Titan‘s share price was deep in the red on Monday morning ahead of the company’s earnings for the quarter ended September scheduled to be released on Tuesday. The company’s consolidated revenue is expected to jump around 16% year–on-year to ₹14,511 crore with a net profit of ₹1,102 crore.
What To Expect: Motilal Oswal expects Titan's standalone revenue growth to reach 20% year on year (excluding bullion) for Q2FY25, with a same-store sales growth (SSSG) of 14%. The brokerage expects the jewellery EBIT margin to stay nearly stable at 13.8% compared to 14.1% in Q2FY24.
Healthy growth is anticipated in the watches and other segments, while eye care may experience muted growth. The analysts estimate an inventory loss of ₹300 crore-350 crore due to the custom duty cut but have not factored this impact into their figures.
