COMMERCIAL BREAK

Morgan Stanley maintains an ‘overweight’ rating on Bharti Airtel with a target price of Rs 860 apiece. According to the brokerage, the telecom company has been the first mover in taking entry-level tariffs higher and competition has still not reacted.

Bharti Airtel has rolled out higher minimum recharge plans across two more circles, according to Morgan Stanley, which is of the view that these plans could eventually be rolled out pan-India.

Hero MotoCorp shares

Citi remains bullish on Hero MotoCorp with a ‘buy’ rating and a target price of Rs 3,300 apiece. According to the brokerage, demand drivers are in place but a revival is expected over the next 2-3 quarters. 

The brokerage highlights that the Hero MotoCorp Vida V1 electric scooter, currently available in three cities, will reach 10 cities by the end of the current financial year.

Samvardhana Motherson shares

Brokerages are divided on Samvardhana Motherson International after the auto part maker acquired Germany's SAS Autosystemtechnik.

Brokerage Rating Target price
CLSA Buy Rs 98
Morgan Stanley Underweight Rs 70
CITI Sell Rs 65
Nomura Neutral Rs 88

ITC shares

Goldman Sachs has a ‘buy’ call on ITC with a target of Rs 450 apiece.

The company's valuation is in line with the brokerage's estimates with a 15-year average despite ramp-up of its FMCG business and improved capital allocation. Goldman Sachs believes ITC's valuation discount to the India FMCG is way below long-term average.
