Motilal Oswal Financial Services (MOFSL) has released its latest share price targets and recommendations for a selection of Indian companies, including CreditAccess Grameen, Tata Consumer Products Ltd (TCPL), Lupin Ltd, Aditya Birla Lifestyle Brands, Urban Company, and V-Mart Retail. The brokerage firm's analysis provides a mix of 'Buy' and 'Neutral' ratings, indicating varied outlooks for these stocks.
CreditAccess Grameen: Strong Buy Recommendation
MOFSL has assigned a 'Buy' rating to CreditAccess Grameen Ltd, setting a target price of Rs 1,760, which implies an 18% upside potential. The firm highlighted CreditAccess Grameen's healthy Q4 performance, marked by improved operating efficiency and resilience in navigating industry challenges. The normalization of new stress formation and robust internal processes are expected to support accelerated loan growth and profitability. With a strong capital position (Tier-1 of 24%), MOFSL anticipates a significant growth trajectory driven by improving asset quality trends.
Tata Consumer Products Ltd (TCPL): Positive Outlook
Tata Consumer Products Ltd also received a 'Buy' rating from MOFSL, with a target price of Rs 1,450, suggesting a 23% upside. The brokerage noted TCPL's accelerating growth momentum and margin expansion in the March quarter. Future growth is expected to be fueled by enhanced Go-To-Market (GTM) execution, increasing traction in quick commerce, and the scaling of high-growth businesses like Tata Sampann, RTD beverages, Capital Foods, and Organic India. Operating margins are projected to expand due to easing coffee costs, stable tea prices, portfolio premiumization, and innovation-led launches.
V-Mart Retail: Beneficiary of Organized Shift
V-Mart Retail secured a 'Buy' rating and a target price of Rs 900, offering the highest upside potential among the recommendations at 33%. MOFSL lauded V-Mart's strong finish to FY26, with 25% year-on-year revenue growth and a 12% acceleration in blended same-store sales growth (SSSG). Improved productivity of V-Mart/Unlimited stores and reduced losses in the online segment contributed to better overall profitability. The firm sees V-Mart as a key beneficiary of the shift from unorganized to organized retail, despite raw material inflation remaining a near-term monitorable.
Aditya Birla Lifestyle Brands: Neutral Stance Maintained
MOFSL maintained a 'Neutral' rating for Aditya Birla Lifestyle Brands (ABLBL), revising its target price slightly to Rs 120, indicating a modest 5% upside. While ABLBL has achieved scale and healthy profitability, focusing on emerging brands like American Eagle, Reebok, and Van Heusen Innerwear, MOFSL believes sustained double-digit growth could be challenging. This is attributed to the widespread presence of lifestyle brands across various retail channels and increasing direct-to-consumer (D2C) competition. MOFSL expressed a preference for Arvind Fashions due to its superior growth profile.
Lupin: Stable Earnings Ahead
Lupin also received a 'Neutral' rating from MOFSL, with a target price of Rs 2,520, implying a 6% upside. The pharmaceutical company delivered another quarter of strong performance, surpassing revenue, EBITDA, and PAT expectations. Growth was driven by increased traction in niche US products, which achieved over $1.3 billion in annual sales, and broad-based growth across key geographies. However, MOFSL projects earnings to remain stable over FY26-28 due to anticipated competition in certain niche US market products, suggesting limited upside from current valuations.
Urban Company: Valuation Concerns Lead to Downside
For Urban Company, MOFSL issued a 'Neutral' rating with a target price of Rs 135, which implies a 3% downside. While the firm acknowledges Urban Company's strong position to benefit from the long-term formalization of home services, it believes that current valuations already reflect much of the core business improvements. MOFSL cited ongoing investments, uncertainty in the Total Addressable Market (TAM) for InstaHelp, execution risks related to penetration, and challenges in habit formation as factors that balance the risk-reward profile.
