Choice Institutional Equities maintains a bullish view on Man Industries, citing a strong earnings outlook, expanding capacity projects in Jammu and Saudi Arabia, and new business opportunities in the Middle East, boosting the company’s growth prospects.
Man Industries (India) has drawn fresh attention after Choice Institutional Equities reiterated a bullish view on the pipe maker, pointing to a stronger earnings outlook, a growing order pipeline and the benefits of new capacity coming on stream. The brokerage’s latest target implies meaningful upside from the stock’s recent trading levels, even after the shares rose sharply in intraday trade.
The company, which makes and coats large-diameter carbon steel line pipes used in oil, gas, water and infrastructure projects, has been building momentum on both operations and order visibility. According to Choice Institutional Equities, the business is supported by a sizeable order book and a large bid pipeline, giving it multi-year revenue visibility as demand broadens across domestic and overseas markets.
A key part of the investment case is expansion. The brokerage expects the Jammu project and the Saudi Arabia plant to become important growth engines from fiscal 2027 onwards, while reporting by Moneycontrol also highlighted the scale of the planned facilities and their potential to lift revenues over the next few years. Man Industries has also gained a place on QatarEnergy’s Preferred Manufacturers List for carbon steel pipes and related products, which could open the door to more business across major Middle East energy projects.
Recent results have underpinned the optimism. Alphastreet reported that the company delivered stronger quarterly earnings in fiscal 2026, with revenue, EBITDA and profit all rising year on year, while margins also improved. That margin expansion matters because it suggests the company is starting to benefit from operating leverage, better utilisation and a richer mix of higher-value products.
Choice Institutional Equities has also pointed to balance-sheet support from possible asset monetisation, including the Navi Mumbai land parcel, which could add cash over the coming years and help fund capex. Combined with relatively modest leverage, this gives Man Industries more room to invest in growth while reducing financial strain. For investors, the appeal is not just current profitability but the prospect of faster earnings growth if the new projects ramp up as planned.
