ReNew Energy Global PLC (NASDAQ: RNW)

ReNew Energy Global PLC (NASDAQ: RNW) is a leading decarbonization solutions company listed on Nasdaq. ReNew's clean energy contracted portfolio, which stood at approximately 16.3 GWs as of November 19, 2024, is among the largest in the world.

Recommendation Rationale – SELL at USD 6.14 

  • Decline in Net Profit: The group reported a net profit of INR 5,333.0mn in H1FY25, compared to INR 6,754.0mn in H1FY24, reflecting a 21.0% decline, driven by lower resource availability and reduced late payment surcharge from customers. Merchant tariffs and resource availability were lower during both Q2FY25 and H1FY25.
  • Trading Near the Resistance: RNW share price surpassed the R1 level recommended on 4 November 2024. Therefore, share price can face resistance at the current levels.
  • Overvalued Multiples: On a forward 12-month basis– key trading multiples (EV/Sales, EV/EBITDA, P/E, Price/Cash Flow, Price/Book) are higher than the median of the utilities sector.
  • Market Risk: Challenges in the utilities sector include energy price fluctuations, climate change, regulatory risks, and foreign exchange, all of which can disrupt production, supply chains and financials. Additionally, changes in macroeconomic conditions, such as economic cycles, interest rates, and inflation, can also pose significant challenges.

Valuation Methodology: EV/Sales Approach (FY March'26E) (Illustrative)

Considering factors such as the decline in net profit in H1FY25, decline in cash flow to equity (CFe), and the company's expectation that adjusted EBITDA and Cash Flow to Equity (CFe) in FY25 will be dependent on weather conditions mirroring those of FY24, the stock might trade at a slight discount to its peers. For conducting the valuation, the following peers have been considered: Ormat Technologies Inc (NYSE: ORA), Altus Power Inc (NYSE: AMPS), Spruce Power Holding Corp (NYSE: SPRU), and others.

Considering that the stock surpassed the R1 level, market uncertainties, and risks associated, the share price can witness resistance at the current levels. Hence, a ‘Sell’ recommendation is given on the stock at the current market price of USD 6.14, as of 27 November 2024, at 9:15 AM EST.
