On Monday, BofA Securities maintained a Neutral stance on Eicher Motors (EIM:IN) stock, while increasing the price target to INR5,300 from INR4,950. The revision reflects a modestly optimistic outlook despite the stock's underperformance compared to peers on a year-to-date basis. The company's recent volume figures have not met expectations, contributing to the cautious rating.

Eicher Motors, known for its strong brand presence and premium motorcycle offerings, has seen some recent strategic moves. This includes the relaunch of the Standard Bullet in northern markets and a more visible advertising push, which marks a shift from the company's previous strategies. These interventions are part of efforts to reinvigorate volume growth, which is crucial for the company's performance.

Despite the stock's lagging performance, BofA Securities acknowledges the reasonable relative valuations of Eicher Motors. However, the firm emphasizes that growth visibility will be a key factor for the stock's future trajectory.

The upcoming festive period in October is expected to be positive for the company, yet BofA Securities prefers to wait and see the growth trajectory following the festive season before adopting a more bullish stance.

In summary, while Eicher Motors has made efforts to boost its business and remains a strong brand in the premium motorcycle segment, BofA Securities advises caution. The firm suggests waiting for clearer signs of sustained volume growth before becoming more positive on the stock's outlook.
