Stocks to buy today | Jefferies India stock recommendations: The Q2FY27 earnings season is in full swing, and various institutions are busy analysing the Q2 results 2026 of the Indian companies. In this regard, Jefferies India has analysed the Q2 results 2026 of Paytm, ITC Hotels, Sona BLW and Tata Consumer, whereas it has analysed the fundamentals of Vodafone Idea ahead of the announcement of its Q2 results 2026. The global investment bank remains bullish on four shares following the announcement of these companies' Q2 results, whereas it is bullish on Vodafone Idea despite reducing its upside target from ₹20 to ₹16.
Giving a ‘buy’ tag to Vodafone Idea shares, the Jefferies India report said, “Over FY26-29E, we estimate VIL offers a strong 11%/25% CAGR in revenues/cash EBITDA. Assuming 45-55% incremental cash EBITDA margins and 0-25% cumulative tariff hike between FY27-29, VIL's cash EBITDA could range between Rs147-Rs224bn implying 20-45% EBITDA CAGR. Taking a range of 18-22x EV/EBITDA multiple (currently trading at 21x), we estimate VIL's fair value ranges between Rs9-29/share, implying 143% upside potential and 25% downside potential - a favorable risk-reward, in our view. We lower our target multiple to 20x EV/EBITDA due to higher yields and reiterate BUY with lowered PT of Rs16/share.”
Giving a ‘buy’ tag to Paytm shares, the Jefferies India report said, “We rate Paytm Buy with a PT of Rs2,150 based on 33x Sept-28E EV/ EBITDA. Key risks include regulatory risk, as fintech regulations are still evolving in India; business risks arising from lending partner concentration in the ML segment; and potential asset-quality deterioration.”
Keeping its faith in the Sona BLW shares, the Jefferies India report said, “We raise FY27-29E EPS by 4-7%, factoring higher top line. We expect 22-24% revenue and EPS CAGR over FY26-29E. Sona aims to expand its revenues by 10x in 10 years. Stock has outperformed Nifty-50 by 63% CYTD, and is now trading at 51x 1-year forward PE, inline with the average since listing. While valuation is rich, we continue to like Sona for its strong engineering capabilities and expanding growth potential, especially with Denso partnership, and entry into robotics & physical AI value chain. We retain Buy with revised ₹950 PT (earlier ₹900) at 50x Sep-28E EPS.”
The Jefferies India report has predicted 30% upside in Tata Consumer shares, saying, “TCPL remains a key beneficiary of the rapid rise of Q/C, esp. for the growth portfolio (+40% YoY), which contributed c38% of the India business in 2Q, with this share set to reach c50% in 3Y. Overall, 2Q was ahead despite inflationary pressures in tea/salt, but product price hikes should help ahead. International saw a revenue decline but saw margin expansion. FY27 guidance of 50-70bps YoY EBITDA margin expansion stays. We slightly tweak estimates; BUY.”
