterioration in the CASK, excluding fuel. This reflects the breadth of the IndiGo network and positive sectoral tailwinds (more airports, government support for international travel, and India’s geographical location),” it said.
“The network advantage is here to stay for longer, but the P&W issue could disrupt operations. On the P&W issue, Indigo is well-prepared and has shared lower-than-anticipated grounding so far, Kotak said.
