“Suzlon has gained 120 percent in the last 6 months, and is outperforming the Nifty by 93 percent. This is driven by strong order book growth and healthy balance sheet/cash flows from operations. But we now see the risk-reward dynamics more balanced, and are waiting for stronger execution than our base case to turn more constructive,” it said.
