Why Titan Share Price is Rising

Indian equities opened lower on 7 Jan 2025, as geopolitical tensions and tariff-related concerns weighed on investor sentiment, limiting optimism around the earnings outlook and keeping the Sensex and Nifty below record levels.

Amid the broader market weakness, shares of jewellery and watchmaker Titan Company remained in focus.

The stock touched a fresh 52-week high of Rs 4,300, surpassing the previous record set just a day earlier, and has now extended its rally for the fourth consecutive session.

Here's why Titan is gaining attention.

# Robust Q3 Business Update

Titan shares rose 4.1% in morning trade and touched an all-time high on the BSE after the company released its Q3FY26 business update. Titan reported its Q3FY26 update on Tuesday after market hours, stating that its consumer businesses recorded a 40% YoY growth during the December quarter.

The jewellery portfolio posted a 41% YoY growth in Q3FY26, supported by strong average selling price (ASP) increases, which helped offset largely flat buyer growth. Like-for-like (LFL) sales growth for Tanishq and CaratLane remained healthy at low-30% levels.

The watch segment reported a 13% YoY growth, driven by a 17% YoY rise in the analogue segment, while the smartwatches category declined 26% YoY due to lower volumes, with ASPs remaining broadly flat.

The eyecare division grew 16% YoY, while the fragrances business expanded 22% YoY. Titan's international business, largely comprising jewellery brands such as Tanishq, Mia and CaratLane, recorded a strong 81% YoY growth during the quarter.

What Next?

Going forward, Titan plans to continue strengthening its regional growth strategy within India, with a sharp focus on gaining market share in the East and South through deeper regionalisation and targeted investments.

The company believes this playbook can be extended to other states and intends to roll it out more broadly in the near future.

In the North and West, where consumer sentiment had earlier remained subdued, Titan is seeing signs of revival and expects improving demand, including in studded jewellery, as market conditions normalise and store-level disruptions ease.

In the watches business, Titan remains focused on driving growth in the analogue segment through new launches and product innovation, supported by encouraging festive-season trends.

Internationally, the company expects strong momentum to continue, led by North America, where it benefits from early-mover advantages and a growing studded jewellery portfolio.

In the Middle East, despite entering later as a challenger, Titan plans to steadily scale its presence.

Alongside this, Titan is placing strong emphasis on revamping, transforming and expanding its existing store network.

During the first half of the year, the company expanded and renovated nearly 35 stores, which has delivered encouraging results.

For Tanishq, Titan expects to add around 35-40 new stores during the year, with 40 as the targeted number. In addition, the company plans to undertake 70-80 store renovation and expansion projects over the full year.
