Why Is Suzlon Stock Struggling For Momentum and Is there A Way Back Up?

The third calendar quarter of 2025 has been very challenging for Suzlon Energy stock, despite the company’s track record of outstanding success. Investors have grown concerned about the renewable energy company’s future after this drop, which comes after the stock’s soaring returns over the past year. 

Its financial figures for the quarter ending December 2024 were quite good, with a 91% increase in net profit and a record-high order book of 5.5 GW. However, the recent drop in Suzlon stock price implies that there is a gap between the status of its fundamentals and the market sentiment. There are a number of factors behid this divergence, and we discuss them below:

Why Is Suzlon Stock Price Declining?

• Valuation vs Market Sentiment: The shift in market attitude is the most important thing right now. Some analysts and investors are worried about the stock’s value after it surged at a staggering rate. As a result of the upsurge, the stock’ price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio has been high, which means it could drop if profit growth doesn’t match or exceed what the market expects. Some analysts have suggested selling or holding the stock, and that has added to the negative pressure on the share price.
• Disappointing Earnings: Even though Suzlon (NSE: SUZLON) was profitable on paper, the first quarter of Q1 2026 (April–June) announced in early August had figures that were largely disappointing. Consolidated net sales dropped 17.23% year over year to ₹3,179.58 crore, which was less than what analysts had projected for continued growth. Even while net profit was up 7.29% to ₹324.32 crore, the fact that it was lower than the ₹2,071.63 crore profit in Q4 FY25 pointed to potential underlying challenges with execution.
• Top Leadership Change: As the company navigates a way out of market perception, the recent disruptive leadership change has increased the downward pressure. The sudden resignation of Group CFO Himanshu Mody in August made investors even less confident. Mody played an important role in restructuring Suzlon’s debt and turning around its finances. He departed at a time when the company is reportedly preparing for internal restructuring, and the timing of his exit has raised concerns that strategic execution might be disrupted.
• Supply Chain and Execution Challenges:  While, Suzlon has seen its orderbook grow to record highs, problems with the supply chain persist. However, this is also being felt in the broader industry.  There are difficulties with the Indian renewable energy sector’s execution, such as hurdles with land acquisition, problems with transmission, and delays in commissioning projects. These problems could make it harder for Suzlon to fill its bulging order book quickly and efficiently. If the company takes too long to turn these orders into money, it could lose investors’ trust and slow down its financial growth.

Outlook for the Remainder of 2025

For the remainder of 2025, Suzlon stock price looks likely to be swayed by a mix of steady improvement in the fundamentals and market volatility. The stock will likely be under a lot of pressure in the short term. However, the company’s underlying business is still strong, and a number of things might cause a comeback.

Strong order book and manufacturing capacity: Suzlon’s order book of 5.5 GW, which is the highest it’s ever been, is a strong sign of future sales and profits. The company’s annual manufacturing capacity has also been growing, and it is now at 4.5 GW. Suzlon is ready to leverage the rising demand for wind energy in India because of this operational readiness. Suzlon plans to finish its existing order book by the end of FY26, which should bring in a constant stream of money.

Financial Turnaround: The company’s steady growth in profits and sales from one quarter to the next shows that its finances are getting better. Analysts at several brokerage firms have kept their “buy” or “accumulate” ratings, and the target prices show that the stock has a lot of room to grow. This means that even though things are tough right now, the long-term fundamentals are still strong.

In Summary

In essence, Suzlon’s challenges in Q3 are due to lower-than-expected profits, changes in leadership, and operational issues that wiped out YTD gains. However, it has a substantial volume of orders and good policies that will help it recover in the coming months.

Long-term investors might see value at current levels, but prices could still swing fast in the short term. Investors will be closely examining the company’s ability to fulfill its orders and deal with the challenges in the sector for the rest of the year. This will determine whether Suzlon stock price can regain its lost momentum.
