Goldman Sachs has initiated coverage on LG Electronics with a Buy rating and a target price of ₹1,750, citing favourable structural drivers.
The brokerage believes the company is well placed to grow faster than the industry in the near to medium term. It highlighted three key drivers: first, a shifting income cohort mix and rising penetration, which should accelerate growth in mid and premium products; second, LG’s consistent innovation track record that enables sustained premiumisation; and third, parent LG Electronics Inc’s ‘Global South’ strategy, which is expected to boost exports while expanding manufacturing in India.
However, Goldman Sachs flagged rising competitive intensity and a commodity price upcycle as potential constraints, which could limit the scope for further margin expansion despite strong revenue prospects.
