According to analysts at Jefferies, Nykaa has been able to carve out a niche for itself through its focus on BPC, which differentiates it from horizontals (Flipkart and Amazon). The recent years have seen a surge in transacting customers for the company. Nykaa should benefit from the increasing order frequencies and basket values, as the newer customer cohorts mature, the brokerage firm said in result update. “We expect Nykaa to remain in a hypergrowth phase in the medium term as online BPC and fashion penetration ramps up,” analysts said.
In base case, the foreign brokerage firm builds in strong order CAGR of 25 per cent plus for Nykaa BPC over FY22-26E, led by new customer additions. Order frequency is expected to see gradual growth as customer cohorts mature. BPC GMV is expected to grow strongly, at ~25 per cent CAGR over FY22-26E. Fashion is expected to continue ramping up on the low base. “We build-in ~30 per cent GMV CAGR for Fashion. We value Nykaa's BPC at 7.5x FY25E sales and Fashion at 2.5x FY25E sales to arrive at a price target (PT) of Rs 200,” analysts at Jefferies said.
“On downside scenario we build in order CAGR of ~20 per cent for Nykaa BPC over FY22-26E. Order frequency and AOV is estimated to stay flat in the medium term on account of the potential dilution from new customers. BPC GMV is expected to grow strongly at around 20 per cent CAGR over FY22-26E. We build in ~20 per cent GMV CAGR for Fashion. We value Nykaa's BPC at 4.5x FY25E sales and Fashion at 1x FY25 sales to arrive at a PT of Rs 100,” the brokerage firm said.
