Suzlon‘s share price was upbeat on Friday morning even though a global brokerage firm downgraded the stock’s rating.
What Happened: Morgan Stanley downgraded its rating on Suzlon Energy from “overweight” to “equal-weight”, but increased the target price by 20% from ₹73.00 to ₹88.00.
The brokerage said the downward revision was due to the recent surge in the company’s shares. Suzlon Energy’s shares have surged 110% in the past six months.
This robust performance is likely due to a considerable expansion in the company’s order book and an improved balance sheet, along with enhanced cash flow from operations, the brokerage noted.
Morgan Stanley now views the risk-reward balance in the wind energy major as more even. The investment firm believes that Suzlon’s current market valuation already reflects its recent achievements and advancements and warrants a more cautious stance.
