Sona BLW shares fall nearly 2% after Bernstein downgrades stock
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 10, 2025, 09:24 IST Shares of Sona BLW Precision Forgings Ltd fell as much as 1.9% on Tuesday, trading at ₹514.35 as of 9:21 AM IST, down ₹7.00 from the previous close of ₹521.35. The decline follows a downgrade from brokerage firm Bernstein, which revised its rating on the stock to 'Market Perform' from 'Outperform'. The downgrade comes amid growing near-term risks that Bernstein highlighted, including tensions between U.S. President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk, as well as ongoing trade issues between the U.S. and India. The brokerage also expressed concerns about the increasing competitiveness of Chinese OEMs in the global electric vehicle (EV) supply chain. Bernstein noted that Sona BLW has significant exposure to the U.S. market and a large portion of its order book is concentrated in EV components, making it vulnerable to geopolitical disruptions and sectoral headwinds. The stock's recent pressure comes despite its strong year-range performance between ₹380 and ₹768.65, with a market cap of ₹318.23 billion and a P/E ratio of 51.67. Sona BLW remains a key player in the EV component space, but analysts now suggest a cautious outlook amid global macro uncertainties.

Why Trump's Deployment Of Military in California Is So Controversial
President Donald Trump ordered the California National Guard on June 7 to dispatch at least 2,000 soldiers to the Los Angeles area as thousands of people demonstrating against immigration raids clashed with security forces. After vandalism and violence broke out, the Pentagon escalated the federal response by also mobilizing 700 active-duty Marines. The president said on his Truth Social platform that federal agencies were to take 'all such action necessary' to stop what he called 'migrant riots.' The rare move by a president to mobilize military forces to quell domestic unrest was quickly condemned as unnecessary and counterproductive by local authorities, including Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom.

See North Jersey 2025 primary results for Bergen, Essex, Passaic and Morris counties
EDITOR'S NOTE: Results will be added as they become available after polls close at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, June 10. Check back often as we update results as they become available. The focus of the June 10 primary election has been the gubernatorial race, however, there were numerous local contested races in Bergen, Passaic, Essex and Morris counties. This was New Jersey's first primary where all 21 counties used a black ballot design for both parties instead of the "county line." The line traditionally gave candidates endorsed by the county's political party a preferred ballot placement, but it was dismantled by a federal judge in 2024. As of May 1, New Jersey had 6,565,285 registered voters, which includes 2,449,526 Democrats and 1,621,669 Republicans. More than 691,000 vote-by-mail ballots were sent out across the state and about 234,000 were returned, according to state officials. To vote in New Jersey's primary election, voters are required to be affiliated with a party. The latest numbers show that almost 37 percent, or 2.4 million, of the state's voters are registered as undeclared. Undeclared voters may declare a party at the polls on the day of the election if they wish to vote. Vote-by-mail ballots must be postmarked by June 10.
