Waaree Energies Expands Global Footprint—Is ₹4,000 the Next Target?

Strong global orders, robust earnings, and expansion plans fuel optimism as Waaree Energies surges past ₹3,350. Analysts see continued momentum.


Waaree Energies Surges to 8-Month High on Robust International Order

Waaree Energies Ltd, India’s largest solar PV module manufacturer, hit an 8-month high of ₹3,366.50 per share in intraday trade on the BSE today, gaining over 3% despite broader market weakness.

  • The rally follows a major 452 MW solar module export order secured by its U.S. subsidiary, Waaree Solar Americas, from a leading American developer of utility-scale solar and energy storage projects.
  • The stock has jumped 17% in the past two weeks, outperforming the Sensex, which was down 0.77% at the time.

Stock Performance and Historical Context

Waaree Energies made its market debut on October 28, 2024, at an IPO price of ₹1,503.

  • It has since gained 124%, currently trading at ₹3,354.60.
  • The stock has rebounded 86% from its 52-week low of ₹1,808.65 (April 7, 2025).
  • It is now within striking distance of its 52-week high of ₹3,743.00 (November 6, 2024).

Solid Q1FY26 Earnings Reinforce Bullish Sentiment

Waaree Energies posted record quarterly performance for Q1FY26 (April–June 2025):

  • Revenue: ₹4,597.18 crore (up 31.48% YoY)
  • EBITDA: ₹1,168.67 crore (up 82.61% YoY), with margin expansion to 25.42% from 18.3%
  • PAT: ₹772.89 crore (up 92.68% YoY)
  • Module production: 2.3 GW – the highest ever for a quarter

The company also highlighted ramping cell production and robust demand across both domestic and global markets.


Expansion Plans and Future Growth Drivers

Waaree’s growth blueprint continues to impress:

  • Plans to commission 1.6 GW module facility in Texas, USA and 3.2 GW in Chikhli, Gujarat
  • Approved ₹2,754 crore capex to expand:
    • Cell capacity by 4 GW in Gujarat
    • Ingot-wafer capacity by 4 GW in Maharashtra
  • Strong order book of ₹49,000 crore and global project pipeline of 100+ GW

This positions Waaree strongly amid rising demand for energy transition solutions.


Analysts Bullish on Waaree’s Medium-to-Long-Term Prospects

Brokerages remain optimistic:

  • Motilal Oswal and Geojit Financial Services highlight:
    • 60% of revenue from exports
    • 44% share of India’s solar exports
    • Favorable international trade policies, including U.S. tariffs on Chinese modules
    • Competitive edge from backward integration and strong R&D base
  • The China Plus One strategy, rising renewable adoption, and domestic policy support further improve its positioning.

Waaree’s FY26 EBITDA guidance stands between ₹5,500–6,000 crore, supporting long-term valuation comfort.


What Could Drive More Upside?

Key upside catalysts include:

  • Timely execution of expansion in the U.S. and India
  • Sustained global demand, especially amid rising protectionism in solar trade
  • Further large-scale export orders or government contracts
  • Improved institutional interest or index inclusion

However, investors should watch for risks tied to:

  • Policy changes in international markets
  • Raw material price volatility
  • Execution delays in upcoming facilities
