  "account": "Britannia Industries' shares surged 1.6% mid-session on Wednesday, climbing ₹75.60 or 1.58% to ₹4,865.60 on the National Stock Exchange. The reaction stemmed from the company's second-quarter results, which surpassed expectations with revenue up 16.6% year-on-year to ₹5,542 crore and net profit growing 10.2% to ₹721 crore. Despite a margin contraction due to rising costs, the positive outlook prompted Axis Direct to maintain a Buy rating while lowering its target price to ₹5,575, reflecting a 16% upside potential. UBS also endorsed the stock with a Buy rating and set a higher target of ₹5,800, noting that the current valuation is more attractive compared to its 12-month forward P/E ratio of 39x. However, both analysts acknowledged that the stock has underperformed the Nifty Next 50 by 18% over the past year, with the Britannia share price lagging behind the index's 5.39% gain.",
  "summary": "The stock, part of the Nifty Next 50, touched an intraday high of ₹4,874 against a previous close of ₹4,790.",
