Tanishq store penetration increased

Tanishq store penetration has increased in semi-urban / rural, the brokerage firm says. Our analysis of Tanishq's store network change over the past 12 years indicates that the share of stores in semi-urban / rural has increased to 54% now from 50% in 2020 and 27% in 2011. It currently has 127 stores in 126 rural areas as compared to 32 stores in 31 rural areas in 2011. We believe this increased penetration into smaller towns is likely to help in faster growth for Titan. We also believe Tanishq's new growth engine should help accelerate the adoption in rural areas.

Long-term transition

We expect Tanishq to benefit from long-term transition to organised, strong demand from wedding jewellery and high-value studded jewellery, consumers tend to see gold as an investment and indulgence, hallmarking to benefit formalisation with increased consumer awareness on ethical standards, and consumer desire on better shopping experience (transparent pricing, buyback). We believe the concerns on margins are likely to be less warranted given its consumer recruitment and store expansion in FY23, the brokerage firm said.

Stock Upside

Giving an add rating, ICICI Securities said, "We broadly maintain our earnings estimate for FY23E-FY24E. We model revenue / EBITDA / PAT CAGRs of 21 /28 /30 % for FY22-FY24E, respectively. Maintain ADD with a revised target price of Rs. 2,900. Key downside risks are irrational competitive environment and potential shift to fixed making charges that could limit long-term benefits from operating leverage."
