TD Power Systems Ltd Upgraded to Buy on Strong Financial and Technical Performance

Financial Performance Drives Upgrade

The primary catalyst for the rating upgrade is the company’s solid financial trend, which has shifted from very positive to positive, despite a slight moderation in the financial score from 20 to 13 over the past three months. TD Power Systems reported net sales of ₹442.68 crores for the quarter ended December 2025, marking a healthy growth of 26.36% year-on-year. Profit before tax excluding other income (PBT less OI) surged by 32.45% to ₹74.05 crores, while profit after tax (PAT) rose 25.4% to ₹56.32 crores.

Return on capital employed (ROCE) remains a standout metric at 28.19% for the half-year, underscoring efficient capital utilisation. The company’s management efficiency is further highlighted by a return on equity (ROE) of 16.65%, reflecting strong profitability relative to shareholder funds. Additionally, TD Power Systems maintains a debt-free balance sheet with an average debt-to-equity ratio of zero, reducing financial risk and enhancing its credit profile.

Operating profit growth has been impressive, with a compound annual growth rate of 46.65%, and the company has declared positive results for seven consecutive quarters, signalling consistent operational strength. Institutional investors hold a significant 47.56% stake, indicating confidence from sophisticated market participants who typically conduct rigorous fundamental analysis.

Valuation: Premium but Justified

While TD Power Systems commands a premium valuation, this is largely justified by its superior growth and profitability metrics. The stock trades at a price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 13.3, which is elevated compared to peers in the heavy electrical equipment sector. However, this premium is supported by a price-to-earnings growth (PEG) ratio of 1.3, indicating that earnings growth is reasonably aligned with the valuation.

The company’s return on equity of 21.7% further supports the premium, reflecting strong shareholder returns. Investors should note that despite the high valuation, the stock’s fundamentals and growth prospects mitigate concerns of overvaluation. The stock’s recent price performance has been robust, with a current price of ₹821.20, close to its 52-week high of ₹850.05, and a day’s trading range between ₹796.90 and ₹829.00.

Technical Indicators Signal Bullish Momentum

The technical trend for TD Power Systems has improved from mildly bullish to bullish, reinforcing the positive outlook. Key technical indicators present a mixed but overall favourable picture. On a weekly basis, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remains mildly bearish, but the monthly MACD is bullish, suggesting longer-term upward momentum.

Bollinger Bands on both weekly and monthly charts indicate bullish trends, while daily moving averages confirm positive price action. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently shows no clear signal, but the On-Balance Volume (OBV) is bullish on both weekly and monthly timeframes, signalling strong buying interest. The KST indicator is mildly bearish weekly but bullish monthly, and Dow Theory assessments are mildly bullish weekly, though mildly bearish monthly, reflecting some short-term consolidation within a longer-term uptrend.

Overall, the technical setup supports the fundamental upgrade, with the stock demonstrating resilience and strength relative to the broader market.

Long-Term Quality and Market Outperformance

TD Power Systems has delivered exceptional returns over multiple time horizons, significantly outperforming the Sensex and BSE500 indices. The stock has generated a staggering 123.30% return over the past year compared to Sensex’s 6.66%, and an extraordinary 540.06% return over three years against Sensex’s 37.76%. Over five years, the stock’s return of 2595.99% dwarfs the Sensex’s 65.60%, highlighting its status as a high-quality growth stock.

This sustained outperformance is underpinned by the company’s strong operational metrics, including a high ROCE of 28.19% and consistent quarterly profit growth. The company’s presence in the capital goods industry, particularly heavy electrical equipment, positions it well to benefit from infrastructure development and industrial expansion trends in India.

Risks and Considerations

Despite the positive outlook, investors should remain mindful of valuation risks. The company’s high P/B ratio of 13.3 and premium pricing relative to peers could expose the stock to volatility if growth expectations are not met. The PEG ratio of 1.3 suggests that while growth is priced in, any slowdown in earnings momentum could impact the stock’s premium valuation.

Additionally, technical indicators show some mixed signals on shorter timeframes, indicating potential consolidation or minor corrections before further advances. However, the absence of any key negative triggers in the financials and the company’s zero debt position provide a strong buffer against downside risks.

Conclusion: Upgrade Reflects Balanced Strength Across Key Parameters

The upgrade of TD Power Systems Ltd from Hold to Buy is well supported by improvements across four critical parameters: quality, valuation, financial trend, and technicals. The company’s high-quality earnings growth, efficient capital utilisation, and strong management execution underpin the quality rating. Valuation remains elevated but justified by growth and profitability metrics. The financial trend, while slightly moderated, remains positive with robust quarterly results. Technical indicators have shifted to a bullish stance, signalling favourable market sentiment.

With consistent outperformance against benchmarks and strong institutional backing, TD Power Systems presents a compelling investment case for investors seeking exposure to the heavy electrical equipment sector. The upgrade signals confidence in the company’s ability to sustain growth and deliver shareholder value in the medium to long term.
