Analysts views on Swiggy

JM Financial maintains its BUY rating on Swiggy.

According to media sources, Amazon has officially launched Amazon Now, its rapid commerce (QC) service, following almost six months of piloting it. Despite the fact that the service is presently only available in three Bengaluru pin codes, the news implies that at least seven major competitors would now compete in the QC market, as per the JM Financial Institutional Equities report.

"While expanding competition is concerning for early adopters in our coverage (namely Eternal-owned Blinkit and Swiggy-owned Instamart), we reiterate that their medium-term growth ambitions are unlikely to be affected". said JM Financial. This is because the QC market is still growing at an exponential rate as a result of consumer spending shifting channels, opportunities for deeper and newer category penetration, and growth in lower-tier locations, explain JM Financial analysts.

JM Financial maintains its BUY rating on Eternal and Swiggy.

Jefferies India Pvt. Ltd. says that Amazon has formally launched Q/C (Now) in parts of Bengaluru, a tab in the main app. The competition remains a key monitorable for Eternal & Swiggy even while the game will not be easy for Amazon given its late entry, added Jefferies.

“Specifically, on Amazon, we think these are early days, and the offering needs to have enough scale in terms of coverage to be a meaningful player in the overall Q/C market. This may require serious effort, including a burn, given Amazon lacks brand recall for Q/C unlike incumbents," said Jefferies.
