📊 TATAPOWER (Tata Power Ltd.) shows mixed fundamentals. While ROE (18.1%) and ROCE (14.8%) reflect moderate efficiency, valuations are highly stretched with a P/E of 118 compared to industry average of 30.5. EPS is weak at ₹3.76, and PEG ratio of 7.73 indicates poor growth-adjusted valuation. Debt-to-equity ratio of 1.24 highlights high leverage risk. Quarterly PAT swung negative (₹431 Cr → ₹-160 Cr), raising concerns about earnings volatility. Dividend yield of 0.51% offers limited income support. Technical indicators show bullish momentum (MACD 16.5) but RSI at 65.4 suggests moderately overbought conditions. Price trades above both 50 DMA (₹405) and 200 DMA (₹390), reflecting short-term strength.
💰 Ideal Entry Price Zone: ₹400 – ₹420 (aligned with 50 DMA support and valuation comfort).
📈 Exit / Holding Strategy: Hold for 2–3 years; consider partial profit booking near ₹460–₹465 resistance. Long-term holding requires earnings stability and reduction in leverage.
