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.
