Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is Lorem Ipsum?

A. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Q. Why do we use it?

A. It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Rekha Jhunjhunwala, wife of late investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, lost over Rs 800 crore in notional value on her investments in Titan Company, as the stock fell nearly 5 per cent in Monday's trade following the Q4 miss.

Jhunjhunwala held 5.35 per cent stake in the Tata group firm as on March 31, 2024. Her stake in Titan was worth Rs 16,792 crore at Titan's closing price on Friday. Titan's m-cap fell below the Rs 3 lakh crore-mark to Rs 2,98,815 crore on Monday morning from Rs 3,13,868 crore on Friday, dragging Jhunjhunwala's notional investment value to Rs 15,986 crore, down Rs 805 crore.

Titan shares fell 5.18 per cent to hit a low of Rs 3,352.25 on BSE. The jewellery maker reported a 7 per cent rise in standalone net profit at Rs 786 crore in Q4 from Rs 734 crore in the same quarter last year. Revenue for the quarter was up 17 per cent at Rs 10,047 crore.

Titan Company’s Q4FY2024 performance was affected by lower-than-expected Ebitda margins at 9.5 per cent, resulting in lower Ebitda growth of 9 per cent. Sharekhan said intense competition in the weak demand environment led to dip in the margins of jewellery business due to higher consumer offers.

Titan Company is targeting aggressive growth in the jewellery business but the EBIT margin of the business is likely to remain weak in the near term and improve in H2FY2025, Sharekhan said which suggested a revised target of Rs 3,990 on the stock.

Antique Stock Broking said volatility in gold prices and heighten competitive intensity would continue to impact Titan's margins in the near term.

"Post the 4QFY24 performance and factoring near term margin headwinds in the jewelry business, we have cut our EPS estimates by 8 per cent in FY25 and 2 per cent in FY26. We remain optimistic about Titan's long term performance driven by the market share gain in the jewelry business on account of strong brand name and execution, scaling up, and improving profitability of other brands," it said.

Antique has suggested 'BUY' on Titan with a revised target price of Rs 4,017 against Rs 4,100 earlier.
