Motilal Oswal on DLF: ‘Buy’
Motilal Oswal has given DLF a ‘Buy’ rating with a target price of Rs 974, suggesting a 65% upside potential from the current price of Rs 588. The brokerage firm highlights that the real estate giant is seeing a multi-year upcycle in luxury housing, particularly in the Delhi-NCR region. They are particularly impressed by the company’s strong launch pipeline and its ability to maintain a debt-free status for its residential business.
“DLF’s consistent sales momentum and strong pricing power in premium segments provide a high degree of revenue visibility,” according to the report. The firm observe that the company’s rental arm (DCCDL) is also seeing high occupancy rates, providing a steady stream of recurring income that cushions the business against cyclical fluctuations in the property market.
Motilal Oswal on Siemens Energy India: ‘Buy’
Motilal Oswal recommends a ‘Buy’ on Siemens Energy India with a target price of Rs 3,400, projecting a 60% upside. The brokerage firm is optimistic about the company’s role in India’s energy transition, specifically in power transmission and grid modernisation. They point to the company’s technical edge and the government’s aggressive spending on green energy infrastructure as primary catalysts.
“Siemens Energy is a prime beneficiary of the global and domestic shift toward decarbonization and efficient power distribution,” says the Motilal Oswal Financial Services analysis. The report mentions that the company’s order backlog has reached record levels, ensuring growth for several years.
The firm believe the company’s focus on high-margin service contracts and digitalization of power plants will drive significant margin expansion.
Motilal Oswal on Coforge: ‘Buy’
Motilal Oswal has issued a ‘Buy’ rating for Coforge with a target price of Rs 2,500, indicating a 53% upside from the current level. The brokerage firm reports that the company is outperforming the broader IT sector due to its deep domain expertise in the Travel and Insurance verticals.
Motilal Oswal claims to be bullish on the company’s execution of large-scale digital transformation projects.
“Coforge continues to demonstrate industry-leading growth through its proactive deal-sourcing and focus on specialised tech stacks,” the Motilal Oswal Financial Services analysis states.
The brokerage points out that the company’s recent strategic acquisitions have broadened its capabilities in AI and cloud computing. They believe the current market valuation does not fully reflect the company’s superior growth profile and high return on capital employed.

Motilal Oswal Financial Services maintains a ‘Buy’ rating on V-Mart Retail with a target price of Rs 1,000, implying a massive potential upside of 74% from its current market price of Rs 574. The brokerage firm notes that the value retailer is successfully navigating the competitive landscape by focusing on Tier II and Tier III cities, where consumer aspirations are rising alongside disposable incomes.
“V-Mart’s strategy of deep penetration in rural and semi-urban markets is paying off as footprint expansion stabilises,” states the report from Motilal Oswal Financial Services. The analysts further explain that the firm is successfully managing inventory and improving its store-level unit economics.
The firm points out that the integration of recent acquisitions and a leaner cost structure will be key triggers for the stock’s future performance.
