By News Desk Published on June 3, 2025, 07:47 IST
A number of stocks will be in focus today based on fresh buy and overweight calls issued by leading brokerages in their latest reports.
Based on analyst commentary and targets, key stocks under positive radar for June 3 include Adani Ports, Finolex Cables, Zomato (Eternal), and Vodafone Idea.
Adani Ports
Jefferies has reiterated a Buy rating on Adani Ports with a target price of Rs 1,700. The brokerage highlighted strong long-term growth drivers, including plans to achieve a 5x rise in logistics revenue and EBITDA over FY25-29. Integrated logistics and international expansion are expected to drive incremental value for the company, while organic growth will continue in domestic port operations.
Finolex Cables
Jefferies maintained a Buy rating on Finolex Cables with a target price of Rs 1,235. The brokerage sees the company as a good proxy on housing and construction themes. Finolex Cables posted a slight Q4 beat and has benefited from a 12-13 percent price hike in FY25, with further hikes taken in May 2025. The company also expects opportunities from BharatNet projects, 5G rollout, and data center demand. Jefferies projects a +19 percent PAT CAGR over FY25-28e.
Zomato (Eternal)
Morgan Stanley has reiterated Overweight and named Zomato (Eternal) as its Top Pick, with a target price of Rs 320. The brokerage cited market leadership in both food delivery and quick commerce, superior unit economics, and a stronger balance sheet than peers, which reduces the risk of further dilution. Morgan Stanley views the risk-reward as favorable, with a potential downside floor around Rs 200-220.
Vodafone Idea
CLSA has rated Vodafone Idea as Outperform with a target price of Rs 8, while Citi maintains a Buy rating with a target of Rs 10. The stock remains under positive radar amid improving 4G coverage, a planned 5G rollout across 17 circles by August 2025, narrowing subscriber losses, and potential tariff hikes. The management is also focusing on completing its pending debt raise, which remains a key trigger.
Stocks under Neutral/EW view
Morgan Stanley maintained an Equal-Weight view on Coal India with a target of Rs 450, citing near-term caution on volumes due to inventory build-up and weak offtake.
Among today's brokerage calls, the most actionable positive ideas are Adani Ports, Finolex Cables, Zomato, and Vodafone Idea, where analysts see strong growth catalysts and supportive risk-reward setups.

Ex-NY Young Republicans leader Gavin Wax gets nod for FCC spot
WASHINGTON — The former leader of New York's Young Republicans was endorsed Saturday by an outgoing member of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to fill his vacancy. FCC commissioner Nathan Simington told The Post in a phone interview Saturday that Gavin Wax, 31, 'would be a great' replacement and had been hearing 'buzz' about a potential nomination from President Trump. 'I don't want to get ahead of the president,' said Simington, who has served at the FCC since the Senate confirmed him as Trump's pick in December 2020, before adding: 'Trump has been very smart and creative with his picks in general. And he seems willing to look outside of, I guess, the establishment … or Beltway insiders.' 4 FCC commissioner Nathan Simington told The Post in a phone interview Saturday that Gavin Wax, 31, 'would be a great' replacement and had been hearing 'buzz' about a potential nomination from President Trump. AP Simington, who previously served as an associate at law firms like Mayer Brown as well as in a senior advisory role at the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, is departing the FCC after his term expired last year and he stayed on in the intervening months as a holdover. Wax is currently serving under the Republican appointee as chief of staff and senior adviser at the FCC. If confirmed, he would be the youngest-ever FCC commissioner since 1945, when Democrat Charles Denny was confirmed at age 32. 'I came in as someone whose experience was primarily on the international trading side of wireless finance, and so I've been reading a lot of telecom reg[ulations],' he explained. 'Gavin and I have collaborated on a lot of writing, and I think the common thread of tying it together is a desire to take a fresh look at telecom.' 4 Simington is departing the FCC after his term expired last year and he stayed on in the intervening months as a holdover. AP 'Gavin has spent a lot of effort with me thinking through questions of 5G industrialization. … I would expect [him] to focus on what it means to get smart manufacturing up and running at high scale in the United States,' he added. The two co-authored an op-ed in the conservative Daily Caller last month calling for 'DOGE-style' reforms at the FCC to do away with 'outdated practices that burden consumers, broadcasters, and taxpayers alike.' Established as part of the Communications Act of 1934, the five-member FCC regulates TV, radio, internet, satellite and cable industries, approves licensing and auctions off the use of spectrum for services like 5G. 4 'I don't want to get ahead of the president,' said Simington. 'And he seems willing to look outside of, I guess, the establishment … or Beltway insiders.' AFP via Getty Images As for his work chairing the Young Republicans, Simington noted: 'The commission is an organization of 1,600 people. … I have to say when I got Gavin's resume, the line items about the sizes of the events that he had organized and put on … my response was, this guy can clearly do things that I would find very challenging.' Wax hosted the group's annual holiday gala in previous years. Trump was the keynote speaker for the event in 2023. The FCC currently has two Republican commissioners including Simington and two Democratic commissioners. 4 Wax hosted the group's annual holiday gala in previous years. Trump was the keynote speaker for the event in 2023. Kevin C. Downs Democratic Commissioner Geoffrey Starks announced that he was stepping down Friday, leaving another vacancy. Olivia Trusty was previously nominated as the third Republican to serve on the panel of commissioners and is in the process of being confirmed by the Senate. Chairman Brendan Carr, a Republican, has led a series of reforms at the agency since Trump returned to the White House, including targeting diversity practices at Verizon and hinting at broader changes to so-called 'Section 230' protections for big tech companies. The latter has been the subject of furious debate by Republicans due to the liability shield it provides the platforms, even as some Facebook admitted to taking advantage of the tool to censor Americans' views online during the COVID-19 pandemic. Neither the White House nor Wax immediately responded to requests for comment.
