Tata Motors has drawn fresh analyst attention as Jefferies revised its target and reiterated an ‘Underperform’ stance ahead of the company’s commercial vehicle (CV) business demerger. The split will see the stock trade ex-CV from October 15, paving the way for a dual listing structure.
What Does Jefferies Expect from Tata Motors’ CV Demerger?
Jefferies has maintained an ‘Underperform’ rating on Tata Motors while increasing its target price to ₹605 (from ₹575). The brokerage believes the stock may see temporary enthusiasm around the CV demerger but warns that several challenges could cap upside potential in the medium term.
What Are the Key Takeaways from Jefferies’ Report? Jefferies expects the commercial vehicle division to list separately by November, underlining that the demerger will help value unlocking but may also reveal individual segment profitability. While the passenger vehicle (PV) business remains robust, the brokerage has flagged potential risks around JLR and acquisition integration.
| Parameter | Jefferies View |
|---|---|
| Rating | Underperform |
| Revised Target Price | ₹605 (↑ from ₹575) |
| Catalyst | CV demerger; stock trades ex-CV from Oct 15 |
| New Listing | CV business to list in November as TMPVL (PV & JLR remain in existing entity) |
| Positives | Strong PV demand, improved CV margins |
| Concerns | JLR performance volatility, acquisition challenges, uncertain PV margins |
According to Jefferies, while near-term sentiment may turn positive due to the demerger theme, sustained valuation rerating would depend on earnings stability across both PV and JLR segments post listing.

Why Is the Demerger a Key Turning Point for Tata Motors? The move to separate the CV business will enable sharper focus on profitability and operational efficiency. However, investors may wait for clarity on valuation metrics and cross-holding structures before assigning fresh multiples.
The market reaction will likely depend on how the new CV entity performs independently in early quarters post-listing. Analysts suggest that global cues and JLR margin trends will continue to drive near-term stock movement.
Should Investors Accumulate Tata Motors at Current Levels? Investors with a long-term horizon can stay invested, focusing on PV growth and electric vehicle expansion. However, short-term traders should remain cautious due to potential valuation adjustment during the demerger phase.
