Investment Rationale

Given the ongoing lockdown/restrictions across India, Motilal Oswal has cut its FY22E EPS estimate by 12.2 per cent. However, there is no material change to its FY23E EPS. Motilal said, Titan’s medium- to long-term earnings growth opportunity is best-of-breed, which is reflected in the EPS CAGR of ~24 per cent over the past three years before the Covid-19 impact in FY21. It added, there is a strong growth runway given Titan’s market share of less than 10 per cent and the continuing struggles of unorganized and other organized peers.

According to Motilal Oswal, while valuations of 50.6x FY23E EPS are not cheap, the long runway for profitable growth deserves a premium multiple. It maintains its buy rating with a target price of Rs 1,785 per share (60x FY23E EPS).
