Tata Consumer Products' Q2FY25 results have drawn mixed reactions from brokerages, with differing outlook on the company's performance and future prospects.
Morgan Stanley maintains an 'overweight' rating with a target price of Rs 1,273, citing rural demand recovery despite urban softness and a focus on market share over margins.
Meanwhile, Nuvama retains a 'buy' rating with a target of Rs 1,350 but lowers its FY25-27 earnings estimates. CLSA holds a more cautious view, maintaining a 'hold' with a target price of Rs 1,103 due to misses in key segments like tea and Nourisco, while Kotak retains an 'add' rating with a target of Rs 1,110, highlighting expected near-term pressure.
