Morgan Stanley expressed optimism, citing the move as alleviating succession-related concerns and providing continuity to the company's growth strategy. The shares reached a record high of Rs 113.70, their highest level in over a month, and are on track to set the biggest single-day jump since late April 2025. Gunender Kapur's current three-year term as Managing Director and CEO was set to end on June 26, 2027, but the board approved his reappointment for a five-year period starting September 1, 2026, until August 31, 2031. Morgan Stanley maintains an 'Overweight' rating on Vishal Mega Mart shares, with a target price of Rs 146, indicating a potential upside of more than 41% from the stock's previous closing price of Rs 103.43.",
