Valuation
Symphony delivered a strong Q2FY25 financial results, driven by its robust domestic sales growth, solid brand value, and diversified product portfolio. Symphony’s recent launch of 17 air cooler models and expansion into the water heater market are expected to boost demand and sales performance, while its focus on environmentally conscious solutions and innovative products should drive long-term growth. Management expressed confidence in future growth, projecting a double-digit CAGR in India, fueled by market expansion and advancements in product innovation. Despite recent share buybacks and elevated valuation, we believe the stock offers value at current levels. Hence, we upgrade our rating on the stock from REDUCE to ACCUMULATE with a revised target price of Rs. 1,519, based on 37x FY26E adjusted EPS.
