Global brokerage house Jefferies has upgraded Finolex Cables to buy on favourable valuation and strong balance sheet, but cut price target to Rs 500 from Rs 765 per share.

Its other top midcap picks are Supreme Industries, V-Guard Industries, and Kajaria Ceramics. It has a buy call on all these stocks but slashed targets to Rs 1,260 (from Rs 1,530), Rs 240 (from Rs 290) and Rs 530 (from Rs 775), respectively.

The reason behind the cut in price target is that earnings are expected to take a hit by lockdown due to novel coronavirus.

"We see a tepid first half of FY21 with maximum impact in Q1 due to lockdown," said Jefferies which cut FY21/22 EPS estimates by 12-20 percent.
