Tata Motors shares slip over 4%
Tata Motors shares – Shares of domestic automaker Tata Motors dropped more than 4% today after Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), the company’s UK subsidiary, reported a 4.9% reduction in retail sales in Q2. Sales decreased to 8,121 units in Q2 from 92,710 units in the same quarter the year before. Additionally, JPMorgan downgraded the Tata Motors shares from overweight to neutral, reflecting the negative sentiment around the stock. According to the brokerage, JLR’s delayed deleveraging timeframes were the cause of the downgrading. The danger to JLR’s debt reduction goals increases if free cash flow generation is delayed.
