Board meetings (FULL LIST)Analyst calls• Jefferies has maintained buy on NTPC and revised target price to ₹160 from ₹171.

NTPC should see twin benefits of operational improvement and capacity addition in the next five years, said Jefferies.

Potential earnings upside of 5-6% from demand-led PLF recovery is an additional benefit, it added. • ICICI Securities has initiated coverage on Bandhan Bank with a target price of ₹763.

The opportunity that Bandhan has to leverage is its own strengths and fully exploit its banking licence can result in superior growth and profitability. • Kotak Institutional Equities has retained reduce rating on MRF and revised fair value lower to ₹52,000 from ₹56,000.

The brokerage said its cautious view on the stock is underpinned by three major concerns: potential market share loss in the truck-bus radial tyre segment and higher-sized passenger vehicle tyres due to lack of product innovation and investment in RD; normalisation of margins in the increasingly competitive two-wheeler segment; and expensive valuations.

• Morgan Stanley has maintained underweight rating on Tata Global Beverages with a target price of ₹165.

Fourth quarter earnings growth was affected by one-off losses from associates, said Morgan Stanley.

There is no quick fix,especially for Tata Global's international business,given the weak brand construct,exposure to a relatively unattractive category/geographic mix,and mediocre return ratios, it said.

• Investec Securities has initiated coverage on Orient Electric with a target price of ₹210.

Following its demerger from Orient Paper in 2017, Orient Electric’s new management team has undertaken measures to improve rand positioning, product offering, distribution and logistics, said Investec.
