Suzlon Energy share price: Domestic brokerage firm JM Financial has recently cut its target price on Suzlon Energy post its visit to the company’s nacelle and hub assembly plant at Daman, even as it saw initiatives to enhance capabilities to handle more volume and higher-rating wind turbine generators (WTGs).

The brokerage, explaining the rationale for its price cut, cited the execution challenges constraining growth beyond FY27 and roll forwarding its EPS from December 2026 to March 2027. However, JM Financial has maintained its buy rating on the stock on the back of a strong order book.
