Which stock are you betting on?
Last week, Citi initiated coverage on Vedanta Aluminium shares with a ‘Buy’ rating and a target price of Rs 560 apiece, naming the newly listed stock its top Indian metals pick. The latest target price implies an upside potential of more than 17% from the stock’s previous closing price.Citi listed key drivers for its bullish call, which include a positive aluminium outlook, growth potential (Balco expansion, Vedanta Aluminium debottlenecking), cost focus (higher captive alumina, domestic bauxite and captive coal), and improving leverage. It expects the company to have a net cash position by FY28.
Expecting aluminium prices to hover around $3,400 in FY27-28, Citi explained that every $100 per ton change in LME can impact the company’s EBITDA by 4-5.5%, and subsequently fair value by nearly Rs 30 per share. “We open a 90-D positive CW: Our commodities team believes the aluminium market is in deficit and will draw inventories sharply over the next 3-6 months, driving prices up 15-20% to $4,000 per ton in the base case,” it added.Also read: Vedanta Aluminium vs Power vs Oil & Gas vs Iron & Steel: Which stock should you buy?

Vedanta Iron and Steel share price
The company’s share price has recorded the sharpest gains so far among the four Vedanta Group companies, rallying for a sixth consecutive session. Vedanta Iron & Steel has operations spanning India and Africa and focuses on iron ore exploration, mining, and processing. It also produces high-quality steel, wire rods, TMT bars, pig iron, ductile iron (DI) pipes, ferro-silicon, cement and metallurgical coke.
Sunny Agrawal said that Vedanta Iron & Steel offers cyclical upside and carries higher commodity and execution risks, especially given weaker listing traction and greater earnings volatility. Hence, on a forward SOTP basis, Aluminium stands out as a structural compounder with favourable operating leverage, while the rest are more tactical or cyclical plays.
