Analysed 26 Oct 2026·4 sources analysed·India·Business
Brokerages Maintain Buy Ratings on Indian Stocks Amid Mixed Q2 Earnings and Price AdjustmentsPreviousNext

Several brokerages, including Motilal Oswal and Jefferies, have issued 'Buy' recommendations on various Indian stocks such as SRF, Swiggy, AU Small Finance Bank, Adani Energy, BPCL, IDFC First Bank, and Shriram Finance. Despite some price target reductions and concerns like rising costs and credit risks, these firms highlight growth prospects, improving asset quality, and strong earnings in Q2 FY27. Shares of some companies, including Shriram Finance and AU Small Finance Bank, saw price declines despite positive earnings reports and retained buy ratings from analysts.
