Brokerage Sets 20–24% Upside Targets for Four Stocks
MOFSL is a brokerage that has given positive opinions about four companies.
It believes Tata Steel could benefit from stronger steel prices and growing demand in India.
It set a target price of Rs 220 for Tata Steel.
It also expects Solar Industries to grow as it makes more defense products, including ammunition and rockets.
Its target for Solar Industries is Rs 23,000.
Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services could benefit from faster digital lending and more business through its branches.
MOFSL also said IDFC First Bank is improving its controls, asset quality and profits.
However, Tata Steel’s European business still depends on regulations, energy costs and steel-price spreads.
MOFSL retained a Buy rating on Tata Steel with a Rs 220 target, implying 20% upside.
MOFSL initiated coverage on Solar Industries with a Buy rating and a Rs 23,000 target, implying 24% upside.
Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services received a reiterated Buy rating with a Rs 430 target and 21% upside potential.
MOFSL said IDFC First Bank’s controls, asset quality and profitability trends are improving, with GNPA and NNPA estimated to moderate by FY28E.
The brokerage cited steel-price strength, defense-product expansion, digital lending tools and improving bank metrics as key drivers, while noting risks around Tata Steel Europe and cost inflation.

“We remain constructive on Tata Steel, given the ongoing capacity expansions, favorable steel pricing, and resilient demand, which should position the company to capitalise on the long-term domestic opportunity. Tata Steel Europe’s earnings remain contingent on regulatory decisions and spread movement, given the volatility in pricing and energy costs”
