Zomato share price: Shares of Zomato, the food-delivery services platform, gained in Friday's session (November 24) after Morgan Stanley maintained an 'Overweight' stance with a target price of Rs 140. At the day's high, the stock touched levels of Rs 116, gaining 2.7 per cent over the previous close.
 
Further, an AlphaWise survey conducted by global brokerage Morgan Stanley on the start-up with regard to its quick delivery highlights that its TAM, or total addressable market, has been cutting across multiple categories.

The recent target set by the global brokerage is the most optimistic, signifying an upside potential of 24 per cent from the previous close.
 
The Morgan Stanley AlphaWise survey carries out proprietary evidence research to validate investment theses on behalf of Morgan Stanley analysts.
 
Considering the listing made around two years ago at Rs 115 per share on the BSE, shares of the food aggregator are by and large trading flat.
