Tata Motors Ltd.'s share price hit the lowest level in over 10 months after analysts trimmed the target price subsequent to the company reporting a decline in net profit, against an expectation of a rise. Emkay Global Research, UBS Global Research, and Nuvama cut the target price as they factored in the automobile manufacturer's weak performance.
Jaguar Land Rover's 11% volume decline led to a 50% drop in Tata Motors' Ebitda, UBS Global Research said. "This (July–September) quarter's performance backs our caution and raises significant risk to optimistic estimates on the street."
UBS Global Research has a 'sell' rating on the stock.
The brokerage cut the target price to Rs 780 apiece from Rs 825 apiece, earlier. The target price implied a 3% downside from Friday's closing price.
Emkay Global Research cut the target price to Rs 1,000 compared to Rs 1,175 earlier, which implied an upside of 24% from Friday's closing price. The brokerage has a 'buy' rating on the stock.
Similarly, Nuvama cut the target price to Rs 767 apiece from Rs 1,010 apiece. The target price implied a 4% downside from Friday's close.
