Jefferies Prefers Two-Wheeler Stocks Over Passenger Vehicles Amid Earnings Divergence
Jefferies favors two-wheeler manufacturers TVS Motor and Eicher Motors as top picks due to stronger volume growth, resilient margins, and improving earnings. In contrast, it remains cautious on passenger vehicle makers like Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles and Hyundai Motor India, which faced margin pressures and earnings declines despite volume growth in the June quarter. The brokerage highlights a widening earnings gap between the two segments, attributing two-wheelers' outperformance to better cost pass-through and disciplined controls amid rising raw material costs.
