In its June 15 report, ICICI Securities had maintained a "HOLD" rating on the stock with the target price of Rs 130. The performance during the festive period would be critical for revenues to gain momentum, the brokerage had said. 

"We model revenue de-growth of 18 per cent in FY21 and growth of 22 per cent in FY22. We expect a gradual improvement in margin profile and expect EBITDA margins to recover to 7 per cent in FY22. However, this continues to be lower compared to its peers (EBITDA margin: 13-15 per cent). The key monitorable would be revenue recovery, sustaining the growth, and managing the working capital. We value the company on EV/sales and assign a multiple of 0.5x," it added.
