Titan Delivers Robust Q1; SEBI RA Saurabh Sahu Sees Growth Momentum, Monitors Debt Servicing Capacity

Shares of Titan Company traded marginally higher on Monday after the firm reported strong first-quarter (Q1) results, delivering growth across its core segments and subsidiaries.

Profit after tax surged 53% year-on-year, while EBIT margin expanded by 199 basis points to 11.7%. The company’s debt-service coverage ratio stood at 0.38, which Titan attributed to a timing mismatch.

Analyst Take 

SEBI-registered analyst Saurabh Sahu said Titan’s performance highlights resilient demand, expanding margins, and subsidiary strength. 

He noted that the jewellery division grew 19% year-on-year, excluding bullion sales, and continues to be the company’s key growth driver. 

The watches and wearables segment posted a 24% revenue rise, with EBIT margin expanding to 22.6% on premium offerings. Eyewear revenue increased 13% though margins came under pressure.

Sahu also pointed to strong subsidiary performance. CaratLane delivered 39% growth driven by digital and omnichannel traction. Titan Engineering & Automation Ltd. (TEAL) reported a 56% revenue jump with a 24.4% EBIT margin. 

Emerging businesses reduced losses by half year-on-year, showing early signs of a turnaround.

He added that new businesses are stabilizing and the company remains well-positioned for future growth. However, Sahu cautioned that investors should keep an eye on (debt-service coverage ratio) DSCR trends, as sustained low levels could indicate future stress.
