Suzlon FY25 Results: PAT Up 190%, Eyes 60% Growth in FY26
Backed by 5.5 GW firm orders and a growing EPC pipeline, Suzlon must deliver flawlessly—rich valuations demand execution, margin stability, and timely CODs.
What Changed Between FY21–25
3× Revenue Growth: Scale-up across WTG, OMS, and SE Forge.
Platform Evolution: S144 matured to industrial scale with 5+ GW orders.
Capacity Ramp-Up: Expanded nacelle, blade, and tower plants to 4.5 GW capacity.
Customer Base Shift: Now includes PSU majors like NTPC, Torrent, BPCL.
Cash Conversion: ₹1,943 Cr net cash in FY25 vs ₹110 Cr in FY24; DTA recognition aids equity base.
Service Model Deepening: OMS AUM >15.1 GW (Suzlon) + 3 GW (Renom), annuity cash flows.
Export & Digital Readiness: Azure OpenAI-led digital infra; export interest from EU OEMs.
Business Model Evolution: From asset-light supplier to vertically integrated solution partner.
Execution Breakout: Record quarterly deliveries (573 MW), with robust commissioning visibility across PSU and C&I orders.
Operating Leverage Playbook: Higher scale and factory utilization improved cost absorption and margin lift.
One-Time Boost: ₹600 Cr deferred tax asset recognition pushed PAT to record high—supporting equity base restoration.
Platform Dominance: S144 turbine now over 90% of order mix, driving better pricing and tech alignment for FDRE projects.
ROCE improved in FY25, driven by stronger execution, higher contribution margins, and improved working capital after full ramp-up of 4.5 GW capacity.
ROE rise, supported by ₹2,072 Cr PAT and a stronger equity base. The FY23 spike (262.7%) was a low-base anomaly; FY25 reflects normalized returns.
Valuation Analysis – Suzlon Energy
FY26E P/E is calculated by assuming a 60% growth on FY25 PAT excluding DTA
Trailing valuations are elevated, reflecting Suzlon’s turnaround year in FY25 with record revenue, 118% growth in deliveries, and normalized PAT doubling YoY.
At current levels, valuation implies a full price for flawless execution. With Suzlon guiding for 60% growth in FY26, the stock trades at ~42× forward earnings — still rich relative to industrial peers.
Valuation rerating depends on execution certainty, especially on commissioning (COD), order-to-cash cycles, and margin maintenance. While balance sheet strength (₹1,943 Cr net cash) supports confidence, working capital pressures and project timing remain key watchpoints.
No room for multiple expansion unless FY26 outperforms guidance both P/E and EV/EBITDA are already near upper decile of renewables/infra comparables.
Valuation compression is possible, especially if delivery execution lags or margins dip. The Street may model a derating from 47× → 35–38× as normalized PAT scales in FY26.
Despite a clean balance sheet and leadership in India’s wind OEM market, Suzlon’s margin of safety is low at current valuations. The stock prices in a strong FY26 already, and any slip in execution, margin, or cash conversion could trigger a derating.
Valuation Risk Factors:
Market expectations: Premium multiples demand PAT > ₹2,200 Cr and margin stability above 17%
Execution dependency: FY26 depends on timely EPC conversions and CODs
Supporting Positives:
S144 turbine scaled across 5.6 GW+ order book
Visibility into FY26–27 revenue through backlog
