Should you buy Tata Capital shares?
Ahead of the Tata Capital IPO listing today, brokerages Emkay Global and JM Financial initiated coverage on the counter with ‘Add’ ratings. However, their target prices for Tata Capital shares are pegged at ₹360, signalling limited upside from hereon.
Emkay Global said its positive stance on the Tata group company is based on various factors, like: 1) the Tata parentage and brand name providing the vital ingredients, 2) diversified product range, geographical reach, and various sourcing channels minimizing concentration risk and 3) improving credit costs and operating leverage likely driving sustained RoA/RoE improvement to ~2.2%/15.4% in FY28E and >30% EPS growth in FY25-28E, aided by turnaround in the vehicle finance business and a high secured share in the product mix.
Meanwhile, JM Financial noted that at IPO upper price band of INR 326, the current expected valuation multiple of TCL is ~2.7x FY27E P/BV. “Based on its AUM growth and RoE profile, TCL should trade between CIFC and HDB, which have a valuation multiple of 3.7x and 2.5x FY27E P/BV, respectively. We assign TCL a target multiple of 2.9x FY27E BVPS reflecting a ~10%- 12% premium/discount to HDB Financial/CIFC,” JM Financial said.
