The research firm ICICI Securities believes earnings of apparel brands and retail companies under their coverage may surprise positively from Q3FY22E as the likely demand recovery may result in better than expected margin performance. Some of the costs savings achieved during pandemic may sustain and coupled with high operating leverage may lead to higher than pre-covid margins from Q3FY22E.  Stocks like Trent, V-Mart and Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail are the preferred picks backed by their strong and consistent track record of execution.

Anand Rathi's research report on Kirloskar Oil Engines

KOEL made a good start to FY23. Q1 consolidated revenue/PAT grew ~45%/~154% y/y with a 14.5% EBITDA margin. With government focus on infrastructure and Atma Nirbhar, and strong end-user demand pick-up, we expect better growth in the medium to longer term. Further, its efforts regarding exports (aiming at 15-18%growth) and better B2C margins (higher demand and prices) would prove to be the additional kicker.

Hence, strong demand across segments, a sharper focus on exports and efforts to enhance its presence augurs well for the company in coming years. The new leadership (MD, CEO-B2B, CEO-B2C) would bring a fresh vision and focus. We have a Buy rating on the stock, with a TP of Rs279 (13xFY24e EPS).
