Hot Stocks: Brokerages on Escorts & SBI; CLSA downgrades Sula

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1]
Brokerage JPMorgan maintained an overweight rating on SBI and Macquarie upgraded Escorts to outperform. CLSA downgraded Sula to underperform while maintaining a sell on Asian Paints post Q4 results.

We have collated a list of recommendations from top brokerage firms from ETNow and other sources:


JPMorgan on SBI: Overweight| Target Rs 1000


JPMorgan maintained an overweight rating on SBI but raised the target price to Rs 1000 from Rs 725 earlier.

The FY24 print shows that the growth and the return on equity (ROE) gap to private banks has closed out.


The global investment bank expects a similar dynamic to sustain this year as well.Positioning is enviable with a growth pick-up in corporate loans, low pressure on opex, and a favourable asset quality environment.Despite potentially lower recovery income in FY25, we think the bank can continue to print 1%+ ROA.

CLSA on Sula: Underperform| Target Rs 515


CLSA downgraded Sula to underperform from a buy and also slashed the target price to Rs 515 from Rs 819 earlier.

The key markets may impact future growth. Margins were disappointed in Q4 due to higher other expenses.

Macquarie on Escorts: Outperform| Target Rs 3880


Macquarie upgraded Escorts to outperform from neutral and also raised the target price to Rs 3880 from Rs 2960 earlier.

FY25E should see domestic tractor demand recovery. The management expects exports to pick up in FY25.

The global investment bank expects a margin improvement to 13.6% in FY25.

CLSA on Asian Paints: Sell| Target Rs 2337


CLSA maintained a sell rating on Asian Paints but slashed the target price to Rs 2337 from Rs 2410 earlier.

The top-line growth is in negative territory, and there is contraction in margins. All eyes are on competitive activity in the sector.

The value growth will likely continue to lag volume growth due to price cuts taken in FY24.

India VIX jumps 100% in one month. Could fear levels take Nifty further down?

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Volatility in Indian equity markets has surged sharply over the past month, with the India VIX nearly doubling as geopolitical tensions and global uncertainty triggered aggressive selling in equities. India VIX, often referred to as the market’s fear gauge, has jumped close to 100% over the past month, reflecting growing nervousness among investors.

The escalation of tensions involving the United States, Israel and Iran has intensified market anxiety in recent days, pushing crude oil prices sharply higher and triggering a global risk-off sentiment. However, analysts note that volatility had already been building even before the conflict escalated, reflecting broader concerns around global growth, foreign capital outflows and stretched valuations in equities. The heightened uncertainty translated into a sharp ...

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty ended the week on a bearish note, closing over a percent lower each as a deepening selloff in IT stocks rattled investor sentiment amid mounting fears of AI-led disruption.

Bargain hunting kicked in at lower levels, sparking a sharp rebound as Infosys climbed 3% while Wipro gained 4%—helping both stocks close the week on a far stronger note. International brokerage firm JP Morgan has a message for panic-stricken investors: IT services firms are the indispensable "plumbers of the tech world" and their dividend yields have now hit levels last seen only during ...
