Titan Company Share Price Target:
Titan is Motilal Oswal's top investment pick in April. In its key rationale, Motilal highlighted three key pointers. They are:
- Titan released its pre-quarterly update for 4QFY24, where it reported sales growth of 17% YoY in 4QFY24. The domestic division grew 19% YoY.
2. Along with the store network expansion, Titan is also focusing on better execution at the existing stores (added ~340 jewellery stores in the last two years).
3. It has reduced the gold premium compared to peers in a calibrated manner, which has been compensated with other initiatives to protect the operating margin. Management expects a jewellery EBIT margin of ~12-13% despite rising competition.
"We expect 17%/26% revenue/PAT CAGR over FY24-26 as the company's business moats are not easily replicable and with a jewellery market share of ~8% in a sizable ~₹5t market, there is significant headroom for growth, Motilal's note said.
However, Motilal is cautious about the near-term consumption trend.
Thereby, the brokerage has set the highest target of Rs 4,300 on Titan with buy recommendations.
