Dixon Technologies Faces Headwinds
HDFC Securities downgraded Dixon Technologies to 'Reduce' with a target price of ₹10,560. The brokerage cited modest 2% year-on-year revenue growth alongside declining EBITDA due to margin compression. The outlook remains challenging, affected by withdrawn Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes and sluggish handset market demand.
Canara Bank: Mixed Signals
Canara Bank reported steady loan growth of approximately 16% year-on-year, driven by its retail and MSME segments. However, earnings were impacted by weaker treasury income and reliance on non-core revenue streams. HDFC Securities maintained an 'Add' rating with a ₹155 target, but raised concerns over the bank's deposit franchise strength and earnings volatility.
Dr. Reddy's Faces Sales Decline
Dr. Reddy's Laboratories saw a significant 42% year-on-year drop in EBITDA. This downturn was linked to a sales decline and margin contraction, largely from a sharp drop in its United States business. Growth visibility depends on Semaglutide launches and its biosimilars pipeline. HDFC Securities reiterated its 'Reduce' rating with a target price of ₹1,260.
The report also covers calls for Berger Paints, Syrma SGS Technology, and Stylam, offering investors varied perspectives on the latest quarterly results.
