Fine Organic Q3 Results Review - Slowdown In Export Markets Hurts Performance: Motilal Oswal

NDTV Profit’s special research section collates quality and in-depth equity and economy research reports from across India’s top brokerages, asset managers and research agencies.

We maintain our 'Sell' rating on the stock..Click on the attachment to read the full report:.Bata India Q3 Results Review - Softness In Operating Profitability Drags PAT Down: Motilal Oswal.DISCLAIMERThis report is authored by an external party.
