    Investment Rationale
    The brokerage maintains a Neutral rating on the stock from a one-year perspective on account of fair valuations (58.5x FY22 EPS) and uncertain near-term recovery, especially in the B2B part of the business (~15% of sales). However, initiatives to grow the Growth and Pioneer categories could go a long way in revitalizing medium-term sales and earnings growth, which have dropped significantly in the past four years. These metrics reported an 8–10% CAGR over the past four years v/s ~16% and ~20%, respectively, in the first six years of the decade.
