Emami’s growth revival is on the cards; retaining a high conviction Buy for target price of ₹840 (44% upside): Anand Rathi

Driven by re-staging ‘Smart and Handsome’ in Q3 FY25 and ‘Kesh King’ (planned) in Q2 FY26, and D2C brands (TMC, Brillare) growth returning post management transition, we expect a 7% volume CAGR for Emami over FY25-27 (5% in FY25). The focus on innovation with 25 launches in FY25 and likely inorganic growth (Rs7.5bn cash on the Balance Sheet) should further support the growth outlook. The recent fall in prices of crude oil should keep input cost favourable, expanding margins (110bps over FY25-27). This should drive a 14% EPS CAGR over FY25-27; hence, we find the present valuation of 24x FY27e P/E attractive (a 37% discount to peers). Our TP of Rs840 implies 35x FY27e EPS
