HDFC Securities Stands Firm on Swiggy
HDFC Securities has reaffirmed its 'Buy' rating on Swiggy, setting a target price of Rs 460 per share. The brokerage's valuation is based on multiples applied to its core food delivery business and its Instamart quick commerce operations.
Instamart Losses Seen Peaking, Path to Profitability
The report highlights steady gains in food delivery performance metrics. However, it also notes increasing performance differences between Swiggy Instamart and its competitor, Blinkit. Despite these competitive pressures, HDFC Securities believes losses in the quick commerce segment have likely peaked.
This outlook suggests that at current valuations, Swiggy's Instamart business is essentially valued at no cost to investors. HDFC Securities also updated its estimates for Adjusted EBITDA losses, forecasting -Rs 15.6 billion for FY27 and -Rs 3.9 billion for FY28, a slight revision from previous figures. This points to a more optimistic view on the path toward profitability for Swiggy's various operations.
