Motilal Oswal on Mahindra & Mahindra
According to a report from Motilal Oswal, the firm has raised its EPS estimates for Mahindra & Mahindra by 6% for FY25 and 11% for FY26. They project the company to achieve a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 17% in revenue, 20% in EBITDA, and 16% in PAT over FY24-26.
Despite outpacing its own earnings growth targets and attaining an 18% return on equity (RoE) in FY24, Mahindra & Mahindra continues to aim for an 18% RoE in the long term. This goal is supported by a significant increase in capex guidance to Rs 370 billion for FY25-27, up from Rs 195 billion during FY22-24.
The implied core price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio for Mahindra & Mahindra is projected at 24x for FY25E and 19x for FY26E EPS, which remains attractive compared to peers. Consequently, Motilal Oswal maintains a BUY rating on the stock with a revised target price of Rs 2,720, based on FY26E sum-of-the-parts (SOTP) valuation.
