Jefferies upgraded BPCL stock due to a steep discount and less impact from marketing losses in diesel till national elections. Target price of Rs 890 set, valuing it at 2.8x fwd P/B for 14% ROE in FY25.
BPCL’s reported GRM was above Kotak's estimate, while its implied marketing margin was below its estimate. HPCL's Q3 missed Kotak's Ebitda estimate due to a lower-than-expected marketing margin.
