Jefferies Sees 18% Upside in Cholamandalam Investment
Cholamandalam Investment's share price had a bumpy week, but Jefferies, a financial company, thinks it's a good time to buy their shares.
They believe the company will grow a lot in the next few years.
Jefferies says the company's practices are normal and similar to other companies in the same business.
They also mentioned that the company has been hiring more employees directly and has been reducing cash transactions.
Jefferies thinks the concerns raised by others don't have much merit and recommends buying the shares, expecting them to go up by 18%.
Cholamandalam Investment's share price saw volatility this week, with a 5% drop on Monday and a 7% recovery by Wednesday.
Jefferies recommends a Buy rating with a target price of Rs 1,980 per share, implying an 18% upside.
Jefferies sees 30%+ EPS growth in FY27, driven by stabilization in autos, MSME book revival, NIM expansion, and lower credit costs.
Cholamandalam Investment is trading at 4.1x FY27 BV estimates and 21x FY27 PE estimates.
Jefferies considers the allegations by Cobrapost as noise and similar to standard practices in the industry.
