NDTV Profit’s special research section collates quality and in-depth equity and economy research reports from across India’s top brokerages, asset managers and research agencies. These reports offer NDTV Profit’s subscribers an opportunity to expand their understanding of companies, sectors and the economy.
Brokerage firm Motilal Oswal highlighted that the textile sector outperformed the broader market in Q1 FY27, delivering ~18% YoY growth, supported by a favorable low base and higher order execution. Margins also improved, aided by lower tariffs.
The brokerage expects the sector to sustain its outperformance, with ~18–20% growth and gradual margin recovery as cotton prices stabilise. The key monitorable include cotton prices, government export incentives, freight and fuel costs, the import-duty deadline on cotton, and incremental order flows from the US and Europe.
Historically, the textile sector has traded at a 10-year mean of 24x P/E and 14x EV/Ebitda from the brokerage coverage universe, with topline, Ebitda, and PAT growing just 6%, 4%, and 3% respectively over the last decade.
Given improved visibility, Motilal Oswal expects its coverage to grow 14%, 27%, and 38% respectively over FY26-28 and have therefore assigned a 7-10% premium to the mean EV/Ebitda and P/E multiple.
Motilal Oswal prefers Gokaldas Export, and Arvind, from the apparel space, and Indo Count Industries from the home textile space.
