      Stock Market Live Updates: Ratings from agencies

      CLSA on M&M

      O-P TP Raised to Rs 4702

      Remains a revenue market leader in UVs

      With a strong launch pipeline, its superior execution capability and improving profitability, expect M&M to deliver a 20% Ebitda Cagr over FY26- 28CL

      Its 3QFY26 auto Ebit margin of 9.5% was above estimate of 9.0%

      For tractors forecast 7% growth in FY27CL post a robust FY26.

      Nomura on M&M

      Buy, TP Rs 4662

      Strong outlook across segments

      3Q ASPs slightly below; SUV growth to maintain driving outperformance vs industry

      EBITDA margin at 14.7%, broadly in line (Nomura: 14.9%)

      Maintain as top pick

      HSBC on M&M

      Buy, TP Rs 4250

      After strong growth in FY26e, estimate a normalised tractor volume CAGR of 3-5% over FY26-FY28e

      Successful model launches, calibrated capacity expansion to drive SUV volume growth and maintain margin resilience

      Strong or early El Niño is downside risk to est

      Jefferies on M&M

      Buy, TP Rs 4500

      MM delivered 15th consecutive quarter of double-digit EBITDA growth, with Dec-Q up 27% YoY, inline with JEFe.

      MM is benefitting from strong industry demand and market share gains across tractors, SUVs and LCVs, although it sounded uncertain on FY27 tractor industry outlook given high base

      Expect MM’s core EPS to rise 30% YoY in FY26, followed by 15% CAGR over FY25-28E.

      Its 23x FY27E PE is attractive

      Bernstein on M&M

      Market Perform, TP Rs 4200

      Executing well across an unusually wide front, with auto, farm & key subsidiaries all delivering simultaneously – a rare outcome for a conglomerate of this complexity

      This reflects a mix of policy tailwinds (EV support, GST cut, rural and infra spends) & self‑help on capital allocation, cost discipline and portfolio focus.

      It is not often that “everything works” at same time for M&M; this is one of those periods & think it should be ridden, not faded.

      CITI on M&M

      Maintain Buy with target price of 4,230 unchanged

      3QFY26 in line; EBITDA up 27% YoY and PAT up 33% YoY

      UV capacity ramp-up to 24-28k/month by CY28; expansion on track

      Tractor outlook positive with early signs of replacement cycle

      Strong SUV pipeline; EV approvals progressing

      MS on M&M

      Recommendation Overweight, Target Price ₹4358, Earlier Target ₹4407

      In-line quarter

      FY27 could see moderation in tractor and UV growth

      Both segments should turnaround in FY28

      No new EV launches in CY26; focus will be on ramping up current launches

      Entire portfolio expected to be covered by PLI incentives by Q1FY27

      CLSA on Hindalco

      O-P, TP Rs 1035

      Stock may be affected in near term due to weak, one-off driven Novelis results

      Expect adj. Ebitda/t to expand in 4Q & beyond (3Q: US$430) on no tariff impact, spread expansion and cost savings.

      However, reported Ebitda/ PAT would be weighed down for at least another couple of quarters due to one-off Oswego fire impact

      Delayed insurance recovery and ongoing capex would necessitate another US$200m equity infusion from parent, while a rise in working capital would also impact FCF

      CITI on Hindalco Industries

      Citi maintain Buy with target price of ₹920 unchanged.

      Novelis 3Q adjusted EBITDA $348mn; impacted by $400mn Oswego fire.

      Adjusted EBITDA impact $150–200mn; negative FCF impact $1.3–1.6bn.

      Net D/EBITDA to rise beyond 4x; liquidity supported by equity infusion.

      Bay Minette commissioning in 2HCY26; cost efficiency plan remains intact.

      HSBC on Hindalco

      Buy, TP Rs 1240

      Oswego Fires dent an otherwise strong operating performance with adj. EBITDA/t at USD430/t, +6% y/y

      Management reiterates Bay Minette full plant commissioning in 2HCY26, cold mill to begin commissioning in March

      CITI on Divis Lab

      Buy, TP Rs 9140

      Strong 20% EBITDA growth in 3Q

      Mgmt has provided strong visibility for FY27/28E

      multiple CS products (some in validation, some completed) transitioning to commercial volumes over the next 12 months; Tirzepatide (GLP-1) may be one of these

      three dedicated projects to move into commercial stage in CY27

      does not see any change in double-digit growth trajectory, irrespective of any patent cliff (alluding to Entresto);

      new projects can expand margins & “sky is the limit,” per mgmt.

      Jefferies on Divis Labs

      Buy , TP Rs 8,100 vs Rs8,000 earlier

      Divi’s Dec-25 Qtr revenue was in-line with estimates while EBITDA/ adj.PBT delivered 12%/8% beat.

      Nutraceuticals and custom synthesis (CS) continued growth momentum (15%+) while generics remained tepid (LSD).

      Divi’s hinted that their growth momentum will continue in FY27 despite key patent expiry & 3 major dedicated CDMO projects will begin commercial

      sales from 2HCY27 (1HFY28).

      MOSL on Divis Labs

      Neutral, TP Rs 6925

      Volume gain/backward integration offset by pricing pressure in generics

      Product mix and currency movement powers Divis Labs’ performance

      Revenue grew 12.3% YoY to INR26.0b (est: INR26.8b)

      Gross margin expanded 350bp YoY to 63.7%.

      EBITDA margin expanded 220bp YoY to 34.2% (est: 31.5%), majorly driven by growth in gross margin.

      EBITDA grew 20% YoY to INR8.9b (est: INR8.4b).

      Jefferies on lenskart

      Buy, TP raised to Rs 575

      Lenskart delivered an exceptional quarter, with strong growth and smart margin expansion across India & international markets.

      Mgmt commentary was even more compelling, highlighting a clear focus on LT growth over ST margin maximisation, with margins seen as an outcome rather than objective

      CITI on Lenskart

      Neutral, TP Rs 520

      Strong revenue growth (38% overall) & margin improvement (11.6% Pre-Ind AS vs 4.5% in 3QFY25) in India and International.

      India SSG improved to 28% vs 15% in 1HFY26 led by expansion in eye testing (62% YoY in 3Q vs 49%/57% in 2Q/1Q).

      EBITDA margins - both India and International witnessed steep improvement led by GM expansion (higher ASP/product mix, sourcing) along with operating leverage (SSG driven)

      Will watch out for growth momentum in 4Q given

      (a) 2Q had adverse GST impact in India (customers deferring purchases into October);

      (b) International revenue growth benefitted from currency (8-9% in 3Q and 2Q).

      Believe current valuations already price in growth & margin improvement trajectory

      MOSL on Ashok Leyland

      Buy, TP Rs 238

      Multiple growth drivers in place for a CV cycle revival

      Earnings beat on better margins and higher other income

      AL is likely to emerge as a major beneficiary of a pickup in CV demand

      Over years, AL has effectively reduced its business cyclicality by focusing on non-truck segments.

      Its continued emphasis on margin expansion and prudent control of capex is likely to help improve returns in the long run.

      Further, a net cash position will enable AL to invest in growth avenues in the coming years

      INCRED on Ashok Leyland

      ADD. TP Rs 236

      3Q EPS rose 45% yoy to Rs1.9, beating estimate by 14%

      EBITDA margin uptick of 120bp qoq and lower depreciation led to outperformance

      More truck segments joining demand recovery cycle recently & trade deals provide hope for tractor trailers

      Raise EPS estimates by 1-2%.

      Jefferies on Ashok Leyland

      Hold, TP Rs 190

      AL’s Dec-Q EBITDA and PAT grew 27-35% YoY, 4% above JEFe.

      Truck industry growth has improved sharply in recent months, & like Als high focus on margins.

      However, stock is already at 7.9x FY27E PB vs last cycle peak of 5.8x, and at 17.3x FY27E EV/EBITDA vs last-10-year average of 13x

      Vals along with limited confidence on volume growth for coming years, prevents us from taking a more constructive view

      Raise FY26-28 EPS by 2-3%

      Morgan Stanley on Ashok Leyland

      Downgraded Ashok Leyland to Equal-weight from Overweight with target price of ₹227 raised from ₹160.

      3qfy26 in line; volume momentum intact but margins pressured by mix and commodities.

      Gross margin hit by ~50bps from commodities; ICV mix up to 30%; Jan-26 price hike of ~60bps.

      Sharp rerating already played out; EV/EBITDA at ~16x (vs 11.5x in Feb-25), near +1SD.

      Raise EPS by 12–19% for FY26–28; upside limited at peak margin assumption of ~14%.

      JPM on Voda Idea

      Downgrade to UW, TP Rs 9

      Believe stock outperformance is overdone as IDEA still awaits bank funding to drive next leg of the capex cycle, which is crucial to arrest subs losses & move to net adds by investing in the network

      First capex cycle started from 1QFY25 post the Rs180bn fund raise via FPO which resulted in IDEA being able to arrest subs losses to an extent, but it was still not able to drive positive net adds

      Its target of a 3x increase in Cash Ebitda over 3 years looks aggressive as company is baking in market share gains here vs Bharti/Jio, of which we are skeptical

      Believe IDEA has multiple hurdles to cross before business stabilizes in form of:

      1) getting bank funding,

      2) going to positive subs additions

      At 15x FY27E EV/Ebitda, stock seems to be baking in all +ves

      MS on Paints Sector

      Paints: Multi-year de-rating underway

      Growth volatility over past two quarters reinforces view that predictability of growth in paints sector is waning

      Incumbents are guiding for mid-to-high single-digit value growth over medium term

      Weakening moats, low growth, and elevated valuations continue to support de-rating thesis

      Asian Paints – UW, TP Rs 2126

      Berger P – UW, TP Rs 400

      Kansai – UW, TP Rs 191

      MOSL on Grasim

      Maintains Buy rating with a target price of ₹3,700

      3Q profitability was above estimates, fueled by better-than expected performance in the VSF segment and strong growth in the Paints and B2B e-commerce biz

      Overall traction in the Paints business is better than our expectations

      It has seen a steady improvement in revenue and market share over the last few in quarters

      It has recently taken a price hike of ~2-6% to test the channel and consumer response

      Morgan Stanley On LG India

      Recommendation Overweight, Target Price ₹1623

      Q3 - weaker margins drove miss

      Revenue decreased 6% year-on-year reflecting soft demand post festive

      Adj. EBITDA fell 39% year-on-year owing to operating deleverage, commodity inflation and rupee depreciation

      Stock aaj or kal

      Jefferies On Afcons

      Recommendation Buy; Target Price ₹440, Earlier Target ₹500

      Order flow conversion key to recovery ahead

      Management further downgraded FY26E revenue guidance to 5% after lowering it from 20-25% to 10% in Q2

      Delayed payments, slow execution, and L1 conversion issues

      9M order flow is down 82% year-on-year at Rs 26 billion though Rs 20000 crore FY26E guidance was retained

      Jefferies on Max Financial

      Recommendation Buy, Target Price ₹2130

      VNB beat; Stays as top pick

      Axis Max Life reported strong Q3 driven by higher APE growth & higher margins

      Higher margins were driven by better product mix with a greater share of retail protection and a lower share of ULIPS

      13M persistency ratio fell 200bps year-on-year, while other buckets rose by 100-400bps

      MAX Financial remains a top pick

      MOSL on Titan Company

      MOSL maintains Buy rating with a target price of ₹5,000.

      Delivered a strong 3QFY26, with 43% YoY growth in consolidated revenue.

      Remain constructive on jewellery industry growth for top players.

      Believe Titan with its exchange program and other initiatives, remains competitive.

      Raise our EPS estimates by 3–5% for FY27 and FY28.

      Model a CAGR of 23% in sales, 25% in EBITDA, and 27% in APAT over FY25–28E.

      Citi on Titan Company

      Citi maintain Neutral with target price of ₹4,750 raised from ₹4,125.

      3Q jewellery revenue up 40% YoY (ex-bullion); EBIT margin down 60bps YoY.

      Strong plain gold growth; studded mix weaker.

      Buyer growth muted; sub-₹100k price segment under pressure.

      Valuations full; cautious on medium-term margins.

      CITI on Britannia Industries

      Citi maintain Buy with target price of ₹7,250 raised from ₹7,000.

      3Q mixed; revenue up 5% YoY, EBITDA up 7% YoY.

      Gross margin supportive; margin reset likely in FY27E.

      Formalization tailwinds; brand investments to continue.

      Minor FY26–28 EPS tweaks; roll-forward valuation.

      MOSL on Britannia Industries

      MOSL maintains Buy rating with a target price of ₹7,150.

      Focus on strengthening brand equity; levers in place.

      Remains focused on strengthening distribution and brand equity to counter competition.

      Expect the earnings growth trend to improve going forward.

      Model a 12% and 14% revenue and PAT CAGR for FY26–28E.

      CITI on Apollo Hospitals

      Citi maintain Buy with target price of ₹9,600 unchanged.

      3Q strong; core hospitals EBITDA margin at 25.3% (+210bps YoY ex new units).

      Guides 13–14% revenue growth and 100bps margin expansion.

      1,500 beds to be added through FY27–28.

      HealthCo delivering strong growth; digital breakeven pushed to 1QFY27.

      CITI on United Breweries

      Citi maintain Sell with target price of ₹1,650 unchanged.

      3Q volumes down 1.3% YoY; premium volumes weak.

      Gross margin up 220bps YoY to 45.3%, though sustainability remains in question.

      ~50% of margin gains may not sustain amid persistent cost pressures from barley and aluminium.

      Near-term volatility expected in volumes and margins.

      Bernstein on PB Fintech

      Bernstein on PB Fintech target ₹2210.

      The key debate is commission regulation impact and not acquisition plans or AI-led insurance sales (yet).

      Clarity on bottom-line impact of regulations.

      Believe a deferral/shallow cuts to take-rates are in the price, while deeper cuts are not yet priced in.

      Maintain that deep cuts are less likely given the nature of the push product, but the regulator is evaluating multiple options.

      Recommendation: Outperform.

      Morgan Stanley on BHEL

      Tactical BUY target ₹304.

      Believe the share price will rise over the next 60 days.

      Believe this correction should be used to accumulate the stock.

      Underlying fundamentals remain strong.

      Expect new orders with better terms to start contributing to profits from FY27 onward.

      Recommendation: Overweight.

      Eurozone:

      Debt market updates: BSE launches new 4-8 year and 8-13 year G-Sec indices to boost passive investing

      BSE Index Services, a subsidiary of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), has launched two new Government Securities (G-Sec) indices to support passive investment strategies and provide better benchmarking in the Indian debt market.

      The new indices, announced on February 11, 2026, are:

      🔸BSE 4-8 Year G-Sec Index

      🔸BSE 8-13 Year G-Sec Index

      These indices track the performance of the top three most liquid Government Securities within their respective maturity ranges (residual maturity of 4-8 years for the first, and 8-13 years for the second). To qualify, securities must have an outstanding issuance exceeding ₹7,500 crore. The indices are reconstituted monthly and are weighted by turnover and outstanding amount. They have a base value of 100, with the first value date set as August 31, 2015.

      These additions allow for more targeted exposure to mid- to longer-duration G-Secs, complementing existing benchmarks.

      They are designed for use in:

      🔸Passive strategies like ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) and index funds

      🔸Benchmarking for PMS (Portfolio Management Services) strategies

      🔸Mutual fund schemes and other fund portfolios

      According to a statement from BSE Index Services:

      “Investors can now access a broader spectrum of market opportunities, further enriching their investment strategies with this latest addition to BSE’s suite of indices.”

      The launch aims to deepen debt market benchmarking and provide investors with more granular tools for government bond exposure in the Indian fixed-income space. This comes amid growing interest in passive debt products and follows BSE’s ongoing expansion of its index offerings (including recent sector-specific ones like hospitals).

      Sectoral insights: Auto sector rallies as strong Q3 earnings and regulatory tailwinds drive breakout

      On Feb 11, the Auto and Auto Ancillaries space delivered a strong positive breakout. The BSE Auto index surged, with multiple stocks hitting fresh 52-week highs or all-time highs amid robust Q3 earnings, improving demand (especially rural & CV), premiumization trends, EV adoption, and regulatory tailwinds on safety & emissions.

      This isn’t random. India’s auto sector is in a multi-year structural upcycle driven by:

      Demand Recovery — Strong volume growth in PVs, CVs, and 2Ws.

      Electrification — E-buses, EVs, and higher electronic content per vehicle.

      Safety Regulations — ESC, ADAS, AEBS mandates boosting electronic systems & content.

      Exports & Premiumization — Strong global demand + shift to higher-margin products.

      Earnings Momentum — Many companies reporting margin expansion and beat expectations.

      Key Stocks That Made New Highs Yesterday / Recent Sessions

      1. ZFCV India Hit fresh 52-week high ~₹16,024. Transitioning strongly into regulation-led electronic safety & control systems. ESC on buses live, ADAS nominations secured, and ~5x content on e-buses. Backed by global ZF Group. Strong Q3.

      2. Samvardhana Motherson International (MOTHERSON) Broke into new 52-week high (~₹135+) after solid Q3 beat — revenue record, profit growth, and strong execution across wiring harnesses, modules & global operations.

      3. Ashok Leyland Touched new 52-week high of ₹212.5. CV leader benefiting from fleet replacement, infrastructure push, and improving profitability.

      4. Eicher Motors Surged up to 7% intraday, hitting record highs. Royal Enfield + Volvo Eicher strong momentum on premium bikes and CVs, with excellent Q3 margins.

      5. Sansera Engineering All-time high (~₹2,137). Auto components exporter with sharp US export growth (~50% jump reported) and diversification tailwinds.

      Other Notables Touching Highs:

      ⬆️Force Motors

      ⬆️Lumax Auto Tech / Lumax Ind.

      ⬆️Craftsman Automation

      ⬆️CIE Automotive (strong intraday surge)

      The broader auto ancillary pack (brakes, suspensions, electronics, forging, etc.) is participating strongly as OEMs ramp up localization and advanced tech adoption.

      Why This Breakout Matters

      Auto & ancillaries form the backbone of India’s manufacturing renaissance. With FAME-III expectations, BS-VI Phase 2, safety norms, and potential trade deals boosting exports, the sector is seeing higher realisations, better margins, and content-per-vehicle upgrades — especially in electronics, safety, and EV components.

      After a period of consolidation in many names, the earnings season has acted as a catalyst. Rural recovery + urban premium demand is creating a balanced growth story.

      Sector Outlook Remains Constructive for 2026, led by:

      ➡️Electrification & electronics

      ➡️Export opportunities

      ➡️Regulatory-driven upgrades
