Shares of Cochin Shipyard Ltd. have hit the 5% upper limit for the second day in a row on Tuesday, November 26. Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Ltd. and Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd. are also performing well, with gains of 3% and 8%, respectively. These increases reflect a broader interest in defense stocks during Tuesday’s trading session.
JPMorgan has started coverage on three defense stocks: Bharat Electronics Ltd. (BEL), Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. (HAL), and Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Ltd. The brokerage has given an 'Overweight' rating to BEL and HAL, but a 'Neutral' rating to Mazagon Dock.
JPMorgan's price targets are:
- Bharat Electronics (BEL): ₹340, offering a potential 16% gain from Monday’s closing price.
- Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL): ₹5,135, a potential 20% gain but still below its earlier high of ₹5,674.
- Mazagon Dock: ₹4,248, which suggests only a 2% upside from Monday’s close.
