FirstCry shares extend gains after strong market debut, expert recommendations on buy, sell, or hold
Following a robust debut, shares of FirstCry continued to climb on Dalal Street, significantly surpassing their estimated fair value of ₹550 to ₹575. Stock market experts are advising investors to book profits and consider exiting due to challenges faced by FirstCry’s parent company, Brainbees Solutions Limited. These challenges include ongoing negative cash flows, regulatory hurdles, and increasing debt.
Akriti Mehrotra, a Research Analyst at StoxBox, highlighted that while FirstCry has effectively integrated its physical and online platforms to benefit from network effects and operational efficiency, the company is grappling with financial difficulties. In FY24, FirstCry's revenue grew by 15% to Rs. 6,575.1 crores, but it recorded losses of Rs. 321.5 crores, and its debt surged from Rs. 176.5 crores to Rs. 462.7 crores.
"The funds being raised are intended for operational purposes rather than debt reduction," Mehrotra explained. "While the market's initial enthusiasm is evident in the listing price, it doesn’t fully reflect the company’s financial difficulties. We recommend that investors who have been allotted shares should consider booking profits and exiting their positions for now."
