Tata Elxsi shares surged on Wednesday in Mumbai after JPMorgan upgraded the stock to neutral, lifting the Tata Group firm to its upper trading limit amid heavy investor buying.
Tata Elxsi shares rose as much as 10% to hit the upper circuit at Rs 5,877.45 during Wednesday’s session on the Bombay Stock Exchange. The stock later closed 9.47% higher at Rs 5,851, reflecting strong demand following the brokerage upgrade.
The rally added significant value to the company, pushing its market capitalization to Rs 36,613 crore. Trading volumes were active, with about 0.70 lakh shares changing hands and a turnover of Rs 40.09 crore, exchange data showed.
JPMorgan Upgrade Drives Sharp Rally
JPMorgan raised its rating on Tata Elxsi shares to “neutral” from “underweight,” citing improving earnings visibility and margin outlook. The brokerage also increased its price target to Rs 4,800 from Rs 4,000.
In a research note, JPMorgan said it upgraded revenue estimates for financial years 2026 to 2028 by about one to four percent and lifted margin assumptions by 10 to 100 basis points. These revisions led to earnings per share upgrades ranging from one to eight percent.
However, the brokerage cautioned that the revised target still implies a downside of roughly 17% from current levels. “Valuations remain demanding despite recent corrections,” the note said, indicating limited upside in the near term.
Stock Delivers Strong Long-Term Returns
Despite near-term valuation concerns, Tata Elxsi shares have delivered substantial long-term gains to investors. The stock has risen about 189% over the past five years and 455% over the last decade, making it a multibagger, according to market data.
Market analysts said the sharp move reflects renewed confidence in the company’s growth prospects. “Upgrades from global brokerages tend to trigger strong momentum in quality midcap technology stocks,” said a Mumbai-based equity analyst who tracks the sector.
The analyst added that investor focus remains on sustained margin expansion and deal wins in key verticals such as automotive and digital engineering.
Tata Elxsi’s Business and Outlook
