Over the past six months, Westlife Foodworld has experienced a stable demand environment, with a slight improvement in Q4 FY25, however this is seasonally weak quarter. A favorable base is further contributing to an improved growth print. Consumer sentiment is expected to pick up gradually from late Q1 FY26, driven by potential interest rate cuts and fiscal measures implemented in Budget 2025.

Motilal Oswal Report

We believe that once the demand environment improves, Westlife Foodworld Ltd. will be a key beneficiary. The company has been more aggressive in-store additions, which was not the case historically. The current demand environment is not conducive to aggressive expansion; therefore, the benefits of these efforts are likely to be back-ended.

The revenue gap between dine-in and delivery has narrowed, driven by improved dine-in footfall. We remain watchful for average daily sales recovery, as it could quickly enhance unit economics. The stock is currently trading at ~38 times FY26E and ~29x FY27E pre IND-AS Ebitda.

We reiterate our Neutral rating with a target price of Rs 800, based on 35x FY27E EV/Ebitda (pre-IND-AS).
