Morgan Stanley upgrades Tata Chemicals stock to Overweight on recovery signs

Investing.com - Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) has upgraded Tata Chemicals Limited (NS:NSE:TTCH) from Underweight to Overweight, while raising its price target to INR1,127.00 from INR839.00.

The double upgrade comes as Morgan Stanley believes the company has moved past its earnings trough in fiscal 2025, with potential benefits from higher volumes due to expanded capacities in India, a turnaround in UK operations, and stronger contribution from Rallis as the global agricultural cycle normalizes.

Despite shaky demand conditions, the investment bank points to emerging signals of capacity discipline globally, including closures in Spain, Poland, and potentially China, along with delays in recent capacity expansions that should support near-term price stability.

Morgan Stanley notes that Tata Chemicals has completed its peak capital expenditure phase, with the company now focusing on self-help and cost efficiency initiatives including the UK turnaround, cost optimization, and volume increases, while China soda ash prices are near cycle troughs.

The firm identified key risks to its upgraded outlook, including limited capacity cutbacks, minimal signs of demand recovery, and deteriorating pricing metrics in key markets such as Southeast Asia.
