The rise in stock price on Friday morning could be attributed to positive reviews by brokerage firms after the company's Q1 numbers.
Samvardhana Motherson on Thursday said its consolidated net profit jumped over four-fold to ₹601 crore for the first quarter ended June 30, 2023. The company had reported a net profit of ₹141 crore for the April-June quarter of last fiscal.

Most brokerage firms appear positive about the stock as they maintained their earlier views on it after the June quarter results. Brokerage firm Motilal Oswal Financial Services maintained a buy call on the stock with a target price of ₹115, implying a 20 per cent upside potential in the stock prices. The brokerage firm believes the company should continue to benefit substantially from easing supply-side issues and receding cost headwinds, leading to strong growth and balance sheet deleveraging.
