The company, however, posted a 55 percent decline in consolidated net profit at Rs 9 crore for the September quarter, mainly on account of change in tax rate and regulations. The company had posted a profit of Rs 20 crore during the same period of 2018-19.
In an interview with CNBC-TV18, Dinesh Agarwal, founder and chief executive officer of IndiaMART InterMESH said, “We have seen that the incremental growth in the deferred revenue has slowed down considerably over the last two quarters and that’s probably going to show up in the revenue over the next couple of quarters if the economic conditions do not improve substantially quickly,” Agarwal revealed that growth will be lower than the 25 percent target.
Recently, global brokerage house, Jefferies initiated coverage on the stock with a buy call and target price of Rs 2,500, implying a 26 percent potential upside from current levels.
“It is the dominant B2B classified platform in India. It has strong moats to defend it against the competition,” it said, adding that it expects a 20 percent revenue CAGR over FY20-22 despite macro headwinds.
Jefferies also believes that the margin should expand to 28 percent by FY22 from 16 percent in FY19. The brokerage sees multiple growth drivers for the company which should help drive 20 percent revenue CAGR over FY20-22 despite macro headwinds related to the economic slowdown.
