MOSL: RETAIL-Steady growth ahead-Prefer TRENT, ABFRL, FLFL and FRL

Retail: Steady growth ahead; Prefer TRENT, ABFRL, FLFL and FRL

 

With 4QFY19 earnings season behind, we assess the quarter gone by in this report, discussing our channel checks, margin improvement opportunities and our stock recommendations.

  • 4QFY19 earnings performance of our retail coverage universe was a mixed bag. While TRENT, FLFL, and FRL performed well, DMART, VMART, and ABFRL witnessed good revenue growth, but at the cost of margins.
  • Though 1QFY20 was off to a slow start, our recent channel checks indicate that the trend has now reversed. May'19 witnessed a bounce-back in growth coupled with upbeat market sentiments and favorable outlook.
  • TRENT, ABFRL, FRL, and Shopper's Stop should see healthy margin improvement due to increasing scale, mix of private labels and recovery from loss-making formats. But, margin improvement cycle for DMART, VMART, and FLFL may be largely behind.
  • We continue to prefer companies with the value fashion format and the food and grocery (F&G) segment. Amongst these, our top picks are ABFRL, TRENT, FLFL and FRL.
