Titan share price traded over 2% lower on Monday despite the company reported strong business performance for the quarter ended September 2024, exceeding analysts’ expectations. Titan shares opened 2.36% higher at a high of 3,750.00 apiece on BSE, but soon gave up gains on profit booking and were trading over 2% lower.

The Tata group firm, Titan Company, reported 25% year-on-year (YoY) growth in Q2FY25 led by higher than expected growth across most business segments. The company added a total of 75 stores (net) during the quarter expanding its combined retail network presence to 3,171 stores.

Jewellery domestic operations grew 25% YoY in Q2 after a relatively soft Q1. The non-solitaire studded segment recorded growth in high double-digits whereas the solitaire segment saw a decline amidst price uncertainty and demand supply dynamics in the international markets, both together resulting in overall studded sales growth in low double-digits for the quarter, Titan Company said in its Q1 business update.

Watches & Wearables domestic business grew 19% YoY. Revenue growth in Analog was around 25% YoY well supported by both volume and value growths. EyeCare’s domestic business grew 6% YoY, while in Emerging Businesses, Taneira's revenue grew 11% YoY.

“As per its Q2 business update, Titan has exceeded our growth expectations across most business segments. Importantly, jewellery has reported a significant improvement with 26% growth in Q2 vs our 15% expectation and 9% growth in Q1. LTL growth has also inched upwards to the mid-teens vs 3% in Q1, likely triggered by a big 900 bps duty cut. Revenue mix is likely a tad weaker with low-double-digits growth in the high-margin studded segment (vs ~25% overall growth),” said Devanshu Bansal, Research Analyst at Emkay Global Financial Services.

However, he believes Titan is comfortably placed to meet its ~12% jewellery EBIT margin guidance in FY25.

“Q2 outperformance should address investor concerns around potential moderation in growth for Titan and drive a 4-5% increase in our earnings estimates,” he added.

Emkay Global recommended a ‘Buy’ rating on Titan shares with a revised target price of 4,400 per share.
