Edit this post

JP Morgan upgrades Petronet LNG to Overweight with a higher target of ₹335, driven by volume growth, tariff escalation, and lower impairment costs.

Why Has JP Morgan Upgraded Petronet LNG to Overweight?

JP Morgan’s Upgrade Rationale

JP Morgan has upgraded Petronet LNG to Overweight and raised its target price to ₹335. The brokerage expects earnings momentum to improve, supported by higher volumes following the commissioning of the 5 MTPA Dahej expansion and a 5 percent tariff escalation.

Lower impairment charges are also expected to contribute to earnings upgrades through FY28.

Key Drivers

🔹 Volume growth post Dahej expansion.

🔹 Tariff escalation supporting margins.

🔹 Lower impairment drag.

JP Morgan notes that concerns around tariff renegotiation and PDH capex remain unresolved, but better near-term earnings should support the stock in the interim.
