Why Has Morgan Stanley Stayed Neutral on Titan Despite Strong Festive Sales?
Festive Demand Drives Jewellery Growth but Margin Leverage Limited
Global brokerage Morgan Stanley has maintained its Neutral rating on Titan Company Ltd. with a target price of ₹3,500. The brokerage noted that festive season trends have been encouraging, led by jewellery demand and higher gold-driven realizations, but overall margin expansion remains modest.
🎯 Titan’s jewellery business witnessed strong footfall during Q2 FY26, aided by festive offers and higher average ticket sizes. However, gold price-led growth continues to dominate revenue trends rather than volume expansion.
The firm stated that while the company delivered a better-than-feared print, operating leverage was partly offset by promotional costs. Watches and wearables registered steady performance, while eyewear and emerging categories continued to scale gradually.
💡 Gulshan Khera, CFP®, who is also a SEBI Regd Investment Adviser and Consumer Sector Analyst at Indian-Share-Tips.com, observes that Titan’s brand-led pricing power remains its key strength, yet valuations already factor in most medium-term positives.
He notes that investors should watch for the sustainability of demand once the festive tailwinds subside. “While Titan’s franchise continues to command premium positioning, incremental upside may hinge on expanding volume-driven profitability,” Khera said.

Investor Takeaway
Morgan Stanley’s neutral view on Titan reflects balanced expectations — robust sales momentum but limited operating margin room due to elevated input costs. While festive demand supports near-term earnings, long-term upside could depend on product diversification and volume-led growth in jewellery and watches.
