Bernstein on PFC (CMP:413)

The global brokerage has maintained an 'outperform' rating on the largecap PSU with a target price of Rs 525.

PFC gave a 10-11 per cent loan book growth guidance for FY26 against an expectation of 13 per cent, as per the brokerage.
Bernstein sees a high likelihood of the company meeting its guidance.

Jefferies on ONGC (CMP:249)

The global brokerage has maintained a 'buy' call on the oil PSU that announced its Q4 results on Wednesday with a target price of Rs 375.
It says that ONGC's 4Q standalone EBITDA at Rs 190bn (+9 per cent y/y, flat q/q) was marginally below JEFe.
Its profit after tax of 31 per cent was below JEFe on higher exploratory well write-offs, the brokerage says.
Its consolidated EBIDTA was 14 per cent ahead of JEFe, while the largecap firm's daily crude and gas production has risen for the second successive quarter, as per the brokerage.
Macquarie on ONGC (CMP:249)

Macquarie has maintained an 'outperform' rating on the oil PSU with a target price of Rs 310.
The global brokerage says that its Q4 in-line production and profit miss were due to higher exploration costs.
Production volumes are showing positive momentum after 7 years of decline, Macquarie says in its report.
This is driven by new site additions and expected production increases in legacy fields, says the brokerage.
The ONGC stock clodes trading on BSE on Thursday at Rs 418.55.
CLSA on ONGC (CMP:249)

CLSA has maintained a 'buy' call on the firm with a target price of Rs 360.
The company's standalone 4Q EBIDTA of Rs 196 billion (CLe: Rs 201 billion) was 3 per cent below estimates, says the brokerage.
It further says that ONGC reported a PAT of Rs 64.5 million which is 22 per cent short of the forecast, largely due to a big drywell write-off recognised in 4Q.
Its standalone oil/gas production rose 5 per cent/4 per cent YoY, says the brokerage.
