Maruti Suzuki gains as Citi maintains buy; cut target to Rs 7,400

It believes that the company is best positioned to ride out the cycle, given its strong positioning and balance sheet.

Shares of Maruti Suzuki India rose 1 percent intraday Friday after brokerage house Citi maintained buy rating but cut target to Rs 7,400 from Rs 8,000 per share.


Citi cut FY20/22 profit estimates by 12%/3%, and also cut volumes sharply for FY20, given the slow start to the year.

Current slowdown, now in its 11 months, will probably be second longest slowdown. However, after the 12-18 month downturn, the probability of a 2-4 year upturn is much higher.

At 12:18 hrs Maruti Suzuki India was quoting at Rs 6,524.10, up to Rs 36, or 0.55 percent on the BSE.
