Transformers & Rectifiers (T&R) faces execution delays and order inflow pressure, leading Nuvama to downgrade its rating while cutting revenue and EPS estimates for FY26–FY28.

Why Did Nuvama Downgrade Transformers & Rectifiers After Weak Q2 Performance?

About Transformers & Rectifiers

Transformers & Rectifiers India Ltd. (T&R) manufactures a wide range of transformers for power, industrial, and infrastructure applications. The company has been under the radar due to its strong order book but faces short-term challenges in project execution and profitability. Nuvama Research downgraded the stock following a disappointing Q2 FY26 performance.

Nuvama’s downgrade to ‘Hold’ from ‘Buy’ was driven by weaker-than-expected revenue and margin performance, coupled with a delay in the company’s capacity expansion at Changodhar. The report suggests execution issues, order inflow decline, and prolonged monsoon conditions as primary causes for the underperformance.

Q2 FY26 Performance Overview

Metric	Performance	YoY Change
Sales	₹610 Cr	-35%
EBITDA	₹68 Cr	-55%
PAT	₹22 Cr	-59%
Order Inflow	₹5,500 Cr	-43%
Operating Margin	11.2%	-380 bps

The company missed Nuvama’s estimates across key metrics, with supply chain constraints and monsoon-linked project delays leading to subdued execution. The order book remains healthy but lacks near-term conversion visibility.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths ✅ Large and diversified order book across state utilities and infra projects. ✅ Strong long-term demand visibility with India’s power sector expansion.

Weaknesses ⚠️ Sluggish execution and working capital pressure. ⚠️ Capex delays at Changodhar impacting production ramp-up.

While execution challenges are short-term, the company’s ability to convert its strong order book into revenues will determine recovery momentum.

Opportunities & Threats

Opportunities 💡 Potential for recovery in transformer demand driven by renewable integration. 💡 New government projects and higher infra allocation could boost order intake.

Threats 📉 Raw material volatility, especially copper and steel prices. 📉 Project delays leading to margin compression.

The near-term growth outlook remains subdued; however, a pickup in FY27 could trigger valuation re-rating if operational efficiencies improve.

Valuation & Investment View

• Target Price: ₹334 (revised from ₹705).
• Rating: Downgraded to Hold from Buy.
• Valuation Basis: 25x FY28E PE (cut from 40x FY27E).
