Analysts see marginal profit growth for Tata Consumer

Ambit Capital said Tata's core categories of tea and salt are likely to see clipped growth in the near-to-long term, given their maturity profile and slower premiumization rate
Managing sharp volatility in tea prices remains "highly challenging" for Tata Consumer, added Ambit.
Motilal Oswal said heavy rainfall in June, along with pest attacks, led to a dip in tea production on an annual basis.
For Tata Consumer, margins are likely to normalise after Q2, supported by strong production and stabilisation in tea prices, added Motilal Oswal.
At 11:30 am on November 3, Tata Consumer shares were trading 0.3% lower at Rs 1,162 apiece.

Titan down 1% ahead of Q2 results
Shares of Titan Company were trading 1% lower at Rs 3,706 apiece on November 3 ahead of the Q2 results announcement.
Titan is expected to post double-digit revenue growth, led by pricing gains in gold, said Elara Capital.
Ambit Insights said Titan's studded mix will rise gradually as new stores skew to smaller towns where the preference for studded is not as pronounced as in larger towns.
Titan is its top pick in large cap space and expects around 18-19% EBITDA CAGR over FY25-28 supported by steady revenue growth across non-jewellery segments, added Ambit Insights.
Centrum expects watches and eyewear segments to report 25% and 5% YoY growth, respectively, in Q2
So far in 2025, Titan shares rose 14%.
