Experts believe Mahindra and Mahindra UVs volume growth to accelerate with the recent launches and upcoming Mahindra XUV300 in Q4FY19. While the UV portfolio is subdued till now. They are impressed with the LCV, M&HCV, 3W and export segments which have pulled up the YTDFY19 total automotive volume growth to 13%, despite UV growth being flat. Experts remain cautious on the tractor growth outlook for FY20-21E owing to cyclicality and have assumed a 4% CAGR over FY20-21E.

An investor can buy the scrip for Rs 893 target." Right now, Mahindra and Mahindra shares are revolving around Rs 683.

Standing in sync with Elara Securities views Naveen Kumar Dubey, Research Analyst at Narnolia Financial Advisors told Zee Business Online, "The management has lowered its tractor volume guidance to 10% from earlier 12% due to concern on Rabi sowing and reservoir level being low in few states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana. The growth outlook for the overall industry continues to be muted due to benign consumer sentiments. However, new product launches in a high volume segment (UVs) will help the company to regain lost market share in medium to long term as per the management. Further, management’s strategy to achieve a 50% revenue contribution from the tractor segment in the next 3 years coupled with cost-cutting initiatives."
