Shares of Dixon Technologies (India) Ltd. and Amber Enterprises India Ltd. have scaled all-time highs, recovering from their 52-week lows. Yet, Credit Suisse bets on a further upside for the stocks as the research firm initiates coverage on the contract manufacturers for consumer durable makers with an ‘outperform’ rating.

Dixon Technologies’ stock has rebounded nearly four times from its 52-week low of Rs 2,899 on March 24, 2020. It hit an all-time high of Rs 11,999 on Nov. 27. But a strong near-term growth momentum, still reasonable valuations on FY23E basis and incremental performance-linked incentive approvals, according to Credit Suisse, may further aid the rally. The global financial services provider has set a price target of Rs 14,000 apiece on the stock, implying a 21.5% upside from Monday’s closing levels.

Shares of Amber Enterprises, on the other hand, have more than doubled from their 52-week low of Rs 920.9 apiece on April 13, 2020, and hit a record high of Rs 2,544.95 apiece on Oct. 19. That, Credit Suisse Analyst Lokesh Garg said a note, may get a further boost from a “strong extant platform in terms of customers, manufacturing and track record, near-term growth visibility and opportunities from exports, PLI, along with reasonable valuations”.

The research firm has set a price target of Rs 3,000 apiece on Amber Enterprises, implying a potential upside of 31% from Monday’s closing.
