Stock Picks Today: Urban Company, NMDC, Titan, Tata Steel, Maruti Suzuki On Brokerages’ Radar
The Indian stock market has been abuzz with activity, with several top brokerages releasing their recommendations for the day. In this article, we will delve into the details of these recommendations and provide an in-depth analysis of the stocks in focus.
NMDC Ltd. Cuts Iron Ore Prices
NMDC Ltd. has cut iron ore prices by 9% and fines prices by 10%. This move has come as a surprise to the brokerage, with Morgan Stanley expecting domestic iron ore prices to be stable or rise somewhat in the near term. However, the brokerage sees this as incrementally positive for JSW Steel/Jindal Steel, given their partial dependency on external iron ore.
UBS Global Research has upgraded NMDC Ltd. to Buy from Neutral, with a target price of Rs 4,700 from Rs 3,600. The brokerage believes that the company’s earnings will rebound, leading to an increase in its multiple towards the five-year average.
Titan: A Structural Winner
UBS Global Research believes that Titan is on the cusp of a major rebound, making it a structural winner. The lab-grown diamonds threat is manageable, and the brokerage believes that Titan’s value proposition remains competitive. As its earnings rebound, the brokerage expects its multiple to rise towards the five-year average.
Morgan Stanley has initiated an Underweight rating with a target price of Rs 117. The company has a differentiated business with steady growth in the price. However, the brokerage expects growth to be in the price, leading to an Underweight rating.
Urban Company: A Large Addressable Market
Urban Company has a large addressable market in online home services, supported by competitive moats and an experienced founding team. Morgan Stanley has given an Underweight rating, citing that growth is in the price. However, the brokerage expects core India consumer services NTV to grow at a healthy CAGR of 18-22% over financial year 2025-2028.
Goldman Sachs has initiated coverage with a Neutral rating and a target price of Rs 140. The brokerage believes that Urban Company has a strong business model and execution track record, with a 24% revenue CAGR expected over financial year 2025 and 2030.
Tata Steel: Poised for Sustainable Growth
Nomura has initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a target price of Rs 215. The company has a strong growth in India and a turnaround in Europe, with improving macros suggesting significant upside potential. Tata Steel is poised for sustainable growth and margin upside, with the company expected to maintain its cost advantage.
Maruti Suzuki: Recovery in First-Time Buyers
Morgan Stanley believes that Maruti Suzuki India’s market share will drive up due to a recovery in the number of first-time buyers, strength in rural areas, and a good response to the new SUV launch. The rising share of EVs in exports will benefit the average selling price, and the brokerage expects a margin expansion in the third quarter on leverage gains and the fourth quarter to benefit from pricing recovery.
