Investment Rationale
ITC?s cigarette revenue growth was strong at 6% YoY, led by 4% volume growth, while EBIT grew 4% YoY. EBIT margins declined by 120 bps YoY to 60.9% owing to higher RM (tobacco). However, this was partly offset by the improved mix and strategic cost savings. Axis Securities believes ITC?s long-term growth outlook remains intact. The stock is currently trading at 20x FY27E EPS, providing a margin of safety compared to peers.
