Primer: VanEck Oil Services ETF ( OIH US) - Apr 2026 Primer: NTT Data Corp (9613 JP) - Apr 2026 Welspun Corp: From Pipes to Powering Global Infrastructure Growth 1. BBW: Snapping the Store: Pets, Pokémon, Lower Discounting Key; Reiterate Buy, PT We are reiterating our Buy rating, projections and $65 price target for Build-A-Bear Workshop after visiting stores in Connecticut and Long Island. We believe the company is once again focusing on key drivers that differentiate the brand, from a material upgrade in the company’s Promise Pets offerings, re-launching Pokémon Eeveelutions and expanding into Wal-Mart. Further, April saw the company pull back on the BOGO offerings we have seen in 2026, raising the BOGO price to $20 (from $15). 2. Amara Raja: From Lead-Acid Legacy to Lithium-Ion Future! Amara Raja Energy & Mobility has confirmed bulk lithium-ion cell production will begin in FY27 , with initial 2 GWh NMC capacity at its Mahbubnagar Giga Corridor.
