CITI said Q1 of FY21 was better than (muted) expectations. It maintained a buy stance on the stock with a target price of Rs 155. The brokerage expects multiple drivers for JLR's volume improvement, which should boost profits, due to operating leverage.
Credit Suisse said valuations of stock were benign. JLR trades at close to bottom of its historical range. It raised target price of the stock to Rs 113 and expects EPS to rise by 1-2% in FY21-23.
Motilal Oswal said, "We expect losses to gradually reduce in coming quarters and turn profitable only from 4QFY21. We have lowered our FY21E loss estimates by 8% to factor in faster JLR volume recovery and cost cutting initiatives." The brokerage maintains buy with target price of Rs 127.
