  "account": "Welspun Living's shares experienced a 7.77% increase, reaching Rs 181.17 in Tuesday's trading, marking a third consecutive day of gains. The stock has risen by nearly 14% over the past three sessions, attributed to strong investor sentiment following its impressive Q1FY27 performance. The home-textile major reported remarkable growth in the first quarter of FY27, with revenue up, profitability surging, and operating margins improving, reinforcing positive business outlooks.\n\nFollowing the robust quarterly results, brokerages Motilal Oswal Financial Services and JM Financial retained their 'Buy' ratings on Welspun Living. Both firms highlighted the improving fundamentals and potential for further earnings growth. Motilal Oswal's target price of Rs 215 suggests further upside from the stock's current level, with an expectation of double-digit revenue growth as home-textile volumes recover. EBITDA margins are anticipated to approach 13%, driven by a better business mix and a recovery in flooring margins. JM Financial also maintains a 'Buy' rating, noting that Welspun Living's EBITDA of Rs 320 crore exceeded estimates, driven by better operating leverage and an improved product mix.",
