Why CLSA Is More Bullish Than Morgan Stanley on the Same Numbers
The gap between this Jubilant FoodWorks CLSA rating and Morgan Stanley’s more neutral stance comes down to interpretation of largely overlapping data. CLSA characterises the same 9.2 percent India revenue growth as above estimates, while Morgan Stanley called it merely in-line, a subtle but meaningful difference in how each brokerage is reading the strength of the Q1 print. CLSA also specifically flags a 1.3 percent decline in the Eurasia business’s like-for-like growth, an international detail not emphasised in Morgan Stanley’s note, suggesting CLSA sees the domestic strength as more than offsetting a softer international performance.
With a target of Rs 520 against the stock’s pre-rally levels, this Jubilant FoodWorks CLSA rating implied meaningfully more upside than Morgan Stanley’s more conservative Rs 486 call, even before today’s sharp 4.17 percent rally.
