Price Performance

Basis of our Recommendation

Prataap Snacks is positioned for robust growth, with management projecting double-digit revenue increases driven by the Namkeen and Extruded Snacks segments. The company's strategic focus on expanding its distribution network and consolidating manufacturing plants is expected to enhance operational efficiency, supporting revenue growth. However, rising raw material costs, particularly for palm oil and packaging, pose significant margin pressures. Despite these challenges, management is optimistic about achieving margin expansion to 7-8% by FY28 through cost optimization and strategic price increases. Vista's financial outlook reflects an anticipated CAGR of 13% in revenue and 42% in EBITDA over FY26-28, aligning with management's projections. The current valuation appears fair, with a target price of approximately 695.29, indicating a potential downside of around 40%. Industry dynamics, including improving pricing power and a shift towards premiumization, further support Prataap's growth trajectory. Over the next 12-24 months, key opportunities include the expansion of Quick Commerce and new product launches, while watchpoints include inflationary pressures on key inputs and execution risks related to plant consolidation
