Stock Valuation

Giving a buy rating, Emkay Global stated, "We maintain our buy rating on Titan over a longer investment horizon, given continued potential for consistent earnings compounding, based on its modest market shares in several large and growing product categories. Our revised December 2023 target price is based on a higher multiple of 53x (vs. 50x earlier). Upgrade in the valuation multiple is driven by 50bps increase in our medium-term growth expectations, on higher growth expectations in Taneira/Handbags/International, as also higher long term sustainable RoE."

Q2 Earnings

After a strong revenue update in October 2022, Titan's adjusted EBITDA for Q2 was in line with the Street estimates. The company's reported EBITDA was 6-13% ahead of our/Street expectations, due to a 200bps one-off in the Jewelry segment. Jewelry momentum sustained, with 3Y CAGR of 27% in Q2, led by 6-7% expansion in transaction size, with the balance contributed by strong buyer growth. Share of new buyers also increased, to ~46% of total buyers in Q2 vs. 43% in Q1, pointing to market-share gains.

Stock upside

With India-UAE CEPA agreement, Titan received the license to import 540kg of gold with 1% concession in import duty in Q2. Allocation is expected to further increase in Q3. Titan targets Rs. 10bn worth of sales by FY27, for newly-launched women hand-wear brand IRTH. However, Titan indicated relatively slower growth in the economy-oriented price points due to inflationary pressures, while better growth is seen on the premium front.
