What is the News?
Nuvama, a prominent brokerage firm, has recommended a “Buy” call on Britannia Industries Limited with a target price of Rs. 7,240 per share, indicating an upside potential of 41.70 percent from its previous day’s closing price of Rs. 5,109.50 per share.
Nuvama maintains a Buy rating on Britannia Industries, driven by a sharp increase in innovation-led growth under the new MD, Rakshit Hargave. The company has several products ready for launch across categories such as health-focused savouries, adult nutrition/protein, dairy, garlic bread, sourdough bread and cheese. Management is also evaluating selective inorganic opportunities to expand capabilities. Britannia plans to increase advertising investments while optimizing below-the-line spending, supporting stronger brand engagement and future growth.
The brokerage expects a gradual recovery in FY27 after a muted Q4FY26. Before wholesale disruption and the West Asia impact, domestic business was growing at around 9-9.5 percent. Modern trade and e-commerce grew 15-16 percent and over 50 percent, respectively, with e-commerce now contributing 6 percent of domestic sales (over 12 percent excluding low-ticket packs).
Signature brands such as Treat, Jim Jam and Little Hearts grew nearly 3x the company average, while wafers, dairy and cakes delivered double-digit growth. Although wheat and palm oil inflation remain concerns, calibrated price hikes and grammage adjustments should help manage margin pressures.
