The catalyst behind Tata's surge on Thursday was an auspicious new view on the stock from Morgan Stanley analyst Binay Singh. Upgrading the stock from equal weight to overweight, Singh also raised the bank's price target on it from 298 rupees to 448 rupees. The stock closed the previous trading session on the BSE at 336 rupees. As such, the new price target forecasts upside of 33%.
