Jefferies Initiates Coverage on Liquor Stocks with 'Buy' Ratings
Jefferies, a financial company, is now recommending three alcohol companies: United Spirits, Radico Khaitan, and Allied Blenders.
They gave all three a 'Buy' rating, meaning they think the stock prices will go up.
Jefferies believes the market for expensive alcohol is growing because people are buying more premium products.
The report highlights Radico Khaitan as the top pick.
These companies are expected to grow their sales quickly.
United Spirits faces some challenges due to a tax increase, but is still expected to grow.
Jefferies anticipates profit margins to expand as inflation stabilizes and the India-UK FTA lowers import duties.
Jefferies initiated coverage on United Spirits, Radico Khaitan, and Allied Blenders.
All three stocks received a 'Buy' rating from the brokerage firm.
Radico Khaitan is projected to have the highest growth with a 35% EPS CAGR.
Jefferies expects double-digit top-line growth for all three companies.
Premiumisation is the key driver in the Indian spirits market.
