[Dilip Davda]
The company is a multi-brand retailer and operates in a highly competitive and fragmented segment. It marked growth in its top and bottom lines for the reported periods. The business model is “High Volume/Low margin” type. Based on its FY24 annualized earnings, the issue appears fully priced. Well-informed investors may park funds for the medium term.
