The bull case is Rs 468 to Rs 546 and the bear case is Rs 168 to Rs 210.

National Aluminium Company Share Price Target Scenarios: Bull Case, Base Case and Bear Case

Scenario	FY28E EPS	Target Multiple	Price Target (Rs)	Move vs Rs 337.25
Bull Case	Rs 52	9x to 10.5x	468 to 546	+38.8% to +61.9%

Bear Case	Rs 28	6x to 7.5x	168 to 210	-50.2% to -37.7%

FY28 EPS of Rs 42 in the base case compares with trailing EPS of Rs 36.76 and is close to the annualised Q1 level of about Rs 43, as it assumes aluminium prices ease from the Q1 peak. Metals stocks trade at 7 to 10 times earnings, and the stock trades at about 8 times the base estimate.

How Did National Aluminium Company Perform in Q1 FY27?

National Aluminium Company reported Q1 FY27 net profit of Rs 2,002.38 crore, up 88 percent from Rs 1,063.86 crore, on revenue from operations of Rs 5,302.38 crore, up 39 percent. Profit before tax rose 87 percent to Rs 2,649.66 crore. Together these Q1 FY27 numbers anchor the National Aluminium Company share price target.

Metric	Q1 FY27	Context
Net Profit	Rs 2,002.38 crore	Up 88% from Rs 1,063.86 crore
Revenue from Operations	Rs 5,302.38 crore	Up 39% YoY
EBITDA Margin	51.1%	Against 39.2% a year ago
Aluminium Revenue	Rs 4,184.8 crore	Up 43% YoY
Chemicals Revenue	Rs 1,569.9 crore	Down 3.6% YoY
Bauxite Excavation	19.52 lakh tonnes	Highest ever for a first quarter

Calcined alumina production of 5.77 lakh tonnes and alumina and hydrate sales of 3.47 lakh tonnes were also first-quarter records. The company targets 25 lakh tonnes of alumina and 4.73 lakh tonnes of aluminium metal in FY27 and plans to lift alumina capacity to 3.2 million tonnes by FY28. The FY27 outlook from management is the main input for these estimates. These numbers sit behind every range in the scenario table above, so they anchor the National Aluminium Company share price target.

Why Is NALCO Share Price 24 Percent Below Its April High?

NALCO shares are about 24 percent below the Rs 445.15 high of the week of 27 April 2026, even though the stock is up 50 percent in a year. It fell 11.7 percent in the week of 22 June and 6.6 percent in the week of 28 September.

After a rise to Rs 422.20 in the week of 10 August on the Q1 results, the stock gave back gains as aluminium prices cooled and investors took profit. It closed at Rs 337.25 near the Rs 329.50 low of the week of 28 September. The National Aluminium Company share price target scenarios below account for that move.

Key Catalysts for the National Aluminium Company Share Price Target in 2026

4 catalysts matter most for the National Aluminium Company share price target, and sector tailwinds in Aluminium and alumina are part of the case. Together they decide whether the base case is reached.

1. Aluminium Prices

Aluminium revenue rose 43 percent on favourable global prices. Firm prices lift margin fast. If it plays out, the National Aluminium Company share price target moves toward the top of the base range.

2. Record Volumes

First-quarter bauxite, alumina and sales volumes were the highest ever. Scale lowers unit cost. Strength here would support the upper end of the National Aluminium Company share price target.

3. Alumina Expansion

The company plans alumina capacity of 3.2 million tonnes by FY28 with higher capex. More alumina adds export revenue. Delivery on this point keeps the National Aluminium Company share price target on track.

4. Cash Returns

NALCO has no debt and yields 3.4 percent. A final dividend for FY26 was considered at the 31 July board. Better news here would lift the National Aluminium Company share price target toward the bull case.

What Are the Key Risks to the National Aluminium Company Share Price Target?

The main risks are a fall in aluminium prices, rising power and coal costs, project delays and policy on pricing. Each can pull the National Aluminium Company share price target lower.

Aluminium Price Fall

Profit depends on London Metal Exchange prices. A 15 percent fall would cut EBITDA sharply. If it materialises, the National Aluminium Company share price target would slip toward the bear case.

Power and Coal Costs

Energy is a large cost. Lower captive coal use would raise costs. This is the main downside risk to the National Aluminium Company share price target.

Project Delays

The expansion needs heavy capex. Delays would defer growth. A worsening here would cut the National Aluminium Company share price target toward the low end of the range.

Valuation Reset

A bear case EPS of Rs 28 at 6 times would put the price near Rs 168. Watch it closely, because it can pull the National Aluminium Company share price target lower quickly.

National Aluminium Company Stock Analysis: Support and Resistance Levels for the Share Price Target

National Aluminium Company stock analysis on weekly charts shows a range of Rs 329 to Rs 364 since mid-September, with the stock near the lower end.

The first support level is Rs 329.50 to Rs 333.35, the lows of the weeks of 28 September and 5 October. Below that, Rs 331 was the low of the week of 22 June, and a weekly close under Rs 329.50 would weaken the base.

The first resistance level is Rs 348.65 to Rs 354.75, the highs of the weeks of 5 and 28 September. Above that, Rs 361 to Rs 364 marks the September highs and Rs 385 to Rs 405 marks the August levels. These levels come from weekly price action, are not trade recommendations, and frame the near-term National Aluminium Company share price target.

National Aluminium Company Share Price Target 2026, 2027 and 2030: Short, Medium and Long Term

Short-Term National Aluminium Company Share Price Target (3 to 6 Months)

In the near term the stock is likely to trade between Rs 329 and Rs 364, from the late-September low to the mid-September high. A close above Rs 355 would put Rs 364 in play, while a weekly close under Rs 329.50 would put Rs 310 in play. The Q2 FY27 results are the main trigger. This range anchors the near-term National Aluminium Company share price target.

12-Month and 2027 National Aluminium Company Share Price Target

The 12-month target price is Rs 315 to Rs 399, valued on 7.5 to 9.5 times FY28 EPS of Rs 42. The range across scenarios runs from Rs 168 in the bear case to Rs 546 in the bull case.

Long-Term National Aluminium Company Share Price Target for FY29 to 2030

For FY29 to 2030 the Univest scenario range is Rs 322 to Rs 468. This assumes EPS of Rs 46 in FY29 and Rs 52 in FY30 and a multiple of 7 to 9 times. It needs aluminium prices to hold near current levels and the alumina expansion to be delivered. This is the long-term National Aluminium Company share price target in the Univest scenarios.

Bull Case and Bear Case for National Aluminium Company Share Price Target

Bull Case Rs 468 to Rs 546

The bull case of Rs 468 to Rs 546 for the National Aluminium Company share price target needs EPS of Rs 52 and the market to pay 9 to 10.5 times for it. It is +38.8% to +61.9% from the last close.

Bear Case Rs 168 to Rs 210

The bear case of Rs 168 to Rs 210 for the National Aluminium Company share price target equals 6 to 7.5 times FY28 EPS of Rs 28 and sits below the Rs 216 low. It is -50.2% to -37.7% from the last close.

Is National Aluminium Company a Good Buy at Rs 337? National Aluminium Company Buy or Sell View

Whether National Aluminium Company is a buy at Rs 337.25 depends on horizon and risk appetite. The base case sits between 7 percent below and 18 percent above the current price, the stock is 24 percent below its high, and the open question is aluminium prices.
