Brokerages' View
CLSA stuck with its 'hold' call on the counter, slightly upping its target price to Rs 1,097.
Though margins contracted, missing CLSA's estimates, the brokerage raised its target price on the back of strong sales growth, as per their latest note. The beat across other estimates was driven by the growth of the tea and salt verticals, says CLSA.
Jefferies also has a similar outlook on the stock, setting its target price at Rs 1,210. The brokerage believes uncertainty owing to tariffs may prevail, and margins may take a quarter or more to normalise in the international segment.
However, the company's management sounded confident on growth and profitability for the India business, Jefferies stated.
