Jeweller and watchmaker Titan Company Ltd.'s shares rallied in trade on Friday, May 9, despite a muted market sentiment, as the Rekha Jhunjhunwala portfolio company posted a strong beat in its earnings show for the quarter ended March 2025.

At 10.55 am, Titan Company's stock was quoting Rs 3,483.3 apiece on the NSE, higher by 3.4 percent compared to the previous session's close.

Titan Company reported net profit of Rs 870 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, an increase of 11 percent from Rs 786 crore in the year-ago period.

The Tata-group company's consolidated revenue rose 20 per cent to Rs 13,477 crore in the March quarter as against Rs 11,257 crore in Q4FY24, boosted by strong sales in the jewellery and watches segments.

Operational leverage, a revived solitaire segment and small hedging gains powered Titan’s jewellery to a significant EBIT margin beat (11.9 percent) in Q4FY25, despite gross margin pressure and a 3 percentage point YoY contraction in the studded ratio.

Should you buy, sell, or hold Titan shares?

The performance across segments has been satisfying, despite pressures from rising gold rates and discretionary consumption, said Kotak Institutional Equities. However, the brokerage maintained its 'reduce' rating, saying, "Our cautious view is based on potential disruption of the studded jewelry business by LGDs, competitive pressure in the organized market and the unabated surge in gold prices, which is not good for margins."

Antique Stock Broking remains optimistic about Titna's medium to long term performance driven by market share gain in the jewelry business on account of strong brand name and execution, scaling up, and improving profitability of other brands. The brokerage reiterated its buy rating, with a marginally lower target price of Rs 4,195 per share.

"Consistently high/rising gold prices may dampen volume-led gains in FY26 especially amid heightened competitive intensity," said HDFC Securities, with a reinforced rating of 'reduce' and a price target of Rs 3,200 per share.

Nuvama Institutional Equities said, "Titan has proved its mettle time and again by emerging strong and successful against various regulatory hurdles that have emerged over the past one year. With robust balance sheet, strong brand equity and professional management team in place we remain bullish on Titan." The broking house maintained its 'buy' rating, with a price target of Rs 4,541, up from Rs 4,115 per share.
