Buy The Stock With A Target Price of Rs 305/Share

According to Motilal Oswal, ABFRL's strong execution capability is reflected in its ability to scale up a series of strong brands in the last 10 years. While the Lifestyle segment continues to deliver a healthy performance, a sluggish recovery in the Pantaloons segment and incremental investments in new businesses could drag down profitability in the near term. Scaling up the Reebok segment and turning around the newly set-up D2C segment/ethnic wear remain key monitorables. "We factor in a revenue/EBITDA CAGR of 18%/27% over FY23-25E. We value ABFRL on the SOTP basis, assigning EV/EBITDA of 15x to Lifestyle Brands, 10x to Pantaloons, and EV/sales of 1x to other businesses on FY25E. Subsequently, we arrive at a TP of INR305. We reiterate our Buy rating on the stock," the brokerage as said.
