The June quarter dealt a double whammy to Tata Motors. On one hand, India's business was hit by disruptions related to the second wave of Covid. On the other hand, its British subsidiary Jaguar & Land Rover (JLR) saw chip shortages, something which may drag its numbers for at least two quarters. Analysts are still positive on the stock, though many have cut earnings estimates for FY22 by up to 80 percent. Following the June quarter earnings, Motilal Oswal Securities has cut its FY22 EPS estimate by 77 percent, accounting for sales loss due to the ongoing semiconductor shortage.
