War in West Asia was a cloud over L&T. The company has come out shining
Larsen & Toubro reported results.
· LiveMint Companies
L&T reported ₹1.48 trillion in new orders during the quarter, over a fourth more than the same period last year, taking its consolidated orderbook to a record ₹8.5 trillion—an impressive feat given that war-torn West Asis is its biggest market outside India.
The analysis
Larsen & Toubro reported ₹1.48 and ₹8.5. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is +0.9% on the day at ₹3,871.70, and has returned -1.7% over three months. It sits 12% below its 52-week high. The infrastructure sector has moved -15.8% over the same period, so Larsen & Toubro is running 14.1 points ahead of its peers.
For Larsen & Toubro, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the infrastructure peer set alongside it.
