Motilal Oswal has issued a buy rating on Prince Pipes & Fittings with a target price of ₹318, as reported in the research report dated August 04, 2026. The brokerage maintains its bullish stance on the stock based on reasonable valuation metrics and expected recovery in operational performance.
Prince Pipes reported a mixed-bag performance in Q1FY27, according to Motilal Oswal's analysis. The company experienced a 7% year-on-year decline in pipe volume, primarily attributed to above-normal channel inventory levels in April and declining PVC prices during the quarter. Despite the volume challenges, the company demonstrated resilience with consolidated revenue increasing 5% YoY, driven by improved pricing strategies implemented to combat raw material inflation.
The company showed signs of recovery in subsequent months, as reported by Motilal Oswal. May and June experienced healthy volume recovery following the challenging April performance, indicating potential stabilization in market conditions and demand patterns.
Based on a reasonable valuation of ~17x FY28E P/E, Motilal Oswal reiterates its buy rating with an unchanged target price of ₹318, calculated on a 20x FY28E P/E basis. The brokerage expects healthy recoveries in volume growth and return ratios to be key factors driving a potential valuation re-rating for the company.
