[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1]
Leading brokerage firms have shared optimistic views on Kotak Mahindra Bank and NTPC, highlighting their growth potential and strategic advancements for the year 2025.

Citi has upgraded Kotak Mahindra Bank to a 'Buy,' citing strong loan growth momentum, improved delinquency trends, and a favorable medium-term outlook.


Meanwhile, Investec sees NTPC's recent stock correction as a lucrative entry point, maintaining a 'Buy' rating as the company strengthens its coal-based capacity and accelerates its shift toward renewable energy.

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


Citi on Kotak Mahindra Bank: Upgrade to ‘Buy’, target price at Rs 2,070 | LTP Rs 1,788 | Upside 15%


Citi has upgraded Kotak Mahindra Bank to a 'Buy' rating with a target price of Rs 2,070, indicating a potential upside of 15% from the current market price of Rs 1,788.

The bank has been placed under a 90-day positive catalyst watch, driven by sustained loan growth momentum and improving delinquency trends, which are expected to further enhance profitability.Credit cost expectations have already been factored in at higher levels, and the medium-term growth outlook has been adjusted to reflect a relatively low beta profile.

Investec on NTPC: Maintain Buy | Target Rs 421 (from Rs 457) | LTP Rs 333 | Upside 26%


Investec has maintained a 'Buy' rating on NTPC with a revised target price of Rs 421 (down from Rs 457), offering a potential upside of 26% from the current market price of Rs 333.

The recent stock correction is seen as an opportunity for investors, given NTPC's strong and stable coal-based capacity within a risk-averse, regulated business model.

The company is also making significant strides toward cleaner energy by focusing on adding renewable capacities. A 25% holding discount has been assigned to its green business segment.
