Analyst Reactions: Brokerage remained unimpressed by the Tata Group company’s performance during the January-March period. CLSA maintained its “underperform” rating for the stock with a price target of ₹1,288. The brokerage firm said that the company’s Q4 numbers missed its estimates on both revenue and profit. The global brokerage added that the margins were a little better due to higher prices of unbranded coffee.

Goldman Sachs also maintained its “neutral” rating for the stock with a target price of ₹1,030. The analysts highlighted that the company’s Indian business was slowing and the margin growth was driven by international and unbranded business. The brokerage also noted that the growth in Indian beverages business slowed down.
