Despite recent challenges, including pressure from weak urban demand and declining rural sales, TTK Prestige has been strategically launching mass-priced products in smaller towns while enhancing its premium offerings in metropolitan areas. This dual approach aims to attract a wider customer base, particularly as microfinance institutions have scaled back lending due to stress in their loan portfolios. Year-to-date, TTK Prestige shares have seen a decline of 11%, but the recent quarterly results indicate a positive shift in the company's operational performance, potentially signaling a recovery ahead.
