Brokerage firm Jefferies found these three new electric SUVs well-designed and believes they can provide a compelling proposition for customers.

Jefferies sees M&M's auto volumes rising at 14% CAGR over FY24-27E, led by 18% CAGR for SUVs. It also assumes M&M’s tractor volumes remain flat YoY in FY25E, followed by 12% CAGR in FY26-27E.

Jefferies upgraded FY25-27E EPS estimates by 2% factoring in slightly higher tractor volumes, and expects 12% volume and 18% EPS CAGR over FY24-27E.

The foreign brokerage has a ‘Buy’ rating on M&M shares and raised the target price to a whopping ₹3,510 per share from ₹2,910 earlier.

M&M also said it intends to rollout a total capex of ₹27,000 crore between FY25-27.

According to Chirag Jain, Senior Research Analyst at Emkay Global Financial Services, M&M’s upcoming launch pipeline remains strong with an unchanged focus on lifestyle and aspirational products (9 ICE, 7 BEVs, 7 LCVs to be launched till 2030), even as the company highlighted strong long-term growth potential for domestic tractors – with exports and farm mechanization providing additional growth avenues.

M&M is focused on driving strong double-digit growth in the Farm Machinery segment through product and network expansion.

“Considering the strong demand tailwind in autos (led by recent launches), expected recovery in farm segment, preparedness for EV transition and consistent execution on improving ROEs/FCFs, we have upgraded our target multiple to 24x (20x earlier) for the core business," JM Financial said.

The brokerage house maintained a ‘Buy’ rating on M&M shares and raised SoTP based March 2025 target price to ₹3,125 per share from ₹2,575 earlier.

Over the past 3-4 years, M&M has not only demonstrated strong performance improvement in its key segments but has also prioritized prudent capital allocation practices.

Motilal Oswal expects M&M to continue to focus on prudent capital allocation going forward as well. It raised FY25E and FY26E earnings estimates by 7% each to factor in the healthy response to its new model launches in the automotive segment and initial signs of tractor demand revival for FY25.

The brokerage estimates M&M to clock a revenue, EBITDA and PAT CAGR of ~18%, 20% and 20% over FY24-26.
