Buy or sell: Stock recommendation by brokers for November 19, 2025 – The Times of India
Jefferies has initiated its coverage of WeWork India with a buy rating and a target price of Rs 790. Analysts said that the company is the largest flexible workspace operator by revenues in India. At about 17% compounded annual growth rate (CAGR), flexible workspace stock is growing at two times the pace of office stock, with room for further penetration. They said WeWork’s premium positioning helps command higher average revenue per member and margins than peers.Motilal Oswal Securities has initiated its coverage of PB Fintech with a neutral rating and a target price of Rs 2,000. Analysts expect PB Fintech to post a strong FY25-FY28 revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) and profit after tax (PAT) CAGR of 35%, 156% and 56%, respectively, after factoring in a strengthening position in under-penetrated credit and insurance industries. However, they believe the stock is fairly valued, and all positives are priced in at current levels. Any possibility of commission restructuring by insurance companies due to the loss of input tax credit post GST exemption poses a key risk for the company’s top-line growth.Morgan Stanley has an overweight rating on Eternal (formerly Zomato) with the target price at Rs 427. They believe Eternal has the best risk-reward matrix and investors would use the current weakness to accumulate the stock. Like Eternal’s strategy of doubling down on customer market share as wallet share expansion can follow later. Theyassume a stress case of higher aggression could mean push out of profitability but this is not a game changer. They are assuming a stress case scenario where the stock would bottom out at Rs 280 – Rs 285.UBS has a buy rating on Max Healthcare Institute with the target price at Rs 1,550. Analysts expect the company’s brownfield capacity addition to drive growth and earnings. The management said that it recently commissioned a Mohali facility including an oncology facility. It’s also commissioning a facility at Nanavati hospital inMumbai.Also the construction activity at other new hospitals is progressing well. The management indicated that the issues related to cashless service for insurance patients has been resolved and mentioned there was no/only limited impact as patients shift from insurance to cash in such instances.Nomura has a neutral rating on Oil India with the target price at Rs 430. Analysts said the company’s July-Sept quarter was a soft one as volumes were impacted by external factors. The expansion work at Numaligarh Refinery was on track, with first crude intake expected next month and a meaningful volume uptick by the July-Sept quarter ofnext year. Analysts cut Oil India’s FY26 and FY27 profit estimates by 37% and 18%, respectively, to reflect: Lower gas sales volume, lower crude price realizations, higher depletion & depreciation expenses, and sharply higher exploratory write-offs and impairments.

New Delhi: Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella will begin a three-day visit to India on December 10.
The India-born tech leader will travel to Delhi, Bengaluru, and Mumbai as part of his tour, during which he is expected to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi, IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, and other senior government officials.
Nadella will start his visit in Delhi on December 10, move to Bengaluru on December 11, and conclude in Mumbai on December 12. This will be one of his several visits to India in recent years as Microsoft continues to expand its presence and strengthen its position in the fast-growing cloud and AI services market.
During his earlier visit in January this year, Nadella had announced a $3 billion investment to build cloud and AI infrastructure in India and to support skilling programmes.
At that time, he said India was becoming a global leader in AI innovation and stressed that Microsoft wanted to help make the country “AI-first.” The company also said it would train 10 million more Indians in essential AI skills by 2030.
Microsoft had already exceeded its 2025 target by training 2.4 million people within a year, with a majority of participants coming from Tier-II and Tier-III cities and 65 per cent of them being women.
Rival Google has also announced a major push in India, with a $15 billion investment to set up a state-of-the-art AI hub in Visakhapatnam.
The build-up to Nadella’s visit saw another important meeting on Tuesday, when Commerce and Industries Minister Piyush Goyal met Lisa Monaco, President of Microsoft Global Affairs.
After the meeting, Goyal posted on X that the discussion focused on Microsoft’s continued engagement in India and its support for AI-led innovation and infrastructure development.
He added that both sides also explored ways to strengthen the India–US partnership in AI, digital trade, and workforce skilling to ensure inclusive and sustainable growth.
