"PAT grew by 22.4% YoY, despite rise in interest costs. Growth momentum expected to moderate from a near term perspective with easing of lockdown restriction and rising opportunities for consumers to order online. However, rise in RM prices could keep taper GM in range of 40-41% in our view while EBITDA Margins could revert to its band of 18-19% on the back of normalizing A&P spends. We maintain BUY with TP of Rs. 4,170 as we value the stock at 45x its FY23E EPS and roll forward to FY23E numbers.
