2 Steel And Auto Stocks To Buy For Solid Returns in The Long Term

Brokerage firm, Emkay Global has recommended buying the stock of auto ancillary player Bharat Forge, while Geojit is upbeat on the stock of steel major, Tata Steel. Here are some facts, which had led to these brokerages having a buy on these stocks.

Buy Bharat Forge for 25% returns, says Emkay Global

Emkay Global sees the possibility of a rally in the stock of Bharat Forge from the current levels of Rs 741 to levels of Rs 920 in 1 year's time. This implies a return of nearly 25% on the stock from current levels.

The company is the world's leading forging manufacturer. "Bharat Forge's revenue is expected to grow by 51% in FY22E, led by a strong performance in Automotive and Industrial segments. Moreover, customer additions, higher content and portfolio expansion should boost growth. Nascent segments, such as Defense, Railways, Aerospace, E-mobility and Light-weighting solutions, are expected to see robust growth," Emkay Global has said.

Although the outlook for the global passenger vehicle's segment has been lowered, the segment is expected to clock double-digit growth, owing to the pending order book, better macros and low channel inventory, Emkay Global has said. The outlook has been improved for the industrial segments, such as construction equipment and tractors. The global oil & gas segment is expected to witness a multi-year upcycle.

"Our positive view on Bharat Forge is underpinned by its leadership position in automotive forgings, focus on diversification and an expected recovery in the core segments. We
have a Buy rating on the stock with a target price of Rs 920, based on 27 times P/E for the standalone business on Sep'23E EPS," the brokerage has said.
