Sagility to Coforge: Why top brokerages are bullish on these 6 stocks with 24% to 73% upside potential – Market News

Brokerage consensus buy calls: At least 6 brokerages, Nomura, Motilal Oswal, JM Financial, Nuvama, Axis Securities, and Jefferies have collectively identified seven stocks with ‘Buy’ ratings, pointing to a wide range of return potential over the next 12 months. Their target prices suggest upside potential between 24% and 72.6%, depending on the company and the firm’s assumptions.

The list includes Sagility India, United Spirits, Coforge, Infosys, ICICI Bank and Global Health, with several of these names backed by more than one brokerage. The recommendations are largely driven by expectations of steady earnings growth, improving margins, and sector-specific tailwinds such as outsourcing demand, digital spending and credit growth.

Sagility India

Nomura

Nomura has initiated coverage on the company with a ‘Buy’ rating and a target price of Rs 55, indicating a potential return of 47.4%. The firm describes the entity as a vertically integrated healthcare tech player that benefits from high client retention and the increasing use of artificial intelligence to drive operational efficiency. The report forecasts a healthy 20% compound annual growth rate for earnings per share over the next two fiscal years.

Motilal Oswal

Motilal Oswal reiterates a ‘Buy’ recommendation for the stock with a target price set at Rs 58, implying a 45% upside. The firm identifies the company as a structural beneficiary of rising outsourcing trends among healthcare payers in the United States. The brokerage suggests that synergy from recent acquisitions and increased work volume from top clients will sustain revenue growth in the mid-teens.

United Spirits

Nomura

Nomura maintains its ‘Buy’ rating and a target price of Rs 1,650 for the company, suggesting an upside of roughly 24% for United Spirits. The assessment follows the divestment of a sports franchise, a move the firm believes unlocks growth potential and allows for a sharper focus on core alcoholic beverage portfolios. It expects a 13% compound annual growth rate for earnings through fiscal year 2028.

Nuvama

Nuvama issues a ‘Buy’ call with a target price of Rs 1,660, which represents a potential return of 25%. The firm views the exit from the sports segment as strategically positive because it removes a key overhang and improves capital allocation for the business. The firm notes that while near-term headwinds exist due to taxation changes, the long-term outlook is bolstered by expected margin expansion and core category growth.
