ACME Photo voltaic Holdings (ACME) boasts a diversified portfolio of about 7GW of renewable capability (operational + underneath development + pipeline) spanning photo voltaic, wind, hybrid, and agency & dispatchable renewable power (FDRE) initiatives. As of date, the corporate has an operational portfolio of round 2.5GW, whereas the overall challenge pipeline, together with under-construction initiatives, stands at round 4.4GW.
About 86 per cent of the corporate’s portfolio is contracted with central off-takers, together with SECI, NTPC, SJVN, and NHPC, involving minimal counterparty danger.
We provoke protection on ACME with a BUY score and a TP of ₹330.
We imagine ACME’s steep valuation low cost vs NTPC Inexperienced is unsustainable and may slim within the coming quarters. We additional imagine that NTPC Inexperienced’s premium valuation is basically a perform of decrease financing prices. Nevertheless, this benefit is dented on condition that NTPC Inexperienced outsources each EPC and O&M for its initiatives.
Assuming a ten per cent EPC margin and a 50 per cent O&M margin for photo voltaic initiatives, we estimate NTPC Inexperienced will lose 79 per cent of the curiosity value financial savings over the challenge life. Whereas we acknowledge NTPC Inexperienced’s superior financing value, we spotlight that ACME (in addition to different gamers who undertake in-house EPC/O&M for initiatives) saves important prices
