Jefferies believes over the next 12 months L&T will benefit from macro tailwinds apart from company-specific improvements. It has kept “buy” rating with a price target of Rs 1,925. The brokerage believes domestic execution, which is better margin vs international, will lead to margins sustaining with some upward bias.
The stock has posted biggest intraday percentage gain since February 26. It has clocked sixth straight session of gains, up 9.4 per cent this year as of Monday's close. Over 1.8 million shares traded vs 30-day average of 1.7 million shares.
