AB Fashion shares jump 3% after Jefferies maintains ‘Buy' rating with target price of Rs 100
By Aman Shukla Published on May 27, 2025, 09:54 IST
Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail Ltd (AB Fashion) shares surged over 3% after Jefferies reiterated a buy rating with a target price of ₹100, suggesting a potential upside of around 15% from the current ₹87.15 market price. As of 9:52 AM, the shares were trading 2.13% higher at Rs 88.60.
In its Q4FY25 update, Jefferies highlighted AB Fashion's solid performance backed by multiple positives. The Pantaloons brand demonstrated a strong margin improvement, while losses from TMRW, the company's digital-first portfolio, were reduced compared to prior quarters.
The ethnic wear segment, excluding TCNS, posted impressive growth of over 40%, coupled with better margins. This reflects AB Fashion's strategic focus on this high-growth category. Meanwhile, lifestyle brands showed healthy same-store sales (SSS), signaling stable consumer demand amid market challenges.
However, Jefferies noted a lower-than-expected net cash position, marking a key miss against their internal forecasts. Despite this, the brokerage remains confident in AB Fashion's fundamentals, expecting improved profitability in core business verticals to drive a valuation re-rating.
AB Fashion shares opened at ₹87.80 today, and, at the time of writing, reached a high of ₹90.00 and a low of ₹86.25. The stock remains volatile within its 52-week range of ₹77.25 to ₹121.71.
