Market expert Avinash Gorakshkar advises against making any fresh move in this stock expecting a further downfall in it.
He said that the earnings on Rs 247 cr equity will only be 25-30 paise so this is not the company which will give earnings growth now, he further said. He said that any rerating in this stock is highly unlikely.
He also called Nykaa’s decision of giving 5 bonus shares for every share that investors hold as a wrong one.
He, however said that the business is quite good and how much of that will translate into earnings growth is uncertain. He said that the potential of beauty business is strong.
He recommends an ‘Avoid’ in this stock.
He said that the bonus shares which have been given to investors will reflect in demat accounts in a month’s time and so there could be more selling pressure. He said that shares may fall over the next one month.
On Tuesday the stock was trading in large volumes amid high selling pressure with over 2.5 cr shares on the block.
