This step was adhered to by international broker agent company UBS releasing a ‘sell’ ranking with a target cost of Rs 825.
The brokerage firm stated Range Rover, Defender and Range Rover Sport are the costs versions of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) that have actually been raising the Tata Motors UK arm’s typical asking price (ASP) and gross margin. But the prolonged effective run of these versions has actually begun to modest, with the order publication dropping listed below the pre-Covid degrees. The international brokerage firm anticipates price cuts on Range Rover might likewise climb, pointing out previous such circumstances with Defender and Range Rover Sport.
“With JLR’s order backlog already below pre-COVID and incremental bookings lagging supply, we would not be surprised if the incentives for Range Rover—JLR’s apex model— start rising soon from near-zero levels. Rising discounts, moderating growth and a lack of any new ICE/hybrid launch could result in significantly weaker financials for FY26, even if consensus extrapolates the last two years’ results,” UBS stated.
The small amounts in JLR’s quantity comes with a time when need in India for business lorries (Curricula vitae) is tottering while traveler lorries (PVs) have actually begun underperforming their local peers in development and margin terms.

It likewise takes place to be JLR’s biggest offering design in the United States. Given the moment considering that its launch in 2022 and the Defender criterion, UBS anticipates price cuts to maintain climbing directionally also as near-term distributions might be impacted by the interruption from flooding at a light weight aluminum distributor.
JLR has actually utilized the semiconductor scarcity to distribution manufacturing in favour of these versions, which have additional decreased its dependancy on reduced valued and margin versions.
“ASP/GM expanded from £49,000/26.7 per cent in FY20 to £72,000/31 per cent in FY24 as incentives fell to the lowest levels among peers. The success of these models also mitigated the impact of a relatively weaker recovery in China, its highest-margin market. However, the extended successful run of these models has started to moderate and the order book is now below pre-COVID levels,” UBS stated.
The international brokerage firm worths JLR at Rs 340, on 7 times 1 year onward PE. “We value the Indian CV/PV segments at Rs 280/Rs 170 on 10 times/14 times one-year forward EV/Ebitda. We value investments in subsidiaries/associates at Rs 35. We expect further downside risk from margin slippage at JLR and within Indian PVs (especially the EV arm) on any significant shortfall in performance due to high valuations,” UBS stated.
