Brokerage note

Upgrade to BUY on favorable valuations
Early trade trends, based on our checks, suggest that the volume impact on
ITC's cigarette portfolio has been relatively contained (5-10% decline), while
the EBIT impact has been significant (~30% decline) due to the partial tax
absorption and adverse mix shifts, albeit broadly on expected lines. We
expect this EBIT headwind to moderate through FY2027E, supported by
calibrated pricing actions and the likely migration of price-sensitive KSFT and
RSFT consumers to EBIT-neutral Longs and premium DSFT variants. We
upgrade the stock to BUY from REDUCE, with a SoTP-based FV of Rs365
(Rs330 earlier), implying 22X September 2028E EPS.
