Inventory valuations at 53x 1yr fwd P/E pretty prices-in near-term earnings in our view; therefore, we await a greater entry level.

Based mostly on the Ministry of Energy’s session paper dated 1-Jun-2021, the primary section of market-based financial dispatch (MBED) was to be carried out from 1-Apr-2022. Forward of this, the CERC was required to align laws for implementing this.
