Groww Q4 Review: Brokerages See More Upside Potential — Check Revised Target Prices Groww, the stock broking platform under parent company Billionbrains Garage Ventures Ltd, reported strong fourth-quarter results that have prompted brokerages to revise their target prices and outlook. The company’s revenue surged 22% quarter-on-quarter to Rs 1,536 crore, up from Rs 1,261 crore in the previous quarter. Net profit also grew significantly, rising 26% to Rs 686 crore compared to Rs 547 crore in the same period last year. These figures exceeded market expectations, leading analysts to adjust their forecasts and express renewed confidence in the platform’s growth trajectory. Following the results, most brokerages have shifted their stance toward a more positive outlook. UBS, for instance, maintained a Neutral rating but raised its target price to Rs 210 from Rs 185. The brokerage attributed this optimism to strong growth driven by operating leverage and increased market share. UBS also highlighted the company’s robust product metrics and noted that its expanding wealth management platform provides strategic flexibility, even as margins remain balanced due to continued investments offset by cost discipline. Jefferies and Citi took a more bullish approach, both reiterating their Buy ratings while increasing their target prices. Jefferies raised its target to Rs 225 from Rs 210, citing a 6% beat in profit after tax (PAT) driven by higher revenues from commodity trading and margin trading facilities (MTFs). The brokerage emphasized that new initiatives are already contributing to performance improvements and pointed to further upside potential. Citi, meanwhile, lifted its target to Rs 230 from Rs 225, praising the company’s steady execution of its wealth and product diversification strategy.#ubs #jefferies #groww #billionbrains_garage_ventures_ltd #citi
Tesla Rockets 8% as AI5 Milestone and Rare Analyst Upgrade Remind Bears What This Stock Can Do Tesla stock surged 8% in midday trading on Wednesday, rising from $364.20 to $392, driven by a UBS upgrade to Neutral from Sell and the completion of the AI5 autonomous-driving chip’s tape-out milestone. The rally has reignited optimism among bulls, even as the stock remains down 13% year-to-date heading into the session. Analysts and investors are closely watching the move, which highlights the volatility of Tesla’s stock and its sensitivity to news catalysts. The rally follows a prolonged selloff that saw Tesla’s shares decline 25% over the prior 12 months before this year’s pullback. Despite the recent gains, the stock’s long-term trajectory remains uncertain, with sharp swings in both directions. The UBS upgrade, which keeps its price target at $352—still below the current trading price—carries weight despite its modest nature. The firm argued that Tesla’s current share levels better balance near-term challenges, such as EV demand concerns and capital spending, with its long-term potential in physical AI. UBS acknowledged that Tesla’s stock is heavily influenced by sentiment and momentum rather than fundamentals, a factor that amplified the market’s reaction to the upgrade. The AI5 milestone marked a critical engineering checkpoint, signaling the completion of the chip’s design before manufacturing begins. The AI5 chip is expected to deliver a 50x performance improvement over its predecessor, AI4, with production slated for 2027. Tesla is also developing an AI6 inference chip for 2028, while construction of the Cortex 2 AI training compute facility at Gigafactory Texas is underway. This facility is projected to more than double onsite compute capacity in the first half of 2026.#ubs #tesla #elon_musk #ai5 #gigafactory_texas
Wipro to Report Q4 FY26 Results Amid Mixed Outlook Wipro, one of India’s leading IT services companies, is set to release its quarterly financial results for the fiscal year ending April 2026 on April 16, 2026, following market hours. The announcement comes amid a challenging business environment, with analysts projecting a modest revenue growth but cautioning about potential declines in organic expansion and profit margins. The company’s performance will be closely watched as it navigates a competitive sector and explores new avenues for growth. The results are expected to show a revenue increase of 1.1% in U.S. dollars and 4.1% in Indian rupees compared to the same period last year. However, the growth is anticipated to be tempered by slower-than-expected organic revenue growth, which measures the company’s ability to expand its business without relying on acquisitions. Analysts also expect profit margins to face pressure, reflecting the broader industry trend of rising operational costs and subdued demand in key markets. In addition to the financial results, Wipro’s board will deliberate on a significant share buyback program, which could range between ₹16,000 crore and ₹18,000 crore. This marks the company’s first such initiative in three years and signals its confidence in its financial position. A share buyback typically aims to boost shareholder value by reducing the number of outstanding shares, which can increase earnings per share and potentially elevate stock prices. The company is also advancing into new markets and sectors through a strategic partnership with Olam Group, a global leader in food and agribusiness. Under the deal, Wipro will invest $1 billion to collaborate with Olam on projects related to food processing, supply chain optimization, and sustainable agriculture.#india #ubs #wipro #clsa #olam_group
UBS Athletics Kids Cup Targets 1 Million Children as 2026 Season Begins Mumbai, April 2: The UBS Athletics Kids Cup, now in its third season, is expanding its reach with a goal of inspiring one million children across India to engage in sports through athletics-based activities. The initiative, organized by Dspowerparts and supported by UBS, has seen rapid growth in its first two years and is now scaling up its operations to new cities, enhancing its school-based model, and systematically expanding its nationwide “train-the-trainers” program to integrate sports into the Indian education system long-term. The program will be held in Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Chennai, with additional cities expected to join during the 2026 season. While the one-million target is a significant milestone, the organizers emphasize that this is not a 2026 deadline but rather a strategic step to strengthen the program’s infrastructure and reach. The focus remains on increasing participant numbers while building a sustainable system that supports athletics education for children. A core component of the initiative is the “Train-the-Trainers” program, designed to equip physical education teachers with the tools and resources needed to conduct athletics activities in schools. This program is modeled after Switzerland’s UBS Kids Cup, which has produced notable achievements, including the recent indoor heptathlon world record holder, Simon Ehammer. The Swiss initiative aims to promote physical activity, health, and personal development for children aged 7 to 15, and the Indian version seeks to replicate this success by embedding athletics into the education system. Competitions are structured through schools, with participants advancing from local events to regional and city-level finals in a multi-stage format.#mumbai #hyderabad #ubs #pune #dspowerparts
Strong Growth, Limited Upside: UBS Initiates 'Neutral' Coverage On Coforge — Check Target Price UBS has launched coverage on Coforge with a Neutral rating and a target price of Rs 1,240, citing the company’s strong growth history but highlighting concerns about its acquisition-driven strategy and positioning in the AI-driven IT services sector. The brokerage acknowledges Coforge’s consistent execution, with revenue growth driven by a mix of organic momentum and acquisitions. The company has historically delivered double-digit growth, supported by significant deal wins and client additions. However, UBS notes that much of this growth has already been reflected in the stock’s valuation. The stock has seen a sharp rerating in recent years, and while valuations remain reasonable on certain metrics, the risk-reward balance at current levels limits further upside. The brokerage suggests that investors should approach the stock with caution, as the potential for additional gains appears constrained. Coforge continues to benefit from a robust order book and strong client pipeline, particularly in sectors like BFSI, travel, and insurance. The company has also demonstrated its ability to scale through acquisitions, expanding both its capabilities and geographic reach. Despite this, UBS flags acquisition-related risks as a key concern. The recent Encora deal, for instance, is expected to result in equity dilution of around 20%, raising worries about integration challenges, margin pressures, and execution risks. The brokerage notes that the acquisition is unlikely to be earnings-per-share (EPS)-accretive in the short term unless Coforge can deliver stronger-than-expected growth and synergies. In terms of AI positioning, UBS evaluates Coforge using its proprietary VECTOR framework, which assesses companies on AI readiness.#ubs #motilal_oswal #coforge #encora #bfsi

HDFC Bank shares continue to trade in the red following Chakraborty’s sudden exit; Check what analysts said HDFC Bank’s non-executive chairman, Atanu Chakraborty, abruptly resigned on March 18, citing differences over “values and ethics.” The management of the country’s second-largest lender described the reason as baffling, as Chakraborty did not provide specific instances despite repeated requests. Keki Mistry, a veteran of the HDFC Bank Group, was appointed as interim chairman, stating there may have been “relationship issues” between Chakraborty and the executive leadership but found no “substantive” concerns behind the departure. Mistry emphasized that the bank’s operations and governance remain stable. This marks the first time the part-time chairman of HDFC Bank has left midway, raising concerns about the bank’s functioning. JPMorgan noted that the chairman’s exit adds to existing macroeconomic challenges, potentially weighing on investor sentiment and increasing market volatility in the near term. The firm highlighted two key points from Chakraborty’s resignation letter: his mention of “certain happenings and practices within the bank… not in congruence with my personal values and ethics” and the fact that the benefits of the HDFC Bank–HDFC Ltd merger have not yet fully materialized. Analysts suggest the stock is likely to face continued pressure following the resignation announcement, with the impact amplified by a softer macroeconomic environment and geopolitical uncertainties. They warned that the reasons cited could signal potential material disagreements between the board and management, which might affect decision-making and execution. JPMorgan noted that while the letter does not allege specific misconduct, the perception alone could weigh on sentiment until credible steps are outlined and implemented.#ubs #hdfc_bank #jpmorgan #keki_mistry #atanu_chakraborty

The stock reached a 52-week high of ₹6,554 this week, reflecting optimism about its prospects in India’s industrial sector. UBS’s upgrade suggests confidence in ABB India’s ability to capitalize on rising demand for automation and electrification.

The stock has surged 23.5% year-to-date and 24.9% over the past year, with a market cap near ₹1.35 trillion. Analysts note that the upgrade has bolstered investor sentiment, with the stock hitting a new 52-week high. Technical indicators suggest a strong uptrend, with the stock trading above the upper Bollinger Band near ₹6,349. Momentum metrics like RSI at 68.82 and Stochastic %K at 95.13 indicate overbought conditions, while ADX at 39.83 signals a firm upward trend. Key support levels include the Bollinger middle band around ₹5,996 and the 50-day moving average at ₹5,542, while resistance remains near the 52-week high at ₹6,554.

ABB India Share Price Target Raised by Over 50% by UBS After Upgrade to 'Buy' Shares of ABB India Ltd. opened higher on Friday, March 13, following an upgrade from Swiss brokerage UBS. The firm raised its rating on the stock to 'Buy' from 'Neutral' and significantly increased its price target to ₹8,030 from ₹5,310. This revised target suggests a potential upside of approximately 26% compared to Thursday’s closing level. UBS also added ABB India to its Asia-Pacific key call list, highlighting an improved risk-reward profile driven by both structural and cyclical growth factors. The brokerage noted a shift in the company’s revenue mix toward niche and scalable end markets, which are expanding at two to four times the rate of real GDP. The firm pointed to a positive short-cycle outlook, which has improved after a recent slowdown. This recovery is attributed to a cascading effect from recent capital expenditure decisions, supportive budget measures, trade agreements, and the potential resurgence in base and large-ticket orders. UBS believes the market may have underestimated ABB India’s capacity to capture a larger share of the total addressable market in emerging niche segments within its motion and electrification businesses. The brokerage revised its forecasts for the 2025-2028 period, projecting order, revenue, EBITDA, and profit after tax compound annual growth rates (CAGR) of 18%, 16%, 20%, and 20%, respectively. These figures are significantly higher than current consensus expectations. Among the 31 analysts tracking the stock, 13 have a 'Buy' rating, 10 recommend 'Hold,' and eight maintain a 'Sell' call. On Friday, ABB India shares were trading 1.42% higher at ₹6,505, with the stock up about 26% year-to-date.#capital_expenditure #ubs #abb_india #asian_pacific #motion_electrification
L&T shares fall after second price target cut in two days due to West Asia crisis Shares of Larsen and Toubro (L&T) Ltd. dropped nearly 3% on Thursday, March 12, following a second price target cut in two days. The decline came amid concerns over the ongoing West Asia crisis, which has disrupted business operations and investor sentiment. Despite the drop, the stock showed signs of recovery later in the trading session. Brokerage firm Kotak Institutional Equities revised its price target for L&T shares to ₹4,000 per share from ₹4,350, maintaining a 'buy' rating. The revised target suggests a potential 4% upside from the stock’s previous closing price. This follows a similar cut by UBS, which reduced its target price by nearly 8% earlier in the week. Both adjustments reflect growing caution among analysts about the company’s exposure to regional instability. L&T has remained a focal point for investors and analysts since the Iran-Israel-US conflict escalated on February 28. The company’s significant business presence in West Asia has made it vulnerable to disruptions caused by the crisis. According to JM Financial, L&T’s order book exposure to the region stands at 37%, with 33% of its order inflows coming from the first nine months of the current fiscal year. This highlights the company’s reliance on West Asian markets for revenue. Kotak Institutional Equities warned that the crisis could strain L&T’s near-term financials through multiple channels, including delayed projects and reduced customer spending. The firm noted that the long-term impact of the conflict on regional spending patterns remains uncertain, making it difficult to predict the extent of the company’s challenges.#ubs #west_asia_crisis #kotak_institutional_equities #larsen_and_toubro #iran_israel_us_conflict

UBS Sees Prolonged Supply Tightness Supporting Micron Technology, Inc. (MU) Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MU) has been highlighted by UBS as a stock benefiting from extended supply constraints in the semiconductor industry. On March 2, the investment bank raised its price target for Micron to $475 from $450 while maintaining a Buy recommendation. UBS analysts noted that supply shortages in both DRAM and NAND markets are expected to persist through 2026, with DRAM shortages potentially lasting into 2028. The firm suggested Micron is using this supply tightness to secure long-term contracts with customers, which could stabilize pricing in the short term while improving revenue predictability and earnings resilience over the next several years. Micron also announced the opening of a new semiconductor assembly and test facility in Sanand, Gujarat, India, on March 1. This facility processes advanced DRAM and NAND wafers from Micron’s global manufacturing network into finished memory and storage products. Once fully operational, the Sanand site will cover over 500,000 square feet of cleanroom space, significantly expanding Micron’s backend manufacturing capacity. This move strengthens the company’s supply chain diversification and positions it to meet growing demand in key markets. Founded in 1978 and based in Boise, Idaho, Micron is a leading U.S.-based manufacturer of high-performance semiconductor memory and storage solutions. Its products include DRAM, NAND flash, and NOR memory, which are used in applications such as artificial intelligence, advanced computing, and data-intensive systems across data centers, mobile devices, automotive, and industrial sectors. The company markets its technologies under brands like Micron and Crucial.#india #ubs #micron_technology #sanand #gujarat
UBS Advises Clients to Sell Downside Protection in Gold and Silver Amid Geopolitical Volatility Gold and silver remain supported despite heightened geopolitical tensions, with UBS recommending investors sell downside protection in both metals as the bank anticipes limited risk of prices falling below key levels in the near term. The bank’s strategy focuses on capitalizing on elevated market volatility, which has created opportunities in the options market. The recommendation comes amid a turbulent environment for precious metals, driven by the escalation of the U.S./Israel-Iran conflict, which has unsettled global markets and pushed investors toward safe-haven assets. UBS reiterated a bullish outlook for gold, citing macroeconomic factors such as expectations of lower interest rates, a weaker dollar, and continued demand from central banks. The bank targets a price of USD 6,200 per ounce over the coming months. Rather than positioning for a decline, UBS prefers strategies that benefit from prices remaining above certain thresholds. The bank suggests selling downside protection for gold below USD 4,700 per ounce over the next month, reflecting confidence that the metal is unlikely to fall below that level. Selling downside protection typically involves put options, allowing investors to collect premium income while betting prices will stay above a specific threshold. A similar outlook applies to silver, with UBS noting that fundamental drivers for higher prices remain intact. The bank highlights factors such as lower nominal and real interest rates, global debt concerns, USD debasement considerations, and expectations of robust economic growth in 2026. Volatility in silver markets has surged, with option volatility reaching around 70%, creating attractive conditions for options-based strategies.#silver #gold #ubs #us_israel_iran_conflict #options_market
