Why Tata Motors share price rose 5% today despite Fitch downgrade

Tata Motors share was trading higher today despite Fitch lowering the ratings of Indian auto firm from B from BB-. Share price of Tata Motors has gained 13% in two sessions after the firm said on June 2 it has resumed operations across all its manufacturing plants in the country. It closed 7.81% higher on June 2. The stock closed at Rs 89.55 on June 1.

Tata Motors share gained 5.13% to Rs 101.45 compared to the previous close of Rs 96.50 on BSE.  Market cap of the firm rose to Rs 36,316 crore in today's trade. The auto firm share hit a 52 week high of Rs 201.80 on January 15 ,2020 and 52 week low of Rs 63.60 on March 24 this year.

"Technically, Tata Motors looks overbought and a correction till 96 could be possible. Short-term traders should start booking profits at these levels. However, if daily candle closes above 101 , 109 could be achieved in the next few sessions," said Abhijeet Ramachandran, Independent Analyst/ Co-Founder and trainer at Tips2trade.

Tata Motors stock opened with a gain of 3.63% at Rs 100 today. The stock has risen 20.42% in the last 7 days. The large cap share trades higher than 5 day, 20 day and 50 day moving averages but lower than 100 day and 200 day moving averages.

Aamar Deo Singh, Head Advisory at Angel Broking said,"Tata Motors has gained over 15% this week itself after the company announced that it has resumed operations across all its manufacturing plants in the country. Earlier, Fitch had downgraded its ratings, but that does not seem to have any negative impact on the stock so far."

The stock has entered triple digits after 2.5 months. On March 11 this year, Tata Motors share hit a 11-year low in a weak market on concerns over sluggish Jaguar Land Rover sales in China and lower volumes at home. Growing fears of coronavirus across the globe also dampened sentiment around the stock.

Share price of Tata Motors closed 6.43% lower at Rs 99 compared to the previous close of Rs 105.80 on BSE. The stock touched double digits on August 31, 2009 when it closed at Rs 96.90.
