Valuation and view

Valuation and view

Motilal Oswal Said, "Earnings growth visibility for TTAN remains strong. It has compounded earnings by ~20% for an elongated period of time. In the Jewelry industry, which is organizing at a rapid space, it is clearly at the vanguard in terms of growth among organized players. Its runway for growth is long, with a market share of ~6%. Unlike other high-growth categories, the competitive intensity from organized and unorganized peers in Jewelry is considerably weaker. The structural investment case for TTAN is intact. We maintain our Buy rating with a Target Price of INR2,970."
