“Volume growth is likely to be driven by recovery in the domestic 2W market, new products (Raider, 125CC scooters and iQube) as well as a recovery in exports. TVSL is enjoying the benefits of economies of scale and operating leverage, due to which the EBITDA margin is sustaining at double-digit level,” said Motilal Oswal.

“With supply challenges now largely over, we expect TVS’ outperformance to continue on the back of the ramp-up of its launches. Even in EVs, it seems to be ahead of its listed peers with a strong product pipeline in place for the next 24 months; it has signed up with industry experts and joint venture partners to emerge as a leading player in EVs,” said a report by HDFC Securities.

Anand Rathi is positive on the stock due to many factors like — expectations of a cyclical upturn in domestic/export 2Ws, market-share gains - domestic and overseas; relentless EV strategy and margin expansion emanating from rising economies of scale, a better product mix and cost-cutting measures.
