The brokerage reportedly said that Jubilant management is cautiously optimistic on its near-term demand outlook as consumer sentiments are yet to improve meaningfully. However, the brokerage feels that lower input cost inflation has provided greater disposable income and hence SSG is likely to stay positive. The brokerage added that near-term margins will be largely determined by SSG, as per reports.
