We value Blue star at a target price of ₹1,825, with a PE of 50x using a forwarded EPS of ₹36.5 (FY24) owing to rapid expansion growth plan, expected relief in input cost pressure post relaxation in geo-political tension and early onset of harsh summer season leading us to believe the coming quarters would continue to maintain the same momentum.
