Emkay puts 'sell' on Titan Industries

Emkay believes that it will be difficult for TIL’s jewellery division to garner market share at a similar pace as in the past, owing to rising gold and falling demand (3.6% in FY11E against 2.9% in FY08).

Rating: Sell

CMP: RS 764

Titan Industries (TIL) is likely to face challenging times ahead on weakening macro economic indicators affecting its watch business, rising gold slowing its jewellery market share gains and its new business initiatives straining cash flows. TIL���s watch business is to report a 1.6% and 5.7% fall in revenues and EBIDTA, espectively in FY10E, and a revival thereafter.

Emkay believes that it will be difficult for TIL���s jewellery division to garner market share at a similar pace as in the past, owing to rising gold and falling demand (3.6% in FY11E against 2.9% in FY08). The new business initiatives (precision engineering and eyewear) are still in investment phase, thereby denting TIL���s cash flows and EBITDA.

Emkay expects moderation in growth with net revenue, EBITDA and adjusted net profit of TIL to grow at a CAGR of 16.0%, 12.8% & 7.7%, respectively during FY08-11 E and an intermediate decline in FY10E. The above valuations are rich especially in the wake of moderation of growth and declining return ratios. We recommend a `Sell��� with a price target of Rs 671.
