Titan Shares Gain as Q2 Profit Soars 59% YoY to ₹1,120 Crore; Jewellery Sales Shine, Morgan Stanley Sets ₹3,953 Target Price
Early festive demand and robust performance across Tanishq, CaratLane, and Zoya fuel Titan’s record quarterly results; analysts remain bullish on sustained growth momentum.
Titan Company shares climbed 1.4% to hit an intraday high of Rs.3,781.20 on the BSE on Tuesday, November 4, after the Tata Group lifestyle major reported a stellar 59% year-on-year (YoY) rise in consolidated net profit to Rs.1,120 crore for Q2 FY26. The surge was powered by a strong festive season boost and stellar performance from its jewellery division, which remained the company’s key growth driver.
Total sales rose 22% YoY to Rs..16,461 crore, reflecting broad-based momentum across business segments. EBITDA jumped 51% to Rs.1,799 crore, aided by improved margins and double-digit growth in most categories.
Titan’s jewellery division—comprising Tanishq, Mia, Zoya, and CaratLane—continued to anchor performance, with total income (excluding bullion and Digi-Gold) rising 21% YoY to Rs.14,092 crore. The domestic jewellery segment, including Tanishq, Mia, and Zoya, grew 18% to Rs.12,460 crore, while CaratLane, Titan’s online-first jewellery brand, registered an impressive 32% YoY growth to Rs.1,072 crore. International operations across the UAE and North America nearly doubled revenue to ₹561 crore, underscoring Titan’s expanding global footprint.
The watches and wearables segment also reported solid growth, with total income up 13% YoY to Rs.1,477 crore, driven by robust demand for Titan, Fastrack, and Sonata. EBIT stood at Rs.238 crore, yielding a margin of 16.1%. The analog watches category recorded 17% growth, fueled by higher volumes and average selling prices.
Titan’s eyewear business, operating under the Titan Eye+ brand, saw income rise 9% YoY to ₹220 crore, with EBIT of ₹12 crore and a 5.3% margin. The company expanded its premium eyewear presence by adding five new ‘Runway’ stores during the quarter.
Following the results, global brokerage firm Morgan Stanley reaffirmed its Overweight rating on Titan and set a target price of Rs.3,953. The brokerage said Titan outperformed expectations across revenue, EBITDA, and profit after tax (PAT) metrics, citing continued margin expansion and festive-driven sales strength.
Titan’s consolidated EBITDA margin (excluding bullion) stood at 11.5%, 64 basis points above consensus estimates. The jewellery business posted a robust 19% YoY growth, supported by higher ticket sizes and sustained festive demand, with the company’s gold exchange programme further boosting volumes despite elevated gold prices. CaratLane’s revenue growth of 32% came with a healthy margin of 10.1%.
Among other segments, watches grew 13% YoY with a 16.2% EBIT margin, while eyewear posted 8% growth with a relatively softer 5.5% margin. Morgan Stanley emphasised that festive demand trends and strong consumer sentiment are likely to sustain Titan’s growth momentum in the coming quarters, reinforcing its leadership in India’s lifestyle and jewellery market.

Aisshpra Gems & Jewels Opens Four Stores in One Day, Takes Network to 20; Targets 30 Stores by March 2028
Four franchise showrooms add approximately 12,000 sq. ft. of retail space, taking the brand’s total retail footprint beyond 90,000 sq. ft.; Bettiah marks its entry into Bihar.
Aisshpra Gems & Jewels, the jewellery retail brand established in Gorakhpur in 1940, today announced the simultaneous opening of four showrooms in Bahraich, Bettiah, Lucknow and Mirzapur. The milestone takes its operational network from 16 to 20 stores in a single day, with three more stores under construction and a target of 30 operational stores by March 2028.




Each new franchise-operated showroom measures approximately 3,000 sq. ft. Together, the openings add around 12,000 sq. ft. of retail space and take the brand’s overall retail footprint to more than 90,000 sq. ft. The Bettiah opening is Aisshpra’s first in Bihar, where Siwan and Gopalganj are also in its expansion pipeline. The Lucknow launch marks its third showroom in the city.
Jewel Story takes centre stage across all four stores
All four showrooms feature a dedicated store-in-store presence for Jewel Story, Aisshpra’s lifestyle jewellery brand. Designed for teenagers, young adults and customers up to around 40 years of age, Jewel Story focuses on lightweight, wearable, modern jewellery across 9KT to 22KT gold purity. The concept seeks to make jewellery relevant to everyday personal style, alongside Aisshpra’s traditional, bridal and occasion-wear collections.





Leadership on expansion and legacy
Atul Saraf, Director, Aisshpra Gems & Jewels
“Since 1940, our most important achievement has been the trust we have earned across generations. Opening four stores together is a proud milestone, and every new showroom brings the responsibility of preserving that trust.”
Anoop Saraf, Director, Aisshpra Gems & Jewels
“As we enter new markets, Trust, Integrity and Ethics remain our guiding principles. We want customers in every city to experience the same transparency, quality and care that have defined Aisshpra for decades.”
Vaibhav Saraf, Director, Aisshpra Gems & Jewels
“Moving from 16 to 20 stores in one day is a major jump in our network. Our footprint now exceeds 90,000 sq. ft., three additional stores are under construction, and we are working towards 30 stores by March 2028. Bettiah opens the door to Bihar, while our third Lucknow showroom deepens our presence in a key market.”
Saumitra Saraf, Director, Aisshpra Gems & Jewels
“Younger customers increasingly want jewellery that feels contemporary, versatile and easy to wear. Jewel Story brings that proposition to every new showroom, with modern designs spanning 9KT to 22KT.”
Inauguration celebrations and opening offers
The celebrations featured Mouni Roy in Lucknow, Adah Sharma in Bahraich and Ayesha Khan in Mirzapur. The Bettiah inauguration took place in the presence of local dignitaries.
Customers can avail inaugural offers of up to 30% off gold jewellery making charges and diamond value, subject to applicable terms and conditions. Offer validity is to be confirmed.
