Here is what brokerages have to say about stock and the company post March quarter earnings:
Prabhudas Lilladher
We cut FY23/24 EPS estimates by 5.9%/4% and reiterate BUY with DCF based target price of Rs 2,701 (earlier Rs 2,754).
The company reported a relatively weaker set of numbers on the back of 1) volatility in gold prices (wedding category saw degrowth 9% YoY) 2) store lockdowns in January due to Omicron scare. 3) weak growth across categories as Rs 1.3bn inventory gains in diamond were more than offset by Rs510mn of VRS and Rs720mn of ex gratia to employees.
We estimate 25.3% PAT CAGR over FY22-24 and remain positive given structural story on account of market share gains, strong balance sheet, franchisee based model and strong brand. However, valuations at 64.3x FY24 leave little room for re-rating.
Motilal Oswal
There is no material change to our FY23/FY24 EPS forecast.
TTAN has a strong growth runway, given its market share of less than 10% and continued struggles faced by its unorganized and organized peers. Its medium-to-long-term earnings growth visibility is nonpareil.
Despite the volatility in gold prices and COVID-led disruptions, its earnings CAGR has been stellar (24%) for the past five-years ending FY22. We expect this trend to continue, with over 20% earnings CAGR in the next couple of years.
The stock’s near-term multiples appear expensive, but its long runway for profitable growth warrants premium multiples. We maintain our Buy rating, with a target price of Rs 2,900 per share (75x FY24E EPS).

Titan’s Q4FY2022 results were affected by multiple factors. The company has geared for expected high sales during the auspicious days and postponement of the wedding season, which will help in posting good performance for the jewellery business in Q1FY2023 and the quarters ahead.
While the jewellery business is expected to post consistent double-digit growth, other businesses (including watches and eye care) are expected to scale-up fast with revamped strategies.
Titan is well poised to achieve strong revenue and PAT CAGR of 19% and 28%, respectively, over FY2022-FY2024.
Any correction from the current levels can be considered as a good opportunity to enter the stock from a long-term perspective. We maintain our Buy recommendation on the stock with an unchanged price target (PT) of Rs 2,900.
Morgan Stanley
Broking house has kept overweight rating on Titan Company with a target at Rs 2,720 per share as Q4 earnings missed estimates.
The demand environment in Q4 was challenging, while management optimistic on outlook for FY23 with good trends in April, reported CNBC-TV18.
Jefferies
Research firm has maintained hold rating on the stock with a target at Rs 2,600 per share.
It was lower-than-expected Q4 results, mainly due to a miss on reported jewellery margin.
Company management reiterated jewellery margin guidance of 12-13%, reported CNBC-TV18.
At 09:25 hrs Titan Company was quoting at Rs 2,346.55, down Rs 40.05, or 1.68 percent on the BSE.
