ICICI Securities Report

Bata India Ltd.'s weak performance continued in Q4 (revenue declined 5%; two-year compound annual growth rate decline of 7%).

Portfolio-specific headwinds (higher formal and fashion salience) continued to hurt; some of the peers have already seen good recovery.

  1. ramping up sales from new channels (chatshop, home delivery, store on wheels),
  2. capturing semi-urban / rural demand through franchisee stores, and 3
  3. restarting promotional campaigns and new launches.

That said, the company is likely to be a key beneficiary of ‘full unlocking’.
