Brokerage Views on Campus Activewear IPO

Because the firm is India’s top sports and athleisure footwear brand, brokerages have expressed confidence in the company’s response to the matter. It boasts difficult-to-replicate integrated production capabilities, as well as a reliable supply chain. It also has a strong omnichannel sales and distribution network with a pan-India presence and considers its move to the premium category to be a positive step.

Experts predict that Indian retail footwear would increase at an annual pace of 8% between FY20 and FY25, and 21.6 percent between FY21 and FY25, making it one of the fastest-growing discretionary categories throughout this time.

The brokerages believe that the firm’s expansion plans and broaden its omnichannel experience, diversification through aimed product innovation, emphasis on investment opportunities to further incorporate its distribution network, and remaining focused on digitalization to refine brand emphasis and push sales volumes will help the firm’s performance and profitability. However, the existence of powerful worldwide brands in a competitive field, as well as the possibility of rising raw material costs, pose threats to the firm.

Further Key Takeaways

Brokerages feel the company’s ability to provide a varied product portfolio for the whole family, including color palettes, styles, pricing ranges, and an appealing product value proposition, offers it an advantage over competitors. “With a 17 percent market share in India’s branded sports and athleisure footwear business and an integrated manufacturing infrastructure that supports cost leadership advantage,” the brokerages said in a report.

Another brokerage said that the company’s primary risks and worries stem from the prospect of a global economic downturn, its failure to attract customers and adapt to market trends, competition, volatility in critical raw material costs, and an unfavorable revenue mix.
