Verdict

🏆 CG Power > Kaynes Tech

CG Power: Buy on dips (₹880-920). Quality compounder with superior ROCE, strong order book, institutional support, and Murugappa governance. Valuation premium is justified by execution — but requires quarterly monitoring.

Kaynes Tech: Avoid at current levels. Compelling OSAT/PCB narrative destroyed by broken guidance, promoter selling, and 271x core P/E. Re-evaluate at ₹2,800-3,000 after 2 quarters of OSAT revenue data.
