Should you buy, sell, or hold L&T' stock? Here's what brokerages say:
Avendus
Avendus raised its target price to Rs 3,000 (from Rs 2,900 earlier) but maintained a 'Reduce' rating.
The brokerage flagged concerns over sluggish domestic order inflows, which grew just 6% in FY25 and may remain weak in FY26. It also pointed to ongoing headwinds in the IT & Services segments, while noting that international prospects were a bright spot. Lower crude prices may limit order conversion, and given growth concerns beyond FY26, Avendus values L&T's core construction business at 20x forward earnings.
Motilal Oswal
MOFS raised its target price to Rs 4,200 from Rs 4,100 and retained its 'Buy' rating.
The brokerage highlighted a strong Q1 start, with the order book up 25% YoY to Rs 6.1 lakh crore and the prospect pipeline up 63% YoY to Rs 15 lakh crore.
MOFS also cited L&T's push in green and energy transition projects and growth potential in the Middle East. For FY26, L&T management expects 10% order inflow growth and 15% revenue growth. MOFS values L&T at 28x two-year forward P/E, with a 25% holding company discount for its subsidiaries.

Bengaluru techie held for Rs 379 crore crypto theft in his company

BENGALURU: Investigation of the Rs 379 crore cryptocurrency theft reported by CoinDCX has led to Bengaluru City police arresting a software engineer of the company after hackers allegedly succeeded in compromising confidential financial processes using his login credentials. The arrested employee is Rahul Agarwal (30), a resident of Carmelaram area, and he is from Haridwar, Uttarakhand. The arrest follows a complaint by Neblio Technologies, which runs crypto trading platform CoinDCX. Quoting Neblio vice-president (public policy) Hardeep Singh, police said: "Rahul was on permanent rolls of the company and he was given a laptop strictly for office work. He came under the scanner after the company found out that an unknown person had hacked into the system at 2.37am on July 19 and transferred one USDT to a wallet. Around 9.40am, the hacker siphoned off $44 million (Rs 379 crore) and transferred it to six wallets. " When the company conducted an internal probe, it was found the security credentials of Rahul's laptop were compromised, allowing the hacker to access the company's server. Following this, his laptop was seized and examined.
