Nomura

Foreign broking house Nomura has maintained buy rating on the stock with a target at Rs 520 per share.

The Q1 was a miss, while deleveraging is a key driver for stock. The M&HCV recovery is on track, and PVs to ramp up further.

JLR to benefit from improved chip supply, reported CNBC-TV18.

Jefferies

Brokerage firm Jefferies has kept buy call on the stock with a target at Rs 540 per share.

It has cut FY23 EPS estimate by 24 percent. The Q1 EBITDA fell 40% YoY & 51 percent below estimate, led by weak JLR results.

India business performed well with CV EBITDA ahead of the estimate.

The company expects JLR performance to improve significantly starting Q2, reported CNBC-TV18.

CLSA

Research firm CLSA has retained outperform rating on the stock and raised the target price to Rs 494 from Rs 453 per share.

The company reported a very weak quarter largely led by significant deterioration in JLR.

We take comfort from JLR’s growing order backlog and strong domestic business, said CLSA.

Motilal Oswal

Tata Motors should witness a gradual recovery as supply-side issues ease (for JLR) and commodity headwinds stabilize (for the India business). It will benefit from: a) a macro recovery, b) company-specific volume and margin drivers, and c) a sharp improvement in FCF and leverage in both JLR as well as the India business.

We maintain our Buy rating, with a target price of ~ Rs 520/share (Jun’24E based SoTP).
