Domestic brokerage ICICI Securities has initiated coverage on the recently demerged Vedanta Aluminium Metal (VAML) with a 'Buy' rating and a target price of Rs 520, implying an upside of over 19% from the current market price of Rs 435.
According to the brokerage, Vedanta Aluminium is well positioned to benefit from a favourable aluminium cycle as the industry undergoes a structural transformation. It expects the metal to be supported by production disruptions caused by geopolitical conflicts, China's production cap, delays in commissioning new smelters and steady demand growth.
