Shares of Tata Chemicals were trading down on Friday after Morgan Stanley downgraded the stock. The company also got fined by a UK court.
What Happened: Morgan Stanley downgraded the stock to “underweight” and slashed the target price to ₹843 from ₹904 in their report on chemicals. The global brokerage reasoned these companies are not out of the wood yet and prefer to remain on the sidelines until there is an earnings upgrade cycle.
The oversupplied soda ash markets underpin its call to downgrade Tata Chemicals, the brokerage said.
