Nomura has initiated coverage on Swiggy with a buy call and a target price of ₹550 per share. At the current market price of ₹439.75, the brokerage’s target implies an upside of around 25 percent.
The brokerage said Swiggy’s food delivery business is on a steady profitability path and has emerged as a key cash generator. It added that the company’s quick commerce vertical, while still in a challenger position, is showing signs of improving profitability and could become an important growth driver over the medium term.
Nomura highlighted that Swiggy is well-funded to scale its quick commerce operations further, with a low risk of equity dilution. The report, however, cautioned that a broader macro slowdown could pose risks to the company’s growth assumptions, particularly in the online food delivery segment.
Overall, Nomura believes Swiggy offers a compelling growth and profitability story, supported by a strong market position and improved business fundamentals.
