Titan said its jewellery segment posted revenue growth of 207 per cent YoY (excluding bullion sales) on a low base, led by strong demand due to Akshaya Tritiya in May. Titan added a total of 19 new stores: six Tanishq stores, 12 Mia stores in India, and a new Tanishq store in Dubai.
The watch division recorded a growth of 158 per cent YoY, led by growth across brands and products. The eyewear division posted a sales growth of 176 per cent YoY, led by Titan Eye Plus and trade and distribution channels.
Titan’s Q1FY23 business update suggests a robust 3-year consolidated revenue CAGR of 22 per cent, said .
“In our view, a strong Q1 should drive an upgrade to consensus estimates. However, we do not see material changes to our estimates given near-term volatilities due to a recent customs duty increase and higher inflation. We currently have a ‘Buy’ rating on Titan with a target of Rs 2,530,” Emkay Global said.
said Titan remained its top pick in the largecap consumption space, with strong earnings growth visibility and compounding by 20 per cent for an elongated period of time.
“In the jewellery industry, which is organising at a rapid pace, Titan is clearly at the vanguard among organised players in leading this growth,” Motilal Oswal said.
“Its runway for growth is long, with a market share of 6 per cent. Unlike other high-growth categories, the competitive intensity from organized and unorganized peers in jewellery is considerably weaker.”
