Titan shares fall 3% after Q1 results; experts flag these concerns
Live MintTitan Company's share price opened 1.3 per cent lower at ₹2,940 on BSE on Thursday and soon expended losses to almost 3 per cent, a day after the company reported its June quarter scorecard which showed a dip in net profit and margin. Rich valuation, margin pressure can spoil the party Brokerage firm Phillip Capital believes near-term margin pressure and rich valuation of the stock offer little scope for a significant upside in the stock price. "We downgrade Titan to 'neutral' from 'buy' with a revised target price of ₹3,100 as near-term margin pressure in FY24 and rich valuations are most likely to limit any meaningful stock price appreciation," Phillip Capital said. The brokerage firm expects Titan's EBITDA margin to slip to 11.5 per cent in FY24 versus 12.5 per cent in FY23 owing to hefty non-recurring diamond inventory gains sitting in the base year and increased efforts on driving market share gain.
