Nuvama Downgrades Bharat Forge Citing Valuation Concerns; Britannia Retains Buy Ratings Despite Q4 Pressure

Bharat Forge has been downgraded by brokerage Nuvama from 'Hold' to 'Reduce' with a target price of Rs 1,650, indicating a potential 17% downside due to elevated valuations after a recent stock rally. Despite healthy earnings visibility and long-term growth prospects in defence and automotive sectors, concerns include valuation comfort and delays in defence order executions. Meanwhile, Britannia Industries saw a 5% share price decline post-Q4FY26 earnings, but both Nuvama and Nomura maintain 'Buy' ratings, citing intact long-term growth drivers despite margin pressures.
