Analysts at Edelweiss said that Titan’s numbers were exceptional, with an estimate-beating margin of 13 per cent in the Jewellery segment being the key highlight. “Factoring in the margin outperformance, we are raising FY23E EPS by 4 per cent. We value Titan at 80 times 9MFY24E EPS (76 times FY24E) – a premium to its five-year average of 60 times – and this reflects its growth trajectory and potential scale-up in other verticals, i.e. watches & wearables and Caratlane,” it said while suggesting a target of Rs 3,119.
Global brokerage Emkay said Titan reported an 8 per cent beat to its Ebitda estimates. “Ex-bullion sales, consolidated Ebitda margin at 13.2 per cent was 200 bps higher than pre-Covid levels, led by operating leverage, exit from loss-making ventures and 80 bps one-off,” it said.
“We raise FY24/25 EPS by 3-4 per cent, led by Q1 beat and upbeat commentary. Titan offers high-teens growth visibility and an improving RoIC profile (45 per cent by FY25E). We maintain Buy with a target of Rs 2,700 from Rs2,530 earlier, valuing Titan at a reduced multiple of 50 times due to a 3-month rollover. Faster traction in Taneira and International operations could offer potential upside,” Emkay said.
