'Hindalco's share price has given a return of 125% over last 12 months. We maintain our BUY rating on the stock Target Price and Valuation: We value Hindalco at Rs 600, based on SoTP valuation, the brokerage has said.
Key triggers for future price-performance:

- We estimate Hindalco's consolidated topline to increase at a CAGR of 19.6 percent between FY21 and FY23E, while consolidated EBITDA and consolidated PAT will grow at a CAGR of 23.6 percent and 53.1 percent, respectively.
Gujarat Pipavav

"We expect the normalisation of global container trade (in the medium term) and extension of agreement (in the medium term) to be key triggers for a re-rating of the stock. We remain positive on the stock and maintain our BUY recommendation Target Price and Valuation: We value the stock at Rs 130 i.e. 19x P/E on FY23E EPS," the brokerage has said.
Key triggers for future price-performance:
