Suzlon Energy Share Price Down Nearly 4% After Q1 Results: A Detailed Analysis
Suzlon Energy Ltd.’s shares slid nearly 4% during trade so far despite the company posting a notable uptick in both profit and revenue. The consolidated profit went up 7% in the first quarter of the current financial year, with the renewable energy firm posting a net profit of Rs 324.32 crore for the June quarter as compared to Rs 302.29 crore in the year-ago period.
Q1 Results: A Mixed Bag
The earnings report was a mixed bag, with the company’s profit and revenue rising, but slightly below some analysts’ expectations. Brokerages like Investec and UBS remained bullish on the counter, maintaining their ‘Buy’ calls, citing strong execution, healthy growth in order book figures, and a supportive growth cycle.
However, the earnings were slightly below Nuvama’s expectations, leading the brokerage to revise its target price to Rs 67 from Rs 68. Despite this, eight out of the nine analysts tracking the company have a ‘buy’ rating on the stock, and one recommends a ‘hold’, according to Bloomberg data.

Suzlon Energy stock fell as much as 4.45% during the day to Rs 60.3 apiece on the NSE, and was trading 3.53% lower at Rs 60.9 apiece, compared to a 0.42% advance in the benchmark Nifty 50 as of 10:12 a.m. The stock has declined 24.25% in the last 12 months and 1.64% on a year-to-date basis.
The total traded volume so far in the day stood at 5 times its 30-day average, indicating high investor interest in the stock. The relative strength index was at 55.2, indicating a neutral trend.
Outlook for the Renewable Energy Sector

Rising protectionism, sector consolidation, and a resilient wind energy profile continue to benefit Suzlon across its key segments. The company’s strong execution and healthy growth in order book figures are also positive indicators for the stock.
