ICICI Securities has maintained a Buy rating on the company with a target price of INR 1,786, while Axis Capital and Nuvama have set their target prices at INR 1,780 and INR 1,376, respectively, indicating a potential upside of up to 75% in the stock price.

Signature Global’s stock opened at Rs. 1029.90 per share on November 11, 2025, in early trading hours.

During H1FY26, the company recorded strong pre-sales of INR 46.6 billion and reported revenue of INR 12.0 billion, with collections standing at INR 18.7 billion. The company expects collections to rise significantly in H2FY26 as key construction milestones are achieved in its high-value projects located in Gurugram.

Brokerage Firm Recommendations

ICICI Securities has maintained its BUY rating and has updated the target price to Rs 1,786, suggesting the stock could increase by 75%.

The brokerage firm noted that Signature Global has delivered 57% sales booking CAGR over FY21–25, largely through affordable/ mid-income housing projects.

ICICI Securities projects that, backed by Signature Global’s robust launch pipeline with a cumulative gross development value (GDV) exceeding INR 450 billion for FY25–28E, the company’s sales bookings are expected to reach INR 119 billion in FY26, INR 127 billion in FY27, and INR 139 billion in FY28.

Axis Securities expects a 74% upside in the company’s stock price and believes that Signature Global is well-positioned to achieve this target, driven by a strong launch pipeline of over INR 130 billion planned for the second half of the fiscal year.

“We expect construction of new projects to pick up sequentially from here on, which, with healthy bookings at new launches, will drive collections and OCF,” Axis Capital said in its report.

Nuvama has also maintained its BUY rating with a target price of Rs. 1,376 per share.

“Despite being a relatively new entrant, Signature Global has emerged as one of the largest developers in the Gurugram housing market in terms of sales bookings over the past few years,” Nuvama said in its report.

“One of the biggest factors in SGIL’s success is the fact that the company has been able to acquire land at very attractive prices. On average, land/approval-related costs for the company are 10–15% of the selling price,” the report added.

Outlook & Guidance

Through this initiative, SAMCO Securities and The Womb aim to understand the day-to-day life of a trader, a profession often dismissed and disrespected as mere gambling. Contrary to popular belief, the series will focus on revealing the unseen truths of the traders’ profession and highlight the significant amount of science that goes into their work. By doing so, they aim to debunk myths and misconceptions surrounding trading and showcase the intricate knowledge and expertise required for success in this field.

Jimeet Modi, Founder and CEO, of SAMCO Group, remarked, “SAMCO recognizes the valuable role that a stock trader plays to aid the progress of the financial markets and the economy. Traders possess a unique set of skills, honed through years of experience and dedication. They demonstrate remarkable analytical capabilities, navigating the highs and lows of the market with poise and resilience. Moreover, traders are masters of risk management, meticulously assessing and mitigating risks to protect their investments and maximize returns. This series is our tribute to the traders & the investors“

In the first episode, the audience is introduced to Jignesh a dedicated trader navigating the complexities of the financial market in his day-to-day life. Through a blend of humor and emotion, the episode provides a candid glimpse into the challenges and triumphs Jignesh faces in his profession. As the story unfolds, Jignesh’s son, Rohan, emerges as a central figure, standing up against the societal stigma attached to his father’s occupation. Rohan’s impassioned speech serves as a turning point, challenging stereotypes and highlighting the undeniable science and analysis behind trading.

The episode masterfully captures the essence of the film’s message, portraying traders like Jignesh not as mere gamblers but as skilled professionals contributing significantly to the economy. It resonates deeply with the audience, engaging them on an emotional level while compelling them to reconsider their perceptions of the trading profession. 

Heval Patel, Head of Account Management at The Womb, highlighted the importance of changing the way India sees traders, stating, “In India, trading lacks the recognition and respect accorded to other professions. These perceptions impact different aspects of the trader’s social life – facing trouble while securing credit, finding a suitor, kid’s admissions in schools, etc. We want to change the way India sees traders. We want to show the Andekha Sach of traders.“

Suyash Khabya, Creative Head at The Womb, emphasized the emotional and satirical approach of the series, aimed at touching hearts and bringing respect and admiration for traders who fuel the economy. “With this ‘Traders ka Andekha Sach’ series, we aim to elevate the image of active traders.

The demerger is planned to be a simple vertical split, resulting in six separate listed companies, namely Vedanta Aluminium, Vedanta Oil & Gas, Vedanta Power, Vedanta Steel and Ferrous Materials, Vedanta Base Metals, and Vedanta Limited. Each independent entity will have greater freedom to grow to its potential and true value via independent management, capital allocation, and niche strategies for growth.

Vedanta has a unique portfolio of assets among Indian and global companies with metals and minerals such as zinc, silver, lead, aluminum, chromium, copper, nickel, oil and gas, traditional ferrous vertical including iron ore and steel, and power, including coal and renewable energy. The company is now foraying into the manufacturing of semiconductors and display glass.

Once demerged, each independent entity will have greater freedom to grow to its potential and true value via independent management, capital allocation, and niche strategies for growth. It will also give global and Indian investors the potential to invest in their preferred vertical, broadening the investor base for Vedanta assets.

Vedanta Limited will remain an exciting incubator for new businesses, including Vedanta’s technology verticals buttressed by the strong financial earnings of the Tier-one Hindustan Zinc assets. The company will provide investors with the opportunity to invest in some of the world’s leading zinc production assets with a clear capital allocation policy while benefiting from these nascent technology companies until they too are ready to be released as independent, globally significant businesses.

The announcement comes at a time when India is forecast to be the fastest-growing major economy for the next several years. More than ninety percent of Vedanta Ltd’s profits are derived in India. Demand for commodities is expected to rise exponentially as the country continues to build a world-class infrastructure and strives to achieve aggressive targets for the energy transition, which is highly mineral-intensive. The Government of India’s emphasis on self-reliance will provide avenues for rapid growth for Indian companies in the commodities space.

Vedanta Limited is committed to best-in-class ESG practices and has a strong focus on metals critical for the transition to a green economy. The company has pledged Rs 5000 crore over the next five years on various social impact programs and its flagship project, Nand Ghar, is setting up model anganwadis across India. Vedanta Ltd. has been listed in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index 2022, conferred the Golden Peacock Award for excellence in Corporate Governance 2022, and certified as a Great Place to Work 2023. Vedanta Limited is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange.

The demergers will be conducted through a scheme process, and filing with stock exchanges for SEBI approval is expected in October 2023. The company will follow the customary process as per Indian law.
