International Contract Fuels Growth
The latest surge comes after Sterlite Technologies announced on Friday that it secured a Product Award Letter (PAL) from an international hyperscale partner. This multi-year agreement is for the supply of optical connectivity products, with a total potential value estimated at $1.11 billion based on current selling prices.
According to Bajaj Broking, this substantial order is expected to significantly bolster STL's order book and enhance its long-term revenue visibility, creating a positive impact on the company's business outlook.
ASM Framework and Market Volatility
Amidst this sharp rally, both the BSE and NSE have placed Sterlite Technologies securities under the long-term Additional Surveillance Measure (ASM) Stage-4 framework. Exchanges typically implement ASM frameworks to alert investors about heightened price volatility and to monitor trading activity closely.
Strong Q4 FY26 Performance
On the earnings front, Nuvama Institutional Equities reported that Sterlite Technologies delivered better-than-expected Q4 FY26 results. The company posted revenue of Rs 1,440 crore, marking a 14.6% quarter-on-quarter and 37.0% year-on-year increase, surpassing Nuvama's estimate of Rs 1,350 crore.
Adjusted EBITDA margin also impressed, coming in at 14.7%, well above the estimated 13.3%. Although adjusted PAT was Rs 28 crore, below Nuvama's estimate, it represented a significant turnaround from a Rs 2 crore loss in Q3 FY26.
Nuvama further highlighted that STL achieved its highest-ever deal wins, with order intake increasing 1.4x QoQ and 4.8x YoY. The brokerage maintained a 'BUY' rating on STL, valuing the stock at 15x Mar-28E EBITDA, and revised its target price to Rs 440 from an earlier Rs 280.
