Morgan Stanley has an equal-weight rating on SBI with the target price raised to Rs 1,025.

M&M raised FY26 outlook for tractors and LCVs, and now expects double-digit growth across segments. Analysts also said it has gained market share across SUV, tractors and LCVs in recent years. It also plans to launch three new SUVs in CY26, and a new SUV platform in CY27.HSBC has a buy on Adani Ports with the target price raised to Rs 1,700. Analysts said for the company Q2FY26 marked another quarter of continued improvement in return on capital employed (ROCE) across major businesses, notably in international ports. Robust underlying demand, market share gains, and overseas expansion underpin its 1,000 million metric ton throughput ambition for 2030. The company’s strategic pivot to focus on ROCE improvement should drive rerating.Citigroup has a buy rating on Paytm with the target price at Rs 1,500. Analysts said the company reported strong growth and market share momentum in credit on UPI (Rupay & Postpaid) is a tailwind that is likely to continue to aid net payment margins ex-devices. Additionally, device costs (across new device capex, refurbishment) have meaningfully declined, improving device economics. They said overall, Paytm reported a solid beat on EBITDA/EBIT on lower cloud costs and lower depreciation & amortisation. They said PayTM’s outlook on growth and EBIT margins are robust.CLSA has a hold rating on Kaynes Technology with the target price slightly reduced to Rs 6,375 from Rs 6,410 earlier. Analysts said the company’s Q2FY26 top line was largely in line while margins were slightly better. It maintained its FY26/FY28/FY30 revenue guidance, indicating consistently strong growth. However, cashflow conversion remained low, with around Rs 510 crore working capital increase largely due to receivables, which the company expects to improve going forward. While analysts are positive on the company on its strong growth outlook, low free cash flow generation could raise risks of consistent fund raise.
