ICICI Securities Report

Apparel retail companies may see a gradual demand recovery entering CY22 amid rising concerns around Omicron. Most companies have strengthened their balance sheets in CY20-21 via equity raise, managed cost structure and working capital well, and are in a better position to manage current uncertainties.

Companies may continue to expand distribution network, while online / e-commerce sales momentum seen during CY20-21 may accelerate further.

Some of the cost savings achieved during pandemic may sustain, and coupled with high operating leverage, may structurally lead to higher than pre-Covid-19 margins.

Recent 15-20% stock price correction seems to factor in rising concerns around Omicron making valuations more reasonable, in our view.
