The government is selling its 9.5% stake (78.3 Cr shares) at a floor price of Rs. 145 per stock, a discount of Rs. 10 per share. The stock is currently trading at a PE of 13.05, a price of Rs. 145 will bring it down to 12.17, lesser than comparables. With the US power industry rotating from coal to domestic natural gas, we expect the international price of coal, the main input cost for NTPC, come down over a period of time. We give the government’s OFS a BUY at this price.

INFY Analyst coverage

Majority of analysts are suggesting a hold for this stock given the current condition of the IT industry.

Given these technicals, we suggest a short-term sell. For the long-term, we suggest a buy given the well spread out GMMA lines. However, we recommend that investors tread with caution given that the spread in the GMMA lines has occurred due to the +20% spike seen at the most recent earnings announcement. Also, for risk management we suggest having trailing stop-losses in case trend-reversal were to take place.
