Despite the latest downturn in Titan shares, experts are optimistic about the company going forward.
In their latest research note, analysts Manoj Menon, Aniket Sethi, and Karan Bhuwania at ICICI Securities have given a buy target on Titan. In their sector-based report dated June 11, the analysts said, "We believe mandatory hallmarking may create a level-playing field in the Indian Jewellery market, driving further formalisation, adding, maintain BUY on both Titan and Kalyan.
For Titan, the trio said, " We have compared unit economics (FY20) of Tanishq, Kalyan, Joyalukkas, and Senco (Table 1). In terms of operating margins, Titan is ahead of other jewellery players (despite much lower unit sales than Joyalukkas)."
Comparing the companies in the gems and jewellery segment, the analysts said, "Titan is ahead on return metrics (RoCE of 28%; this also includes other businesses). Joyalukkas also has good RoCE of 21% given the good revenue intensity (sales/sq. ft.). Senco’s RoCE print comes on the back of a good franchisee system in place. Kalyan has a weak return profile compared to other players. In terms of inventory days, Titan is the most efficient (131 days; including other businesses) followed by Joyalukkas (144 days), Senco (147 days) and Kalyan (167 days)."
Last month, Bharat Chhoda and Cheragh Sidhwa Research Analysts at ICICI Direct said, Titan has been an exceptional performer in the discretionary space with stock price appreciating at ~36% CAGR in last five years," adding, "We continue to remain structurally positive on the stock as high growth visibility justifies premium valuations and maintain a BUY on the stock."
The duo at ICICI Direct has set a target price of ₹2,725 i.e. 66x FY24E EPS on Titan.
Also, Centrum has given a buy rating on Titan. Shirish Pardeshi Research Analyst, Consumer at Centrum said, "e Titan’s strategy revolving around serving millennials, meeting their aspirational demand with introduction of new designs and channels, could pay richly. Further industry formalization showing up in market share gains. We maintain a positive view and expect faster recovery and margin gains. The turnaround of the Caratlane/eyewear divisions and their profitability potential is not yet priced in. Considering FY22, we cut FY23E/FY24E earnings by 15%/10.9% and retain BUY, with a revised DCF-based TP Rs2,817 (implying 69.5x FY24E EPS). Risks: irrational competition from regional players; prolonged recovery in the economy, leading to lower demand for jewelry; rising gold prices."
