Brokerages Maintain Buy Ratings on Select Indian Stocks Despite Q2 Price DeclinesPreviousNext

Several brokerages, including Motilal Oswal, Jefferies, and ICICI Securities, have maintained 'Buy' ratings on various Indian stocks such as Shriram Finance, AU Small Finance Bank, and Adani Energy, despite some share price declines following Q2FY27 results. These firms cite factors like strong net interest income, asset quality improvements, and growth prospects, while noting concerns such as margin pressures, rising credit costs, and regional stress due to drought. SBI Funds Management shares fell to a new low post-Q2, amid steady performance but market pressures.
