Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Plunges 5%; Brokerages Split on Outlook

Have you ever wanted to buy a toy, but some of your friends said it was a great idea while others said not to bother?

That is what is happening with a big car company in India called Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles.

Its shares, which are small pieces of ownership in the company, dropped by more than five percent recently.

Three smart money experts, called brokerages, looked at the company and gave three different opinions.

One expert, Motilal Oswal, says 'sell' because a part of the company called Jaguar Land Rover is having a hard time and the company owes more money.

Another expert, Nomura, says 'neutral', meaning it is neither a great buy nor a bad one.

The third expert, JM Financial, says 'add', because people in India are buying a lot of Tata cars.

Their ideas about how much the shares are worth are also very different.

The chairman of the big Tata group also said he will step down, which makes people wonder what will happen next.

In the end, nobody can say for sure what will happen, so people are told to think carefully before investing.
