Today’s top research idea
Titan Industries: Healthy jewellery retail growth led by
festive demand
Jewellery division witnessed a good festive season, with retail sales growing in
double-digits. If not for PMLA, then growth would have been even better,
despite a high base. However, suspension of PMLA in early Oct’17 helped boost
sales further over the rest of the festive season.
TTAN mentioned that Jewellery retail growth in 3QFY18 was healthy and met
management’s internal expectations. We, however, note that primary growth
for 3QFY18 was lower due to upstocking by franchisees in 2QFY18 (to the
extent of INR2.5b due to early onset of festive season and as PMLA was
effective last quarter). Market share gain for Jewellery continued in 3QFY18.
Recent aggression to capitalize on opportunities across divisions is heartening.
Earnings CAGR is likely to be a massive 36% over FY17-20. The sheer scale of
top-line opportunity demands premium valuations. We thus maintain Buy with
revised a TP of INR975 (valued at 49x Dec’19E EPS).
