Citi, HSBC and Emkay retained Sell/Reduce on Ola Electric after Q4 revenue fell 57% YoY on 61% volume drop. Targets imply up to 32% downside; brokerages prefer Ather and TVS Motor to play the E2W theme.

Why this matters

Brokerage downgrades follow Ola Electric halving its Q4 loss to Rs 500 cr and missing FY26 guidance as Ather overtook it on revenue, reinforcing the bearish E2W positioning.
