Market Share Gains
Motilal Oswal's latest analysis shows Radico Khaitan consistently outperforming the industry, leading to significant market share gains. The company now holds about 8% of the Indian spirits market, estimated at 310 million cases for FY25.
Premium Segment Surge
A key driver is the company's premium and alcobev (P&A) volumes, which have surged dramatically. They rose from roughly 4 million cases in FY15 to an estimated 17 million cases by FY26, significantly boosting Radico Khaitan's earnings.
Revenue Growth and Outlook
The P&A segment now accounts for about 70% of Radico Khaitan's Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) revenues, a substantial increase from 48% in FY19. This trend is expected to continue, fueled by ongoing premiumization efforts and operational improvements.
Motilal Oswal projects a strong 25% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for Earnings Per Share (EPS) between FY26 and FY28. This forecast underpins the company's current valuation.
Analyst Recommendation
Based on these projections, Motilal Oswal values Radico Khaitan at 55 times its estimated FY28 EPS, leading to a price target of INR3,850 per share. The firm reiterates its BUY recommendation, citing strong market positioning and financial forecasts as drivers for potential stock growth.
