Top Ideas in Apparel & Fashion Retail
- In this insight, we present our top investment ideas in the Apparel & Fashion retail sector, analyzing recent earnings results and key insights from company earnings calls.
- Names discussed include Page Industries (PAG IN), Vedant Fashions (MANYAVAR IN), Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd (ABFRL IN), Arvind Fashions (ARVINDFA IN) and Go Fashion India (GOCOLORS IN).
- We have a bearish stance on all names except Page Industries (PAG IN).
Vodafone Idea: A Lifeline or a False Dawn?
- Vodafone Idea (IDEA IN) gains a lifeline with the waiver of Rs. 24,700 crore bank guarantees for pre-2022 spectrum acquisitions.
- The waiver eases financial strain, boosts cash flow, and enables critical investments in 4G and 5G upgrades amidst competition from Reliance Industries (RIL IN)‘s Jio and Bharti Airtel (BHARTI IN).
- While a positive step, Vi’s recovery depends on fundraising, reducing debt, and regaining market share, making its turnaround uncertain but slightly more plausible.
Navigating MFI Consumer Credit Exuberance – A Rocky Road Head
- In this insight, we examine the key challenges facing the sector and discuss potential paths forward for MFI-focused lenders.
- Companies in this sector have seen sharp declines, with stocks down 45% from their 52-week highs and showing negative returns of -37% YTD.
- Considering the Industry data, it would be fair to conclude that the pain in the industry is likely to persist. CREDAG, SPANDANA, AUBANK, and IIB are key names to watch.
