Aarti Industries shares

Morgan Stanley has upgraded Aarti Industries to ‘equal-weight’ from ‘underweight’ and reduced its target price for the stock to Rs 484 apiece from Rs 597 apiece. According to brokerage, a 20 per cent dip in the stock and a similar cut in estimates in the last six months have priced in concerns amid limited downside triggers.

Tech Mahindra shares
