Emkay Global on JK Tyre:

Emkay Global in its latest note reiterated its ‘Buy’ call on the stock, raising its target price to Rs 625 per share. This implies an upside potential of more than 27 percent from the stock’s previous closing price of Rs 490.90 per share.

The domestic brokerage said that the firm is entering a phase of accelerating revenue growth and offers valuation comfort compared to peers. It added that the stock appears to be undervalued at current levels.

Emkay said that the company’s Rs 5,000-crore medium-term capex plan enhances multiyear growth visibility. JK Tyre’s strong cash generation would help fund most of the capex, it added.
