Brokerage Views on Jyothy Labs: Motilal Oswal Financial Services (MOFSL)
Analysts at MOFSL believe that subdued demand sentiment, high raw material cost inflation, and elevated competitive intensity could limit the company's growth in the near term. From hereon, market share gains and the success of new launches will be critical for its earnings growth.
"Jyothy Labs' margin expansion beyond 18 per cent is also constrained by its focus on the mass and rural segments. Therefore, we believe its growth potential is adequately priced in at the current valuation," the brokerage said.
MOFSL has maintained a 'Neutral' rating on the stock with a target price (TP) of ₹375.
Elara Capital
According to a report by Elara Capital, Jyothy Labs posted a 6.4 per cent volume growth in FY25, which was offset by weak performance in the household insecticide and personal care segments. "The growth outlook remains uninspiring in the near term, with urban demand facing headwinds and rising competitive pressure in detergents and dishwashing. However, the recent 5 per cent correction in the stock in the past three months offers a modest upside," it said.
The brokerage has retained an 'Accumulate' rating on the stock but reduced the TP to ₹390 from ₹450 earlier, citing the muted near-term growth visibility.
HDFC Securities
Analysts at HDFC Securities believe that Jyothy Labs' Q4 earnings were a mixed bag as domestic volume growth of 4 per cent was below their expectation of 7-8 per cent. However, Ebitda margin expanded to 16.8 per cent on account of a 10 per cent Y-o-Y decline in ad spends during the quarter. The company management expects margins to hover around 16-17 per cent, with an upside bias, as operating leverage flows through.
"In our view, the growth will be driven through gaining market share (despite being a challenger brand) by making its product portfolio comprehensive and providing value-for-money offerings and new leadership focusing on the fundamentals of FMCG, such as increasing the distribution network and shifting marketing spend from BTL to ATL. The earlier management was focused on mergers and acquisitions (M&As)," HDFC Securities said in a report.
The brokerage has maintained a 'Buy' rating on the stock with a target price of ₹505 per equity share.

Sensex ends marginally higher, Nifty 50 above 24,600 — 10 key highlights from Indian stock market today
Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, gained on Thursday, mirroring positive cues from global markets. However, gains were limited as investors remained cautious ahead of the scheduled Russia-U.S. talks on the Ukraine conflict, keeping sentiment subdued in the holiday-shortened week. Indian equity indices ended marginally higher with Nifty above 24,600 on August 14. At close, the Sensex was up 57.75 points or 0.07 percent at 80,597.66, and the Nifty was up 11.95 points or 0.05 percent at 24,631.30. Meanwhile, the broader markets witnessed a sell-off with mid and small-cap indices under pressure. The NSE Mid-cap index fell 0.3 percent, and the Smallcap index lost 0.4 percent. 'After a volatile weekly expiry-day session, Indian equities ended flat as investors traded cautiously ahead of the US-Russia summit. IT and pharma stocks advanced on the back of a softer US inflation data and dovish outlook. Banking and consumer durables also gained on hopes of a consumption-led recovery. However, weakness was seen in metals and energy indices due to falling commodity prices and oversupply concerns. S&P's upgrade of India's credit rating and its stable outlook, citing strong policy continuity and infrastructure-led growth, is likely to support the domestic market. In the near-term, the market is expected to trade in a tight range with a mixed bias, looking forward to upcoming geopolitical meets,' explained Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited. As many as 20 stocks ended higher in the Nifty 50 index, with Wipro (up 2 percent), Eternal (up 1.71 percent), and Infosys (up 1.50 percent) ending as the top gainers. Shares of Tata Steel (down 2.81 percent), Adani Ports (down 1.38 percent), and Hero Moto (down 1.27 percent) were the top losers in the index. Sectoral performance was mixed. Nifty Consumer Durables was the top gainer (up 0.75 percent), followed by Nifty IT (0.4 percent). Among losers, Metal and Realty were the drags, down 1.39 percent and 0.76 percent, respectively. Ola Electric (18.42 crore), JSW Cement (10.51 crore), Muthoot Finance (8.76 crore shares), VMM (7.94 crore), and Tata Steel (4.72 crore shares) were the most active stocks in terms of volume on the NSE. 74 stocks hit their respective upper circuits in trade today while 66 stocks were locked in their respective lower circuits on NSE. Out of 3,066 stocks traded on the NSE, 1,131 advanced, while 1,809 declined. Some 104 stocks remained unchanged. As many as 59 stocks, including Eternal, Apollo Hospitals, TVS Motor Company, InterGlobe Aviation, M&M, and Hyundai Motor hit their 52-week highs in intraday trade. Jindal Saw, Vodafone Idea, HFCL, Cohance Life, Bata India, and Colgate Palmolive were among the 75 stocks that hit their 52-week lows on the NSE. 'Nifty witnessed a lackluster trading session, remaining range-bound ahead of the Trump–Putin meeting on Friday. The overall sentiment is likely to favour bullish trades as long as the index holds above 24,337. On the higher side, resistance is placed at 24,660 and 24,850, while a fall below 24,337 could trigger a resumption of the bearish trend,' said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.
