Brokerage view on Raymond Lifesyle valuations

InCred Equities in its analyst meet takeaways said the company's management guidance entailed 12-15 per cent growth between FY24-FY28F.

The EBITDA margin of the lifestyle business expanded from 9.7% pre-Covid to 15.9% in FY24, led by efforts on store optimization, improvement in product mix and stepping up its casualization and premiumization strategy, it added.
 
In the past, the Raymond group has been largely viewed as a textile/apparel player, however the analyst meet on Lifestyle 2.0 brought to light its position in the wedding wear segment and aggressive targets, implying a sizeable business going ahead (Rs38bn/Rs58bn in FY27F/30F, as per management’s 1.5x/2.3x targets, respectively, over the FY24 level of Rs25.4bn), added InCred report.
 
Considering that Vedant Fashion gets a 16x FY26F EV/sales valuation for its wedding business, RLL’s valuation has the potential for an upside, above our/street estimates going ahead.
