Voltamp Transformers benefits from the governments focus on the infrastructure sector

Voltamp Transformers stock price has gone up 180% in one year; why it is this week's top stock

The manufacturer and supplier of electrical transformers enjoys a dominant position, with its products catering to various industries, including data centres, oil and gas, metals, minerals, infrastructure and green energy. Its product mix includes power, distribution and dry transformers. The company reported a strong operating performance in the June quarter, led by a healthy demand momentum. Its revenue and PAT grew by 32.9% and 56.5% year-on-year, respectively. While improved volumes supported the top line, higher other income and lower effective tax rate aided the net profit.

Growing population, robust GDP growth outlook, increasing electrification and rise in per capita electricity use are some of the factors aiding the power sector’s growth.

The need to upgrade/replace old power infrastructure with a change in electricity mix (increasing renewable energy) and emergence of new demand drivers (EVs, data centres, solar power) are providing additional growth impetus to the power sector. A Motilal Oswal report estimates India’s power demand to grow at 7% CAGR over the next decade, and anticipates EVs and data centres to drive one-third of the power demand growth by 2035.

The management expects domestic demand momentum to be robust over the next five years, supported by industrial capacity expansion by the private sector in various industries (steel, cement, petrochemicals, metals), PLI scheme benefits, traction in green energy projects by private sector players (to improve ESG footprint) and China plus one strategy.

The company has an exhaustive clientele both in the PSU and private sectors, and a significant proportion of its business is generated through repeat orders. Such client loyalty provides strong revenue visibility and business stability. It is also expanding its capacity by 6,000 MVA (megavolt amperes) to cater to the rising demand for electricity (and transformers) and entailing a capital expenditure of up to Rs.200 crore (funded through internal accruals).

It has a strong balance sheet with strong operating cash flows. Moreover, prudent management of working capital has helped it to remain debt-free for over a decade. A recent IDBI Capital report expects the operating cash flows to grow at 20% CAGR over 2023-24 and 2026-27. The report lists large addressable opportunities in data centres, strong order backlog in power and distribution transformers, higher service income, prudent capital allocation, comfortable capital structure and better sales mix and cost controls as key positives. The stock has outperformed the market benchmark in the past year, with 180.7% returns compared to BSE Sensex with 28% returns.

Selection methodology: We pick the stock that has shown the maximum increase in ‘consensus analyst rating’ during the past three months. The consensus rating is arrived at by averaging all analyst recommendations after attributing weights to each of them (1 for strong buy, 2 for buy, 3 for hold, 4 for sell, 5 for strong sell). An improvement in consensus analyst rating indicates that the analysts are getting bullish on the stock. Only stocks with more than five analysts covering them are considered. You can see similar consensus analyst rating changes during the past week in ETW 50 table.
