ReNew Commissions Record 2.4 GW in FY2026, Becomes India's Second-Largest Renewable Operator

-- Indian firm ReNew Energy Global Plc commissioned approximately 2.4 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity in the fiscal year ended Mar. 31, its highest-ever annual addition, lifting its total operating portfolio to about 12.6 GW, the second-largest in India, the company said in a statement on Wednesday.

The figure reflects an adjustment for 600 megawatts of assets sold during the year. The newly commissioned capacity includes around 1.75 GW of solar, 0.62 GW of wind, and 25 MW/100 MWh of battery energy storage systems. The company added that roughly 450 MW of fully constructed capacity is expected to be commissioned soon. Its total gross capacity stood at about 20 GW at fiscal year-end.

ReNew, which has operated in India's clean energy sector for more than 15 years, continues to expand across both utility-scale and commercial and industrial segments. Its commercial and industrial arm, ReNew Green, has about 2.5 GW of committed capacity, with more than 2.0 GW already operational. The division counts major global firms, including Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, among its partners. In March 2026, ReNew Green secured $95 million in equity funding from a consortium led by LeapFrog Investments.

In solar manufacturing, ReNew reported 6.5 GW of module capacity and 2.5 GW of cell capacity currently in operation, with plans to expand cell capacity by an additional 4 GW by December 2026.

During FY2026, its facilities produced over 4.1 GW of modules and nearly 1.86 GW of cells. Earlier in the year, the manufacturing business received a $100 million equity investment from British International Investment.

The company operates more than 150 renewable energy sites and three solar manufacturing facilities across 10 Indian states, employing roughly 4,500 people. At its current operating capacity, ReNew said it generates enough clean energy to power approximately 24 million households and avoid about 23 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions annually.

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Buy Rating On Shares Of Quest Diagnostics

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We keep our 12-month price target at $235. This is based on a forward P/E of 21.9x our 2026 EPS estimate, a premium to DGX's three-year forward average of 16.8x due to our view of strengthening sales and earnings growth, backed by higher health care utilization trends and some regulatory relief due to postponement of lab reimbursement cuts until at least 2027. We think lab testing providers remain a relatively well-positioned area within health care given lower policy risks, supportive testing demand, and attractive earnings growth potential. On a compounded annual basis from 2025-2028, we expect near 8% EPS growth, raising our 2026 EPS to $10.73 from $10.60 and 2027 EPS to $11.50 from $11.42. We also anticipate additional smaller M&A opportunities, along with healthy dividend increases (recent 7.5% boost; shares yield 1.7%) as cash flow generation remains supportive over the near term.

Research Alert: Pega: Q1 Results Miss, But Strength In Pega Cloud Offsets

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:PEGA reported total revenue of $430M, missing consensus by $37.2M and declining 10% Y/Y, while non-GAAP EPS of $0.46 missed by $0.23 and fell 39% Y/Y. However, Pega Cloud revenue surged 36% Y/Y to $205M, now representing 47.7% of total revenue and validating the cloud transition thesis. Pega Cloud annual contract value (ACV) acceleration remains the standout metric, growing 29% Y/Y to $906.7M and accelerating from 23% growth in Q1, demonstrating continued strong demand for the company's AI workflow automation platform. Total ACV grew 12% Y/Y to $1.62B, with backlog increasing 16% Y/Y to $2.01B providing revenue visibility. We believe the robust cash flow generation of $206.5M in free cash flow and a solid balance sheet with $474M in cash provides financial flexibility for continued AI investment. Despite near-term profitability pressure, we expect the sustained Pega Cloud momentum and strong ACV growth to support the business transformation.
