On Tuesday, shares of the restaurant aggregator gained over two and half per cent despite the government on Monday asking e-commerce food majors to submit plans for improving complaint redressal mechanism withing 15 days.
However, global brokerage firm Macquarie initiated coverage on the stock with an underperform rating for the stock. As per the brokerage, the stock can correct further from current levels. Though, it mentioned that it expects the company to maintain a dominant position in the market, and it also has a good growth prospect, but the stock does not infuse confidence.
"Profitability is a function of scale, and this growth concern is corroborated with ongoing soft Apptopia metrics. Despite 60 per cent share price decline (vs index minus 15 per cent), see further downside," it said while assigning a target price of Rs 55 on Zomato. The target price set by the global brokerage firm is close to 52-week low of the share that it touched on May 11, 2022.
Meanwhile, Credit Suisse maintained an 'outperform' rating on Zomato with a target price of Rs 90. It translates into an upside of 33.5% on Monday's closing price of the share at Rs 67.40.
