Shoppers Stop: Motilal Oswal Retains 'Neutral' Stance Post Q1 Results But Hikes Target Price — Here's Why

Motilal Oswal believes improved profitability in the departmental stores and profitable scale-up of INTUNE remain key to the re-rating of Shoppers Stop.

Shoppers Stop's store count remained flat YoY as four additions in INTUNE were offset by three closures in Beauty and one in Home Stop.

Shoppers Stop revenue grew 6% YoY in Q1 FY25 (vs +8%/+2% YoY in Q3/Q4), led by 5% like-for-like growth in Departmental format and ~two times growth in INTUNE.

Motilal Oswal Report

Shoppers Stop Ltd.’s key focus areas remain:

  1. profitability improvement in Departmental format;

  2. revival of private label brands;

  3. focus on the high-growth and margin-accretive Beauty segment; and

  4. ramp-up in INTUNE.

We believe improved profitability in the departmental stores and profitable scale-up of INTUNE remain key to the re-rating of the stock.

We tweak our FY26/27E Ebitda estimates marginally, as a slower ramp-up in INTUNE was partly offset by better margin performance in departmental.

We build in FY25-28E revenue/Ebitda CAGR of 7%/9%.

We value Shoppers Stop at 10x Sep’27E EV/Ebitda (implies ~22.5x Sep’27E pre-INDAS 116 Ebitda) to arrive at our target price of Rs 510 (earlier Rs 475). Reiterate Neutral.
