A Positive Upgrade Sparks Momentum
The sharp jump in Suzlon’s share price came after Morgan Stanley upgraded the stock from 'equal weight' to 'overweight' and set a target price of Rs 71, down from Rs 78.
Morgan Stanley cited the recent correction in the stock price as a good buying opportunity, especially given the company’s fundamentals and growth potential in the renewable energy sector.
The upgrade follows a correction in Suzlon’s stock, which had rallied an impressive 913 per cent from March 2023 to September 2024.
After hitting a one-year high of Rs 86, the stock has seen a 27.65 per cent decline, trading much lower than its recent peak.
