Nomura Retains 'Buy' on United Spirits, Raises Target Price to Rs 1,700
Nomura has maintained its 'Buy' rating on United Spirits, raising the target price to Rs 1,700 from Rs 1,600, anticipating stronger performance in the second half of FY27. This optimism is based on expected double-digit growth in premium and above (P&A) sales, recovery from the Maharashtra Mild Liquor disruption anniversary, and festive demand. The company reported healthy sales growth excluding Maharashtra, with sustained gross margins supported by product mix and trade benefits. Operating margins improved due to cost efficiencies, while advertising spend increased ahead of the festive season.
