Brokerage Outlook Remains Positive
Following the strong Q1 results, leading brokerages maintained their optimistic stance on Tata Consumer Products stock:
- ICICI Securities: The firm reiterated its 'buy' recommendation for TCPL, maintaining an unchanged price target of Rs 1450. While ICICI Securities slightly adjusted its earnings estimates for FY27 downwards by 2.5%, projections for FY28 were broadly sustained. The brokerage anticipates a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 16%, 20%, and 28% for revenue, EBITDA, and adjusted Profit After Tax (PAT) respectively, over the FY26–28 period. Potential risks highlighted included higher-than-expected competitive pressures, steep commodity price hikes, and the potential failure of new product launches.
- Motilal Oswal: This brokerage assigned an even higher target price of Rs 1500 for the stock. Motilal Oswal projects that Tata Consumer Products' growth momentum will accelerate, driven by enhanced go-to-market (GTM) execution strategies, increasing e-commerce penetration, the introduction of premium products, and the continued scaling up of high-growth segments such as Tata Sampann, Ready-to-Drink (RTD) Beverages, Capital Foods, and Organic India. The company is also expected to achieve operating margin expansion in the coming years, fueled by portfolio premiumization, innovation-led product diversification, and a growing contribution from higher-margin growth businesses and health & wellness categories. Motilal Oswal forecasts a CAGR of 10%, 16%, and 21% for revenue, EBITDA, and PAT, respectively, for the Tata Group firm during FY26-28.
The positive Q1 performance and strong brokerage endorsements signal continued confidence in Tata Consumer Products' strategic direction and market position within the competitive FMCG sector.
