Jefferies Upgrades Welspun Living, Initiates Buy on Raymond Amid Textile Export Growth
Jefferies has upgraded Welspun Living to Buy and initiated coverage on Raymond Lifestyle with a Buy rating, citing India's textile sector poised for growth. The brokerage highlights that free-trade agreements with the UK and a potential EU deal will reduce tariffs, enhancing India's export competitiveness amid global sourcing shifts away from China. India's textile exports, currently a small share of the global market, are expected to benefit from these trade agreements, supplier consolidation, and policy support, driving multi-year growth for key players like Welspun and Raymond.
