JSW Energy Share Price in Focus: GQG Sells ₹677 Crore Stake — 3 Key Things Investors Should Watch

US-based GQG Partners sold about 1.52 crore JSW Energy shares (roughly 0.87% of equity) via open-market transactions on December 9 for around ₹444 per share, raising about ₹677 crore.

On the day of the sale, JSW Energy’s share price dropped to ~₹451.2 with unusually high trading volume — but by day’s end, the stock recovered, indicating the market may have digested the news.

JSW Energy Financial Performance — Solid Revenue, Mixed Profit Picture

• In Q2 FY26, JSW Energy’s consolidated revenue rose by ~55% YoY to about ₹5,177 crore, driven by capacity additions and renewable/thermal segments.
• EBITDA surged ~67% YoY to ₹3,180 crore, showing strong operating performance.
• However, net profit fell ~17% YoY to ₹705 crore (from ₹853 crore earlier), due to higher depreciation/interest costs as the company ramps up expansion.

What to Watch Now — 3 Key Factors to Consider

1. Debt and Leverage Levels
   • As of Q2 FY26, JSW Energy’s consolidated net debt rose to ₹61,960 crore. Excluding under-construction assets, debt-to-EBITDA stands at ~4.8×, and net debt-to-equity is about 2.1×.
   • Monitoring how the company manages debt while expanding capacities will be crucial; delays or cost overruns could pressure the balance sheet.
2. Execution of Expansion and Renewable/Growth Projects
   • JSW Energy is aggressively expanding generation capacity via renewables and thermal/IPP acquisitions (e.g., Mahanadi, O2 Power), which drove the strong Q2 revenue.
   • Successful execution and timely commercialisation of these projects will determine future cash flows and profitability.
3. Demand Trends, Merchant Prices & Power Tariffs
   • Power demand has shown signs of recovery, and renewables are adding to generation mix.
   • Future tariffs, regulatory changes, and energy mix will influence profitability, any drop in merchant power prices or delays in contract renewals could affect margins.
