Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Swiggy shares fell up to 9.55% to Rs 433.25 on BSE in the morning session on Tuesday after peer Zomato surprised investors by reporting a slowdown in the food delivery business. The Q3 miss led brokerages to downgrade Zomato shares as well as cut target prices. Zomato shares fell 11% to Rs 214 on BSE as target prices fell to as low as Rs 130 given by global brokerage firm Macquarie. Nomura reduced target price from Rs 320 to Rs 290, Jefferies to Rs 255 from Rs 275, Nuvama from Rs 325 to Rs 300, and Kotak Equities from Rs 305 to Rs 275. Zomato’s food delivery GOV growth came in at 17% YoY and missed estimates by 1.8%. The company's management also pointed out that the food delivery business is going through a broad-based slowdown in demand, which started during the second half of November.

"We believe that BHFL has the necessary advantages to deliver AUM/PAT CAGR of ~25%/20% over the next five years, similar to the growth pace of early FY10s e-HDFC Ltd," IIFL Securities stated. Despite Bajaj Housing Finance’s robust foundation and potential for long-term growth, the brokerage expressed cautio...
