The stock of Tata Group's auto company Tata Motors is witnessing a huge decline of about 6% today. This stock is under pressure today after a decision by US President Donald Trump. Trump has announced a 25% tariff on cars and light trucks imported into the US. He said that this tariff will be in addition to the existing tariff. This will also be implemented from April 2 and its recovery will start from April 3.

Apart from commercial vehicles, Tata Motors is also the parent company of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR). America is a major market for JLR. In the year 2024, about one-third of its sales came from North America. A large part of this was from America. 22% of JLR's total came from America.

There is still uncertainty about this. However, many suggested that the risk-reward of Tata Motors shares has now become favorable after the stock's sharp decline from its July 2024 peak. CLSA has a "high conviction outperform" rating on Tata Motors and said in a note on March 12 that the stock is trading at 1x on FY27 EV-to-EBITDA, well below the ideal multiple of 2.5x. Nuvama said the same day that if the US imposes tariffs, JLR will have to balance it through price hikes and cost savings.
