LG Electronics share price gained another 1% in Thursday’s session on February 19 to reach an eight-week high of ₹1,576 apiece, extending its winning run to the fifth session
The stock remained in focus after a series of bullish calls from top brokerage firms, which highlighted the company’s strong positioning to outpace its peers in the near to medium term, which took attention away from the company’s weak set of numbers for the December-ended quarter.
Axis Securities expects the stock to reach ₹1,815
Domestic brokerage firm Axis Securities today initiated coverage on the stock with a ‘Buy’ rating and set a target price of ₹1,815 apiece, implying an upside potential of 16.3% from the stock’s previous closing price.
The brokerage said the company is well-positioned for sustained profitability and growth, supported by its leading market share, brand equity, and deep distribution networks.
It expects the company to maintain its consolidation in premium ranges as well as entry-level brands, with further scope to improve market share through entry into LG Essentials (an entry-level brand), capacity enhancements, and a robust supply chain, which it anticipates should support improvement in the company’s overall profitability.
The brokerage estimates a revenue, EBITDA, and PAT CAGR of 9%, 19%, and 14%, respectively, from FY26–28E, valuing the company at 44x FY28E EPS.
Goldman Sachs sees the stock hitting ₹1,750
This was the second major bullish call on the stock, as on Wednesday, global brokerage firm Goldman Sachs initiated coverage on the stock with a ‘Buy’ rating and sees the stock rising to ₹1,750 apiece, CNBC TV-18 reported. Mint could not independently verify this report.
The brokerage believes the company is well-positioned to outpace industry growth over the near to medium term, driven by a favourable shift in income cohorts and rising penetration in mid- and premium-segment products.
While maintaining its bullish outlook on the company, the brokerage also cautioned that rising competitive intensity and elevated commodity prices may limit margin expansion.
Prabhudas Lilladher has a target price of ₹1,808
Prabhudas Lilladher said that even though the company’s performance in the December quarter was weak, it continued to gain market share across major categories on a YTD basis.
The brokerage has maintained its ‘Buy’ rating on the stock but lowered the target price to ₹1,808 apiece from an earlier target price of ₹1,920 apiece.
